Hello, is this Casper Towns? [9:46 am]
yes [9:48 am]
Incoming call from : OFF ADms
OFF ADms : Hello, am I speaking to Casper?
Me : Yes, sir. I am-
OFF ADms : Son, I need you to stay where you are. We’re sending officers to check out the Galvin estate. Have you spoken to Coby?
Me: ...... I just got texts from him this morning. Creepy ones. But now he’s just… gone.
OFF ADms : Send me those texts. All of them. Now.
Me: What is going on?
OFF ADms : Just do it.
Me: .............. I sent the screenshots. Now, tell me what’s happening.
OFF ADms : Son... We are as clueless as you.
Me : WHAT THEN WHY DID-
OFF ADms : You are our main lead. According to all the data we have gathered.... You're the last person to be contacted by one of the Galvin.
Me : Who was the second last?
OFF ADms : Their maid. She was last contacted two days ago. Wait! Did I hear somethin-
Me : Nah. Just opening the fridge.
OFF ADms : Wait, weren't you able to get into the house-
Me: Yup... I couldn’t get into the house, but I was able to open the backyard door. I am now in our treehouse. Coby and I used to hang out here all the time.
OFF ADms : They have a fridge in the treehouse?
Me : No, it's mine and Coby. Coby's grandfather gave it to us in inheritance after he passed away.
OFF ADms : I see.... It seems like you both are very close then?
Me : Yea... We were.
OFF ADms : Don't lose hope, son. I promise you, we will find them.
Me : ...... Do you think I could help?
OFF ADms : Of course! You can help in multiple ways. In search parties, questio- If you're up to it.
Me : Well then... fire your shots.
OFF ADms : Are you sure? You are quite in an emotion-
Me : Positive. Do your job.
OFF ADms : Alright then.... What are you doing currently?
Me : Drinking some soda and talking with you from the couch.
OFF ADms : By the way, I can hear the sirens from your end. Just stay in that safe haven of yours, got it?
Me : Yes, sir.
OFF ADms : Great! Now, I am going to ask you the actual questions. Just like how you answered the previous one, I need everything you know. It doesn't have to be exact. It's fine if you mess it up, we will go over it again.
Me : Ahh... I see. That got me thinking. Can we start?
OFF ADms : Definitely. Casper, did he ever mention where he was going? Before this text?
Me: No....never..... Just something about a hunt.
OFF ADms : Yes, I am seeing your screenshots. Do you have any idea what exactly is this hunt?
Me : I don’t. He didn’t explain either. He just… sent me some weird texts before he was gone. Said something about a funeral… but nothing made sense.
OFF ADms : Good. Do you think this has to do with 'Treasure hunt' ?
Me: OH MY GOD! WHY DIDN'T I THINK OF THAT! COBY LOVES A TREASURE HUNT. HE WAS OUR YEARLY GAME ORGANIZER-
OFF ADms : (Muffled voices in the background) Adams, did you see that? We better get the forensics team back in there—
Me : Did someone die? WAIT THE COPS BROKE IN THE-
OFF ADms : CASPER STAY WHERE YOU ARE! NO ONE HAS... it's something about the text...... it says 'beginning after he dies'.
Me : THEN TELL ME WHAT IS HAPPENING! I FEEL SO.....
OFF ADms : Casper... Son..... you're hyperventilating.... Have you ever had panic attacks....before?
Me : I DON'T .... KNOW!
OFF ADms : Alright, listen to me. You are safe, okay? I need you to listen to my voice.
Me : *huff*
OFF ADms : Breathe in for four seconds.....come on, son...... with me. 1… 2…3… 4. Hold it! *breathe in*
Me : 1...2....3....4......*breathe in*
OFF ADms : Now out. Slowly. 1… 2…3… 4. Good. Again.
Me : 1...2....*breath hitched*
OFF ADms : Don't worry..... take your time. I am here with you, son. (Where are the paramedics? The kid's starting to show.... Alright.) Casper your mom and dad are coming to pick you up. Just keep doing the exercise.
Me : 1...2....3....4......*breathe in*
OFF ADms : Atta Boy! You're doing great! Once more!
Me : 1...2....3....4......*breathe in*
OFF ADms : There you go. You’re doing good, Casper. Feelin' okay?
Me : Okay… okay… I think I’m… okay.
OFF ADms : You did good, son. Now, tell me....can you get out of the treehouse on your own?
Me: Yeah, I hope so.
OFF ADms : No need to rush. Your parents are almost there.
Me: Officer Adams... why are they using THE yellow duct tape?
OFF ADms: ... I.... I promise, we’ll figure this out together. But right now, I just need you to not look in that direction. Keep talking to me, son.
Me : Oh sweet Jes— *THUD*
