"Of course we're turning it in," the squad leader said arrogantly before leading his team away.
'What are they turning it in for? That's crazy.'
Claire Sinclair was completely speechless, but there was nothing she could do. She would just have to wait until she saw Adrian Quincy and see if she could get her phone back then.
Thinking about the "bullying" she had just endured, she felt a little annoyed, but also a little intimidated.

The courage Claire Sinclair had just managed to summon vanished without a trace in an instant.
'Forget it. I'll just go back. I'm not in the mood today.'
Dejectedly, she turned and walked toward the dim exit.
The sky outside had already darkened.
