He was fairly certain that it would take a bit to break this sniper because the man hadn't confessed right away which meant he probably didn't intend to. Luke could still see hear that explosion, see the building on fire and be informed that a sniper's rifle had been left up top, pointing directly at the stage the politician had been speaking on. It was all very well set up and it wasn't lost on them that perhaps the sniper had been set up which was a possibility but there was also just as good a chance that the sniper was behind the attack.<br/><br/>So they had to proceed carefully. In order to find out what was going on here. First he was going to approach this as though the sniper was guilty. Once he got information from that angle he would alter his technique as though he believed the sniper was not guilty. Then he would compare notes with Marsha and figure out what truth they could gleam from them and proceed accordingly as to whether they thought he was more guilty or more innocent. It was a tried and true technique that they had always done which usually resulted in a win for them.<br/><br/>There was no reason why it wouldn't work this time as well. Yes, there was room for error but why think pessimistically? Luke let his eyes fix on John Ghrist as the sniper responded to his questions in a cocky manner and he narrowed his eyes at him. "Don't make this more difficult than it has to be. Tell me what I want to know and we can proceed. Do you want to be locked up for the rest of your life for a crime you may or may not have committed? That can happen if you don't cooperate."<br/><br/>Luke warned him and opened his file as he skimmed the contents, noting his name and the names of his team members along with his back history, credit report and everything else essential in a background investigation. He had a purpose for doing what he was doing. All that Ghrist had to do was cooperate. If he didn't...well Marsha would have a shot in a few minutes and if she didn't do too well he would have to resort to more extreme measures for this was a serious crime and if the only way to make him talk was to get under his skin, Luke would do that.<br/><br/>He got a page from his beeper and he looked down at it to see that it was his partner who had just arrived and he glanced up at Ghrist who didn't seem as though he would be cooperating anytime soon so why not step outside and get Marsha up to speed first? The guy could think about what he had just said. "Excuse me for a moment. Think about what I just said and I'll get back to you." Luke told him and headed for the door, knocking on it as a guard came over to let him out, warily looking at the sniper as he made sure the other wasn't going to make a run for it when the door opened.<br/><br/>Obviously this man did not trust Ghrist. Luke came out to see Marsha waiting for him and cleared his throat. "Marsha. Glad you could make it. What did they brief you on?" He asked, wondering how much she knew about the case already.
