Tacoma Police Department,
Deputy Chief Alford had just concluded his telephone conversation with FBI Director and was looking through the glass at the person who was inside the interrogation vault they called Pinocchio Vault in humor. Opposite to Pinocchio whose nose increased with a lie, the culprit would often find his ones decreased due to courtesy of Keaton and other guards.
"FBI wants to know how we concluded this arrest without causing fireworks among the public. They wanted to talk with you about the sources of investigation but I told them you're busy with one of our officers – Keaton and rest of the patrolling teams at this moment." Alford said to Deighan, adjusting his glasses and looking at the bizarre photographs taken in D'Amares' location last night.
The deck of photos was appearing as internet memes due to indexed white portion on the bottom of the photographs. He shared half of the deck with Keaton and then he ran his fingers on bizarre photographs by glancing at D'Amares, who was sitting calmly on the chair, through the glass.
"I think…he had some of his group last night but they ran. I thought we had to battle but this happened nothing more than –" Keaton said, gazing at the photos one by one.
"Matricide?" Mr. Deighan interrupted.
"Maybe not." Keaton moved his eyes at Deighan, "It was simple as well as we were arresting a drunkard. After all, he was on the state of unconsciousness anyways last night. He also had been smelling alcohol."
"Speed up the procedure and initiate the interrogation." Alford command to Keaton.
Keaton threw look at him in dilemma if he was serious for it or just was kidding in front of Deighan.
"And what about the witnesses we need for it? I think we can't get them ready just like this! This is not a place like Guantanamo."
"Officers from FBI will arrive here in an hour. After all, they will not be in mood to listen what D'Amares has to say. They'll just take him away and it's all over. There's going to be no trial because he is a notorious criminal. If they consider interrogating, only if, then they will opt to do it in their own headquarter. I think we need to talk to him until he's here and collect some piece of information he has with him."
"As like others, this man is also bound to glue his lips –"
"They'll be here by seven. So keep moving on what you were told to do. I'll go and warn the man about interrogation…because this is not Guantamo Detention Center," he looked in wicked manner at Keaton for remainder, "Till then keep questions ready in your head whether he answers them easily or not."

Keaton nod in response.
Then Keaton saw both of the men leave the room and within a minute they were visible through one way mirror in D'Amares' vault.
Warner entered inside the room like he had been waiting outside for Deighan and Alford to leave the room.
"Keaton… Aitoúntes. You said you'll tell me what this department doesn’t know about – " Warner gasped.
"I'll tell you what you need to know."
"About the phone call to Alford. You said the caller was the one who had scared him. How the hell you are supposed to know this?" Warner asked in hurry as if he had run from his desk just to get the answer.
Warner was one hell of impatient man. He was an over thinker maniac.
"Because the same type of call had come to me the night before an unknown man had been found inside Benjamin Hansen's house. I had known Hansen for a long time. As far as I think, the dead man was the one who had called me. I am not sure if he was the same man who had called Deighan or not but whoever called him belongs to same category."
"What category you are talking about?"
"Do you believe in spirituality? I know you don’t…but you will understand this only if you attempt to glance at all of this from my perspective. To believe in me, you have to believe that a man is nothing more than a puppet for a divine entity. A divine entity which has forgotten it is creation of God. A portion of God. And the entity has left its duty just to punish some people for nothing."
"So you are linking the absence of signals from the house with divine force which existed with dead man there. You know what; if you believe in it then I reckon you've got to take it more seriously because same had happened with signals last night."
"I already have taken it. And now I am sure the force which perished in Anderson Island isn’t alone here. And what accompanied him is responsible for Alford's worry." Keaton said when found himself looking at Alford.
"Do you believe in Satan? I assume you are referring divine portions as Satan."
"Oh Jesus!" Keaton felt like a kick in his guts and immediately left the room like he didn’t want Warner to ask more questions about the topic.
Warner would have followed him but Keaton entered inside the interrogation chamber where Warner wasn’t even allowed to step in without permission.
