Ivan watched the man's expression. He was definitely put out, probably about that ring the girl had. He wanted a look at it too, but it was in the evidence chain now and he'd not get a chance for a long while. Maybe later though. He wasn't sure what the pull was, exactly. Ascendancy hadn't said anything about magic rings. Course he'd not mentioned the monsters either. His leg still throbbed from the other night. Well, that and the stupid sledding mishap. At least he'd gotten some sympathy points from Zoya. Was almost worth the injury...almost.
"I have nothing to hide."
His words were compliant but the guy's face said otherwise. He was pissed for having been interrupted. In truth, that irritated Ivan. The guy just didn't seem to get it. He almost felt like saying 'Dude, what's your problem. You can't be that stupid not to know that you are a real suspect here. At best, you are iffy. If you didn't kill the girl, you sure as hell didn't try to help her, at least not until I showed up. Instead you were more focused on that ring. So ditch the attitude.' But he didn't say anything. He sighed. His goal wasn't to make the situation worse. It was to find out what happened. Getting this guy's walls up wasn't going to help him do his job.
Instead, "Thank you for your cooperation. If you're innocent you'll probably be outta the station in a couple hours."
They got to the car and Ivan opened the back door. Innocent or not, he was a suspect and they road in the back. Zoya's face flashed in his mind. Even the cute ones. After a look of irritation, he got in the car. Ivan then got in the front and pulled away. "We've got some coffee at the station. Not bad stuff, really. Should warm you up."
After that little exchange the rest of the trip was silent. He hoped the EMTs had been able to save the girl. Smiley back there should hope that she lived. That'd be the quickest way to clear him and get him out of there. Ivan didn't really think he did it. It was just a hunch, but he was usually right. That's not to say the guy was good news, though. Well, it'd all be clear soon enough, he hoped.
They got the station and Ivan let him out and took him into one of the interrogation rooms. The camera in the corner was recording their little talk. "Alright. I'll get you some coffee in a moment. This is, of course, just a friendly chat. Can you tell me your name?"
