Chapter 14

"It's time," Cyrus said deeply, stretching out his long skinny fingers.

"Time for what?" Orin asked, rubbing the dark bruise that had formed on his chin from when Maka head-butt him.

"I want to talk to that girl and get her to sign the contract. The items I ordered have finally arrived and it's best to use them on her now since she's calmed down a bit." Cyrus said with a grin. "Do you want to fetch her or should I ask Raven to-"

"I'll get her!" Orin cut his boss off, pulling on his leather finger-less gloves. "Ya know what Ravens like, he'll make the matter worse." He headed for the door but was stopped when Cyrus threw a pen at his back. "Yes?"

"Take the stuff, you should be able to put her in it. And don't take too long, I don't like being kept waiting." Cyrus sighed before turning away, peering out the small oval window at the snow covered ground.

"Yes sir," Orin said before walking out and closing the door between them; letting out a sigh himself. "Jeez, that girl is gonna get herself killed if she doesn't stop acting up. I bet ya she won't last another day," he scratched his head, walking off down the corridor once he had grabbed the items intended for Maka.

When he turned the corner, he found Raven leaning against the wall, fiddling with his pocket knife. "Hey," he nodded to Orin who smiled back. "Where are you heading?"

"To the cells. Cyrus wants me to collect Maka so he can make her sign the contract of participating in the Battle Zone."

"What's with the stuff?" He pointed at the bunch of items that Orin had been dragging, raising a confused eyebrow.

"It's to hold Maka down or something, I don't really know. But Cyrus said I have to put her in it and I don't have a clue on how to work this thing."

"Do you want me to collect her and put her in it?" Raven asked with a devious smile.

"N-No, it's fine. Ya don't want the hassle off her, I can handle her myself." Orin said.

"Are you-"

"Yeah, I'm sure. Ya got plenty of other stuff to do, so leave it." Orin cut him off with a growl.

"Whatever," Raven grumbled as he walked off, folding the knife back down into its holder and shoving the whole weapon in his pocket. "Good look with the brat."

"Thanks, I'll sure need it."

"So you're saying, that I was the last person who saw Maka Albarn before she was kidnapped?" Stein asked Mr. Harper.

"Yes, that's what Liz Thompson told me the other day. But we can't prove that she was kidnapped yet." The police officer replied from his place on the porch. "May I come in?"

"I would let you come in, but my house isn't very tidy at the moment and you might get lost in my lab," he said with a grin.

"N-No worries," Mr. Harper stuttered when a horrid shiver ran down his spine. "C-Can you please tell me what you were doing last with Maka?"

"Of course," Stein nodded his head. "I gave her a detention when I had her that morning for psychology since she wasn't paying any attention at all."

"Did she arrive at the detention?"

"Yes, she is a good punctual girl. I told her that she only had to stay for twenty minutes since I had an appointment straight after. I asked her to contact her parents about the detention since it was a late one and she did, using her own mobile. I later dismissed her when the time was up," Stein replied.

"Did you see her after that?" Mr. Harper said, finishing off the sentence in his notepad.

"When I was packing away my essentials in the boot of my car, I saw her walk down the road. It was freezing outside so I was surprised that she didn't have a coat of some sort. But that was the last time I saw her since she didn't show up for school the following day."

"OK, thank you for your time, Stein." The officer packed away his pen and pad before walking back to his patrol car and driving back to the station.
