"Can you tell me about the people you told me about?"
"The old man... I er... I don't know how to describe him, I mean-"
"What about the other one, the one we brought with you?"
"Beth? She's changed, that year away has changed her in a way we'll never know."
"Beth? do you mean Beth Washington? Was she with the one you thought was stalking you?"
"Well, yeah-"
"Is it possible that she could have killed him?"
"What? No, no you don't underst-"
"If he kidnapped her-"
"He saved her life and kept her alive for a year, while you sat on your asses, and we watched him die."

Room 2
"He held it right up to my face... right here, right in front of my nose, and he could have shot me, the prick! And than Beth, that bitch! decided to knock the gun out of his hand when she could have prevented the whole thing by saying something sooner."

Police interview
Room 4
The last victim from that night looks around the room. Taking in the simple stone walls, two chairs and the table. On the table is a recorder, and while I occupy one chair the girl occupies the other.
The other teens have already had their questioning done, and the Washington boy is meeting with his psychologist. The girl's fingers twitch at her side, appearing to reach for something only to remember everything was taken from her person upon her retrieval.
The girl is the youngest Washington, Beth.
"Can I offer you anything? A glass of water, some coffee?"
"Where's Snowflake?"
"Snowflake?"
"My wolf, where is Snowflake?"
"The wolf is being looked over, and than will be transported to an animal sanctuary."
"I have nothing to say than."
"I'm sorry?"
"I won't say anything without Snowflake."
True to her word she remains silent. I exit the room to request the wolf be brought in fully restrained. I continue trying to get some answers, but she remains silent.
A few moments later, two officers come in with the wolf in question in a thick leather collar with two different chains and a muzzle. Beth stands up and goes to her knees tapping them saying come, softly.
The wolf fights against the chain, and Beth goes to undo the chain and muzzle, receiving licks and nuzzles. The wolf follows her back to the seat and rests it's head on her lap.
The two new officers don't leave the room.
"Fine, ask what you want."
"What happened when you went after your sister, Hannah? They said you never returned."
"That's right, FG prevented me from getting close to the thing he was hunting. After that, I choose not to return to the lodge until I could find my twin, and decided to join FG."
"FG, are those his initials? Was he the stranger that has been stalking the mountain?"
"Stalking is a strong word, I prefer patrolling. And he never did tell me his name, so I've just been calling him Flamethrower Guy, FG for short."
"What about the wolf? why is it so important?"
"First off, their name is Snowflake, and they're like a comfort animal, gave me some form of normalcy. There use to be another, but something happened."
"What were you forced to do during your captivity?"
"Captivity? Did you really just call what I have been through Captivity?" She stands up, the wolf moving their head just in time to avoid a collision with the table. "I have been through a hell that I could have left at any time, but I didn't because what happened was torture if you had to do it alone, so just by me being there and helping where I could, it was just a little more bearable."
She sits back down. "As for what I had to do, that's none of your business."
"It has been known to help to talk about traumatic experiences with an-"
"I don't need to talk to a ''professional'', my brother has been seeing them since he was 11, and after what I saw in the mines, they did jack shit to help him. So if you think that I'll be seeing one you're out of your god damn mind."
After the questioning the teens are able to leave, and Beth goes hunting for her brother. At her side Snowflake walks by her side, collar, leash, and muzzle back in place.
Every once in awhile, the wolf's tongue will stick out, or they'll stop to scratch at the collar. once she finds the room the officer directed to she ignores the sign 'Session in Progress' and marches in.
Josh, who was sitting on the couch with his head in his hands, was caught in the middle of recounting his thought process, and the psychologist looks up at her. "Excuse me, we are in the middle of something, would you please wait outside."
"No." and she sits down next to her brother.
Josh finally removes his head from his hands, and looks at his baby sister, moving the hand on her side to drift to her face. "Are you really here?"
"Yeah bro, I'm here, and I promise, I'm not going anywhere."
A/N I know that I said that this would be the last chapter, but if any of my loyal readers have any suggestions for chapters that they would like to read such as: Family reunion, going further into into the journal entries, getting reintroduced to society, ANYTHING! I'll try to do it.
