A tense moment of silence followed, the other Turk finished a bite of lettuce before pushing his plate forward slightly all the while he stared at the detective. Benedict spoke, his words measured "[color=B19666]If you know me detective, you know that there is reason enough.[/color]" the inspector answered cooly. It was at this point the other patrons were trickling out the door, the restaurant was filled with a tension that was as tight as the hangman's noose.

Benedict adjusted the spectacles upon his face, glinting slightly "[color=B19666]Suspicion is not enough to warrant arrest,[/color]" he said, almost like he were quoting something "[color=B19666]Though Mr. Hasegawa I am sure you knew that...Tell me Mr. Hasegawa, as a colleague are you not bound by oath to assist your fellow officers if they require it?[/color]" he knew better than any of Zenkichi's zeal to uphold the law and how devoted to his job he was, he even knew the man had his own issues though it were never Benedict's place to ask.

But he knew the right buttons to press, all he needed to do was be careful not to poke at all the dents in his fellow Turk's armor "[color=B19666]I will not interfere if you must proceed with the arrest as it is your job but I must ask one thing; let these people explain their situation.[/color]" Benedict asked Zenkichi, he hoped that if the detective could understand the Seekers then maybe he could be convinced to help them.

"[color=B19666]Midgar's problems aren't their's, I fear that the city has been corrupted from within.[/color]" Hasegawa was a man who hated the corrupt, Benedict knew as much and he would use that to make the detective have a bit of an open mind. 

It was a gamble but if he was to gain the detective's help he would need to take any opportunity he could.
