The officer who arrived at the scene was greeted by the the man in sweat pants, who had given Daisy his energy bar and clobbered Aaron when he tried to escape. "We've got what this boy says is attempted murder of three young girls," he said. "They all seem homeless."
"I see," said the police officer. He looked them all over, then asked Judah, "What's your name, young man?"
"Judah, sir," he replied. "That boy being restrained is Aaron.
"Last name?"
Judah looked confused. "I don't remember, sir. I've been gone for over ten years. You know, I remember policemen though. I wish you were when my girlfriend was killed."
The officer looked startled. "I beg your pardon?"
"He's a little confused," Pippa said. "Will you lock Aaron up?"
"I believe so," the officer said. Aaron was already in handcuffs and being put in a squad car. "Are you girls friends?"
"We're sisters," Pippa said, smiling at Frances.
"Adopted?"
