Chapter 141 - The Aunt - I
Like it dutiful parent or guardian in this case Tessa was standing at the bus station half an hour early waiting for adaline to arrive with the rest of her group.She wanted to surprise the girls because of which she had it skills her presents from school for the next day so that she could get away arrested before moving on full stop in return Tessa only expected adaline to come back with the healthier and more relaxed mind so that they could get on with therapy.
Approaching Adaline about such a subject was die approaching a deer with the hand that contained a large butcher's knife.
??But only to her surprise and soon coming heart attack adaline did not arrive in the bus. In fact the bus did not arise rather it was a whole police motorgade coming in.
Several vans and cars of police arrivalong with paramedics. Tesaa immediately got out of the car wondering what happened that before the bus the police had arrived.
"Excuse me?" She walked to a police officer, "Is everything. . .?"
"Are apparent regarding the trip taken to the the mountains in the adjacent state?" He sad in the professional voice of a policeman and Tesla could feel the hair stand on the back of the neck. Her heart has started to pound even harder than before.
"Ye-yeah," she cleared her throat, "I'm Tessa woods, Adeline Woods legal guardian."
The officer tilted his head as he spoke into the microphone kept on the shoulder. "Do we have a girl named Adeline Woods?"
Some voice came out and Tessa could barely make a word out of it for stop it was a static and tackled and she could not even understand one word out of it no matter how much he paid attention to it.
Signal and just watch the face of the policeman who was listening in. Even try to make out of his expression but it was neither happy nor sad. He kept his professional face on.
"Ma'am," he said and Tessa straightened her back.
"Yes?" She whispered back on the verge of crying. What was happening?
"They had been a group of children aged from 16 to 22 that had gone a hike to the neighbouring state in the mountains. There has been a mass murder. They are not sure of the cores yet but there are three people missing from it and one of them is your ward."
"Mass mu-murder?" She stumbled back and almost fell down but the officers table har.
"Please, ma'am. Take care of yourself." He gave her the barest hint of a smile on his lips. It hardly stretched a bit to upwards.
"What happened." She did not ask him she said it. She said it to more herself as an what could have possibly happened for someone to come at a mass murder. "How were they all killed?"
He shook his head. "We do not know, ma'am. But as the victims guardian we would be obligated to tell you what happened. All we know for now is there was no physical injury to anyone. So it must have been something in the food.."
She gulped. "Where is Adeline?" Her frantic eyes searched for the area around her. "What she had? Did you find anything regarding her? She could have been dragged to the Jungle for all you know. Did you check there?"
He nodded. "Yes ma'am, we did. Batua guards were careful enough to make sure to check in with the in down stairs and forest station time and again to make sure that everyone was alright. But when they did not they went ahead to check. All and all all of them except for three people were nowhere to be found."
"Not even the Jungle?" She whispered like a broken record. May be added in could have been scared and ran into the Jungle to save herself and find some shelter. Maybe for all they knew she was still there.
"We did ma'am," he sighed and lowered his eyes. " The informed us about it Saturday night. The have tried to search for the free missing people all Sunday morning and evening. Even in the forest we had search with the townspeople and we came up with nothing first of the search is continued but for now I only have this information for you."
Tessa tuned him out after that. He could not ask for anything else other than some stick information that would do nothing for her. She watched as the parents came around and only to find that children gone there weeping and howling at the officers as well. Everyone wanted to know what was going on and none of them knew the cause of their children's death.
She wanted to drive down to the forest herself and make sure that I am in a safe and sound in back into the car. Should not understand how it was added and that was actually missing but relieved that there was still a possibility that she was actually realise and breathing and may be safe too.
She gulped and turned to the officer. "What . . What about the in. ." She closed her eyes and side tightly. She did not know how to proceed hair fall stop it was her worst nightmare coming true.
"We know everything about Ms Woods. Which is y if any information is received in her matter we would be informing us the first person. We have gather your number and house address from the details fill in the form."
The form, he talked about, was filled by everyone to make sure that they had the correct details of the children going along. It had their address and phone numbers for any emergency contact necessary.
She nodded and walked back to her car after providing him with her personal number as well. There was nothing else she could do and watching the parents how and yell at the police when did not help her either. Should not want to act like that because that would get her nowhere.
She drive home.
