When Tom opened his eyes, he found himself looking at a bright white light.
“What happened? Where are we?” Tom asked, looking around to see Kai. “Where is Gary?”
“Who knows?” Innu shrugged his shoulders. “We followed you hoping to find him, but instead we nearly lost our lives. Do you have any idea how often I nearly died today?!”
On further inspection, Tom realised that he and his schoolmates were in what looked like a police station. He could see several criminals coming in and out, and people in uniform busy with work, despite the late hour.
Sitting next to him was Innu, Marie, and Xin. Innu looked quite pissed as he recalled his experience, but he seemed to know that blaming Tom wouldn't do anything. Marie was still recovering from her shock and someone seemed to have given her some hot chocolate to calm her nerves. Xin seemed nervous as she looked down and fiddled with her hands, making sure not to make eye contact with anyone.
A little while later, Kai came out from one of the offices.
“Good news, everyone. We're free to go home, and the police are even nice enough to give us a lift since it's so late. Probably also to avoid us meeting with whatever was in the park.”
“Wait, so we don't all have to give reports on what happened?” Xin asked, looking relieved.
Placing the baton's away, he pulled out a short sword holding it in one hand. He carefully used the weapon to turn the human body over, wishing to imprint the face of his first kill into his mind.
'... G-Gary?!'
