Twenty minutes later sirens from a police car could be heard pulling into the driveway. Tina got up and turned the TV off while Bette focus her attention to Angelica to explain to her what was about to happen.

Bette: Okay sweetie listen, there’s a man who wants to come and talk to you, he’s going to help you find your mommy and daddy so just tell him everything that you told me and Ms. Tina about your parents, okay.

Angelica nodded her head.

Angelica: Ok.

Angie said in a sweet child voice. Tina put her arms around Angie to give her comfort as Bette went to open the door.

Tina: Don’t worry honey everything is going to be fine and I will be right here with you ok.

Angelica nodded again.

Bette opened the door and the deputy walked in.

Deputy: Mrs. Porter?

Bette: Yes that’s me and please call me Bette.

Bette shook his hand.

Deputy: Sure. I got a call about a missing child is that correct?

Bette: Yes she’s right over there, please come in.

Deputy: Thank you ma’am.

Bette: This is my wife Tina Kennard-Porter.

Deputy: How you do ma’am?

Tina got off the couch to shake the deputy hands.

Tina: Could be better under the circumstances, thanks for asking.

The deputy nod his head in a way of saying that he understood then turned towards Angie.

Deputy: And who is this little pretty girl, what’s your name?

Angelica: Angelica.

Deputy: Angelica, wow that’s a pretty name. Angelica do you mind if I ask you some questions, would that be okay?

Angelica nodded her head yes.

The deputy talked to Angie for about thirty minutes and tried to get as many answers as he could to get a better understanding of what actually happened out there in the woods. Angie told him exactly what she had said to Bette and Tina, but some questions she couldn’t answer for she was still only just a small five year child, brave and smart, but yet still a kid. After what Angelica told him the deputy quickly called in back up forces and possibly the crime scene investigators, just in case her parents weren’t still alive.

Deputy: Thank you Angelica for talking with me, now me and my friends are going to go out there in the woods and bring your mommy and daddy back to you okay, I’m sure they are just fine.
