Check in on the little blonde secretary

From Create Your Own Story

You head over to the pew where the blonde from the offices is being questioned. You need to know how she knew how to hurt the redhead.

"Hey Doyle," you announce yourself to the officer. "What do we have here?"

The little blonde speaks first. "Did you save her?" She's obviously talking about Jessica. When Jenkins and Cooper arrived on scene, this woman was frantically motioning to the church offices, screaming for help.

"Yes, she's on her way to the hospital now, to get checked out. Do you know anything about the woman she was fighting with?"

"No, I've never seen her before."

You lean closer. "Then, how did you know how to hurt her?"

Officer Doyle has her notepad ready.

The blonde's eyes dart between you and Doyle. "I didn't. I just threw something to distract her, and I ran."

"You threw something that burned that woman's eyes. What did you throw?" You watch the expression on her face. Jenkins' years of dealing with people who lie, let you know what to look for.

"It was just water". She knows it wasn't 'just' water.

Officer Doyle chimes in. "Carrie, water doesn't cause burns like that. What kind of acid was in that jar? You need to tell us."

"It was just water." You left out that little word in front of it. 'Holy' water.

There would be a much simpler way to get the answers out of this girl. You could just jump into her and read her memories. The problem is that cross she's wearing as a necklace. You can't possess her.

"Carrie. Can I call you Carrie?" You try to put on your best 'nice cop' persona. "I need to know how you knew to hurt the redhead. When we came in you mentioned someone else in body armor too. A man. If we need to go up against him, we'll need all the information we can get. You don't want to see anyone get hurt, do you?" How much of that was me, and how much of that was Jenkins?

"Okay," she finally relents. "I saw her once with Brother Michael. He's always going on about demonic influences. He said she was one of them. I don't know what made me do it, or why I thought it would work. I just knew it would somehow. It was just water, but I knew it would hurt her. I thought that injured woman would be right behind me when I ran. I wasn't about to go back after her. That's when I ran into you."

You left something out, Carrie.

"Where's the gun?"

"I dropped it behind the organ." The secretary sounds almost defeated when she has to answer that question. She meant to hide that weapon. Officer Doyle walks over to the church's organ and returns with a large handgun in an evidence baggie.

"Was that so hard? I'd hate to think you were trying to hide that on purpose." You lean in a little closer still, your face inches from hers. "Where can I find Brother Michael?"

"I don't know." Your read on the blonde tells you that she's telling the truth. You catch her scanning the room after this. She expected him to be here. You could work the secretary over with some harsh interrogation techniques, but you're probably not going to get much more out of her. She's a small fry. You're looking for the big one.

You nod to Doyle, and head off to talk to someone else.
