Police station...just another visit :P

[Rockerfella]

Edward gets back to his office and pulls up out front in a 10 minute parking zone opposite the front doors. The 15 minute trip takes him like 5, for some reason the cops have stopped bothering with giving him speeding fines. Last office that did that has been a beat cop ever since.

Edward jumps out of the car, walks briskly inside the building, jumps in the elevator and goes to the firms level.

He goes straight to Alexander, kisses her on the cheek. Then off loads the camera with the usual instructions to be sent to Barry his security consultant. (Internal thought) 'I need to get that info on the latest case before i got out tonight'
Alexander gives him paperwork to sign, while he is in the office, then hands over the required paperwork for his next trip to the police station.

With that done he goes back to his car and speeds off to the police station. When he gets the police station he parks right out front, then gets out, making sure he has the required paperwork for the desk clerk and walks through the front door. Wearing the cheesiest grin as only he knows how. He walks straight past any lines to the front desk and rings the bell for immediate service.

Once a police officer's attention has been gained he casually hands over the paperwork and replies 'I believe i am expected and there should be some tapes here for me!'

With that he waits....

The cop looked Edward over and then nodded.

"Mr. Rockerfella, yeah. You're to go into Mr. Gros' office. He has them ready for you."

As Edward headed off to find the office, he could distinctly hear the cop mutter something about 'Americans' under his breath.

Heiner Gros' office was full of pictures. Pictures of his family, pictures of Saxophone players, pictures of the human anatomy, and pictures of himself. He motioned for Edward to sit, and then pulled out some papers about the current case.

"Mr. Rockerfella... you're here about the tapes, aren't you?" he said, stating the obvious.

[Rockerfella]

Edward looked with disdain at the office..it was hard getting used to suck spartan and messy offices. After looking at a few of the pictures in the office, he quickly deduced that Heiner Gros was a family man, loved his music, jazz by the looks of things, anatomy..well i guess he must have some fascination with the human body (detective no doubt).

He took a sat down on the seat in front of his desk, with a look of slight disgust at the obviously cheap government tendered seat.

'Yes Mr Gros' I am here about the tapes, it is a legal matter that needs to be taken care of for the university' Edward takes a mental note 'I'd better make a call to the chancellor just to cover my tracks and hopefully get another case in the process'

While he is thinking this a slight smirk crosses his face then disappears.

He continues 'When we are done with the tapes you can have them back, but as you can see from the paperwork here, you are to hand over the tapes forth with!'

Edward waits a little while for this to sink and waits for Mr Gros's reply and hopefully the tapes for which he had originally come..

He hated coming down here to be in the middle of such obviously bad taste, detectives just did not have afashion sense! Although it was fun to see the different types of people that come and go at various times of the day.

"Of course, you have the right to them, Mr. Rockerfella. But we want to find this killer, we really do," he explained. "How can we do it if every little piece of evidence is snatched away by either the lawyers or the special units or the University?"

He pointed to the box in front of him. It contained a number of video tapes and was marked with the case number.

[Rockerfella]

Edward smooths his hair back with his hand...'Mr Gros rest assured you will get the tapes back as soon as we have analysed them for the coming court case. I will courier them back pronto so that you can catch these killers. I know it is hard and we..that is lawyers like myself, end up looking like the devil. But after all we would not be a democratic society if we did not follow the laws.'

With that he takes and the box of tapes...shakes Mr Gros's hand and thanks him for his time and then precedes to leave th epolice station back to the law office. Walking as smugly as only Edward can do, ignoring the cursing and other obscenities that the police say under their breathe as he walks past. Making sure to note who does this as slyly as possible.
