Marisol nodded at the explanation. It wasn’t an odd one. She hasn’t cared about Pirrozi so much. She was more concerned about Rachel Shale. But that was enough for now. Ivan had been quiet since he had talked on the phone. It was something Marisol had noticed. Ivan had made a call. Dorian, like her, had sent a couple of texts. She was willing to guess that Ivan probably had a family - maybe a wife and kids - and had them on his mind now. Dorian - maybe he didn’t so much. She didn’t know. It wasn’t really her business, but it was hard not to notice things when it was your life’s work.
”Well, we have our caffeine and snacks if we so wish. Going to be stuck here, so might as well get back to work.” she said with a smile, trying to keep her spirits high. ”Comference room will be more comfortable than working around my desk.”
Marisol led the detectives to the conference room and let them know that she would get all the evidence and return giving the pair a chance to get settled. She did so promptly, and set the evidence on the table in the room before moving to the whiteboard in the room.
”Okay - a recap to see if I got this right. Things we know: the victim was being stalked by a creature called an ijiraq,” as she spoke, she wrote the information on the white board in a neat hand. It was more for her benefit than the other detectives. She was a visual person. ”Things we might know but aren’t sure of. The victim was a channeler which is what attracted the ijiraq to him. Channeling would account for the condition of the apartment. And what we don’t know: how the victim died (maybe the ijiraq killed him, he channeled himself to death, or a combination of both). Could be other things too. We don’t know how to find the ijiraq. And,” she turned towards them, not writing the next part on the board. ”Im not really sure what we do when we find it. I’m assuming we can’t place it under arrest - so it will have to be eliminated.” she didn’t like thinking of it that way, but it was likely the truth. She had been a normal cop for so long it was hard to think about. Still she colored her words with a smile that said her comment about arresting it had been a joke. She turned towards Ivan. ”You said it could be frozen and shattered, but it resists magic right? Means it will be difficult to magically freeze, correct?” she turned back to the board. ”Did I miss anything or make any stupid assumptions?” this was all very new to her. She thought she was taking it well though.
