Case # 5: Voice

[Enjoy the sound of George's dulcet, Newfinese tones. Like Ireland rolled off of Canada the morning after, and Canada was like, 'You'll call me, eh?', but Ireland totally never called.]

I'd like to speak to Mr. William Pratt, if I may, and also a Dr. Capa?

And also any member of the infirmary staff, when you have a moment. I don't believe it's an emergency.

Alright. I had a report over the weekend that you had assaulted one of the parents on board, but as it was quite singular, and simultaneously vague and detailed, I suspected the altercation must have been at least mutual. I was hoping you could shed some light on the situation. Are you unharmed?

It didn't start mutual. But I'm unharmed.

Then who struck the first blow?

[Private]

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Me. What is the point of this?

[Private]

I'm a constable, sir. When something is reported to me, it's my duty to look into it.

Why did you hit him?

[Private]

[ourlastbesthope.livejournal.com]

Because of what he did to my inmate. No, I won't tell you what it was.

I do respect their privacy.

[And George suspects it must be something a good deal worse than abandonment, which people are usually willing to speak about.]

Thank you for being so forthright with me, doctor.

Capa.

You're welcome. Thank you for not prying.

Of course. George Crabtree, Toronto Constabulary.
