Chapter 57

Cam, Laurie, and Janelle were put in one patrol car, the other three guys in another. Preston was taken in the main patrol car. Cam sat there silently as Laurie had tears running down her face and Janelle was crying.

When they got to the police station, they were unshackled and all put in a holding cell. They’d be taken from there, one by one, to be processed.

“What’s gonna happen now?” Laurie asked as she sidled closer to Cam.

“They’ll take your names and addresses and fingerprint you. They’ll ask a lot of questions, but you don’t have to answer anything without a lawyer present. They’ll try to make you confess to all sorts of things, but remember, you don’t have to say anything except your name.”

Janelle came up to Laurie. Tears were running down her face. Laurie put her arms around her and held her tightly.

“It’ll be okay, honey,” she whispered. “You didn’t do anything.”

“Will they let me call my mom?” she asked between whimpers.
