Chapter 9

Later that day Jocelyn was sat quietly in her kitchen a warm mug of tea in her hand and a magazine on the table of which she was trying to read but was distracted she couldn't get Katie out of her thoughts Jocelyn hadn't done anything all day except think about Katie she was hoping that Katie was fine and safe where ever she was she did think about going out in her truck looking for Katie but decided against after burning the note Katie had left her just in case UNIT had shown up at her door.

This also made Jocelyn worry about herself since she also couldn't stop thinking about what Katie had written in the letter that they were being watched Jocelyn considered packing a bag and leaving the house but where was her innocence in that if UNIT did come they'd be after her too! And she didn't want that so she had decided to stay put.

After she had burnt the letter Jocelyn had gone outside firstly to her backyard and then to the front of the house she couldn't help herself and wanted to see if she could see anyone but she couldn't and had gone back inside as she did she opened a few windows she was making sure that UNIT knew she was in she was not running away but she was nervous and scared about what would happen to her.

As Jocelyn thought about her situation whilst staring down at the magazine UNIT cars and trucks were driving towards the farmhouse UNIT soldiers got out of the trucks with their firearms and made their way to their position behind bushes in front and back of the house they aimed their weapons at the house.

Once they were in position all the cars behind them had stopped and in the final car a woman got out she wore a white blouse a black jacket and a skirt she also had dark glasses on. It was soon clear to anyone that she was in charge as when she passed anyone they saluted to her this was also the same woman who had questioned Katie.

Once the woman had gotten out of the car she took her glasses off and straightened her jacket she then looked around at the house and area for a moment she then gave a nod to her team to storm the house two soldiers ran around to the back door and ducked down quietly as another two ran to the front door. As the woman walked up the path and got closer both the back door and front door were kicked in at exactly the same time.

As this happened Jocelyn dropped her mug and tea spilt all over the table, she stood as soldiers barged their way into the house and began searching some went upstairs whilst Jocelyn stayed where she was in the kitchen and thought about Katie being right she was a little shaken by annoyed at them for disturbing her peace.

Once all the rooms up and downstairs had been thoroughly searched the woman in charge walked into the kitchen and looked directly at Jocelyn as tea continued to drip from the table and onto the kitchen floor they were silent for a moment.

"All clear!" Was a shout from upstairs

"Clear here too!" Was another shout from the front of the house

"So... Where is she then?"

"Who?" Jocelyn asked

The woman in charge huffed and looked inside her jacket she removed something which was a file she opened it and showed a picture to Jocelyn, who saw that it was a CCTV picture of Katie stood outside a shop and possibly looking around.

"We're looking for this person"

Jocelyn took one look at the picture of Katie and looked up at the woman

"Never seen her before in my life," Jocelyn said, lying hoping they would believe her

"That's funny because a red truck was seen in the car park not long after she was spotted on this CCTV and you drove passed" The Woman replied and brought out another picture, but it was of Jocelyn's red truck it was also a close-up of her driving.

"And I was there getting shopping doesn't mean I saw her"

"Funny, since we have proof she was heard in this house... Just yesterday right here in this very kitchen... Where I'm standing..." The Woman Said with a mean gaze she then looked away from a silent Jocelyn who was looking at her The Woman looked at the fridge behind her and opened it she saw that there was a lot of food in it.

"Well Ya not going to find her head in there," Jocelyn said nervously joking with them and thought about Katie that she was right about UNIT were watching her house.

"You seem to have quite a lot of food in for one person Miss..." The Woman looked at the paperwork she had been given in the car when arriving "Brown, expecting anyone?... Friends?... Family?... Someone you just met?... Someone on the run, perhaps?..."

An uncomfortable silence followed as Jocelyn looked at the woman.

"So, what makes you think I would be hiding this person, whatever her name is with whatever she has done in my house," Jocelyn said quickly

"At first we did not know her name but we eventually found out she's called Katie Tyler Smith and hails from a mansion that we cannot find the address of basically she doesn't exist"

"She seems real on that photograph," Jocelyn said

"Yes, she's real alright and has some valuable information that could destroy The Earth and we also have reason to believe she was involved in a car crash which led to people's deaths"

"Well, I'm sorry for their losses but I don't know her! Like I said I've never seen her before in my life!" Jocelyn replied, knowing there was more to the story but a UNIT soldier approached The woman from behind and whispered in her ear

"Ma'am, we have a critical situation..." The Solider said, but The woman looked from him to Jocelyn

"All right Miss Brown" The woman in charge put her dark glasses back on turned around and walked towards the front door Jocelyn watched her

"We're taking her in," The Woman said

As these words were spoken two soldiers grabbed Jocelyn forcing her arms behind her back and handcuffed her.

"Oi! What you doing!... I've told you I don't know her!" Jocelyn shouted as she struggled against them as she was taken out of the back door of the house and around to the front.

When she got to the front she saw all the UNIT cars including a black van parked nearby one of the men that had come from it was now speaking to The Woman in charge. Jocelyn was shocked at this because she had passed the very same van yesterday which looked like it had broken down with the blonde hair man looking at it Jocelyn was handled into another van.
