That one glance was all I needed to know that I had to get out of here now. I ducked back right away behind the tree before I was spotted by anyone else. When no one was looking, that was when I would run, but for now my best choice was to stay put. Making sure they couldn't see me, I continued to silently listen, to see if the foolish cop would say anything to the others beside him. One of the older police officers chuckled while staring at the one who spotted me "what are you thinking of john, you look like you just saw a ghost." john replied quietly," just thinking of my wife, sorry sir." the older officer spoke sadly to john, "your wife was an honourable officer, she died what she loved doing best, helping make the world a better place. The one named john just nodded. In the corner of my vision, I saw him watching me again. "If it's alright with you, may I please go home for the night," john said solemnly. The oldest nodded, "you may be dismissed, we can handle this case." john walked to where I was hiding and murmured softly," I know you are there, please come with me." I knew it would be pointless to argue so I followed crotchety. Together we walked to his ancient police cruiser.
