Right when me and Jimmy got home, someone called my phone.
"Who's this?" I showed Jimmy my phone screen, and he shrugged. I clicked answer.
"Hello?" I said.
"Is this Malina...uh, McCullough?" A voice asked.
"This is she." I said, raising an eyebrow.
"Okay, my name is Officer McDermott, do you mind coming to the police station right across Rockefeller? We need to talk, immediately."
I raised an eyebrow, confused. Officer McDermott sounded as if there was something serious. Well, duh. I guess there was.
"Um, okay. Thanks." I said, and hung up. I looked at Jimmy.
"An officer wants us to go to the station," I said, annoyance showing in my voice.
Jimmy rolled his eyes, annoyed too. I grabbed my keys from the kitchen table, and we left.
2 hours earlier...
When we got to the police station, me and Jimmy nervously walked in. An officer with slick brown hair noticed us, and stood up from his chair.
"Are you Malina McCullough?" The officer asked, I nodded. He gestured me and Jimmy to go into a private room.
"Could you come in, Malina?" Officer McDermott asked. I nodded, and walked in. I sat in the undersized chair, and took a nervous breath.
"Okay, so I need to tell you something really serious." Officer McDermott said, and folded his hands.
"...Yeah?" I said nervously.
"The man who abducted you is...on the loose." Officer McDermott's words flowed in my mind. My heart dropped to my stomach, and my jaw dropped. He was...on the loose?
"Me and the other police officers are on a search warrant, and you have absolutely nothing to worry about." Officer McDermott assured me. "Some time this week, we are going to bring you in for an interview about when you were abducted. Have a nice day, Ms. McCullough."
I nervously got up from my chair, and hurried out the room, passing Jimmy.
"Malina?" Jimmy asked. I stopped, and looked back. "What's going on?"
"He's on the loose..." I muttered.
"Your kidnapper?" I slightly nodded, and Jimmy's eyes widened. We're never going to get a hiatus, are we?
We climbed back in the car, and headed home. I was zoning out. "Are you okay?" Jimmy asked.
I didn't answer, I was too zoned out to answer.
Jimmy waved a hand in front of my face. "Helloooo? Earth to Malina?"
I let out a chuckle once I zoned in.
Halfway through the ride back to my house, I felt sick to my stomach.
"Pull over." I said, my hand on the door handle. Jimmy looked at me with a concerned face, and pulled over. I hurried out of the car, and let it out all over the grass. I have nervous system issues, if I get too nervous, I get nauseous.
Then, I saw a shadow right behind one of the trees. I heard the car door open, and Jimmy stood next to me. By the look on his face, I could tell he was seeing what I was seeing.
