John pulled his police badge out of his storage compartment and showed it to the officer.

At the mention of Lumine X and Zero look at each other before turning back to Isaac. "But I though Lumine was killed?" Said Zero.

[wonderweiss]

"Ah, I understand. Right this way."

The building was a mess. It wasn't crushed, but there was debris everywhere. The witness was in a nearby corner, resting.

"Well, he's inside Axl's head and he's trying to take over.", Isaac said.

"Each of you hold my hand.", Isaac said to X and Zero.

John approached the witness and woke her up.

(Maybe he knows how the Announcer did this. What about that Terminator?), John thought to himself.

[wonderweiss]

The lady woke up.

"Huh, what..."

"Excuse me ma'm, but I need to ask you about what happened here.", John said.

"Can you tell me from the start?"

[wonderweiss]

"Hm? Oh yea, that thing. Well, I really don't know much of anything... except for that guy. He was someone that you would see in a movie like twilight. I just wish I were bella... uh? Anyways, he just walked by with a mysterious aura, like... he was... and... he was... wow..."

John had little patience for angsty teen movies and even less patience for ditsy people.

John looked at the officer and spoke.

"Are there any other witnesses?", John asked the officer.

[wonderweiss]

"Hold up! I know where he went. He went in, ah... that direction."

She pointed in the direction of the resort.

"But he was so... fast. It was like he wasn't even human! I hope he comes back... to take me... in a white horse... into the moonlight..."

[S121]

TISF

(Oh boy...), John thought when the lady said, "I hope he comes back... to take me... in a white horse... into the moonlight...".

"Thank you for your cooperation.", John said.

John then turned towards the officer.

"Are there any other witnesses?"

[wonderweiss]

"Yes. Here is the only one who isn't unconscious, Dr. Jameston."

A man in a lab coat came out looking traumatized.

"No... he.... it's...................

MI.......HI.............."

He fell to his knees.

John lifted the man up and gently sat him down in a chair.

"Are you okay? I need to ask you what happened here. Can you start from the beginning?", John asked Dr. Jameston.

[wonderweiss]

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We're not safe here!!! We need........ my lab! He'd never find us there..... no!!! Stupid idea!!! We need....... my basement! We don't even have a light down there, it's perfect! Please... let's go there!"

[S121]

"Very well.", John said as he guided Dr. Jameston to the basement.

"Now what is it that you were saying?", John asked.
