She blinked her teary eyes and spotted a row of chairs in the corner. Step by step, she walked over to them. She tried to climb up with all her might, so much so her face turned red. The policeman watched her seat herself. Concerned, he asked, "Hey buddy, is your guardian going to pick you up?"

Sheryl nodded.

"Get the plane ready immediately," commanded Shane without hesitation.

"Yes, sir."

Making his way to River City as fast as he could, he rushed over to the police station near Flowerbed Residence.
