The way he carried himself during the interrogation made her skin crawl. Something was off about this one. He was too calm, too collected compared to the majority of the people brought in here. Him biting his lower lip as if he found his answer amusing, or was it something else? Lyra needed to keep her cool. Cole had to be trying to get in her head.<br/><br/>The more he spoke and the more she looked at those icy blues she felt like she was floating in a trance. Hypnotic... his statement about being a "law abiding citizen" brought her out of it thankfully and the red head let out a short, sarcastic laugh. "Oh I'm sure you're just doing your civic duty, aren't you?" Her tone had turned icy then. It never ended well when criminals reported "crimes." Cole motioned to his pocket with his chin, mentioning The Lions and her heart quivered.<br/><br/>Warily she took the phone out of his pocket, opening the gallery and immediately paled. Her hand flew to snap off the recorder before he could say anything else. "So... that's your game huh?" Lyra shot him a glare that could freeze fire before tossing him the cuff keys. She didn't undo the buttons as he had asked, however, being unable to comply thanks to her own stubbornness.<br/><br/>"Am I to assume these aren't the only copies of the pictures?" She didn't need him to answer, knowing full well they weren't and there would be no point in destroying the phone. A myriad of emotions played behind her emerald pools. Anger, hate, fear. How the hell had she been so careless? She, a detective that had fought so hard to get where she was, and not without stepping on a few toes in the process. Sure, there were others that were known to take bribes, but she wouldn't have the precincts support like they did.<i>This would ruin her</i>.<br/><br/>Exasperated, Lyra folded arms over her chest and glared at the wall, refusing to look at him. "So what? Obviously you expect me to let you go, and you drop this until the next time you're brought in? What the fuck do you want from me?" That had been the very first bribe she took, and it sure as shit was going to be the last. Now she was treading unknown waters, and it felt like she could drown at any moment.
