Not down on any map
Welcome to a Halloween story with my police sims! It starts out with a murder case, and ends as… time travel? Or are things not as they seem? This chart shows the characters with their current life...

With the parents’ express permission the investigators enter Pip’s room upstairs. What will they find there?

On first glance nothing sticks out as being out of the ordinary. This is the domain of a child that still gets outfitted in the generic baby pink by her parents for the most part, but who has started developing her own preferences, now that she attends school and broadens her horizon.
Daniel smiles when he notices a red toy chopper resting on Pip’s treasure chest. Pip has built that one in his class, that is, Daniel had handed each child a bag of parts that they had painted and put together. The teacher then had slotted a tiny engine and two batteries in. Daniel still remembers the color each child has chosen, and who has given their chopper a name, but he couldn’t on top of his head cite his students’ classroom performance.
“Mister Reed!“ Pip gasps upon seeing Daniel. “And Mister Reed…”
The unspoken question is easy to decipher: Have Mister and Mister Reed swung by tonight, a teacher somewhat disgruntled by Pip’s misdeed and his husband? Or is it rather Mister Reed the teacher and POLICE CAPTAIN Reed? There being a whole squad of cops strongly suggests the second. In fact, there seems to be no end to policemen entering the room!

“I’m so sorry, Mister Reed”, Pip says in a small voice. “I shouldn’t have abducted you. But I didn’t know that would happen! That I’d snatch you of all people!”
“Pip… Kidnapping people isn’t less bad when you do it to strangers!”
Calmly, patiently Daniel reminds the girl that she knows how he feels after getting shanghait to the Pequod, and he makes sure to use this exact word instead of variations of “abducted”. He goes on explaining that her other victims, the ones she’s never met before, are feeling the same. Eventually it sinks in. Pip agrees to apologize to everyone she has forced to play Captain Ahab with her.
Daniel looks up, into his husband’s face, who nods solemnly. From listening to Daniel talk to Pip, they all have come to the same conclusion: Pippilotta isn’t aware of what exactly she has done. Especially she cannot even imagine that her involuntary playmates have died every time the Pequod sank in the dreamscape. It is better if she never learns of that cruel detail.
“That won’t be necessary”, Daniel tells Pip. “Or, what I mean is, you meeting everyone in person won’t be required. But you will write a long letter in which you apologize, young lady! And before you do that, pray tell us how did you do all of this?”
“I just wished for it to happen.”
Danggit. Up to this point it had went so well, but now the detectives are stuck again. No matter how they phrase their questions, or what angles they come up with to build bridges for the suspect, Pip simply cannot explain what exactly she has done to give her wish that much power.
