The Haunted Sleepover

Part 12- Missing

As I start to walk back home, I feel sick to my stomach. Where could Ashlynn possibly be? Then I feel my phone buzz. It's my home phone. I pick it up, "Hello?" I say with a worried tone. "Hi Lizzie!" My brother answers. "Oh, hi! What's up?" I reply with a sigh of relief. "Well, mommy wanted to let you know that the police are looking for Ashlynn since she's been missing for a few days, and they wanted to bring you in for questioning." "I'll be right there" "Okay love you lizzy" "Love you too." I hang up. Now I feel like I'm gonna puke, and I do. Right on someone's lawn. I hope no one notices... Looking around, I don't see anyone, so I think I'm good.

I finally arrive home and my mother is sitting on the couch, looking at me with a worried look. I give her a be-right-back look and head upstairs. After a while, I manage to calm myself down, and head back downstairs.

"Hey, mom"  "Hi sweetie,
-
Hold on pause the story. I don't think I ever gave her brother a name and I'm tired of just saying "my brother" so let's give him a name. How about Cam? Yeah that's good. Anyways...
-
Cam told you righ-" "Yes, he did. When do we... go?" I sit down on the couch. "In about 10 minutes, or less, they're gonna call us and tell us to come down. How are you feeling?" Oh god, did she see me puke? "What do you mean?" I reply. "Well, having your best friend go missing for 3 days doesn't sound easy..." "Oh, well I was a bit nauseous earlier, but I'm better now." "That's go-" The phone rings. "It's the police, you ready to go?" "Yes, let me just grab my jacket."

~~ woosh they are at the police station now

I walk into this room that's filled with cob webs, rust and an old dirty table and chairs. There's a man sitting in one of the chairs, so I sit across from him.
"Hi, you must be Elizabeth?"
"Yes, that would be m-" "Great! Let's get started."
After about 5 minutes of questions, they started getting weirder.
"So, has anything strange like this ever happened before?" He asks. "Well, yes. One day when Ashlynn was over, there  was this man in our basement. I think he was robbing us an-" "So this was at your house, and Ashlynn was there?" He interrupts me for the 6th time. "Yeah, that's what I said." "So anytime something weird happens to her, you're always around?" He gives me a weird look. "Um, well- yeah.. I mean-n maybe? I'm not sure if anything happens to her when I'm not aroun-"
I hear him grunt. I clear my throat, and continue "I'm not sure if anything happens to her when I'm not around, it's not just m-" "Okay. Thank you. We will bring you in again tomorrow" ONCE AGAIN interrupting me. "Excuse me, sir. But could you please stop interrupting me? You asked me a question so I'm trying to answer."
"Oh, sorry it's just you don't sound very sure of yourself." "What? What are you implying? You think I had anything to do with this???" I raise my voice. This is making me mad. "Well, ma'am-"
All of a sudden a guard drags me out. This isn't right. Something's off.
