Chapter 617: The Police

With their bags packed, Autumn and Gabe, put the last of their luggage into the car and were now ready to leave soon after breakfast.

However, before they could return inside to fetch Arabelle, a police cruiser pulled up as two officrs alighted the car. The first one unfamiliar while the second one was the one who'd come to their home previously.

"Where are you going?" The older officer asked directly in an accusatory tone that raised Gabe's hackles. Stepping in front of Autumn, he looked at the officer and questioned," We're going for a trip, officer. You have a problem with that?"

"Do you have the court's permission to leave? Given the circumstances, we need to ensure everything is in order."

"What circumstances are we talking about? The court has not stated that we cannot leave the town. We've been cooperative so far. We are free citizens, and unless there's something specific you're here for, I don't see why we need to justify a simple trip."
