The PD was a bit of a mess, crowds of cops milling about, people shouting for each other in a desperate attempt to get any of their other cases done. You saw some people standing around an open door, a table of mostly eaten doughnuts and pies nearby. Well, at least you could refresh the supply. You spied Officer Butcher and a surly looking Asian woman standing near him. He nodded to you and made room for you to stand.
Officer Butcher- "Morning, doc. Gonna be a big day today."

I placed the box of donuts onto the table near the others and grabbed myself a boston cream. It made me wish I'd gone a bit more out now. My underwhelming donuts. Though somehow I was pretty sure catering was the last thing on their minds. Unless it was a we solved the case and rescued the boy type catering.Edmund- "Goodmorning, officer Butcher. You said it. I hope they're not expecting you to come along? Far too soon. Is this the famous detective Colt?" I turned and smiled friendfully at the surly Asian woman.

Officer Butcher- "Oh yeah, this is my partner Detective Colt."
Detective Colt- "Howdy. And this is Detective Butcher."
Detective (?) Butcher- "Ha, that's right. The big news. And I'm definitely going out, I gotta see this one through."
Detective Colt got summoned away to get grilled on her report again. Butcher went for a Boston cream as well but only took about half a bite.

Edmund- ”Detective? Have you always been one? So sorry I thought it was officer. I feel like an idiot. Are you sure?Well I am here if you need someone to talk to afterwards.” I took a large bite of the donut, savoring the flavors.

Detective Butcher- "Well, I'm a detective as of two days ago! Guess they wanted to bump me up so I could help out on this investigation. Who knew all it took to make detective was to... uh, you know."

Trauma?Possibly unhinging trauma... interesting. Hopefully this didn’t end in tragedy.Edmund- ”Oh good! I wouldn’t want to be some ninny calling you by the wrong title. I am nothing if not professional. I hope you get a nice pay rise to boot. So do you know what we’re being briefed on? Extra details or just rereading the reports?”

Detective Butcher- "I think just the overview for those in the back row. You've been paying attention so shouldn't be too much-- oh, there are actually a few changes, some new information. Me and Colt have been pretty busy. Otherwise it's just watching the Powerpoint and getting the itinerary.
You been up to anything new? How's the book? Looking forward to that glowing description of the handsome detective who led you through the crime scene. "

PktfJEO1+ 2 This donut really was good...Edmund- ”Iternary. Fun. Oh of course it’s coming along. ‘Joseph Butcher, a cop with an unusual inner strength still haunted by his ordeal’. Unfortunately it’s not that kind of book. Perhaps you could think of an actor you would like to play you if it becomes a movie?” ·

Detective Butcher- "It'll probably be Harry Potter, won't it? Haha... But my eyes are brown. Anyway... You get one of these packets yet?"
He handed you a giant manilla folder. Looked about as thick as a voter's pamphlet. Homework...
You'd already read some of the information but Detective Colt's report was new. Too bad you couldn't click any of those hyperlinks.
Detective Butcher- "Anything you're curious about?"

I took the folder and skimmed through a bit before putting it in my satchel.Edmund- ”Ha! There’s always contacts. No I didn’t thanks. Is there any information available from the hyperlinks? It sounds like his whole life was building up to this, perhaps we can cross off the ship as a catalyst. Are you worried about further investigations into your statement?”

Detective Butcher- "Further investigation? God, I hope not. Guess there's only so much a guy can remember when he's hit on the noggin so I don't think they'll get much else out of me unless they've got some very cool technology.
As for the packets, yeah, I guess you gotta use the system in here to access those links. Mostly it's photos from the scenes, some links to earlier reports. Mostly stuff you already read or probably wouldn't want to see. Oh-- Rodriguez said you were interested in what Mills was drawing on the table that one time. We did some investigation about it. Think we got a couple minutes while they wait for stragglers. Want to see what we found?"

I swallowed another mouthful of donut before answering.Edmund- ”I would love TO! Yes! I was very interested in what he was drawing. It seemed so important to him. Unless it was penises or something, then I don't care so much.”

Detective Butcher- "Ha I sure wondered myself. I've got some of the pictures on my phone."
He fiddled with it for a minute as swarms of people moved around you,
bumping into him far more than they bumped into you. He didn't seem to care. Detective Butcher- "Here, sorry they're not too useful. Well, unless you minored in symbology."
He passed you the phone, an image gallery was loaded. The first several
images seemed to be puzzle pieces of different configurations. Detective Butcher- "We tried to get him to do a puzzle later. He was very interested but said 'it wasn't the right one.' Whatever that means..."
The final image in the gallery was the most elaborate. An unknown design, a circle with a symbol in the middle that was reminiscent of a harp.

I leaned in closer to have a look. I had to resistt snatching his phone. This was the image I had wanted, I could feel my heart beating. Did I know what it meant? Heck no but it was perfect to gain interest as a cover. I would certainly try to learn what it meant to Timothy.Edmund- "Has anyone asked Mills what they mean? Shown them to him? I would love it if you could send me these. They'd uh be very useful in sessions with him. I wonder if we could reverse google search them, just in case."
