Milo was completely calm, having known this happen. "Do you remember that question I asked you earlier? The hypothetical one? Well, it wasn't hypothetical. There was a similar case to this in my kingdom. Wilkot was a suspect. So was Ava Emri. Now, if you go back and look at the transcript of the words I shared with him, you'll notice that I just got you ten times more information than your detective probably did. Like the fact that Emri hadn't shown up to work for the last week and hasn't been accounted for since then, except at school. And that Wilkot worked with Emri, and noticed that around the same time Emri stopped showing up, a five-inch steak knife was missing. That was the same weapon used on the victim, was it not?" Milo spoke calmly, only his wings twitching as they normally did.
Milo knew he shouldn't have done it, and now addressed that. "I know you're mad at me, but considering I've worked with your suspects before, you should be grateful. Go ahead and kick me off the case, if you want. You'll cause a turf war over the suspects." His wings pushed Aqua away, but not in a forceful manner- simply as a suggestion to back up before he decided she was a threat. "How about we discuss this like civilized beings?"

Maliyov blinked, startled to see Aqua so irritated. He went to check on Marcus, who was just calmly sitting until the detective entered. The agent stood slowly, starting to pace. Maliyov sighed. "Please sit, Marcus. What did Milo want with you anyway?" Marcus sat, scowling a bit. "He just asked for a bit of information you never asked for. The kid's good, I'll give him that. He did record our short conversation, so yeah. He's a smart kid from another kingdom that's already interrogated me once. He knows what he's doing better than-" "Alright. That's enough," Maliyov sighed, cutting the suspect off. He didn't want to hear excuses on the angel's front. The angel probably had done better than he had, but he was more thorough about it instead of taking two seconds. He left the interrogation room and went to speak to the person doing the transcripts.
"Wipe any useful information the angel got from Wilkot. Wipe everything. They must not know," He told the transcriptor, who nodded and did just that.
