GIANTS

~{ZILLAH'S POV}~

One moment they were there and the next they weren't.

"Did she use her abilities?" I pondered aloud and quickly hurried to the watch-room to check what went on between her and Joe before they vanished.

"Is there a problem, Officer Zillah?" The person in charge of the unit inquired as he quickly got up from his chair.

"The investigation room," I simply said and he sat down and pointed it out for me.

Strangely, when I looked at it, I frowned because it showed that they were currently in the room talking.

"Is this recent," I asked to be certain and he nodded with a firm yes.

Without wasting more time, I hurried back there only to find it empty. And the first thing that came to mind was to inform Officer Greene about it but at the same time I couldn't do that.

However, the moment I sat down on one of the chairs with the thought of waiting for them, that was when they returned. But instead of just bombarding her with questions, I decided to observe them closely.

Joe looked petrified and so did Frances.

"I…I need to sit down," Joe said but stopped halfway when he saw me seated on one of the chairs looking at him in suspicion.

When Frances also noticed my presence, she inhaled sharply.

"Where did you go this time, Frances?" I calmly inquired while watching her closely.

"I….I don't know," she answered.

"Joe, is she lying?" I directed my question to Joe while still focusing my attention on her.

"She's not…we were in a completely strange world entirely," he breathlessly said.

Had they been running? Because it was obvious.

Could it be that they were chased by something?

"Were you chased?"

I curiously inquired.

"Yes. By some gigantic beings," Joe quickly filled me in and Frances looked at him in dread.

"Frances," I slowly called her name and she faced me in an instant.

"Can't you still control it?"

At my question she shook her head.

If she couldn't still control it then we had a bigger problem.

And just as I was about to say something else, the industry's alarm rang, alerting us on a possible intrusion.

"Joe, take her back to the restraining room and stay there with her until I give you a signal," I instructed him and he nodded before grabbing Frances by the hand and taking her out of the investigation room while I followed behind briefly before taking another route to find what happened.

On the way I met one of the officers who stopped midway and explained what happened.

"Unwanted creatures just appeared out of nowhere."

"What kind of creatures?" I asked.

"Giants!" He said and hurried off to get his weapon.

"Giants?" I slowly repeated what he said as I got reminded of what Joe told me not long ago.

"...by some gigantic beings."

Could it be that Frances unintentionally brought them here?

At that thought I quickly looked in the direction they had gone and ran after them. If she brought them in then there was really a big problem.

And just as I was about to take a u-turn, I came to an immediate stop as I found a huge being standing in the hallway looking confused.

The moment it sensed my presence and looked at me, it frowned and asked a straightforward question.

"Where's the girl?"
