Wade Garrison sized up Jessica. Seeing she didn't seem to be lying, he was just wondering who could be looking for him when a loud BANG came from the courtyard gate.
He whipped his head around to look, only to see the courtyard gate shaking violently before it was quickly kicked open.
A male and a female police officer appeared before him.
The color drained from Wade Garrison's face.
A light instantly appeared in Jessica's tear-blurred eyes, and hope ignited in her heart. She choked out a shout, "Officers, help me! I'm begging you, help me!"
The moment Mrs. Garrison saw the police, her face turned pale and her legs began to tremble uncontrollably.
'The police? Why are the police here?'
"Are you Teacher Jessica?" the female officer asked, looking at Jessica.
Jessica nodded vigorously, tears streaming down her face. "Yes! I'm Jessica!"
"Don't worry." The female officer walked over, helped her up from the floor, and comforted her, "We're here to rescue you."
