Somewhere else...
"What the hell? Did we just end up in the same place?" Cal' couldn't help but ask
"Calm down, let's check this place out first" Sally said walking forward
A few minutes later, they ended up on a highway, when a car appeared to be speeding, almost clearing them out of the way.
"Holy shit, what was that? Is everyone okay?" Cal' asked dusting himself off
"Yeah I think so, wait, where's Lizzie?"
"Ehem..."
"Oh, how did you get there? You weren't on the road in the first place, were you?" Cal' asked looking at Lizzie who was practically relaxing, leaning on the bark of a tree. Staring at Cal', Lizzie said nothing and just looked away
"Well there's my answer" Cal' said turning his head to look at the car which almost potentially ended their lives, the car seemed to have pulled over and two boys got out looking just a little bit older than them at about 17 years or so.
"Jesus, what're you kids doing out here?" The one who seemed to be driving yelled as he got close enough
"What are you guys doing out here at this time of the night?" The other guy asked, he seemed a bit calmer than the other one
"Um... We were... Um" Cal' started but he was never good at lying
"Camping... Yeah we were camping and decided to take a walk for the evening" coming to Cals' rescue was Sally, with an excuse she deemed good enough for the situation they were in, and it would have worked if not for a slight miscalculation... Did I say 'slight', I meant massive miscalculation
"Camping... In the middle of the night... In the middle of the woods... When there's a psychopathic murderer running around" the first guy said looking exasperated
"I'm sorry, a what?" Sally asked
"Nice try, get in the car we're leaving, besides there's a curfew, come on" the second guy said motioning for us to get in the car
"Um... If you don't mind me asking, where are you taking us?" Ben had to ask
"To the sheriff station, where else?" The first guy said
"Really?" The second guy asked
"It's not like we have a choice!" The first guy yelled from the car, as a matter of fact, it was a van, that held so much resemblance to the one they use at the sheriff's station.
Having no other choice, we all got in the van and it sped off heading to the sheriff's station.
"I never heard anything about a murderer before?" Sally whispered to Cal'
"Neither did I" he replied
"We're heading to the sheriff's station, it should be a lot easier then, right?" Ben whispered to them
"Yeah, it should be, but..." Jayce said and stopped
"But what?" Sally said
"... I smell a werewolf"
"..." Silence descended on them
"... A what?" Sally asked
"You heard me the first time!" Jayce yelled in a whisper
Hearing that, they all looked at the two teenage boys in front of them with unfathomable expressions.
Meanwhile, in front of them...
"Hey, what's wrong, why do you look like that?" The first guy asked, taking side glances at the other guy sitting next to him
"Jake..."
"Yeah what?" The first guy answered
"One of the kids is a werewolf"
"... Vin, are you serious right now?" Jake asked
"Yes, I can hear them, he just told the others about one of us being a werewolf" Vin replied
"Wait, if you can hear him, doesn't that mean he can hear you too?"
"Shit, I didn't think of that?"
"Sometimes, you surprise me, more than I want to be surprised. Well we're here" Jake said as he pulled over into the parking lot of the sheriff's station.
...
We were led into the station and passing by all the procedures we needed to take to actually get in the station, the first guy, whom I believed his name was, Jake, led us directly into an office, bypassing all the procedures, and the officers didn't even seem to care. We got in the office and they sat us down, while the two guys went over to a corner of the room and spoke to the officer we met in the office, just to be sure we were safe, we had Jayce listen in to their conversation
"Who are those kids?" The officer asked
"Well, we don't specifically know that yet, but we found them in the middle of the road and we brought them here, because we almost ran them over" Jake explained but his voice went a little bit lower when saying the last part
"OK, now, keys please" the officer asked putting his hand forward
"What?"
"Oh don't pretend, I know you took the van, now hand over the keys"
"But, how would I go back home?"
"That's your problem"
"Come on"
Judging from their conversation, the officer and Jake seem to be father and son.
"OK, is there anything else I should know?" The officer asked
"One of them is a werewolf" Vin, the second guy said
"Hmm, okay, but you guys are sitting through this one" he said and walked over to us.
"Hey, what's your name? And yes, I'm asking all of you"
That sounded more like an order than a question and looking at the others, I think they also got that part.
"I am Cal'" I don't think we have a choice in this so I was just honest
"Sally"
"Jayce"
"Gwen"
"Ben"
"..."
"Um... She's Lizzie" Sally said
"Okay... Now what were you guys doing in the woods when it's clearly passed curfew? don't even think about lying, the truth and nothing but the truth"
"We would like to speak to the sheriff, please?" Cal' asked politely
"You are speaking to the sheriff"
"What?" Sally couldn't help but ask
"This just got a lot worse" Ben said, he looked around the room and couldn't stop himself from asking, "Um... This might seem weird but, what year is it?"
"What do you mean, it's 2014" the sheriff answered
"2014!!" They all yelled at the same time, well apart from the last girl who has refused to talk, after yelling, they looked at each other then...
"We're dead" Ben said
"I knew it was a bad idea, I don't even know why I came with you guys, what was I thinking?" Gwen started talking to herself
"Gwen!, we're already here, it's too late for that" Sally said
"We're doomed" Ben said
"Ben, I hear your voice one more time and you'll never speak again" Sally said "But, all in all, we all know whose fault it is"
"Hold up, I clearly and vividly remember a certain person telling me 'we need to investigate' and obviously I would say yes, because I was acting on emotions" Cal' said defending himself
"Oh, you were acting on emotions, then what was I acting on, indifference?" Sally said back
"Guys, this isn't the time to blame each other, we have a serious crisis on our hands here" Gwen said shutting them up
"2014, 2014, 2014? All the way in 2014? What in the world is that supposed to mean?" Jayce said mumbling to himself
"Okay everyone just breathe" Gwen said getting up from her seat and consecutive deep breaths were heard. "Good, now let's think"
"Hold up, what's going on?"the sheriff asked
"Hold on we're trying to think" Cal' said
"What are you trying to think about? It's 2014, what's the big deal?" The sheriff asked
"It's 2014, THAT'S the big deal" Cal' said
"Okay, look kids, I am sheriff Desmond and you are going to explain whatever the hell is going on, right now or you'll spend the night in jail"
"Come on, it hasn't gotten to that- hold on, give us a sec" Cal' said and turned to the others
"I have a plan" he said
"Oh god" Ben said
" ... What?" Cal' asked
"The plan doesn't involve something that'll possibly get us killed does it?" Sally asked
"At this point isn't that a given?" He replied
"Haa, what is it?"
"Well, you see, if we could get on his nerves high enough to make him throw us in jail, we would be good, I mean, how much trouble can we possibly get into in jail?"
"Don't jinx it... But, you're not wrong, hmm I think that might work" Sally said
"So, we're doing it, aren't we?" Cal' said
"Sure, why not" Sally said
After saying that, Cal' and the others turned back to face the sheriff.
"So, are you ready to answer my questions?" He asked
"Yeah sure, Go ahead" Cal' replied
"Okay, what exactly were you guys doing in the woods?" He asked
"And like I said, camping" Sally replied
"Haa... Are you serious, we both know you're lying. Look, we're trying to help you guys, I need you to answer my questions honestly so we can send you guys back to your parents in peace. You don't want to tell us what you were doing in the woods, fine, but, we just need you to place your thumbs on this and that's it, do you think you can do that for me?"
We all remained quiet just as planned
"So you guys really just wanna spend the night in jail, huh?"
We all remained silent, until he lost his cool
"Fine then, if you really want jail, then the jail you'll have"
