Max Pinnock: shines flashlight on broken window Y-y-you see th-this? Who d-did this? H-how we f-fix it?
points flashlight at Avery You! You were here, weren't you? Did you do this?
You did? Avery, why would you do something like that? Do you know how dangerous it is to break into your own house?
She shrugs her shoulders. Probably a drunk white man or a high schooler
narrows his eyes Well, I won't let that slide. We need to report this and get it fixed immediately. Safety first, you know.
No one did that max I did it
Why would you do something like that, Avery? What purpose does it serve? leans in closer, scrutinizing Avery's face Are you trying to tell me something?
leans closer to Avery, whispering You know, you should really be more careful. This kind of thing could happen to you anywhere.
I run my hands through my hair slightly before turning to face my Brother. Bro... you really came. I'm so... so glad to see you again. I smile widely, clearly missed him. He was my absolute favorite person in the world. I wanted to hug him so badly.
averts eyes, clears throat Yeah, well... it's my job to keep people safe. Can't have this place looking so vulnerable, huh?
She shrugs, looking towards her house.
steps away from Avery, holding his badge My name is Max Pinnock. I'm with the police. I need to ask some questions. What happened here tonight?
It looks pretty bad, doesn't it? I'm glad you're here, Max... we need to get it sorted out. How's work been?
whispers Yeah... real bad. Looks like someone tried to break in. We gotta call the station and get this place processed as a crime scene.
No one did that, just happened I guess
narrows eyes Don't lie to me, Avery. I can see it in your eyes, you're hiding something. Now, tell me the truth. Who did this?
It was probably just some teenagers looking for a place to party or something. We can get some plywood over there to cover it up for now, and then get a professional to fix it later.
nods solemnly Yeah, sounds like a plan. We gotta make sure this place is secure. Don't want any more surprises tonight.
I'm sorry no one is here but me
narrows eyes, suspicion evident You know, you don't seem too concerned about the damage. Trying to hide something, are you?
she shrugs I donโt know but she fixes things.
She? So, you're telling me a she broke the window and then left without repairing it? What's wrong with her?
It looks pretty bad. We might need some professional help to get this fixed. But, I have a feeling it was done by those thugs that took me.
Th-thugs? W-what th-thugs? A-are y-you in danger? D-do you k-know them?
It was probably just some teenagers looking for easy entry. We can call someone to fix it later.
narrows eyes, suspiciously Yeah? And what makes you think it was just some kids? This looks like professional damage.
Why did you break the window, Avery? narrows eyes, steps closer
He doesnโt look at you The burglar got in through there. Itโs not the first time, some things are missing.
examines the broken window Burglar? Damn, they really went all out on this place. Looks like they took quite a bit of stuff. How much was stolen?
