"Public report, suspected her to be on drugs which on arrival i could see was evident. She seems to be passing in and out of consciousness but is refusing medical care, she's also refusing to disclose her information but i couldn't search her because there wasnt a female officer present." The officer informed the women at the front desk of the police station, Lauren was only on her feet due to being held up by the two large officers at both sides of her. The cuffs were on to tight and were digging into Laurens wrists but she couldn't physically move to adjust her herself to make them more comfortable. 

Laurens sight went black again and the next time she woke up she was in a cell, the walls were stained a light yellow and the metal bench dug into her ribs. Lauren sat up inspecting her surroundings even more, it was a holding cell and three other women occupied it too. The three other women looked to Lauren trying to read the new comer in the cell, one of the women who also sat on the bench moved closer to Lauren to get a better look and before anything could happen luckily the opening of the cell scared the women to move back across the bench. 

"Hey kid, Come on" The female officer motioned with her index finger and Lauren was cautious at first but she finally manged to get her legs to work and walk towards the officer. The officer cuffed Lauren and guided her from the cell and down the hall to a private room. 

"Few questions before we start, okay ?" The officer informed picking up the paper work and pen left on the table in the room. 

"What's the date ?" Lauren asked frantically, still completely out of sorts. 

"I ask the questions, not you but it Saturday the first of August. " Lauren couldn't believe what she was hearing, the last time she could remember something it was meeting Lucy outside a party. On Sunday the twenty-sixth of July, Lauren had lost almost a week of memory. " Do you remember your name ?" The officer spoke up, unbothered by Laurens distressed state. 

"Lauren, Lauren Jauregui" 

"-And your age ?"

"Seventeen"

"Lauren, do you give your consent to be searched without an adult present ?" Lauren was hyperventilating, If she had no idea were she had been for the past week that meant neither had her family, neither had the girls. 

"Have you called my parents ?" Lauren was frantic, she was trying to remove her cuffs and jumped from her seat which caused the officer to become unease and place a hand on her holster. "YOU NEED TO TELL SOMEONE IM HERE, NOBODY KNOWS WHERE I AM"

"Kid you need to calm down, we will inform people of your where about's when this is over" The officer attempted to place Lauren back in her seat which took some force but she finally sat her back down, Even considering Laurens outburst the officer removed the cuff in an attempt to calm Lauren down. She also left the room to get her some water and inform the front desk of her name, the officer was then informed that Lauren was a missing persons which completely changed there approach to the situation. 

The officer re-entered the room. "So, Lauren. Your in our system as a missing person since twenty-eighth of July, but that report was filed in New York. So what's a kid of your age doing in DC on there own ?" Lauren wished she knew, she had no idea what had happened to the past few days until she woke up in that strangers house. Lauren explained everything to the officer, due to Lauren not recalling anything over the past few days the officer wanted Lauren to undergo tests but they couldn't until one of Laurens parents arrived. Lauren thanked the gods for this, she knew she was definitely intoxicated with something but she wasnt sure what and if Law and Order taught her anything, it was that you can be arrested if you have consumed class A drugs which she more than likely had.
