The older of the two men took the piece of paper from the young lady, and slipped it between the layers of his notpad. Officer Green stood nearby, watching quietly. That is until the young woman's sarcasm caught him off guard. He stifled a chuckle, which gurgled for a moment in his throat before dying in his nose.<br/><br/>Officer Morris was also taken aback by this woman's cheery nature. For a moment he had forgotten that the rest of the world didn't always have such unsettling highlights in their careers. He forced a smile and replied, "I believe you may want to sit down for this Ma'am. The information I am about to disclose to you will be done so, only for your safety."<br/><br/>Green shuffled his feet awkwardly. A lump caught in his throat. It had been a hard few months since he moved to this blink of a town. At least he thought it had until he started his morning today. The whelp of a man thought to deeply about the loneliness of it all. The elderly man that had outlived both his wife and darling boy, assumed paying respects to his family, murdered. His thought drifted off, and his older partner's voice fell into distant echos.<br/><br/>"As you may already know, here has been a fatal assult on a member of our community. Miss, did you happen to know any one by the name of Peter Cross?" Morris was doing his best to not raise alarm. Perhaps if he lead her to believe the danger wasn't necessarily imminent, she would be more level headed and better at answering questions. Morris shook in his core, but the disheartening situation caused no effect on his physical appearance. He had to keep it together, had to remain solid... for the rookie Green, and most importantly Mr. Cross.
