The sheriff's hunt

Chapter 11

Tom turned back and carefully took out his gun, pointing it at the person only to see Hank's face staring at him with a smile.

"Hank, what are you still doing here?" Tom said as he relaxed and returned his gun into his pocket.

"I noticed you were not following, so I decided to come back and I also remember I am your partner since detective Jane is on the sick bed" he said and Tom sighs.

"Thanks for coming!, Did you by any chance see a broken camera taped here?" Tom asked and Hank looked at the direction he pointed at and shook his head.

"No, I just got here, so I didn't" Hank responsed and Tom looked back at the tree. He could tell that it was right there at that time.

He looked around and saw the tape used to stick the camera to the tree broken on the floor. Hew bent and picked it up.

"I knew what I saw, it was right there!" Tom said within myself before walking away.

"Hank, what do you think of what's going on in here?" Tom asked him and Hank chuckled.

"It's a bit crazy than what we do have before. Some animal must be on rampage. It's really exhausting to watch our people died daily" Hank said and Tom sighs.

"When did this actually start? I heard you grew up in this town" Tom said and Hank nodded.

"I grew up here but more like living the life of a criminal locked behind the four walls of his room, my parents did allow me out until I was 18. I was only allowed to go for 2 hours per day till I joined the force.

It's was pretty cool then, those werewolves didn't attack like this. Everything was smooth between us then."

Hank said and Tom looked at him.

"Do you know who they are?" Tom asked and Hank instantly raised his face with fear written on it, meeting with Tom's eyes, he quickly looked away and coughed.

"I do, why should I? I have been in the city but I don't even know the pope here, how can I know them?" Hank said awkwardly and Tom patted his back.

"I didn't mean it like that, you sounded like you know them, so I had to ask!" Tom said and Hank laughed.

"I never knew my tones were misleading" Hank said and walked two steps away.

"Let's head back sheriff, it's time for our routine meeting" Hank said and walked to his car.

Tom looked around once again and felt it was so strange, he saw a camera and now it's gone.

He had no choice but to head back to his car and drove straight to the station.

He walked in and Dave walked up to him. 

"He is in the interrogation room!" Dave said and handed over a file to Tom. Tom opened it and went through it as he was walking to the room.

He looked at the guy sitted uncomfortably in the room looking everywhere like he was about to be murdered.

"Thanks Dave, I don't want any one around, this is personal '' Tom said and Dave nodded and walked away instantly.

"Sean" Tom called out his name as he walked into the room and the guy looked up and was terrified. More like he wasn't expecting tom to show up in his face at the time.

"My dearest Sean, why are you so shocked to see me?" Tom asked and Sean swallowed hard.

"Nothing, I wasn't expected to be here at all, I came to report what I saw willingly and here I am being interrogated like a criminal!" Sean said boldly.

"Whoa, when you were here the first time, you were not old, still shivering like you met the werewolf but now, you have forgotten, you are so bold to take back at me" Tom said and Sean looked away.

"I don't know but I feel your speech has to be revised. The reason why you came out as a witness needs to be revised as well. So tell me, Sean, what do you really know about werewolves?" 

Tom said and sat down in front of him and Sean looked away instantly.

"Sean, look at me, what happened?" Tom asked and banged the table in their middle.

"I have told you everything I saw. Please, I have told you everything!" Sean yelled as tears rushed from his eyes.

"Don't play the pity card, why did the CCTV camera go after you closed for the day. Why were you captured by the CCTV to have tampered with it?

Sean, you better start talking if you don't want to end up in jail, an officer is in thee bed before of your information, so tell me, what I need to know!" 

Tom yelled at him.

"All you need to know is I have a life, I have narrated everything I saw. Please, let me go, I have better things to do" Sean said trying to be harsh." Sean yelled.

Tom could not understand what was going on anymore Sean seems to be stubborn and secretive and it can't be illegal put in the cell as well. Torturing him is quite out of line.

Tom opened his files and started checking through them.

"Ohh, your sister is Morgan right?" Tom said and Sean was shocked but he didn't let out a voice.

"She belongs to an all girls group that is having a lunch get together today, right?" Tom asked and Sean swallowed heard but remained quiet.

"How long have you been here?" Tom asked and Sean looked at him this time.

"Sincd 10:00am, I guess, I was summoned by detective Hank and I rushed down here" he said and Tom looked up at him.

"You didn't want to show up here anymore, right?" Tom asked and he nodded affirmatively.

"But when Hank invited you over, you are here?" Tom said and Sean's throat dried.

It's over!
