Two Forces

The children didn't know how they found themselves out of the woods and back in the community. 

Everything was a blur to them when following the officers out. 

They desperately wanted to tell Macy and Trey to be careful around the old officer. But who would believe them, kids?

What's more, the elderly officer has been working in the police force since his young days so he had an impeccable reputation that wasn't to be questioned.

So to wake up one day and suddenly say such a person was planning to go on a killing spree was enough to make many adults roll their eyes heavenward.

As though Macy and Trey were afraid the children would run off again after dark the officers dropped every one of them at their homes. 

Everyone had a gloomy expression, as they could only look to their leader Greg with worry, fear, and also a determination to stay alive.
