Message: <blockquote data-quote="The Crimster" data-source="post: 197997" data-attributes="member: 2511">The flashes of light from the cameras in the other rooms seems to be tapering off.  The Crime Scene Investigators have already put away their tape measures, camcorders, and scribbled notes.  The bodies of Sam and one of the intruders are long gone.  The photographs taken of the splashes of blood on the wall and floor will no doubt be filed away somewhere, evidence against the day when a finger can be properly pointed at those responsible.In the kitchen, the coffee pot gurgles cheerily despite the late hour.  It is the 3rd carafe of coffee that Julia has made for the hordes of policemen that have descended on her home.  They have been polite but insistent in their questioning, despite the fact that one of their own was just zipped up in a black body bag and taken to the morgue.  Though they did not know Sam, there is a brotherhood among police that transcends whether you know a particular fallen officer.  These police are no different, and there is a grimness to them that does not bode well if they capture the ‘perp’.  When Ted was taken away in cuffs, he had little to say.  He almost seemed embarrassed when he walked past Julia.  Her eyes stared into his back, but she said nothing.  The police took him out into the rain and into a waiting car.  He is most likely now being interrogated at the Bel-Air police station.One of the officers, Sgt. Herbert Canter, still sits at the kitchen table, going over the statements each of you gave him.Sgt. Canter sighs heavily, and drains the dregs of his coffee cup.  He is an older man, in his mid-forties, with gray around his temples and a weariness that seems bone deep.  He places a report in front of each of you and taps it.“So… these are your official statements, then?”OOC: Give me a brief or summarized statement that you would have given the police about what has happened here.  Feel free to talk amongst yourselves first about what you will say – we can assume that as the police began to arrive you quickly talked among yourselves about a believable story.  Things you may want to decide if you will include in your statement include the cemetery; Alister; the demon bees; the world in the desk drawer; the note to Alan from a student; the crank phone call; disappearing Bobby; the i society; etc.  FYI:  I will be gone until Monday morning – taking a wee vacation down to Miami!</blockquote>
