Hyde Road - Try calm her down

From Create Your Own Story

You can hardly believe how you have ended up in this moment, but without any options you try thinking of something to say that might bring the situation under control. "Woah!" You blurt out, "Calm down, who's Gavin Hart?" You feign ignorance, hoping it's believable.

It's not. She pushes the paper toward you. "You are!" She says her voice louder than ever before. "I'm not an idiot! You're the criminal on the front page of this paper!" She is shaking as she holds out the article in your direction.

You stand up, reaching your hands forward to grab the paper. She screams. Something hard hits the back of your head and everything goes blank.

When you come round, you are sitting in a chair still in the coffee shop. You have one hell of a headache, blue lights are flashing outside of the window. Your hands are restrained behind your back in handcuffs. There is an officer holding a note pad, across the room talking to the scrawny youth, who seems to be showing with some animated hand gestures how he shattered the glass biscotti jar, that is lying in pieces on the floor under the table, over your head. The officer pats him on the shoulder. Your bag is standing on the counter, next to the police officer.

The cold winter snow swirls down, as you stare out the window Jack disappears into one of the flurries. It will be long time in prison for you.

The End.
