"So that's your story. A man in a green hood jumped in and took out three armed kidnappers ?" Detective Lance questioned, "who is he? And why, why would he do that?"

I shook my head not understanding what's fully happening.  We are in the living room of Oliver's house. Mrs. Queen and Walter were sitting on the couch in front of us with Detective Lance sitting in the chair besides them. Tommy, Oliver and I sat on the other couch. Tommy didn't say anything, but Oliver spoke up.

"I don't know. Find him and ask" Oliver said. Detective Lance nodded, although He didn't look like he believed us. Detective Lance then looked at me and Tommy.

"What about y'all" Detective Lance asked holding up the drawing, "Did you see the green hood guy?"

" I dont know, it happened so fast, and I couldn't see straight " I told him.  Detective Lance nodded and looked at Tommy.

"I saw, uh, movement. Everything was so blurry. I was kind of out of it" Tommy said. Detective Lance nodded.

"Yeah, It's funny isn't? One day back and someone's already gunning for you. Aren't you popular" Detective Lance said with some rudeness. He then looked at me before scoffing.

"Yeah, it's real funny. Brought back a Immigrant. Illegal may I add" Detective Lance said while standing up, " Know what, I'm gonna take you into custody until you're legal"

He then grabbed my arm, pulling me up from my seat. But his boss walked over putting a hand on Detective Lance shoulder.

"She's fine Lance. Leave the girl be" he said. Detective Lance scoffed before letting me go.

"So we have a vigilante running around and now a illegal immigrant?" Detective Lance said. I wasn't sure why he was acting so mean. Did something happened between him and Oliver's family?

"She is gonna get legal soon. She already has a date when they are doing it." Oliver spoke up. Detective Lance shook his head.

"Yeah, sure. Either way she is still a Immigrant. " he said. I was confused on what a Immigrant was. I looked at Tommy as I sat back down.

"Immigrant is someone who wasn't born in the place they went to" Tommy whispered to me. I slowly nodded, processing it. I was constantly learning new words, it's a lot to remember.

"Were you able to identify the men?" Mrs. Queen asked, trying to changing the subject.

"Scrubbed identities, and untraceable weapons . These were pros" the black man told her.

"Yeah. Well they probably figured you will pay a kings ransom to get your son back or a Queen ransom as it were" Detective Lance said, "after all, a parent would do anything to keep their child safe"

That got Oliver's attention. His head slowly looked up at Detective Lance. Mrs. Queen caught the tension and spoke up.

"I don't find your tone appropriate , detective " She said as Walter began standing up.

"If Oliver or Bear find anything else, we'll be in contact," Walter said" Thank you gentlemen for coming"

Detective Lance began to stand up, grabbing his case and picture that were still on the table. He then said something to Oliver before they left. Oliver walked over to the window. I watched him as he turn and looked back at me. I sighed and stood up. I smiled to everyone before going up to my room. Oliver followed me but grabbed my arm, dragging me into his room instead. He then got on his computer and began doing research on Adam Hunt, who is he, I have no clue. Oliver looked at his book and found Adams Hunt name in it. I agreed to help Oliver with his mission, although he doesn't want my name out there. That's why he told Lance only one person came and saved us. The guy in the green hood. Oliver knew that if he said someone else was there, they'd think it was me. Mostly because I am this so called 'immigrant'.
