Detective Butcher- "We were trying to be sneaky about it, like not telling him we could see what he'd been drawing. Didn't get much useful out of him though so maybe you can think of a better way to do it. I can send it to you, just don't tell him it came from us, he's not a big fan.
We ran the symbol through our databases of logos and whatnot, but didn't turn up anything likely. Mom was into some weird occult stuff so maybe it's something from her. Wish we had a wizard on staff, right? Ha..."

Edmund- "That would be fantastic if you could. Though it sounds like he was her partner in crime. If she wasn't long dead I would say she was his accomplice in this. You really like Harry Potter don't you? So does my daughter. When she's angry with me she says I would be in house Slipperin or something like that. Muggle is another favourite insult. Maybe she'd know hahaha."

Detective Butcher- "Hahaha, no comment about the Harry P, but let's just say I am a millennial..." He forwarded you the picture in all its 8bit BMP glory.

Edmund- "Thanks for those! In my day Frodo Baggins was Harry P. Of course only nerdy kids were into that. I was very cool. Heh. I really wasn’t, I know the smell of being shut inside a locker.”

I couldn't restrain a sour expression at these hijinks.
Detective Colt- "Somethin' about this field trip has a note of finality to it. I doubt we're gonna get much more time to do homework on this shit before it's history, then me and Joe have more pressing things to get into. So are we gonna get on the clock here?"

Detective Butcher- "Oh sure, just shooting the bull while we wait. Doctor Bassett here had some interest in that symbol from the other day."

I smiled friendfully at her again despite her sour expression.It was all I could do to hide my surprise at her appearance again, had I spaced out? Edmund- ”Apologies, as Joe said we were just talking nonsense. It had started on that symbol. I promise you I am very serious about my client’s mental health. Is the briefing starting soon? Is there anything bothering you about it,mam?”

Detective Colt- "We ain't yer clients, and it's all hurry up and wait until word comes down from the L-T. Does it violate confidentiality for us to ask what you think the puzzle pieces are about?"

Joe- "Yeah, we had some theories but we're not the experts."

Edmund- ”Sorry mam. It’s a bit of a habit, even my wife complains. Well I can’t say too much but it has most likely something to do with his religious beliefs in regards to the ritual. Most likely a bit of mental mapping on his behalf. Trying to work out how it all fits. I would need to talk to him and study them more to be honest.What’s your take?”

I sighed slightly. Take it easy, Colt. Don't come off bad today. The spotlight's on.
Detective Colt- "Hell if I know. There was some idea of switching places in his spiel, right? A puzzle piece can be a position for a person, maybe?"

Detective Butcher- "And of course it could just be 'pieces' to the ritual. Maybe they all fit together to make that weird symbol. No damn idea what that's supposed to be though."

Edmund- ”All very valid theories. It was to create a new him or trade places. He says it was a success. So who are we really talking to? Who did he trade with? The boy or the real Joe Butcher?” I realized it wasn’t the best joke right after I said it. I smiled weakly at the scary woman.

I got kinda hot under the collar again.
Detective Colt- "What? You think because Joe was there..? He couldn't've planned for that. Shit."
I had a fleeting thought about Joe's gun, it didn't take root.

Detective Butcher- "Heh, I think he's joking. See, we have a rapport."
