The officer gave Hayato a bit of an odd look; the man was near nude, but didn’t look injured. Certainly didn’t look like he’d been attacked. From the police cruiser the radio chattered out an update about a young man who’d been shot in the head and found in an empty lot, but the older cop silenced it and walked over to join his partner.
[color=royalblue]“Killed your friend?”[/color] He asked, intrigued. [color=royalblue]“What bar were you at?”[/color]
The younger man seemed to tense some and interjected. [color=royalblue]“What’s your name, sir? I don’t suppose you have any ID on you.”[/color]

[color=cc3300]“She can’t speak English!”[/color] Evren explained again, frustrated with the lieutenant. He could see Aava was getting nervous, as if pleading for help she couldn’t articulate a need for. [color=cc3300]“Please. I’m her friend and I can communicate with her; she’s hurt and… very ill, and I just want to take her home.”[/color]
[color=steelblue]“I only want to help you do just that. How did your friend get hurt?”[/color] Detective Lieutenant Merit seemed to finally understand Aava was noncommunicative, but one way or another she wanted answers. Evren took a timid moment to answer her.
[color=cc3300]“The wolf chased us out of town. I carried Aava, and he threw a rock and practically knocked her out.”[/color] He looked beyond the detective for just a moment to stare daggers at Hayato. If the yakuza man wanted to kill him, so be it; but Aava didn’t even understand what was going on. From his perspective, Hayato had no right to harm Aava, and thinking about this quelled his anger and grounded him again with concern for his friend. He opened his mouth to speak again but was interrupted when Beck returned and gave the detective her camera.
Sheridan Merit stood up and took the camera, playing back the footage. An incredibly tense, nearly silent minute passed as she watched with careful eyes, until a muffled gunshot and Beck yelling marked the end of the video. She sighed and looked from the pair on the ground, to Hayato and the beat cops, and finally back to Beck and handed back the camera.
[color=steelblue]“You know we need to take this in as evidence?”[/color]
[color=silver]“Yeah yeah, I’ll take the SD card out.”[/color]
[color=cc3300]“What about us??”[/color] Evren asked, not sounding as calm as he’d have liked. The mention of anything being ‘taken in’ made him uneasy. He took Aava’s hand in his and tried to pull her a bit closer. [color=cc3300]“If you’re taking us anywhere… just take her to a hospital. He hit her in the head.”[/color]
Lieutenant Merit took the SD card from Beck, who pocketed her camera. [color=steelblue]”I saw that, but I don’t think we’re done.”[/color] she directed her attention to the cops. [color=steelblue]”Booth, Holt, cuff both the men. I’ve seen all I need to see here.”[/color]
