THE BLOODY PATIENTS
CHAP: 7
It was sunrise when the police arrived. As I mentioned before, you would know this if you were paying attention to the book, that Granny lived in a very remote area, with no other houses and was surrounded by a huge forest. It is extremely hard to get there if it’s your first time. Even her address is confusing:
FLORENCE RESIDENCE
THE ONLY HOUSE
NEW YORK

Clara rushed outside with Sarah and Josh on her tail. The armed police officers went inside, while the Deputy and Officer remained outside. The kids looked at the serious officers and read their nametags.
Officer Clark, Deputy Bloomers
They are very ‘serious looking’ aren’t they? The Deputy smiled at the kids, shaking their hands, but the Officer looked at them fiercely and suspiciously as if they were the criminals. Josh darted behind Sarah as the Officer’s glare came on him. “So, you kids dialed 911. Whats your convenient story?” Clara looked at him, not afraid at all and told him everything. “We were sleeping soundly when we were woken up by a scream. We rushed to our grandmother’s room, so she can keep us safe. When we got to her room, she wasn’t there. Her bedroom door was ripped off its hinges. Her bed and room all messed up. There was BLOOD everywhere. That’s why we called 911.” The Officer snorted. “Yeah right. Honestly, kids these days. This better not be a prank, otherwise you can spend the night in our most uncomfortable detention cell.” The Deputy pushed the Officer back and gave him a look that said, ‘that’s enough.’ The Officer slouched back, sulking. That my readers, is why you should never judge a book by its cover. Just because someone has an unserious name like Bloomers and is on a lower rank, doesn’t mean they aren’t smarter. Just because someone has a normal name like Clark and is in a higher rank, doesn’t mean he is the smartest. So, remember that. The Deputy turned back towards the children, pulling out a notepad. “I’m gonna ask you a few questions. I just want you to answer honestly.” The children answered all his questions, while the Officer played games on his phone in the corner. Abway Merfers is the greatest game of all time, I can’t even deny that. The other armed police officers were still not back. Clara could see the Deputy getting worried by every passing second. He kept glancing at the front door. When he had no more questions to ask, he turned towards the Officer. “I am going to go inside, to check on them. You keep an eye on the kids, ok?” The Officer just nodded, clearly not paying attention. The deputy rolled his eyes and sighed. As soon as he was about to step in, the police officers came back, looking incredibly angry. One of them approached the children and said, “You guys just think that you’re so clever.” He then turned to the Deputy and said, “Everything is fine in there. No damage, no BLOOD. The old lady is in the kitchen. She even gave us cookies.” “WHAT!?” The children were shocked. They rushed inside and saw someone with their back turned to the stove. She turned around and said, “Ah children. There you are.” It was, if you have not guessed it yet,
