What did they see? ;;
verity was always a curious kid, and never knew when to leave things alone. so, maybe it was her fault when on her twelth birthday, she witnessed something that shook her childish beliefs to the core. her party had gone terribly wrong - the cake had been stale, and her parents had had an argument in front of all her friends. so when a police siren began to ring - a few streets away, and getting closer - she'd welcomed the distraction and slipped out to watch. imagine her surprise and horror when the police car pulled up in front of the house of her kindly neighbour, mr smith. surely it was some kind of mistake?
verity could only stare for a few moments before being dragged inside by her parents, their argument forgotten. however, that night, she opened up google and searched for her neighbour's name. she found out the truth in moments - her shy, friendly neighbour, who she had known since she was barely a fledgeling, who had helped build her treehouse, was suspected of murder, and would be put to trial. two weeks later, he was convicted, and sentenced to life imprisonment.
ever since, verity has trusted no-one. after realising that someone who she knew and trusted had been lying all along, she found it much more difficult to believe people, and was cautious when meeting strangers. she joined the police, in the hopes of preventing more crimes, and saving children like she had been from terrible discoveries.
