My dad's name is Erik Thomson. I'm Hope Thomson. Pretty strange names, my mom picked out mine. Anyway my dad is actually well known for good deeds. Everybody knows he never drinks, smokes, does drugs. He definitely never has committed a crime. So why is this happening?!
"Thomson?! Erik Thomson?! Never! It's not possible! Girl I don't know who you are but I swear! Erik is an old buddy! He even solved crimes with me!! He would never ever do something as terrible as-"
"sir!" A police man ran into the room. He was out of breath and plain shock was plastered on his pale face.
" what?" He sounded annoyed, Angel whimpered. I don't think he was angry at her, just angry in general.
"We found Erik Thomson unconscious by a trash can!" The officers face was pulled into pure outrage and fear.
"I'm coming!" He pulled on his hat and ran. His face showed panic and fear.
"I'm going to! He is my father!" I jumped up butToby caught my wrist. His kind face gave me a reassuring glance.
"Stay...my dad is going to find him." He sounded so sure of himself that I actually sat down again.
"Okay." He smiled and said in a laid back voice
"I'm Toby Hawk...and you are?" He gave me a smirk, his eyebrows somehow challenging.
"I'm Hope Thomson. This is Raven Turnwall. And last but not least this is Angel Ui." He nodded to each one of us. Then his attention turned back to me.
"Well..." There was a silence. I sighed a number of times. Angel appeared to be over the shock and was helping Raven get over it as well. Toby was whistling, hands in his pockets. I did not recognize the tune but it was nice. After a hour or so we had started to talk. It was fun. We did truth or dare. "Raven!"
"Dare!" she gulped but took on the challenge, it was a way to prove herself, yet it was also a distraction. Laughter could be heard as Angel and Raven exchanged dares. "Alright!" Raven slapped her hands together, a grin on her face. "Hope!"
"Dare!" I love dares. Truths are boring. This is a way to prove your courage, besides I can never think of the right Truth to lay on an unsuspecting friend.
"Go to the guard and kiss him!" Toby went stiff. Angel was snickering, a hand over her mouth. "she doesn't need to do it..." Toby said quietly. I held my head high.
"I want to prove I'm not a pussy!" "Uh uh..." Toby wasn't making any sense, he nervously twisted his fingers and his eyes darted to Raven. I got up and marched over to the guard. I took his head between my hands and kissed him, it was quick and small. I pulled away and winked at him, he blushed and then walked away. Raven burst out laughing,
"DID YOU SEE HIS FUCKING FACE!" He's probably wondering what the hell just happened. "Toby!" I say. He seems kind of sad.
"I uh..." But before he could say anything my dad staggered in and threw up all over Angel.
She screamed, frozen on the spot.
