OOC: He's lying or at least deempathizing his relationship with Lauren. He also seems very arrogant and self assured. But as best Nik can tell, Thornton seems genuinely clueless as to who killed her and seems to be speaking the truth that he did not want her dead. |

Re: A Victim of the Art
Nik is beginning to get angry at Thornton's evasiveness. He steps up to him and looks him squarely in the eyes. He knows he's pushing it, but he figures he has nothing to lose.
"Listen to me very carefully. We know you didn't kill her, so we're not going to arrest you. But I will go back into that classroom and tell your students that you were fucking Lauren. Then I'm going to tell the Principal. And when I'm done telling him he has a sexual predator on his staff, I'm going to call your goddam wife. Do you understand me? I will see to it that you are ruined here. This is your last chance."

"I suggest you think carefully about your answer, Mr. Thornton," says Vanessa.

Re: A Victim of the Art
The man’s selfish attitude incenses Nik. He takes a deep breath to calm himself down.
“It matters, Thornton, because there must be a motive as to why she was killed. And there are some people, unlike you, who actually care about that. So you’re going to help us, whether you like it or not.”
Nik produces his badge and ID, and formally introduces himself and Marchand. “Now, you know exactly who we are. If you lie to us again, I’ll arrest you for obstruction of justice. And then the truth about you will come out. Understand?”
Without waiting for an answer, Nik continues. “We need to talk in private now. Dismiss your class. Do it now.”
To Marchand he says “We can use the classroom.”

Vanessa nods. "Unless he'd rather we bring him down to the station," she says,

Nik
"Thornton! Where the fuck are you going? Get your ass back here" Nik shouts. He can't believe how arrogant this man is.
Closing the door of the classroom, Nik indicates Thornton to sit down.
"We own you now. I will fuck up your goddam selfish life if you don't cooperate. We have questions, and you will sit and answer every one of them until we're satisfied. If you don't, or if you give us anymore of your selfish whiny shit, we're going to the Principal's office and explaining your extra-curricular activities."
He calms down with an effort. "Was Lauren behaving any differently in the days leading up to her death?"

"Sorry, forgive my poor manners ma'am, my name is Scott, and we are not ruling anything out at this time, so we are naturally covering all the bases. I'm sure you understand that I cannot discuss the details of an on-going case. You say she was well loved, was there anyone in particular that you know of that she may have had a special relationship with? As for who did it,, well like I say we cannot discuss the case."

Nik leans forward at the mention of the name.
"Thomas? You mean Thomas Dengler? Did Lauren describe his reaction to being turned down?"

Re: A Victim of the Art
Vanessa opts to stand rather than sit in one of the student desks, maintaining a height advantage. "At what time did you last see Lauren on the day of her death?" she asks.

Re: A Victim of the Art
Nik is barely listening, a thousand thoughts running through his head.
“I don’t have any more questions for him” he tells Marchand. “We need to discuss this with Rue.”

"That's all for now, Mr. Thornton," says Vanessa. "If we have any further questions for you, we'll find you."

Re: A Victim of the Art
All
As Edmund continues to speak with Ms. Hernandez, he is surprised by the entrance of the other two agents. Both seem to wish to speak with him, and if he follows them they can soon find some space in private to talk.

Re: A Victim of the Art
"Let's use Hatvan's office " says Nik.
Once inside, he begins to tell Rue what they learned. "Thornton admitted he was seeing Lauren. But the thing is, he said that on the day she died, Lauren was asked out by another student, who she knocked back, and maybe not too gently. It was Thomas Dengler. He has to be the guy. He got a detention from Hatvan and later that day she was killed. Did Moretti's clinic say anything about them having a problem?"

"We need to find out what class Dengler is in right now," says Vanessa. "The principal should be able to help us there. We should be able to catch Dengler before he leaves."

Re: A Victim of the Art
Alas, no sooner does Vanessa say this then the final bell for the day rings. Students can immediately be heard filling the halls. If the agents want any hope of catching Dengler before he makes it out of school, they'll need to act fast. The agents do know that there is an intercom system in the main office. Perhaps if they went there and convinced the secretary to let them use it, they'd be able to summon Dengler before he leaves. But the halls are crowded, and every second will count.
OOC: I did say this is coming, so I don't feel too guilty. Let's have a luck roll from the next person who posts, presuming they want to proceed with the plan above. |
