The Prose Universe Part 11

                    One week After the Contest (Present Day) 2:00 pm

         Chief of the Prose Police Department (PPD) Andrew Regin and Sheriff Brittney Sowards still haven’t figured out what happened to everyone. The superintendent, the principal, the vice principal, several teachers and students, and the owner of the biggest newspaper in the country, Harry Situation were all still missing. The school board had found a temporary superintendent. Two teachers had been promoted to acting principal and acting vice principal and substitute teachers filled in for the teachers that were missing. Prose High continued as if those missing had never gone or worked at that school in the first place. The same couldn’t be said of the families for those missing, of course. Just as Chief Regin had predicted news of the investigation had taken off like a rocket. The entire world knew of the investigation. World leaders had called current President of Twain Hawkish Underdog to give their condolences for the missing victims.

         “There is a national debate currently undergoing cross the nation about whether the investigation should be handed over the F.B.I. or stay in the hands of the local police. The Conservative Party, believing in state’s right, thought the investigation should stay in the hands of the local police as they knew the community best. They encouraged Attorney General Andi Lutz and F.B.I. Director Blood for Ink to stay out of the local police’s way. The Liberal Party, of course, took the opposite position. They believe the vast resources of the F.BI would greatly increase the chance that the missing victims returned home safe and sound. And finally, the Centrist Party is suggesting that the F.B.I and the local police work together on the investigation. I’m Magenta Mage and you're watching Easter Bunny News! We will be back with more news after this commercial break.”

         Sheriff Brittney Sowards watched as multi color easter eggs flew across the television screen before it went black. A second later the commercials started. “Great”, she thought sarcastically “Even on this, Congress finds a way to be gridlocked.” Sheriff Sowards was at the police station looking at the t.v.. Any moment now Mayor Blair Logan’s press conference would start. She was finally about to weigh in on this debate. Sheriff Sowards secretly hoped it would end this stupid debate once and for all.
