The rookie police office blinked, part of her wondering if the squad was pulling a prank on her or something. "Is there, anything else Mr. Maxwell?"
He paused in thought then answered with a smile. "Nope, that covers everything. Anything else I can do to help?"
"No, that will be enough Mr Maxwell, thank you for your cooperation."
"No, thank you, no one ever calls me 'Mr.' anything!" Duo's grin was about a mile long at this point, enjoying the brief moments of respect he received.
"Duo, if your done get over here already." Near the exit another man called over while looking very impatient.
"See what I mean? Bye bye, have a nice day." Duo called out over his shoulder while moving to another part of the store.
Officer Smith sighed. She had gotten the same story from the other man. This is why they warned her things were never easy with an eyewitness. They come up with the strangest things. Who was going to believe that two attempted jewel thieves suddenly decided to knock themselves out?
She watched the two exiting the store after getting clearance from another officer. The first one she had spoken to, a Mr Yuy, was holding a store bag. They had come her for the sake of purchasing some necklace for his wife's birthday. When she had asked if the jewel thieves had tried to take it he replied they had never touched it. So he was allowed to keep it as it was not evidence.
Outside Duo was stretching his arms, enjoying the feel of the warm sunshine after being in the cold store for the past hour. "That police lady was nice but she was strange. I mean why would it be so hard to believe you took out a couple of wannabe thieves? She didn't even ask me a single question about how you managed to do it!"
"I really don't care Duo, if they don't want to know I'm just going home instead of answering a bunch of stupid questions. They got their thieves red handed and I guess that's enough for them." Heero opened his car door and climbed inside. If he never had to hear another word about this day he would be happier for it.
"I see your point, it just seems like if you have an eyewitness to something you ought to at least ask them about their background. By the way that was a really nice move with the manikin head back there, I never would have thought to use it like that." Heero sighed, this was a very long day.
