A/N:Officer Pain is someone I know in real life. So is Officer Richardson. Richardson is my friend's dad the other well I just know him okay. Italics are thoughts during the conversation. Courtney, Ryan and Greg are based on real life people as well though I did change there last names. Bold is her being smart with who ever. The things I say about there being no charges when it comes to breaking and entering are true in a way I actually asked a police officer once.

Chapter Ten- Cops.

I slept all through the night and I probably would have slept all day as well if a nurse hadn't come in to wake me up. She told me I had to eat and that they would allow me to clean myself up a bit. She also placed some pajamas on the side table. I asked her where she had gotten them, having recognized them as my own. She told me my mom had brought them with her last night, just in case I needed to stay overnight, but I had gone back to sleep so fast they didn't want to wake me. I said okay and she gave me a smile with her parting words of, "There was a rag and some soap in the bathroom for me to clean up with and that I had about thirty minutes until the police got here."

I eat the gross looking oatmeal, apple sauce, and drink down the orange juice. I then quickly move the tray to the trolley in the passage outside my room. I go back grabbing my pajamas and heading to the bathroom to clean myself up a bit. I realized I only had about fifteen minutes left until the police get here. Great, just great, this is one of those times when you wished time would move at a snail's pace or even slower but instead had to move fast.

Sighing, I removed my pants and under garments. Then I realize that I might need a little help to get the rest off so I, as quickly as I can with a bad arm, pulled the new clothes on. I went back into the room and hit the call button paging the nurse. A few minutes later the same one who brought me food came back in. She smiled and asked what it was that I needed. I, embarrassed, told her I couldn't get my shirt off. She smiled warmly at me as she took my injured arm gently and moved it out of the sling. Then she took the sling off of me and told me to pull my one arm out. I did as told, she then carefully pulled my shirt over my head and down my arm, barely moving it. That was easier than I thought. I decided to save myself some dignity and just kept my bra on. She helped me put my new shirt on up the bad arm, over my head and other arm through the hole and pulled it down. Again much easier then I thought that it would be.

I smiled again and told her thanks. She smiles again told me that it was no trouble at all and asked if I needed anything else. I told her, "no thank you, I am fine." With that she left the room again. I look at the clock again, in five minutes or less the police will be here. I wondered if my mom or John knew that they were coming and one of them would be present while the police questioned me.

Exactly five minutes later my question was answered when the police came in without my mom or John anywhere in sight. I sat up on the bed, waiting for them to talk, it didn't take long. Officer one introduced himself as Officer Richardson and his partner was Officer Payne. Officer Richardson then went on to question me about yesterday while his partner was poised to write it all down. The transcript went a little something like this:

Officer Richardson- "Why were you in the house?"

Me- Guess they talked to the doctor. "We were in the house because we were dared to go into it for three hours."

Officer Richardson- "Who dared you to go into the house?"

Me- Those bratty 'cool kids'. "Courtney and Greg."

Officer Richardson- "Do they have last names?"

Me- No they don't of course they do stupid. "Yes their last names are Allison and Peters respectively sir."

Officer Richardson- "What happened while you were in the house?"

Me- Obviously we were attacked by someone or shall I say something. "Well officer we decide to look around while in there. While we were looking around upstairs a guy wearing a mask came out of one of the rooms. Jordan and I decide to lock ourselves in the nearest room which happened to be Lilly's room. Once there I called my mom and told her we needed help and to get picked up but quickly. That was all I was able to say before my battery died. Even though the door was locked it didn't stop him. He just picked the lock and came in. Jordan tried to fight him off and he pulled a knife on Jordan and cut him up. Then he came at me and I tried to fight him as well. He threw me into a wall and then started to pull viciously on my arm. I heard voices outside calling for us. I recognized one of the voices as my mom's friend John. So I started yelling for help. They must have heard me because they rushed inside and our attacker took off running. Then John and his sons came into the room and brought us to the hospital."

Officer Richardson- "Alright, we already talked to them, all except Jordan because he still hasn't woken up. Your stories all match up but you need to realize that you committed a felony, breaking and entering. You and Jordan will both be in trouble for that."

Me- Ha ha that's funny he thinks he has something on us. He's about to learn why my family says I should be a lawyer. "Actually sir, we didn't commit a felony. You see for there to be a 'breaking and entering' there has to be a victim and since the house doesn't belong to anyone, and was not occupied, then there is no victim so you can't charge us with anything."

Officer Richardson- sighing. "Um well your right about that. I guess I will be talking to you again if we have anymore questions. Thank you for your cooperation, we will be in touch."

After the officers left I lay back to rest a little, still feeling a bit tired from everything that had happened. I guess it is a good thing I learned to bite my tongue and keep some thoughts to myself. My last thoughts had been if my mom would be coming to see me. They also lingered on whether or not Jordan would wake up. I will have to be sure to ask my mom or someone if they know anything about his condition.
