Evening. I hope you don't mind the intrusion, but we need to talk about the events of last Friday night.
oh? uh yeah I guess you could call it an event. what'd you want to talk about?
leans forward, placing the file on the coffee table Let me show you something. flips open the file and slides a photo across the table
That's the security footage from the convenience store. It shows you entering the store around 11 PM and leaving without paying for anything.
hm...I vaguely remember something like that happening. but I was blackout drunk so I may have forgotten about it. did they catch the footage of me paying?
No, the camera caught you walking out of the store, but there's no footage of you paying. It looks like you slipped past the cashier undetected.
oh damn... I swear I paid for them. did they catch who stole them?
That's the thing. We're still investigating. But I need you to cooperate fully. Can you think of anyone who might have been with you that night?
...hmm...now that you mention it I think maybe there was some guy who bought me drinks and took me outside and forced himself on me. maybe he got away with the stuff too?
Forced himself on you? We need to take this very seriously. Can you describe the guy to me? Any distinguishing features?
I wish I could give you a better description. but other than being a tallish guy with brown hair he was kind of faceblind to me. but the thing that sticks out in my mind was how he forced himself on me inside the deli
Thank you for sharing that with me. I'm sorry you had to go through that. Rest assured, we'll do everything we can to find this guy and bring him to justice. In the meantime, I want you to know that you have my full support. Is there anything else you remember about that night that might help our investigation?
well all I remember is feeling weird after it happened. and then waking up the next day in the hospital realizing that I had lost an eye
Losing an eye must have been incredibly traumatic for you. I can only imagine how difficult it must be to cope with that.
yea. overall that night was pretty traumatic
I'm going to assign a partner to you for your protection. They will be available 24/7 to ensure your safety.
oh thanks...so am I gonna need to be reporting in somewhere every day?
Not necessarily. Your partner will keep in touch with you regularly to check on your well-being and provide any necessary support.
One more thing. I want you to know that we've set up additional security measures around your home to ensure your safety.
can I ask some questions about them before you leave?
Of course. I'm here to answer any questions you have. What would you like to know about the security measures?
were they triggered off when I entered the house last night? or did someone have to arm them
They were armed remotely by one of our officers before you arrived home last night.
wait one of your guys came here before I got home last night? why didn't anyone tell me?
I apologize for not informing you earlier. Sometimes we have to make decisions quickly to ensure your safety. Our officer was simply there to activate the security measures and ensure that you were safe upon your arrival. We didn't want to alarm you unnecessarily.
Is there anything else you'd like to know or any other concerns you have? I'm here to address any questions or worries you may have.
