She wanted to help her out more but knew that she had done as much as she was capable of doing and clearly JD wanted to be on her own after the shock. When JD then spoke to her directly, Lana was a little take aback by what she said to her. No one had ever really gave such a genuine compliment to her who wasn't trying to get in her pants so it was something new to try and process. [color=b00000]"Uh, yeah sure, that's no problem cutie. Uhm, thanks. Just take care getting back to your apartment, okay? Be seeing you."[/color] It was awkward and messy seeming but it was all that Lana could focus on in order to speak. She wasn't entirely sure why she was so surprised at the comment, but it was what it was. Bidding farewell to JD and grabbing her bottles of vodka on her way, tucking one under her left arm and holding the other in her left hand to keep her right hand free to hold her apartment keys. Lana made her way back to her apartment keeping an eye out for Lyle on the way but she couldn't see him amongst the crowd that was being questioned and were dispersing. On her way to the Rose building, Lana noticed that officers were marching inside and she spotted one on each floor on her way up, knocking on doors and bothering the tenants. Didn't they realise most everyone was outside at the block party when all the shit hit the fan? God damn idiots. Lana grumbled and rolled her eyes as she made her way to the third floor and stopped in her tracks as she spotted another officer knocking on the door to her apartment. Maybe Lyle was inside and could deal with the cop and Lana could just slip away for the night. I mean, she already had the party tucked under her left arm... No such luck as the police officer turned around and spotted Lana. "Do you live in this apartment, ma'am?" [color=b00000]"Maybe. Who wants to know?"[/color] Lana gave the officer a steady glare. "Ma'am this is not the time nor place for jokes. I have some questions that I need you to answer." [color=b00000]"I already answered questions outside. I don't see why I need to repeat myself."[/color] "Ma'am this is an investigation of a possible homicide and you are preventing an investigation from being carried out. That is an obstruction of justice and I am well within my rights of the law to take you into custody if you continue to refuse to co-operate." Lana rolled her eyes as she shrugged lightly and walked towards the officer that was standing in front of her apartment door. She stepped up close to him and leaned in, the officer taking a step back and staring at her in alarm. "Ma'am take a step back! I will arrest you for assaulting a police officer." Lana scoffed at him and shook her head, turning the key in the lock of the door behind him, the audible click ringing out in the hallway as she opened the door and let it swing open. [color=b00000]"Good luck explaining to your boss that you arrested a tiny little woman for unlocking her apartment door at you."[/color] Chuckling to herself, Lana stepped back from the officer and invited him inside. [color=B00000]"To show that I have nothing to hide and am willing to answer the same questions. [i]Again[/i]."[/color] Walking inside, Lana made her way to the kitchen and placed the bottles of vodka on the countertop. She switched the kettle on and let it begin to boil as she set about making herself a cup of coffee. The officer stood in the doorway unsure how to react to these events but eventually followed her inside, leaving the door open. Lana made up two basic mugs of black coffee and began to prepare her own before asking the officer what he took in his. He answered and then accepted the mug that she handed to him. Lana motioned to the breakfast bar and sat down, setting the coffee in front of her after taking a long, much needed, sip. The officer sat uncomfortably on the stool and set his mug down without taking a sip. He opened his notebook and prepraed to ask his first question. Lana considered the officer, he was attractive in a rough kind of way but seemed too jumpy and goody-goody for her liking. Shame, she could have done with a tumble after all the shit that went down tonight that ruined her good fun. Drumming her fingers lightly on the counter, Lana considered her answers as he spoke. "Why did you leave the scene?" [color=b00000]"Because I had already been questioned outside by a cute little red headed officer and his big blonde sidekick that didn't much like me."[/color] "What is your connection with the deceased?" [color=b00000]"Didn't know her. Recognised her from around but she was a loner type."[/color] "Were you living here when the last girl committed suicide?" [color=b00000]"Nope but my roommate, Lyle Marlestone did."[/color] "Why did you move in if you knew someone died in this building?" [color=b00000]"To be fair, the girl didn't die in [i]this[/i] building. She died in the one next door. So your question is pretty much baloney."[/color] "What do you do for a living?" This one was a question that Lana was used to answering so she let out a gentle sigh and looked the officer dead in the eyes as she spoke. [color=b00000]"I am an unemployed actress. Right now I'm paying the bills with my savings that are becoming more and more meager with each passing day without work. I'll eventually need to move out at this rate..."