[QUOTE="Rybaer, post: 1579333, member: 118"] The Hightower Convention Center Ballroom, Downtown, Coast City April 16 21:52 Detective Redmond continues to probe Jorgi for details, casually disregarding his suggestive comment. Her questions are succinct and she seems satisfied with his version of the story. "Well, thank you for your statement," she says while closing her notepad. "I don't know how this will pan out legally, though I don't foresee any criminal charges coming against you for your actions. Enough of it was caught on video tape that the case should be pretty clear. I'll be in touch if we need any more information." The detective takes her leave and Marie slides right into the vacated seat. She hands a tall soda with ice over. "Didn't want to interrupt while you were talking to the police," she says. "Brought you a Coke...hope that's alright." ***** Detective Blake listens to Lawrence's story, jotting down notes and listening for every detail. He asks a few directed questions and verifies spelling, but mostly just lets the story come out. When Lawrence finishes, the detective ponders for a minunte. "Well, it's possible there could be a little trouble for you, but probably not from your actions here at the convention center. The stuff here, while not the sort of thing civilians are encouraged to do, will probably be looked upon as a good samaritan sort of act. "The matter in the alley, however, might lead to trouble for you. We'll have to investigate that a little more thoroughly. If it was the mob that you tangled with, they might seek to retaliate or otherwise pressure you." He hands Lawrence a business card. "If anything like that happens, I need you to let me know right away. So don't lose this." The detective takes his leave with a polite nod. ***** Sandra smiles. "Yeah, I'd like that. I'm sure Maggie can hook you up with my number." "Sweet girl, isn't she?" Maggie says with a wry grin as Sandra walks off in search of her other associates. "It's a shame she's so much younger than you." Steven, in casting the occasional glance around the room, notices that the detectives questioning the other two metahumans both seem to have wrapped up. The spider swarm boy is eating pizza alone at a nearby table and the lightning flinger is also sitting nearby...though a girl (employee?) has just joined him. ***** The bartender, a guy of probably about the same age as Thomas, is already sliding him another drink. He gives him a knowing look. "Looks like you're going to stretch that dude's hundred tonight," he says. "You know, if you're hard up, I could set you up with my cousin. She's halfway cute and might be into your type. Last guy she dated thought he was a vampire or something like that. Don't think she's seeing anyone right now." [/QUOTE]
