Annie frowned. The officer was adopted too? Did she understand? It seemed like it was over, for now. Detectives Isabella and Gold began to wrap up their investigation and leave. [color=f7976a]"Okay. Okay, I won't hesitate. Goodbye. Thanks for...coming?"[/color] She wasn't really sure what the polite way to bid a pair of officers ado was. She looked over at Doug and then back at the detectives.

She stood up and began to follow them out, not pressuring them but sort of acting as a barrier into the rest of the house that was slowly closing as the two made their way close to the door. She waved one last time and then closed it behind them, locking the door. Annie exhaled a breath she hadn't realised she'd been holding. That was stressful. Hopefully she could put the whole thing behind her. Now it was off to college.

...

Annie went over to the blinds and peeked through the window, watching the detectives in their car. She really didn't want to go out there. She didn't feel safe. Annebelle wanted to be safe, indoors, where no magic wizards could attack her with scary mind blasts, or whatever the hell she thought she saw. Maybe...maybe she'd stay inside, for now. Skip classes for the day. There was no reason to go everyday, and she was doing well enough in the classes should would miss today, right? Annie peeled apart the blinds and scanned the environment outside.
