The Interrogation

   For a few days Jaxion would spend as much time as he could reading those books and taking notes, teaching Shade some of the basics in these books. They were about robbery, criminals, magic, police, banks, fire, anything he thought he may need to know about for his revenge. He even found out everything he could about his former boss and managers!

   Then, on the 5th day after the robbery, the police came knocking on the door. Luckily Jaxion was able to hide the books in a secret safe under the chair quickly before opening the door and greeting them. "Oh, hello officers! What may be the reason for the visit? Nothing of pleasure I presume, but could I get you a drink in any case?"

   They seemed slightly surprised by his greeting, declining the drinks. As Jaxion let them in he studied them, they were looking around the room a bit. "Is there perhaps anywhere we could sit? We have to ask you some questions."

   He nodded and showed them to the table, motioning them to sit down. They did so, and he sat next to them, Shade following him. The one who had spoken so far was like most elves fair skinned and tall, how tall he couldn't exactly tell, but as usual in the 6 or 7 foot range. The other one certainly seemed to be in the 7 foot range and his partner was a bit shorter, so 6 foot. The around 6 foot elf who had spoken had below shoulder length light blue hair and deep blue eyes. The around 7 foot elf had a dark brown hair with light brown eyes, these two must find some fun in matching their colors so well.

   Their outfits were the customary blue and black officer clothing with the belt of needed items, in the brown-haired one's hands was a recorder which he had unclipped from his belt, and the other one had taken a small notebook and pencil from the black case he had laid down on the table. "My name is Salair, and this is Ethan," he said as he gestured at him and his partner.

   "Nice to meet you," Jaxion said, still smiling politely. "What may these questions be? Will I be updated on the case since I got fired because of it? I only think it is fair, isn't that right officers?"

   Ethan frowned slightly as Salair nodded. "Yes, you'll have an update, we'll give you that right now." The recording device had already been turned on from the moment Jaxion started talking, and Salair continued. "The case is still unresolved, and there hasn't been any evidence we can find other than the fact that you were the last person there, the last person interacting with the crystal, and therefore generally the prime suspect. There is no evidence of anyone breaking in and so it must have been someone with all the security and information needed."

   He leaned forward in his seat and stared intensely at Jaxion. "There is, however, no record on you, no sign of you having actually stolen the crystal. We cannot find proper physical evidence and there seem to be no witnesses, except you and the crystal owner. They think you have done it, as does everyone else. At this rate this case will wind up either unresolved or with you behind bars, so we are going to ask you questions to see if we can confirm or alter these routes."

   Jaxion was frowning, clearly unhappy with this. He sighed and motioned for them to go on.

   Ethan spoke up to ask the questions. "Where were you last night after the bank closed?"

   "I was here at home. I cooked dinner, read, and slept as I usually do. I can prove this to you with a recording from the security tapes if you would like. Speaking of which, why can't the security tapes at the bank show who did it?" he asked curiously.

   Ethan spoke up again as Salair opened his mouth to speak- then closed it when Ethan spoke up. "As we stated earlier the person who robbed the bank had control over the security and any information needed. The security cameras were turned off during the time of the robbery." Salair nodded his head quickly in affirmation and Jaxion nodded his slowly in contemplation.

   "I see... Anything else I need to be asked?"

   They said they did and continued with the interview, after which Jaxion brought them a recording of his night at home from the time the bank was robbed. They said goodbye and left, telling Jaxion that since he has undeniable proof he wasn't at the crime scene he won't be a suspect much longer. He smiled and thanked them, sending them on their way before closing the door and taking his books back out, continuing to read with Shade by his side.
