"What do you mean you have no idea where my daughter is?!" yelled Tom at the police officer."Sir, I understand your worries, but I need you to remain calm. We have looked around and she is nowhere to be found," he calmly responded.
"Have you tried contacting Chat Noir and Ladybug?"
"Well we tried Chat Noir, but we didn't see him. We did spot (A/N : Sorry had to do it) Ladybug. But since the incident we didn't talk to her."
"I don't care! My daughter is missing! For all we know she could have been kidnapped!"
The police officer, Mr. Clark sighed, "Okay we'll try to speak with her. Also, there is no actual evidence that she was kidnapped. Since all of her clothes were spread out on her bed and her school bag was missing, we can guess that she ran away."
"That is absurd! Why would she do that?!"
"It's why we will ask questions around to see if there is any kind motive for her to leave. If not we will announce it as a kidnapping."
"Fine."
"Now, sir. Did your daughter had any problems at home lately?" asked Mr.Clark.
"Well I don't think so. Her mother is away for a trip, and both of us did fight a lot because her grades were going down and I grounded her.......oooooohh....," Suddenly realised Tom.
The police man scribbled a few things in his note book and asked questions again,"Did you only fight verbally? Or did you hurt her in any physical way?"
"What?! No! I may be mad at her, but I wouldn't lay a hand on her."
Mr.Clark thought that Tom seemed honest and didn't question it.
"And why are her grades dropping?"
"Well she is never around. She is always outside. She's always late, sleeps in class and skips periods to."
"How come?"
"I don't know."
"Is she bullied?"
"Not that I know of. She has friends."
"Thank you sir. I will contact the school for further informations."
The next day
"Hello everyone, I'm officer Clark," he said to Mrs. Bustier's class, "Yesterday, Marinette has been reported missing".
Everyone looked at each, whispering mean comments or hypothesis on what happened to her.
Clark coughed loudly to interrupt the loud fuss, "It seems that she ran away. I'm here to ask you questions to try to know why she would do that."
The entire class already knew the answer. Most of them were feeling kind of guilty, even Rose and Juleka.
"Now, I'm going to be straight forward. Was she bullied?"
The students looked down and avoided eye contact with Mr. Clark. Seems like he has his answer.
"Please speak the truth, your teacher isn't here. This discussion will stay within those walls."
But still no one had the guts to speak. Only one blond student dared to raise his hand.
"Yes young man?"
Adrien took a deep breath and confessed, "Yes, she was. A few days ago she said some homophobic comments to two of our classmates. We all turned on her. Some of the students picked on her yesterday. When she left she seemed to be limping..."
"Did she made mean comments before that day?"
"No...She was always so sweet and kind to everybody. She kept saying it wasn't her, that is was an akuma. But there's no way for her to prove it..."
"Do you have proof?"
"Yes, she was filmed."
"I will need to see this. Thank you everyone."
The police officer was on his way to the door and stopped when his hand touched the doorknob, "I don't know that girl but...Think about it, she was always so sweet to you, why would she say that out of nowhere..."
At the Police station
Mr. Clark saw the video but something was bothering him. Like he said why would she say that? Even if she meant it, why in front of everyone? She knew they would turn on her if she said that. Something wasn't right.
