||Chapter 16: Questions||
Theodore admired the new plant Adelle bout today for the yard, a sunflower and had bought a dozen.
". . . Right this way."
Voices?
Robert came in,"Hey Kiddo, remember?", Theodore nods,"They'll be asking some questions, you have a right to not answer anything you don't want to.", Theodore nods, Adelle placed the sunflower on the windowsill as people came in.
Two cops, The Family Doctor and Theodore's Therapist; All dressed casually to not make Theodore feel scared or pressured.
"Now. . . We just wanna ask a few questions, we won't take much of your time or your parents and it's just to help us, help you amd your family; Your side of the story is very important."
Lisa listened from outside the doorway, sitting on the floor and ready to write things down.
"Now. . . Theodore, we've looked at your drawings which are amazing by the way, you're very talented and. . . We wanted to ask about this one."
The officer held the Shadow figure drawing out,"This drawing here.", Theodore nods, his therapist cleared his throat,"We've noted your drawings seems to represent people, does this person represent someone you know and or heard that night?", Theodore looked at him and then the drawing.
. . .
"I. . . Maybe. . ."
The cop's partner raised his eyebrows, the Chief nods,"You think?", "I. . . Before, I fell asleep, I had this. . . My head. . . Hurt a lot, and. . . I think, someone was behind me. . . I don't know who. . .", Theodore looked at his hand,"I don't. . . I don't know how much you take for granted, I am not reliable. . .", Adelle gave his hand a squeeze,"It's okay, we're looking at all options.", Theodore nods, they put the picture down and turned to him,"Now. . . Do you, if I may ask this, do you know why you went up there?", Theodore grimaced, trying to recall it,"Uhm. . . I. . . Uh. . . . Think someone told me to.", "Someone told you to?", "Yeah and. . . Franklin found out, and came with me to protect me. . .", his wavered at the end, unable to remember exactly as his head felt all foggy and mushed,"That's okay but. . . If you had to pick your pictures, who would have told you to go up there?", he looked at the pictures; The Witch, Skeleton, Astronaut and Ninja.
He pointed to the Skeleton,"I see. . .", makes sense, it was the most mutated out of them the four of them.
"And, Theodore do you remember. . . This place?"
He held a picture of the Catacombs, Theodore looked at it.
"I. . . Hard to say, the Catacombs. . . Any pictures looks all the same."
"That is fair and true, but. . . Do you remember anything from the Catacombs?"
"Uhm. . ."
Theodore tired to think. . .
"Uhm. . . I remember Franklin grabbing a pipe. . ."
"A pipe? Possibly to defend himself and you?"
"Yeah uh. . . A light?"
Robert cleared his throat,"We spoke about this before, Theodore talks a little about some purple light that shot from the ground, but upon finding him and Franklin I hadn't found anything.", The Chief wrote it down,"Mhm. . .", Theodore nods,"Yeah, it's why I don't. . . Think I'm. . . Reliable if I can't remember and, if my dreams are clashing with. . .", The Therapist patted his head,"It's okay. Anything helps.", Theodore nods.

"So what's this about the shadow?"
The Chief spoke with Robert, Adelle and his therapist outside, Theodore showing his partner some less scary drawings like roller-coasters.
"We believe someone else was in there."
. . .
Lisa listened intently,"The blow to the back of your son's head, could have only been possible if done by an adult.", Adelle's eyes narrowed,"Someone else was there.", the Chief nods,"So, right now it's figuring out who else was up there and this adult would have had access to the Weather Station, the Catacombs and either knew about this ambush attack or took the opportunity.", Lisa looked back at her notes.
An adult, someone else was in there??!
