Mischief Arrives (Ch.116)

It was early evening in the Evercrest City and in a private room within the ever busy police department, a man was sitting across the table from a detective and he was being insistently questioned.

His head was hung low, hiding his eyes from view and for the past hour, not a single word had been uttered from his lips even in the light of the detective's demanding questions.

It was unclear whether the man could hear the questions of the detective and chose to ignore him or was so stuck in his own mind that he could not hear the words of the detective at all.

But whichever the case was, the man's silence only served to infuriate the detective even further.

"Mr Richard! Does this look like a joke to you?!" The detective demanded in a fierce tone as he slammed a hand down on the table.

What the detective detested the most was witnessing such ruthless criminals begin to play the part of the victim yet it seemed they always did it.
