Into You: Ariana Grande

"Brianna." Lionel turns as I stand by the door. "Please, come in."

"I got the call through dispatch." I enter.

"Oh, I'm so sorry, Brianna. I shouldn't of-"

"You didn't. It's protocol. Just because I'm taking time away from Gotham, doesn't mean I stopped being a cop. I made sure they were careful with Alden. And I'm sorry."

"Thank you." Lex nods.

"You mind if I ask you a few questions?"

"Yeah, sure."

"What time did the reunion start?" I sit down next to him. "Who were you with?" I fix my t-shirt sleeve.

"It was at 3. I was with Lana."

"Were you the last person Alden talked to?" I push some hair out of my face.

"I was. Alden and I talked very briefly, about the old days, then Geoffrey called for him and he said goodbye. We heard a loud crash and went over to the scene. A piece of the statue that fell missed him. Next thing I know, it didn't."

"And you didn't see anything else before it happened? He didn't seem nervous, on edge, anything like that?"

"No." He shakes his head. "Lois and Oliver Queen were there too. But they were with me and Lana when it happened."

"You think it was Geoffrey?" I lean my arms over my knees.

"I don't really know what to think."

"I know. It's okay." I nod. "Just close your eyes." I turn myself fully to face him. "It's something I learned during my internship in Quantico. It's called KIM: Keep In Memory. Helps witnesses recall even the smallest of details. So, if you can..."

"Yeah." Lex closes his eyes.

"Okay. Take a deep breath, in and out. Relax." I saw him inhale and exhale. "Good. Now, walk me through it."

"Um...me and Lana. Oliver and Lois, Alden and Geoffrey. We were just talking, Alden...Alden was drinking."

"Do you know how much he had?" 

"Not any specific amount. But he was more than just tipsy. He was hammering on, and..."

"What? Did he say something that didn't seem like anything but maybe now it does?"

"He...He—" He gasps, making his whole body jump.

"Hey, hey." I grab his arm and his hand lands on my wrist. "It's a vivid recall. It's totally normal. It means it's working. You're okay, Lex." I nod. "You're okay. Just breathe." I squeeze his arm.
