Kitty pulled Dukes arm roughly out of the small office area into a hidden area. "Sorry I got here late, what did she ask you? She is not assuming anything-" Kitty frantically asked. "Relax, she doesn't assume anything I avoided the questions." The Bareclooth said folding his arms. "Phew, OK... she is suspicious so stay low. No going out tonight as you know who, got it Bib?" Kitty said relaxed. Duke shook his head 'yes' "Got it, Gangsta!" Duke said happily. Kitty and Duke walked back into the main hall and started setting up the papers to transfer Duke to another bank.

Meanwhile Sass, the Detective, was questioning the manager and co-manager about the what they knew. She went on for thirty minutes not getting much information, just about how bank always smelt like cheese.
She laid back and let out a sigh, "OK, We have been here for half an hour... I have only a few questions left... tell me everyone who can enter that vault or who has the code." She said with notebook in paw and pen in other.
The larger turtle said slowly, "Only few are allowed in there me, the co-manager, the janitor, and the intern." She wrote it down quickly then looked up. "Why does the intern and janitor have access to it? They shouldn't really have no need to go in there..." She said a bit confused.
"Well the janitor goes in there to clean, Serge is his name. And the intern... well we had a truck come in a couple of weeks back and needed to put some more money in but I'm already 60 years old and can't over do it 'ya know? So the intern was nice enough to offer to load up the vault." Said Glen the manager.
She didn't understand how easily he just hands out the code. "Anyone else know the code, sir?" She asked. Glen shook his head 'no'. "OK, so I only have one more person to question, the janitor. But first how long has he worked here?" She asked. "He has worked in most banks, he as been transfered a lot because of the criminal, but if all counted up around 5 years." The co-manager, Fred, said quickly. He seemed to talk quicker then Glen. She wrote it all down, stood to shake there claws and they left.

The janitor entered next. He seemed calm, if anything annoyed. He was some kinda dog with floppy ears but scruffy and had antlers. He had brown, red-ish fur but his chest and under his chin was tan. And bright green eyes wearing a old dark green jump suit that was stitched up. He sat down with his arms crossed in annoyance as if he had somewhere else to be.

As usual Sass introduced herself friendly as she could. She tried to get as much information out with out getting rough like other detectives, she however regret not getting enough with the intern. She knew he knew something but avoided the question s to much.

She put out her paw for a pawshake, "Hello, I'm Detective Sass I am here to investigate some stuff." The red-ish dog, looking around 24, just glared at her. "Will this take long? I got somewhere to be, for my brother..." He said still upset. She pulled her paw back feeling awkward but continued on with the questions. "Very well then, do you recall anything odd on the day of the-" before she could finish he spoke over her. "I saw nothing odd during, after, or before the robbery...." He said still grumpy. She looked at him a tad surprised but continued. "OK.... Is it true you have the code to the vault?" She asked quicker so he doesn't interrupt. He shook hi ahead 'yes' then explained, "Yes, I go in every three days to clean." He said upset.
He was very nervous, different from the intern though, he seemed like he was on a timed schedule or really did need somewhere important to go to.

As he was sitting there his left foot was thumping the ground, his paws were also tapping his arms while crossed. She could tel all of this and saw it as a opportunity to get more information out of him. "Why exactly do you have to clean in the vault? And when was the last time you were in it?" The bat eared fox asked. "Because the boss told me I needed to, I don't even know why! If I had a choice I wouldn't go in there at all,just to avoid all this shiz." He yelled throwing his paws up. "And I went in there last, er...Tuesday." He calmed down a bit.

He seemed like a loose cannon unable to control his anger. "Tuesday?...Wait! That was the day of the robbery! What time did you go in and what did look like?" She leaned over the table in suspense. He just glared and pushed his chair back. "At 9:40 in the morning. And nothing."
The sassy bat eared fox turned her head in confusion. "Nothing? What do you mean 'nothing'? He got more annoyed by her asking. "Like Nothing! No money, it was completely empty! Nothing, zip, zero!" He shouted. "What?! Why didn't you contact police or your manager at least?!" She was in disbelief hearing this. He shrugged his shoulders. "I dunno. I thought the manager took it all out, and if it was a robbery I didn't want them assuming it was me. Plus I didn't feel like it." He said annoyed but calm. "You do know I'm still gonna charge you for not reporting this right?" She quickly wrote it all down. "What? I didn't do shiz! I gotta go can we end this already?!" He said standing up. He was eager to leave. "Fine you go for your brother but I am still charging you." She said not looking up. He growled angry and stomped out, his antler hitting the door way.

She questioned the other workers as well. About five others but all said nothing about it. But oddly they all kept complaining about the cheese smell too. Luckily the when she questioned them it was very quick.

She was just about done for today. But she only had one more question for Glen. So the detective ran to the front of the bank to speak with him. "Ahh hello detective. Anything you need?" He greeted. "Yes, I have one more question, why does the janitor clean the vault?..." She asked confused. The big turtle scratched his head thinking then replied, "I'm not sure, like I said everyone has been complaining about a cheese smell and the intern thought maybe cleaning the vault was a good idea." She didn't understand how easily he took commands from his employees. "What is with everyone and that cheese?..." She whispered to herself. "Well OK thanks, I'm going for tonight. I will be back soon though. Goodbye!" She thanked and started walk off inside to gather her supplies. "Goodbye!" Glen replied.
