3. Digging for the Truth

? POV

I saw them. I saw her look. I heard her muffled shouting. I saw the car stop. I ran.

Jackie POV

"She was here just a minute ago, you saw her didn't you Crash?"

"Saw who? Who is her?" Crash asked.

"So you didn't" Elaine huffed, "Who Jackie?"

"It was a girl, blonde hair, she was sitting on the side of the road, she was crying!" I desperately explained. Suddenly we all saw a head peer round the corner of a bush. A head with blonde hair, "Her"

The girl looked terrified, wondering whether she should run again, or not. She decided not to.

"It's alright, we won't hurt you, just tell us your name and we can help you." Elaine promised.

"I... I'm Tee." She stammered.

"Tee, Tee what?" I gently asked.

"Taylor. Please help me, I spilt some juice on Keith's new jacket by accident and he's hurting Johnny!" She cried.

"Tee can you come with me sweetie, you need to take me to your house where we can give the police a call." Elaine explained.

"I don't want you to waste your time." Tee pleaded.

"I want to, I'm a social worker and I've got lots of space if you need somewhere where you can be looked after properly." Elaine persuaded.

"O...okay." Tee agreed.

"Hang on a minute, what about us?" Crash asked.

"Well, the College is only around the corner so you can walk." Elaine said, getting our stuff out of the car then helping Tee in.

"It's not 'only around the corner' it's ten miles away from here!" Crash protested as Jackie started picking up her stuff, but Elaine had already got into the Painmobile and left.

"Great!" Crash sarcastically reacted.

"C'mon, we may as well start." Jackie.

"It'll take us all day, maybe even two days!"

"Well then we blame Elaine don't we!" Jackie huffed.

"Yeah, and everybody is gonna believe two sixteen year olds, get real Jackie." Crash pointed out.

"Well, at least there's more chance of us getting there on time if we start now." Jackie argued.

"But-" Crash started.

"JUST STOP WHINING AND START WALKING!" Jackie ordered. Crash huffed, picking up his bags.

Back at Elmtree House

Sapphire POV

The doorbell rang not much later than Jackie and Crash had left. No one seemed to be going to answer it.

"Is anyone gonna answer the door? No? Alright I'll do it then you slave drivers!" I belowed.

I opened the door to be confronted by Elaine the Pain and what looked like two new residents, one of which looked like a bit of a suck up."

"Sapphire"

"Elaine" I greeted through gritted teeth, "That was quick"

"Can you move out of the way, I need to speak to Mike."

"Why?" I asked

"Just let me in"

"No, not until you tell me why." I argued.

"You don't need to know."

"Is this suck up coming to live here?" I asked. Then, something unexpected happened. He shoved me over, the girl trying to punch me before Elaine got involved.

"I am not this suck up you frizzy haired freak!" Suck Up shouted.

"Ooo, is Suck Up getting upset, shall we fetch his dummy. Why are you crying dear, is it because you're a Big Baby as well as Suck Up." I teased before he shoved me and ran upstairs the girl following close behind.

"They were Johnny and Tee, our new arrivals, now go and sit in the quiet room and don't leave until I say!" Elaine shouted, trying to sound strict, and failing.

"Whatever" I muttered, heading to my room.

Johnny POV

I ran upstairs. I never expected this place to be nice, but not horrible. Why would anybody be a Suck Up to that old bat of a social worker.

Exactly, who would be.
