Chapter 21: The Interrogation
Its light was neither yellow nor green, casting a faint glow on the plump face of a man in his late forties. The man's face was calm but from the side of the mirror, Ravi could see the beads of sweat on his forehead, they had been here for less than a minute and the man had already changed positions of the hard chair twice.
"I would go in and interrogate the suspect. It should not take me long." Arlen looked like he was talking to the two of them but his primary gaze was on Ravi. Ravi hoped that he was not planning to ask him to interrogate the man.
The Davenport Police Bureau was a paper tiger. The district always sent a teacher every six months for some training but it was always someone who did not truly know what he was set to do and they would just learn in theory, never practical.
They had interrogated thieves and jaywalkers and stuff like that but never truly a real criminal if you could call the owner of a small gambling den in one of the smallest towns in Avalon, a criminal.
Arlen walked into the interrogation room and Sarah walked towards him. The middle-aged woman has always been calm but now she had an unmistakable excitement in her eyes.
"Officer West, you came to watch." She said as she tried to put a communication device in her ear, she failed spectacularly. She gazed at Ravi who looked away.
"Yes, I came to watch. You are putting it upside down."
She turned it upside down and it connected properly, "I wonder where Captain got this communicator from."
The word Captain made Ravi turn and face her, he was curious, "Why did he give you the communicator?"
