[QUOTE="Nuke261, post: 1640723, member: 11182"] [i]Whitmyer Shopping Village, Accident Scene[/i] Andrew was not sure why he felt so tense as he and Catherine moved closer to the front of the line. All the talk about mutants must have been getting to him. He knew he was great at what he could do but all of his tests came back normal. Every time. This was it. The moment of truth. As Andrew and Catherine moved towards the Policemen, the cops stopped and exchanged looks with each other. One of the A-M cops walked over and quickly glanced at the scanner then looked at the couple. "Could I see your I.D.s, please. No big deal. As it turns out I need to ask you a few questions about a case being investigated at your school. Just step over here with me and we should be done in a few minutes." He directed them over to a black van that had pulled up while the search went on. While Sammy and Corey discussed the appearance of Sammy's I.D. the others in the crowd began to shift away from the two boys. Especially when Sammy started to smoke. His eyes grew wide as he stared at Corey and a very scary thought went through his head. 'What if he was a mutant!' Corey was starting to panic. this was supposed to be a fun day and now everything was going horrible. Like something out of a nightmare!