[/color] She let out another small sigh and weaved her fingers together in front of herself. She looked positively crestfallen and the officer blinked and began to go red across his cheeks as he cleared his throat and continued. "Did you see anything?" [color=b00000]"I saw the poor woman falling to her death and crushing a table below. I saw someone being injured, another neighbour, and then had a different neighbour grab onto my arm who I then helped to a seat and gave a drink to to help calm her down some."[/color] "Who do you remember being on the street?" [color=b00000]"The entire neighbourhood? I only recognised some faces but I don't know actual names, just the nicknames that I've given them during my people watching stints while bored out of my mind without work."[/color] The officer noted down her last answer and looked as if he was about done. Lana glanced at his notepad and took a long drink from her mug of coffee before nodding to his mug. [color=b00000]"You not going to finish that? I'm sure my flatmate will be back any time now. He was at the block party too so no doubt he's being questioned outside and will need you to re-question him up here."[/color] She gave a satisfied little smirk as she lifted her steaming mug of coffee up to her face again.[hr][hr][center][h1][color=olive]Lorna Dunn[/color][/h1] [img]http://65.media.tumblr.com/1306c80fd10cfbd6191919b075eeb92c/tumblr_n0t4nzh8CP1rhih57o1_250.gif[/img][hr][hr][b]Location:[/b] Boston Heights: Courtyard >> Her apartment[/center][hr] Lorna looked up to Caesar as he walked over and wondered if he'd announce who he was on the phone to but no such luck but hey, he was giving them more wages! [color=olive]"Thanks boss, 'ppreciate it and I will do. Probably some time tomorrow knowin' me..."[/color] She gave a light chuckle that was soon cut off as soon as she saw the monstrosity that El Jefe was suggesting they get permanently attached to their skin. She heard Alicia's comment but not even that could make her face lose the stern aggitation that was now upon it. [color=olive]"Fuck that shit for a carry fuckin' on, El Jefe. Ya god damn lost yer mind man! That shit ain't in my job description and I'll be a fuckin' jack rabbit monkey 'fore I get yer face anywhere near my body!"[/color] With that outburst and shaking of her head, Lorna threw her hands up into the air and began to walk away, shouting over her shoulder to Alicia and Caesar as she did. [color=olive]"I'm goin' the fuck home. If ye need me boss, don't. Ye can live for a night."[/color] With that, Lorna bid them both goodbye (well Alicia was only until she came home but still) and made her way home. At least riiiight until she heard Lawson calling out to everyone to grab what food they could and take it home to chow down. She made a b-line right for the smokey goodness (and that wasn't including Lawson) and gave him a grateful smile before grabbing a bunch of food to take home for munching tonight. [color=olive]"Thanks for the food, gonna enjoy me some home cookin' tonight even if the party went fuckin' South fast. Was nice talkin' for a bit tonight, even if it was only a lil while. Take care o' yersel'. Be seein' ya around."[/color] She figured that there was no point wasting time on pointless flirtations when she was never really good at it. She gave him a wink and then grinned, gathering her armful of food and heading off to her apartment. Getting inside, she was impressed with the cleanliness that the landlord had left it in and the new door looked fine and dandy. Two new keys for the new lock were sitting on the now sparkly sofa and Lorna grinned. She put the food in the kitchen and grabbed a rack of ribs as she sat on the sofa, scooping a key up and putting it in her trouser pocket as she ate her food. She was sitting, enjoying herself when a police officer came down and blinked as she saw Lorna sitting on the sofa with a rack of ribs and sauce all over her mouth and hands. Lorna raised an eyebrow and swallowed her mouthful. [color=olive]"Can I help ya?"[/color] The line of questioning was the same as usual that Lorna was used to dealing with and she sighed as she set her ribs down on the sofa cushion and got up, wiping her hands on her trousers and licking her lips. [color=olive]"I left the scene because I was done doin' my job as security, keepin' the damn pissant media the fuck away. I was also hungry. I barely knew the girl, offered to free run with her, parkour that is, but she declined politely and I ne'er bothered her again. She seemed nice, was real polite. Wasn't livin' here durin' the last death, nah so don't know nothin' 'bout that. She didn't die in this buildin' far as I know, wasn't it next door? I work in secruity for Machete Security Services and we were workin' right outside while you guys were busy pissin' around. I didn't see shit, everythin' went too fast and I went on auto-job mode and just got idiots out the way that weren't supposed to fuckin' be there. Yer welcome by the by. Eh, there was a fuckton of people on the street. The entire neighbourhood far as I can recall. I knew a few people, mostly my neighbours I'll write ye a list if you require it later but right now my hands are a bit fucked up."[/color] She held her stained hands up and showed how sticky they were by clapping them together while being less easily able to separate them again. [color=olive]"Now if that's all, my food is gettin' cold. Gimme your card and I'll call if I remember anythin' else."[/color] The officer blinked and left a card on the side table before departing. Lorna shook her head and got herself comfortable on the sofa again before stuffing her face with every ounce of meat that she could.[hr]
