~Present~

   I took another step back. "Let him go..." My voice wavered.
   "The officer says go inside with him. Act calm. It's okay Fresh. I promise…." Error whispered but he sounded almost as stressed as I felt.
   "O-Okay… I'll come inside..." I muttered shakily.
   "Wonderful!" he was right in front of me. He grabbed my arm firmly and led me inside.
   I didn't squirm mostly out of fear. He sat me down on the couch next to Deccy. "Here's your little friend Faris!"
   Deccy looked terrible. He had this far away look in his eyes and he eas trembling. His sickness was obviously beating him up but he wasn't physically injured.
   "You two stay here and I'll make tea. You won't leave? Will you Faris?"
   I shook my head quickly in response.
   That seemed like enough as he left towards the kitchen.
   "Fresh… D-did he really do all that to you?" Deccy's voice trembled.
   I didn't respond. I prayed for a response of what to do to get out.
   "The officer says Grab Dec and get out if you can."
   I didn't need to be told twice.
   I grabbed Dec's arm and tried to sneak to the door as possible. I turned the knob and winced as the door creaked. There was a clatter in the kitchen.
   "RUN!" I shouted, yanking the door open and bolting out the door making sure Dec was in front of me. And then I was yanked back by my hood.
   "Fresh!!!" Deccy yelled.
   I could hear screaming in my ear but couldn't make out words. I devolved into a screaming pile of bones in his arms as I tried to wriggle loose.
   There was a sharp ringing and a flash of red and blue. And then everything was gone again.
