Chapter 312

But there was no way the girl was gonna let Theresa walk away by herself, so she dragged her feet until the cops showed up.

Theresa knew a cop uniform when she saw one, and her little heart was a mix of awe and fear.

But she remembered her mommy telling her, if you're in a pickle, go find a cop for help. So when she saw the two officers stepping closer, Theresa's heart was thumping as she seriously said to them, "Officer, I lost my mommy's drawing, can you like help me find it?"

The officers were kinda blown away by the little girl's way with words.

The older cop squatted down in front of her: "Alright kiddo, how about you come back with us to the station, and we'll call your mom and dad to pick you up, sound good?"

Theresa, hearing the officer agree, felt a mix of happy and worried: "But, can you take me and I'll show you where the drawing is?"

The two officers exchanged a glance, not quite sure how much of her baby talk was legit and how much was make-believe, but decided to go along with it to calm her down first: "Okay, we'll take you there."

Theresa got all pumped up, hurriedly hitching up her bottle bag and pointing towards Brandon's company building: "Let's go, now, it's over there, we'll be there in no time."

In her excitement, she started to stumble over her words, getting all muddled up.
