Ben's POV

It didn't take long for the police to arrive. I called my dad telling him what happened and asking him to tell Tory's dad. He said they would be there in just a few minutes. I then sat down next to Tory on the edge of a small flower bed.

"You ok?" I asked knowing neither of us could really be classified as "ok"

"Did you see her?" she asked quietly.

"Yeah."

"It looked like…" I cut her off knowing she was going to say Hannah (Hannah Wythe went to our school and eventually tried to kill us.)

"I know, but she's been in Columbia since… you know."

"I have a really bad feeling about this Ben." She said. Without thinking I put my arm around her shoulders.

"Well, you've always got the Virals we've got your back, no matter what." She leaned her head onto my shoulder, making my heart flop around in my chest like a suffocating fish.

"Thanks Ben." She said. We sat in silence for a few moments until an officer came around the corner Tory lifted her head and I dropped my arm.

"So you two are the kids that found the body?" The officer said we nodded. The man was about 20 something 5'9" with brown hair and eyes, slightly plump with a mustache that looked really odd on a babyish face.

"We're goina' need you to come with us."

"What'd you do this time Ben?" my dad's voice came from behind me. Tory and I both turned to see both our dads and… Shelton?

"Can't go five minutes without someone having to call the police on you, can you?" Shelton asked, always being the Jiminy Cricket voice of the group, Shelton was generally the one who insisted that doing the many things that tend to get us into trouble is a bad idea. Yet I don't think it has ever really deterred Tory and if Tory was in the rest of us were sure to follow suit. Not that we were always particularly happy about it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked

"You called me remember." My dad answered. I rolled my eyes.

"Not you." I pointed at my dad "him." I pointed at Shelton

"How could I not come? I can't risk you having even more fun without me." He said although the last word I would use to describe the night's events was fun I just shook my head and turned back to the officer.

"We just need to ask them a few questions about the find." He said.

"What is it that they've found?" Tory's dad asked.

"A corpse. From the looks of it, a young woman." The officer answered.

Shelton's eyes widened as if to say another one!

"You must be their parents. We just need them to answer a few questions for us." the officer said.

"Do they have to go to a police satiation to answer a few questions?" Shelton asked.

"Well no not really but I didn't think they wanted to be here too much longer." The officer said. "If you would like, you can follow me to the station and we'll get this over with as quickly as possible." I turned to Tory who looked almost ghostly in the moon light she nodded.

"Ok." I said. With that we loaded into Mr. Brenan's car and on the ride I recounted the find, Tory added things in every once in a while, but she seemed distracted, lost in thought. I wished that I could read her mind like she could mine. (Yeah none of us really know how that works but it does get kinda weird especially when I think about how I feel about her and have to pray that she didn't hear it.) I could tell Shelton was bursting with questions and since he wasn't asking them I assumed that they had to do with our abilities we would have to fill him and Hi in in the bunker where it was safe. When we got to the station Tory and I were led to a small office, Tory's dad wanted to come in too but tory insisted it was fine and he eventually just left and sat with my dad and Shelton in the waiting room.

"So what are your names?" the officer asked closing the door.

"Tory." She said bluntly without much attention.

"Ben" I said

"And how long have you too been dating?"

"What!"

"We aren't!" Tory and I said in unison.

"Oh come on now it ain't nothin' to get all worked up about. It's pretty obvious what you were doing out there."

"We weren't… we aren't together." Tory said making my heart drop a little. Well she's telling the truth we aren't together. I thought well maybe you should fix that. UGGH I'm going insane! I'm arguing with my own thoughts, why did tory have to do this kind of thing to me? the officer held up his hands in surrender

"Ok, whatever you say." He said not really believing it. "Then what were you doing when you found the body?" the officer asked and we told him the same thing we told our dads. How tory caught a whiff of the decomposition (carefully leaving out that she had a superhuman since of smell at the time) and how we found the body in the cart. He asked a couple more things and then let us go.

It was a really long way to the complex by car most of the way was silent I looked over at Tory as she stared out into the night moonlight illuminating her emerald eyes and highlighting her pail skin. I was broken out of my trance with Shelton's elbow in my rib cage. I looked down to see 2 new messages one from Hi saying

What the hell dude! Can't leave you alone for five minutes.

And the other from Shelton.

Drop the longing gaze prince charming you're attracting the king's attention.

Sure enough I looked up to see Mr. Brenan glancing at me in the rear view mirror. I typed a message back.

Shut it Shellfish.

He shook his head at me. It seemed the only one who didn't notice my crush on Tory was… well… Tory.

That seems like a good stopping point. What do you think? Review for more and I'll try and post again a.s.a.p. unfortunately coming to the end of the semester I don't have as much time as I would like. I'll do my best as long as you guys keep up with the reviews.

THANK YOU SO MUCH
