Author's Note: Okay, this is finally getting good, so I'll just let you guys read the chapter.
Lunchtime. Craig Manning was standing outside the schoolyard with a group of about 20 cops. They were ready to arrest the one person that they knew shot Craig. All they had to do is just wait for them to come outside.
Emma suddenly ran outside and suddenly stopped when she saw the group of cops.
"Gentlemen, it's time to arrest my shooter."
The cops looked at each other. "Kid," one of them said. "We're arresting the person that owned the gun right now."
Craig turned to them. "The gun?!? Where did you find the gun?"
"It was in the bushes behind your school."
Craig thought back to the shooting and remembered seeing Emma toss the gun into the bushes. That made his question who owned the gun.
Suddenly, two cops dragged Mr. Simpson out of the school. He was handcuffed and pleading to the cops. "I'm innocent I tell you! I haven't seen that gun in days!"
The cop got mad and slammed him in the back of the head with his baton. "Quiet. That gun was registered to you."
"But I'm innocent! Ask anyone!"
Emma looked towards her step dad and sighed. She couldn't come clean now. She should, but if her step dad knew that she had shot Craig, she's be sent to an all girls boarding school. She would never want that, so all she could do was watch the cops drag Mr. Simpson away.
"Emma, please!!! Tell the cops I didn't do it! You know I'm innocent!"
Emma just looked at Mr. Simpson sadly. She knew this was for the best.
"EMMA!!!!!" Mr. Simpson yelled her name as much as he could before he was forcefully shoved into the cop car.
The cops all nodded at each other as they piled back into their police cars.
"Wait!" Craig yelled. "You've got the wrong person!"
The last cop standing, the sergeant laughed. "Kid, that is what the gun registry is for; to catch criminals by who their gun is licensed to. Most of the time it works like a charm."
"But that doesn't make sense!" Craig yelled.
The sergeant laughed again as he pulled himself in the cop car and drove off as every other cop followed him.
Craig sighed as he turned to Emma. "See what you have done?!? Thanks to you, Mr. Simpson is being arrested over your crime!"
Emma shrugged. "He shouldn't have licensed his gun." She was about to go inside but Craig ran up and grabbed her arm as hard as he could.
"Emma, you have to confess. Both you know and I know that you did this. You must confess!"
"I don't have to do any…Ouch!!! Craig you're really hurting me!"
He lessened his grip a little bit. "Emma, you have to free Mr. Simpson. You have to come forward."
"I thought we both agreed we weren't going to tell anyone."
Craig froze. "I thought that was a dream."
"Nope Craig not all of it." Emma pulled her arm out of Craig's grip.
"What do you mean?" he asked. But by that time, Emma had run into the school.
Craig decided to just give up on her and go to the basketball court. He was in the mood for some serious b-ball.
Meanwhile, the same person that was watching Emma and her friends during first block was sitting on the side of the school behind a tree. Well Emma, you have escaped this time. Next time however you won't be so lucky. That person then stood up and went back into the school.
