"Were you related to the victim at all?" The police officer asked.
[color=green]"No sir. I was just walking by when I saw it happen."[/color] Stephan replied.
"You say there was a third man."
[color=green]"Maybe. He ran off as soon as I got here. Didn't get a good look at him."[/color]
"And... your hand?"
[color=green]"Helped my uncle repaint his house. I accidentally dipped my hand in the bucket; it doesn't really come off easy."[/color]
The policeman scribbled in his book some more before moving back towards his car.
"I'm off to get these 2 to the station. You stay out of trouble from now on, you hear?" He said to Stephan.
[color=green]"Will do, officer."[/color] Stephan said.
He watched as the car pulled out of the street and retreated back the way it came. He turned and walked back into the alley as he contemplated the night's events. The police had taken the bat which was fair enough, although he wasn't sure it would help much considering Stephan's fingerprints were all over it. The girl had gone, which was unfortunate considering he'd wanted to ask her about her hand. It had been very similar to his, and judging by the way she reacted to it, they may have had similar experiences. Still, she'd left something behind and Stephan was going to pick it up. A pair of gloves, likely to hide her own red hand. As he stooped down to retrieve them he was reminded of the glove he'd left behind at the park. He'd go back to pick it up later - there was one more thing he wanted to check out tonight.

Stephan walked out of the alley, glancing left and right. He began going in a direction that he figured the car crash would be. That wasn;t his current objective, however. When he'd interfered with that situation he'd glanced a man going by out of the corner of his eye. His gait implied that he was perhaps inebriated, or maybe he just wasn't entirely "there". But Stephan could've sworn he'd seen something moving under the man's skin, though when he looked again, the man was normal. From the girl's hand and the prowess she displayed in handling the 2 men, the probability that there were others like him was almost 100%. If so, it was possible that the man was also similar to them. And even if he wasn't, it wasn't like Stephan had anywhere to be at the moment.
