The Altered Investigation Force, more commonly referred to as White Rose, was one of the most well known police forces Gary had seen them mentioned multiple times on the news and for more reasons than one, but theht outrun a normal hu that ht seem beyond what a human could do, they’ll think I’ate how I becaht

Sadie Ni the apart for a while now They were currently supposed to be working on a different case Earlier this week, in what they assu, three bodies had been uncovered that appear to have been killed by an Altered

The reason why they were staking out Billy’s apartment was due to the condition of their respective corpses They see theht also be due to an Altered They had yet to determine whether it was the same killer as in their case, or another unreported Altered who had gone rogue

“I’h is on the news I sorta came here to see what all the fuss was about It just seemed like a cool idea to be where all the action was Now that I say it out loud, I don’t actually knohat I was expecting” Gary tried to explain, praying that they would take hier

“So what if you’re a teenager The suspect shouldn’t be that much older than you Come on, now that you knoe are, just spill the beans and tell us what you know!” Sandie aggressively de soers doesn’t ht?” Frank tried to calm his partner down It was obvious to Gary that the two of theame of Good Cop - Bad Cop, not that he would dare to call the, what’s with the hood? If you really wanted to check things out, ould you try to sneak away after seeing the reporters?” Frank asked with a friendly sh schooler out on his contradiction

Since Frank was the Good Cop, Gary quickly grasped that he would be his answer to get out of his er’ act seemed to have failed, but he was sure there was one way to convince theht, before he slowly then pulled down his hood revealing his bright green hair

“I… I had hter than I wanted Once I saw the reporters I got scared that I could get interviewed It’s already bad enough thatets shown on TV… yeah, I would never live it down”

“I swear, I was only her because I was curious Me and that Billy guy, we don’t even go to the same school First ti a ‘Scout’s honor’ sign, even though he had never been part of the to hold in his laughter after seeing Gary’s hair, with his explanation it certainly sounded like a ‘tragic tale’

“Oh really, what school do you go to and what’s your naly not fully convinced yet

“Westbridge, Gary Dem, Ma’am” Gary answered immediately “You can check at the school”

There was an odd stare that just wouldn’t go away and Sandie was still holding onto Gary’s hand A few seconds passed, before she finally let go

“Get out of here! A stupid kid like you shouldn’t hang around criain, I’ll personally bring you in for questioning!” Sandie threatened, and Gary quickly ran off, thanking his lucky stars that he had just escaped a close call

“Why did you let hio?” Frank asked “

“Well you heard hio to the same school, but for soh about it Do kids really pay attention to what’s on the news these days?”

“Perhaps I’ too cautious, it was a death that happened in the neighbourhood so maybe he did know about it, but just in case take a note of the kid’s na Billy to them, we should pay him another visit at some point”

‘damn it, what do I do now? That woman made it abundantly clear that if they ever see ht have been, it will just make matters worse’
