"Sit down, Ms. Larson," The police officer said as he led me into the one-way room. I sat down on the chair that was placed in front of the long table in the middle of the room. I then looked at the walls around me. I knew I couldn't see the people behind them... but I knew they could see me. I wonder, how many people are watching me right now?
The officer cleared his throat making me turn back to him. He then handcuffed my wrists to the table and then turned on a bright light that shone in my face. I squinted as the light blinded me.
"So... whenever you're ready," The officer said.
"Ready for what? I have nothing to say," I said as I stared at the handcuffs.
"Ms. Larson—"
"Enough with the niceties, call me May," I said as I twisted my wrist in the handcuffs. I grimaced as the cuffs started rubbing my wrist raw.
"Relax, stop struggling, just tell us what happened," The officer told me. I tried looking at him, but the light was there. I then stared at the table. "Whenever you're ready," He said again.
I sighed. I just silently stared at the table. I heard the officer shuffle. He tapped his fingers against the table. "Alright, alright..." I said as I sighed. "It all started when..."
2 weeks earlier...
I stood in line at the coffee shop. I checked the time on my small purple watch latched tightly around my wrist. "I'm gonna be late," I whispered as I looked ahead of me to see how many more people had to have their order taken. I huffed and stepped out of the line and walked out of the coffee shop.
RING!
I heard my phone buzz from the inside of my purse. I unzipped my purse and took out my phone. "Hello?" I asked.
"May! Where are you? You're gonna be late girl!" My friend Rachel yelled over the phone.
"I know, I know, I'm on my way," I said as I hung up and started running down the sidewalk, my knee-high boots making a soft click as they hit the ground. I turned the corner and—
I ran into a stranger. The guy just took a step back and walked around me. "Watch where you're going!" I yelled to him. He ignored me. I scoffed and continued running down the street. I showed up at an apartment building a few minutes later and ripped open the door.
"I'm here, I'm here!" I called as I saw Rachel, Harley, and Rihanna waiting for me.
"Took you long enough," Rachel said.
"Well, now that you're here we should go over the plans—"
"What plans?" The officer asked, cutting me off.
"The plans? Well, the plans for after college... of course, we are graduating soon," I said.
"I see... continue," The officer said, shuffling in his chair again.
"Alright, so of course we discussed our plans and such..." I said looking around the room everywhere except where the light was.
"Okay, what happened after that?"
"Um... well, I met that guy I ran into on the way home again..."
I walked out of the building after discussing the plans... I then began walking down the street. I then saw the same guy I ran into on my way to the abandoned building—
