The doors we can't walk through

**At the police station**

"Venereuse Marvelle", The head Officer said flatly, holding up a file.
"I thought we decided that you would stay out of trouble, at least till society forgets your existence".

"I'm sorry ,really, but this time I had to, it's a matter of life and death, I think"

He glared at me, his eyes flaming.
"You're darn right it's a matter of life and death", he slammed the file on the desk.

He was about to yell something else when the phone rang.

He muttered something into the phone and left the office without uttering a word to me.

"I guess I'll be here, waiting", I said to myself.

At least I have.....

Oh no
Oh no no no no no

What the -

I put my hand into my pocket and felt around, it wasn't there!!!!

Okay, calm down
You got caught at the wrong moment
You might just be put into custody
You misplaced the only thing that could possibly change your life
And...you might die tonight

Nope, it's time to panic now.

How did it get lost?
It was in my pocket, unless someone stealthily reached into my pocket and took it.
But who?
I don't really think anyone knew what I stole.

I shuffled through all the papers and files on the desk hoping to find something.
I panicked even more when I couldn't find anything.
I was close to tears till I opened the first drawer and found it...
The amulet.

At that moment I could also hear the head officer's footsteps.
Again, I stashed the amulet into my pocket and he walked into the room.

"So, Marvelle, may I ask you why you stole that specific item from the shop? I mean, there were many other jewels but you picked this one to steal, why?"
He interrogated

I roamed my mind for a good excuse and all I got was...

"It looked shiny and I thought it would cost more than the rest" I lied.

He hesitated for a bit but accepted my excuse.

I also had questions, he knew something about this.
Why did both the lady and the head police officer want this amulet?
I mean they could have taken it themselves, why didn't they???

My thoughts were interrupted when someone knocked on the door.

"Who is it??!", The head Officer yelled.

"Officer Maxwell, the owner of the pawn shop that was robbed earlier today is here, he demands you return the item that was stolen" The person informed.

"Tell him I'll be there", Officer Maxwell grunted.

And left yet again, but this time with a warning.

"Marvelle, don't think of leaving, or you'll get what's coming to you"
He banged the door behind him as he stepped out.

Oh I wasn't thinking of leaving, I guess I'll be going now
I've waited too long to have a perfect life
All I need to do is return this to the creepy lady and she'll give me what I want, simple.
But I need to escape the station first.

I easily slipped out of the office but the obstacle would be the security guards and the other officers moving around.

I tried to be stealthy but my escape plan was foiled when I saw that the main exit was blocked by three guards and there was absolutely no way I could get out of here without being caught....

Marvie.....
What are you gonna do
