《The Midnight Man》Chapter 14 - The Officer
Advertisement
Soon the police showed up and there were hundreds of people gathered around May, listening closely to her insane story of Sam and the orphanage. Two police officers pushed past the crowd and started to listen in to the story. By the end, no one knew what to do.
"Well..." One police officer started, looking at the officer with a blue hat
"Why don't we take you for a quick ride to the station and we can get you the help you seem to need," The officer with a blue hat said, gesturing towards the shiny blue and white car behind him.
"The help I seem to need?" May repeated.
"Yeah, you know... We can get you a doctor and maybe a nice room in the-"
"A doctor? What's that supposed to mean?? I need the army! A SWAT team! I need the best of the best to get rid of these demons! Why would I need a doctor? And a room where?"
"I think you would benefit from a room in the..." The blue-hat officer looked at his partner to finish the sentence. When it became clear that no one else was going to say it, he looked at the ground and sighed, "The mental hospital." He said quietly. May gasped
"THE MENTAL HOSPITAL??!! NO WAY! IM NOT GOING THERE! I DON'T NEED TO GO THERE! IM FINE!" She screamed, turning to walk away. One officer grabbed her hand as the other opened the car door.
"You don't exactly have a choice," He said. His tone had changed. He had a deep voice and he spoke with such power that it sent shivers down May's spine. Suddenly, he pulled her backwards, making her lose her balance and fall into the car. The officers closed and locked the doors, before getting into the front seats. Except, only one officer got in. The one with the blue hat.

"Weren't there two of you?" May asked nervously
"Someone needed to stay behind and assure the citizens that you're okay." He put simply.
"But I'm not fine. They're coming! They'll find me! They'll kill me! And they'll kill you too!" She exclaimed.

Now all of a sudden he’s getting invited to parties, his psychiatrist’s started dating his Mom, and at least two different international organisations are trying to hunt him down. Then there’s Ali--the new girl at school, the only other person who believes any of this is happening to him, who seems to be hiding a secret of her own. Is she really his friend like she says she is, or does she have some sort of ulterior motive for being so nice to him all the time? Should he tell her about Miracle Force, the superpowered United Nations peacekeeping unit he’s just been recruited to?
