“Well, you seem to know a lot about the situation,” the officer said. “Which means you’re either making it all up, you really are involved, or you were somehow closer than other witnesses. I think we’d better take you into the station to find out what’s going on.” Drew grew mad at the attitude and complete incompetence of this cop, but at least he was being taken to the station where maybe he could do something to help.

Hope sighed and put her face in her hands. There was no point in trying to lighten the mood. They just had to all handle it as best they could and hope for the best when the FBI arrived. She wondered if they would have agents who knew them come in or just some random FBI agents who they’d never met before. She wished that the agents training them never had to find out about this, but she also hoped that it would be agents they knew because they would understand better.
"I'm sorry about this, it's my fault really. If anyone gets in trouble, it should just be me." She couldn’t help feeling it was all her fault. The gang had told her to stay on campus but she not only ignored their warnings but got others involved as well. She started trying to come up with what she was going to say to the agents when she saw Drew and Riabhca come in ((if you don’t want Riabhca to have been brought in I can change that)). She recognized Drew but not the girl. The cops escorted them into a side room. They must be questioning them or something since neither one of them were involved in the fight.
A couple hours later Hope could hear some men talking but couldn’t see them.
“Of course they showed us FBI badges, that’s why we called you. But we couldn’t be sure they were real, you have to understand that. With the things these mutants can do nowadays, we can’t be sure of much of anything.”
“Just tell us what happened and show us who you have locked up here.”
“Well, we’re still trying to figure out exactly what happened. We have several witnesses but their stories don’t all match up. You know how the public is, they see any kind of mutant activities and their imaginations go wild. There’s no telling who’s telling the truth or not.”
“Alright, that’s enough! If you aren’t capable of determining what happened, turn all the detainees over to us and we’ll sort out the details ourselves. Since it is a matter of mutant involvement it is beyond your jurisdiction anyway.”
