A/N: HEY ALL! N2COOL HERE! SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT. IT WAS FINALLY MY TURN TO WRITE A CHAPTER AND I HIT WRITER'S BLOCK FOR A BIT. ANYWAYS, ON WITH THE CHAPTER!
Soon after recounting his experience, Aqualad found himself in another dilemma. The police.
With no witnesses and himself being the only one present at the scene of the crime, he was sure to become a suspect, and the only one at that.
It was only a matter of time before they would show up at the door…
Before long, sirens could be heard just around the corner, breaking the silence down the city streets.
Aqualad stared in horror as a squadron of vehicles encircled him, cops of
every size and color emerged from their vehicles, and no sooner did they
arrive, were they ready to strike.
"Aqualad," one spoke through a megaphone, "You are under arrest for kidnapping!"
Aqualad struggled to regain his composure. He knew he didn't kidnap the Titans, or whatever it was the mystery woman did to them. But why fight back? He would only confirm Jump City's suspicions by resisting arrest.
So he walked out of the building, hands above his head, his head bowed in shame.
The cops were off, Aqualad in the back of the very last car. He dared not look out the window, for he knew that if any were to see him in the back of a police car, handcuffed and hopeless, the world would turn on him.
And he couldn't allow that.
Time Elapses
After an extensive search of Titans Tower, they found smoke residue,
pertaining to any type of smoke bomb, though most likely one that brings about sleep.
But they had yet enough time to sample all of Titans Tower.
And as time ticked on, so did Aqualad's chances of being cleared.
As did the odds of finding the Titans alive.
