"At Rising Sun High School? We already have patrol cars dispatched to your location. Don't worry, they'll be there shortly"
That seemed too easy...crap the bad guys must have dropped the interference and it was his fiddling that make the call take to long to connect. Maybe... maybe the strange occurrences were enough for someone outside the interference ranged to call in.... How was he to know. He couldn't just ask could he? "Are you aware in addition to the shots fired one student has been abducted?"
"They were males dressed as stereo typical government agents you see in television shows all the time. But they never flashed a badge and their weapons didn't seem government issued. I wasn't a witness myself, do you want me to put the witness on the phone?" Okay that made it see more then likely the call came from outside the jamming area. The Agents made a big scene in the school when the other fled and Jared, assumingly it was Jared, was dragged away. By now everyone had probably heard about it. The rumor mill was always fast. Or was that only when the rumors were about popular kids. Was Jared popular? He was barely familiar with the student who called him out this morning.
"I said they were dressed like stereotypical TV agents. Not that they were TV agents. One moment." Bobby walked over to Lark and held out her phone for her to take back. "The operator would like to speak to you."
Lark's brow wrinkled as she took the phone. She put it to her ear, and anxiously bit her nail. "Hello?"
"Yeah, I walked by, and they were dragging him down this hallway," Lark said, hiding the fact that she was in midair at the time. "I hid, which was cowardly, but they took him away. They had these weird.. laser guns. They shot my arm, and it felt like a taser. I don't know if they were trying to kill, but it seemed more like they were trying to incapacitate us."
"It was right to protect yourself, don't worry. So you say they had 'laser guns' and they 'tased' your arm? Thank you. I'll be sure to relay that to the chief of police."
"No, but listen," Lark said, suddenly desperate to feel as if this voice on the end of the phone would take care of everything; desperate for a lack of responsibility. She knew in her heart that it wouldn't come, and she mentally chided herself for being so weak, but she continued talking. "There were these strange.. I don't even know what to call them. They looked almost like spaceships. I know that sounds silly, but I think that the boy must be in there. A storm broke, and one of them crashed." She shook her head, feeling certain that it would be disregarded. The feeling she craved did not appear, and if she had been in better condition, she might have snapped at the operator. As it was, though, she sighed slightly, pinching the bridge of her nose. She looked up at Bobby and Viktoria, and she thought quietly for a moment. "This.. doesn't feel right," she thought, "wouldn't the operator be asking more relevant questions? Like, if any students are injured?"
The sound of sirens faded in from the entrance to the school. SWAT teams began searching rooms for anything suspicious and calming students. "I can hear that the authorities have already arrived. If you don't mind, I'll hang up now. Okay?"
"Flee... I half wonder if we haven't traded one ruse for another.... Why would the operator say TV agents. She's supposed to be a professional." It really irk him that she took what he said that way. Maybe these were the real police and it was just the operator that was false, but it was hard to know who to trust right now.
"Yeah, I think we should too. We need to find Kara, and leave," Lark said, anxiously looking towards the broken window. She looked at the petrified students, and smiled gently, all the while madly wondering what to tell them.
A couple of SWAT members came into the room anD found two teachers unconscious by the door. One student kept pointing at Bobby and Lark in fear. "T-t-they... t-they attacked them." "The girl jumped through the window and lightning just came out of her arm and zapped them..." "Then the boy punched Mr. Miller in the face. His hand was all hard and black, like a rock"
Lark sighed internally, and ran through the options. "1. Tell the truth - Be taken to an unknown location by people who's status we're unsure of, or thought we are crazy. 2.Run - Doorway is blocked, window is open, Bobby and Viktoria can'r fly and we still need to find Kara. 3. Act and divert their interest elsewhere." She sighed internally, andglanced back at Bobby and Viktoria. "Play along," she mouthed, and when she turned back, her face was full of distress. Her eyes welled up with tears, and she sniffled slightly, her voice trembling. "I d-don't know what's going on. These men came in attacked the teachers, looked around and then passed this weird blue light over all of us. We ducked under our desks, but I guess they must have saw, because once they did it, our class all started looking at us like we were these bad guys." She let loose a small sob. "Please, there's no one here, but my best friend, she's in gym class, and we were t-texting during the attack, and s-she stopped, and the last thing she said was that there was a bunch of people looking around, and she thought they might have had guns. Please, they might still be there. She hasn't texted me since."
[Wait two teachers? I'm assuming they're the agents and they're telepathic, but I thought all the agents fell back. Otherwise I would have gone for one of their guns.]
[I think they were already knocked out, but the agents made the students think that they were never there, and that we did all the damage.]
[No you have to remember I've been in the room the whole time.... wait what happened to my teacher? My teacher never left the room. The students gathered around the door at one point, but it's never mentioned what the teacher did once the agents got into the room. Edit Double checked. It never mentions what my teacher is doing in all the commotion. It's never stated they left the classroom. The agents also came into a the classroom a little too easily since there were supposed to be students crowding the door. Admittingly I'm not a great role player, but I've always paid close attention to continuity.]
