*Knock, Knock, Knock*
"Who is it?"
"Police."
"Ummm….Hello.
How may I help you?
I said, 'How may I…' Hey. Hey. You can;t just barge in unannounced without telling me at least what you are doing?"
"You see her?"
"Nope."
"Not here."
"Not here."
"Not here."
"See her?"
"Who? See who? Who are you looking for?"
"She probably has a hidden room somewhere. Check for any misplaced handles, or loose dents in the walls that don't feel solid when you hit it."
"Ummm. Excuse me."
"Feels solid."
"I said, 'Excuse me.'"
"She couldn't have just vanished into thin air."
"She best not have, or else."
"EXCUSE ME!!!!!!!
........................…Thank you."
"Sorry, Where are our manners?
I am Officer Banks; and this is officer Erica; followed by officer Price.
Ruby has just vanished from prison, along with."
"Vanished?
Ruby wouldn't leave on her own."
"As we said, she had help; but we don't if it was…."
"It was definitely Henry."
"How do you know?"
"The way he was talking with the Heartchilds, earlier; I know he seemed the type of person to do everything in his power to extend his moment.
No matter how great the risks."
"Well, his risks may have cost all of us."
"I'm not dead."
"Not yet, but Majority finds out, and we are all..."
"You don't have to say it. I know.
I was there, but we were in heat before. This changes nothing now."
"What about all you worked for?
What about all everyone else worked for?
It doesn't matter who freed Ruby, whether she voluntarily chose to go, or if her Uncle forced her out. In the eyes of the Majority, what they see is what they get; and what they see will be Ruby....free...with no chains...….and no bars between her and them."
"Their is nothing to fear."
"Nothing? She has everything."
"Not everything.
She doesn't have her seed."
"Do you know where it is?"
"No.
But even if I did, I wouldn't tell you."
"Miss K, you better tell me everything you know or else if the Majority takes out the whole Community to punish us, then it all falls on your shoulder.
Spill."
"Let go of me. You're hurting me."
"I said..."
"Price, let her go.
Then go outside to calm down."
"But...but.....…but she could.....I...…UGGGGHHHHHH!!
Fine.
But I stand by what I said.
If she doesn't spill, then you'll be sorry. You'll all be sorry."
*SLAM*
".............Sorry for my colleagues aggressive behavior, but please."
"I don't know anything.
I just crashed here last night and...."
"Eauuuurrrrccccch"
"What was that?"
"Uhhh...that?"
"Eaaauuuurrrrcccccchhhh"
"That was nothing. Honest."
".....Move."
"Wait. You can't go in there.
That is Ruby's master bedroom, and I just cleaned it.
I know she would be devastated if she found you wrecking the...
Shoot."
"....Who are you?"
"Mom...…..Dad?"
"No. We're the police. We came too….."
"No. No. Stay away. I can't talk to you. Just forget you ever saw me and stay away."
