A.N. So sorry I didn't upload a new chapter yesterday but (at least for me) the website wanted to be an asshole and not work.
I managed to lose the cop around the junkyard but I knew he could tell where I was going. I had to be fast. I managed to get into the woods and started digging for my life. I put in the body and took out a note I'd written earlier, and started crying while waiting for him to show up. He arrived about 5 minutes later.
"Alright, hands up!" He yelled as he got there
I did so, still crying
"Care to explain, ma'am?" He said seriously
"Well, *sniffle* I got this note today saying that Alesa was buried here" I said and handed him the note "so I decided to investigate and sure enough, here she is!"
"Okay, but why did you run away from me before?" He said, still not entirely convinced
"I thought the shovel in my bag would have seemed suspicious and I panicked. Sorry"
He put a hand on my shoulder, trying to be comforting
"It's okay, Ms. Price, this will get solved and the bad man who did this will be put in jail"
If you only knew "Okay, can I call Max?"
"Sure. I need to call backup" he then went to make calls on his radio and I called Max
"Max! We found her! She's dead" I said as soon as she picked up
"Really? Where? How?"
I could hear she was tearing up a bit and I explained my dirty lie, about the note and that she was in woods. I hated this, and I questioning if this was worth it. Max and the backup arrived later and Max and I were taken in for questioning while the body was taken in for an autopsy. Max went first, at least I could piece my story together a bit.
"So, Ms. Price, you say she was kidnapped while you two were in the park the other day?" The questioner asked
"Yes"
"And you didn't see the man who did? You guys are great parents" he said sarcastically
"Well, I looked at my phone for a minute and the next I see her being taken away by a man in a van and screaming"
"And no one else at the park saw this?"
"The park was mostly empty"
"So then today you got an anonymous note saying she was buried in the woods. Then you run away from an officer because you panicked since you had a shovel in a duffle bag seemed suspicious?"
"Yes"
"Ms. Price, I'm afraid your story doesn't make much sense. Why don't you tell the truth and we can get this all sorted out?"
"But that is the truth"
"I don't think so. If you don't, this might have go to court and you don't want that, do you?"
"Well, no"
"So, tell me the damn truth!"
"That is the truth!"
"Well, I guess we'll see what the judge has to say about that then"
