Since always! [ frustrated noises! ] Goddamnit! Why can't you let me have this, the man is dead!

[godhole]

Exactly! Why don't you try showing him a little respect?

[very_good_end]

... Is he?

[laterboners]

Wow, you are still here. Yes. Definitely dead. How did you miss that?

[very_good_end]

Indeed I am. Is there a problem?

Actually, that's my next question. We were provided with images of one death of Detective Jake Peralta and Sergeant Terry Jeffords... assuming one of those is the 'beefy cop' you are referring to and not some other police detectives here.

We were not, however, provided with an examinable corpse from which to provide us the natural conclusion that both, or either, of those men, expired. Therefore, their death can't be completely verified. ...That's true of Kirei Kotomine and a few others, as well.

Therefore, my question is, did you have some other proof presented to you that either of these two cops, Detective Jake Peralta or Sergeant Terry Jeffords, died?

That was what I was curious about... of course.

[godhole]

Wait, wait, hold the phone. You're supposed to be a detective, and you can't even tell which cop was the beefy one?

[very_good_end]

...Well, assuming 'beefy' translates to 'bulkier frame,' then that's no doubt referring to Sergeant Terry Jeffords. Am I mistaken?

[godhole]

"Beefy" means muscular, but in a positive, attractive sense. Obviously referring to Terry Jeffords.

[very_good_end]

[she rolls her eyes]

Mhm, obviously. I'm sure that bit of slang will be very relevant. I'll make sure to note, the Reynolds siblings are in mutual agreement that Sergeant Terry Jeffords fits the qualifications of 'beefy'.

[godhole]

Don't be a smartass. This'll be useful when you hit puberty.

[very_good_end]

Wrong.

[really, puberty's hit her as much as it's going to.]

Am I to take it you knew either of these people, then? Before the incident?

[godhole]

The cops? What, are you trying to pin that on me now, too?

[very_good_end]

[well, she's going to since you gave her the idea.]

That would be convenient for you, wouldn't it...? Ah, if Mr. Reynolds happened to meet two cops, a detective and sergeant even, who had been giving him trouble with his shady business practices and other illegal activities... this would be quite the opportunity to do away with them while drawing no suspicion. What sense does it make that their deaths would be shown when the others such as Kotomine Kirei were not, as well?

Do you have anyone to vouch for your location at the time between when either of them were last seen, from when we were presented with the images of their demise?

[laterboners]

[ somewhat deflated ]

I guess I don't then... but Jesus. You want them to leave us a pile of corpses? That is incredibly messed up.

[very_good_end]

[she tilts her head]

Of course. How else do you determine if they're really, truly dead?
