This small room is used for interrogations. There is a camera in one corner. Otherwise there is a table, a desk, and a small light.
As Aleksi has cooperated so far, the cops are much politer with him than they are with Kasiya. They offer him coffee and tell him that he can call his lawyer if he really wants, but they only want to ask him a few questions. After leaving him alone for a few minutes, a male and a female policeman return to the room with some coffee.
"Could you please state your full name?" the man asked as the woman took notes.

"Aleksi Hermanni Vuori." Aleksi answered. He was not nervous at all for being in police station. After all he believed in law and order.
"Could someone please tell me what is going on?" he asked from the police "Any word of Martin?"

"Mr Vuori, we are doing our best to find your nephew," said the detective. "We need you to cooperate with us. What do you know about the man who was travelling with you?"

"Him? Nothing much. He was supposed to be our guide, as he had told me he knew the way." Aleksi said thoughtfully as he sipped his coffee. "My brother knew him somehow, and I thought I could trust him." Aleksi thought for a moment "I am sure my brother will be shocked. Why did you arrest him, is he some sort of criminal?"
"I had trouble even on getting to the checkpoint, so I took him with me when I had a chance to get a guide."

The detective seemed to believe him. He nodded sympathetically.
"He is a suspect in the deaths of several children," he said. "We wanted to bring him down for questioning. I can't tell you anything for sure until the investigation is complete, but we are doing our best.. Do you know the man's name, and how your brother knew him?"

"Oh God..." Aleksi gasped as he felt the blood to escape his face. A child-killer. Even as he knew Kasiya as garou, he didn't know should he believe the officer or not.
"I don't know how my brother... well, half-brother knew him. I am sorry but I really don't know about that. I have been re-united with my brother just a short time ago. I doubt them being very close, he just happened to be around when we needed a guide." Aleksi said, clearly shocked on Kasiya's suspected crimes. He understood concepts of violence and war fully, but harming the children was something he could not tolerate. "I had an eery feeling about him, you know."
"He told his name was Richter. I don't know was it his first or last name. I really don't know german names that well." Aleksi continued after brief silence.

The detective took all these notes, and then nodded.
"We are very sorry Mr Vuori," he looked genuinely sorry. "We will need your contact details, then we can inform you when your nephew is found. And we will need to speak to your brother too. Does he have an address in the city?"

Aleksi gave the detective a number from where he could be reached. It was one of the numbers of Ragnarok "You can contact me here, just ask me if anyone else answers. I am moving to another apartment soon but I will let you know the new number then."
"I am sorry but I cannot remember the actual address of my brother. The foreign streetnames are still gibberish to me. But I am sure he will contact you the moment he hears that the boy is missing." Aleksi tried to smile "Who knows if he has just ran away and taken a bus to get home or meet some of his friends. He might right now be at home waiting for bro to get home or me to return."

"Do you know where he might go, besides home or to his friends?" the detective asked. "Do you have a phone number for your brother?"
The detective wrote down the contact number for Ragnarok in the meantime.
"Well, let us know as soon as you hear anything from the boy," he said.

"Besides friends and home, I don't really know." Aleksi said after thinking a short moment "My brother used to have a cellphone, one of those log-sized models you know..." Aleksi gave the number, changing tactically the last number so he could later claim he had misremembered it "...but I think he has broken it... was it last week... I don't know has he fixed it yet."
"I am sure he will call you from pay-phone if he can't find another phone around if the boy has not gone home at the first moment I let him know what has happened." Aleksi said. He was worried how Vasara would react to this. He was also worried how Vasara would react after hearing that these... Strikers? Striders? These Whatever had 'borrowed' him. "Will this take long? I would love to help you, but I really don't know much and I would like to get home, my brother really needs to know what has happened."

The guard shook his head.
"This won't take long," he assured him as he finished writing down all the details. "We will contact your brother and inform him. I am sure we will find your nephew soon."
The detective stood up.
"The force appreciates your cooperation Mr Vuori," he said. "Someone will be back shortly to show you out."

A few minutes passed, then the door opened again and two men stepped in. One of them was in his late thirties, the other in his twenties. The older man spoke.
"I am Detective Inspector Feldmann, I am in charge of this case. I'm sorry to keep you further, Mr. Vuori, but we have some more questions for you."
He takes a seat opposite Aleksi and the younger man sits beside him.
"We have been talking with your associate Mr. Richter, and some other matters have been raised. Are you comfortable and ready to continue?"

"Sure." Aleksi answered and took some coffee. "If I may ask, please talk slowly and clearly so there won't come any misunderstandings." he continued with his heavy accent as he offered his hand as a greeting.

"If you have trouble, then you only need to ask and we will find someone who speaks a language you are more comfortable with."
Detective Feldmann nods and smiles.
"You informed my colleague that you do not know Mister Richter personally, and your brother suggested him as a guide. Do you know anything of Mister Richter's recent activities, over the past month?"

"Nothing really, as you can see from my passport I have just arrived myself." Aleksi scratched his jaw as he thought how bad he actually knew everyone except Vasara. "A Finnish translator would be nice to have, but I don't want to trouble you. I'll let you know if I lose you."
"I doubt that my brother even knows him well. He is just someone he has met and we thought he was local and willing to help. You think he would have harmed us when we would have been somewhere out of people's eyes?"
"Any word from the boy yet?" Aleksi asked finally, with a very concerned voice.
