” he said having his hands in the air as if told to freeze by a police office.It at this moment that Gabriel returned, “hey where’s the ice crea...?” She asked Fred.“Huh let me check,” He said and left. Within a moment he was back shaking his head, “sorry guys none.” When he saw my tearful face, he said, “alright lemm’e checked back with the boss ok.” So we’ve waited awhile for him to come back but no sign. “What’s taking him so long,” Gabriel asked. “Dunno,” I answered. After long minutes, she. I went out after her and caught her up on the stairs. "Are you OK?" I asked. "Yeah, I just wanna go up to bed" she replied. "oh, ok" I said, confused.
