Chapter 4

"Hey Arthur and…other guy. I was wondering if you were going to make it down to the station today," Alfred welcomed from his desk as he watched Arthur and Alastair walk into the police station. The place at first looked normal for the middle of the day, but there did seem to be a strange charge in the air effecting the other officers. Many of them looked nervous or stressed, while others looked almost as if they wanted people to think they were busier than normal.

"Hello Alfred, I heard about the group on the news last night and was curious. Are they still holding the older and younger Vargas brothers on suspicion?" Arthur asked.

"The werewolves ya. We were told to let their friend Antonio go, however. Why, you want to talk to them or something?" Alfred asked.

"And am I right in assuming that no one was sent to actually talk with Francis or the other victims about all of this?" Arthur asked in thought.

"We called the Edelstein guy and the mayor, but apparently they had nothing bad to say about the werewolves and demanded that they be set free. That was when my boss agreed to release Antonio. It is kind of weird though, I mean, when I asked about us talking to that Francis guy also my boss said that he was told not to interrupt anyone. But out of that entire case Francis was one of the few who we could actually peg with anything if we wanted to. I mean, nothing against the guy but this all just seems kind of weird," Alfred explained.

"Not really. It's obvious whoever is pulling the strings of this place has it out for those werewolves; just the werewolves," Alastair commented.

"Still seems wrong though. I mean, we told those guys that they were off the hook and now this is happening. Heroes like me are not supposed to lie to people," Alfred complained.

"Perhaps I should talk to your boss about all this. Where exactly is he?" Arthur offered as he looked around the station for the man.

"He left a little while ago to see about getting the last brother. The man has totally turned into a Bragsinki supporter and it's creeping me out. He's practically acting like his little lap dog!" Alfred answered.

"Well then depending on that mayor or yours mood yer boss should be back soon. After all, it looked like that pup was waiting for this to happen," Alastair commented.

"Until then, is it alright for us to talk to the other two?" Arthur asked. Alfred shrugged at this and led them to the holding cell containing the werewolves. Neither of the Vargas brothers looked pleased to see them, but nodded a greeting to them regardless.

"So are you going to get us out of here?" Sebo asked bluntly.

Arthur sighed as he thought, only to then reply, "At the moment, no, but that will most likely change after your brother joins you and I talk a bit with some of my other friends."

"Great, more friends of yours. And why should we trust you or your friends now?" Lovino asked defensively.

"Look, whoever had you arrested is after you three specifically. Don't you think that it was odd that they released your human friend but kept you? And that the police themselves seem confused on all of this? Don't you two even talk with the other supernatural in the city?" Arthur asked, only to shake his head dismayed by their blank stares at him.

"Did the mayor really agree to have Feli join us here? I would have thought that he was protecting our brother," Sebo asked after a long pause.

"From what we were told officers were just sent to collect him, with the mayor's blessing or not. But from what we saw when we were at the mayor's office earlier it looked like your brother wanted to join you two desperately," Arthur answered.

As if on cue, the doors to the holding area opened as two officers lead Feliciano to his brothers. The middle brother looked happy to see that his brothers looked alright, albeit in jail, and happily joined them.

"What the hell do you think you're doing here you idiot?!" Lovino yelled at Feliciano.

"I don't know fratello, but I just felt that it was wrong for you two to be here and me free. So when they came to collect me I decided to not put up any fight," Feliciano answered. Most people in his situation would have looked worried, but Feliciano was too happy to see his brothers to worry about anything.

He then looked over to Arthur and Alastair and asked, "So then are you guys really going to try and help us? That would be fantastic!"

"I'll see what I can do, but for now I need to leave. I'll ask a police officer I know to call me if they decide to change anything for you three, alright?" Arthur answered then turned to leave. Everything was starting to feel like one long run for him and he felt nowhere near the goal.

As he and his brother left for the front of the station, he suddenly paused as he heard someone around the corner say, "So now the three to charge with those attacks have been caught, and I will of course prosecute them. The city already feels a bit cleaner, but there is still another bothersome ghost to get rid of. This will be interesting, since I don't know if anyone has ever found a ghost guilty of murder."

"By the end of all this our idea of cleaning up all of these strange cases seems almost possible," another voice which Arthur recognized as the commissioner commented.

"Yes, but sadly we will have to be patient, our next case to close will be a lot tougher than those three pups," the first voice, who Arthur assumed was this Ivan Bragsinki person he was supposed to investigate replied. Curious, Arthur looked around the corner to catch a brief look at the man. He possessed a tall and well-built body which could intimidate some, and Arthur had to admit that how he talked was more than creepy.

"I see…don't worry. When the time is deemed right we will help you to make sure that the ghost does not escape justice."

"Good. I was hoping that you would," Ivan paused here to smile briefly in Arthur's direction then left with, "I have some work to do so until then."

Once Arthur was sure that the man and the commissioner were gone he and his brother continued down the hallway and out of the station. As they left, Arthur looked around them before he pulled out his cellphone. While he did this Alastair commented, "Well if things don't just get more and more interesting. I got to admit, I'm very happy that I agreed to give ye yer inspection now."

"So then you felt it too? Remember, I already told you to not destroy my city," Arthur warned.

"Aye, aye. I'll keep the old habits at bay. But as long as we're going around how about we find a place with a kitchen for lunch?"

We'll stop here for now
