COP CAR

Before I get the keys from my bag, I hear a bunch of keys jiggle from inside and the door opens. Sophie comes out, looking panicked. ''Where have you been? And moreso, why haven't you been picking your phone?'' My phone has been on silent since school because I don't want it to accidentally ring and then get seized by the likes of Mr Finkle.

''What happened?'' I ask, panic also settling in my brain.

''Well, don't panic.''

''You panicked first,'' I counter. ''What happened?''

''Someone slashed Cameron's tyres.''

''WHAT!'' I scream. Jason, who has not left, jogs to my side and looks between my sister and I. ''What's going on?''

''Someone slashed Cameron.'' He raises a brow. ''Cameron is her car, it's literally her baby and someone slashed the tyres.''

''Oh.''
