The missing Father (#1 in the series)

I get questioned by the Inspector

When we were at the police station, Goodfellow showed me to the room.

"No, Toothless I think you should stay here. What if you start defending me and end up making a scene?". I said to him, giving Toothless something to think about. 

I walked in and saw the Inspector, as I sat down on the chair he was giving me evil glares, which was making me feel uncomfortable.

"Let's start with the nice and easy questions shall we". Inspector Mallory said.

I gulped, what if there was questions I didn't have answers to?

"What a coincidence that Padre has to go missing when you come here". He noted.

"I have nothing to do with him going missing". I blurted out.

"So did you find anything up there?". He asked.

I sat in silence, I wasn't even making eye contact I just kept looking at the floor.

"We can play this the hard way or the easy way, your choice". Mallory said.

"Ok ok, I didn't find anything, next question". I answered.

"You were one of the last people to see him, and you also found a piece of evidence which wasn't really helpful". The inspector noted.

"I didn't find it Toothless did". I said.

"Yes your 'dragon' friend". He said the word dragon like it didn't believed it was Toothless was an actual dragon.

"Goodfellow had told me that Mrs McCarthy had confirmed it was his handwriting?". Mallory asked.

I nodded, I was about to tell him about how it could just try and throw us off the trail, but I decided to keep that to myself and the others.

"When did you see him last?". The inspector asked.

"Around half past seven, before I went to bed-". I said before being cut off.

"Any witnesses?".

"Yes Toothless, so that means I left Father Brown with Mrs McCarthy". I continued.

"Yes, she said she went home, a few minutes after you went upstairs".

"But if he were to sneak out of the house Toothless would have heard him". I suggested. "Toothless wakes up to almost any sudden noise".

"So he is high alert?". Inspector Mallory was being to write the information down.

I nodded, why didn't I think off that before. Then I could here scratching on the door from the outside.

"Toothless if that's you, just wait a bit longer ok, I'll be out soon I promise". I said.

Inspector Mallory got up from his chair. "Don't think about going anywhere". He warned.

He opened the door, and looked at the dragon. "Goodfellow". He demanded. "Can you keep this thing distracted?".

"Ok sir, come on dragon why don't we go in here". Goodfellow said taking him into the inspector's office.

"His name is Toothless". I noted.

Mallory closed the door and went back down to sit in his chair, and sighed. We went back to what we were doing before being interrupted.

While the questions were still being asked, the others were out looking in the towns near Kembleford. Sid had dropped off Lady Felicia in one of the towns, and he went to another one. Which meant there was one village left to search.

Toothless was sitting inside inspector Mallory's office waiting for me, Goodfellow came in once in a while to check on him.

"Toothless, that is your name right?". Goodfellow asked.

Toothless nodded he then started to look around the room.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you". The Sgt warned.

Toothless could see the inspectors hat hanging up, and decided to take it down when Goodfellow wasn't looking, and put it on his head.

Back in the interrogation room, inspector Mallory got fed up of asking questions. Which was a relief, because I was starting to run out of answers.

"You should probably get going your 'dragon' friend will be worrying". He said.

We walked out of the room, I forgot how dark it was in the room, because when I came out I was getting blinded by the lights.

"Where's Toothless?". I asked.

"In there". The Sgt pointed.

"Not in my office". Mallory said rushing in I followed him.

Toothless was under the desk, trying to hide he had the inspectors hat on, but Mallory didn't seem to notice.

"What are you detective Toothless". I said taking the hat of him. "Come on bud lets go to the house shall we".

"What's he doing with that?". Inspector Mallory demanded grabbing the his hat out of my hands.

"Just pretending to be like you". I answered Toothless and I walked out of his office.

"Thanks for looking after him, hope he wasn't to much bother". I thanked Goodfellow.

"No he wasn't in fact he is a nice creature". Goodfellow replied.

We came out of the station, I got on Toothless and we flew into the sky to the church.
