D. Warner: Now, why do you think your child ran away?

Nathaniel: …

D. Warner: Sir?

Nathaniel: My wife. She treated Kaylee…pretty bad. They’ve had some trouble between them for years, but when Kay came home with a black eye Alyse lost it…

D. Warner: Lost it, how so?

Nathaniel: She…she’s been threatening to kick Kay out for months. It was always her go to in order to get Kaylee to cooperate. When Kay came home with the black eye, Alyse decided that Kay couldn’t be left home alone, like a child, and demanded that sh-they go to the gala. I don’t know what happened that night, just that Kay was gone in the morning.

D. Warner: Has Alyse said anything?

Nathaniel: Just that they argued about something “asinine, like always.” 

D. Warner: Sir, has your wife ever physically hurt Kaylee?

Nathaniel: No. Never. 

D. Warner: You’re certain? Certain that the black eye maybe wasn’t because-

Nathaniel: Allie would never lay a hand on either of our children! She just…she’s just misguided in what it means to be a “perfect family.”

D. Warner: I see. Last question. Does Kay have any friends that they’d go stay with. Hopefully they’re just crashing on a couch somewhere.

Nathaniel: Yuki Behr. Yuki’s their best friend. Although I always suspected that they might be dating. But that’s the only person Kay would stay with.

D. Warner: Well than, Mr. Hargrove, we have our starting point.

Nathaniel: My daught- uhh kid, went to my wife’s campaign gala two nights ago and I haven’t seen them since. I think they must have run out in the middle of the night and I’m…terrified what happened to my kid. What if sh- they got into some kind of trouble? What if my kid’s dead in an alley somewhere?! You have to find them!

D. Warner: I’m sorry to tell you this sir, but runaways are rarely found. If your…kid?…ran away in the night, it’s clear they didn’t want to be found or followed. But, we will of course try our best to find them. I’ll put out an APB to all the surrounding departments and make it clear that there’s possible endangerment of a minor. 

Nathaniel: That’s IT?! That’s all you’ll do? Just tell other departments to be on the look out? What kind of cop are you?! My kid is missing!

D. Warner: SIR. Please sit down. Why don’t you tell me about you kid? Maybe a detail on where they’d go to?

Windenburg P.D.

D. Warner: *humming* 

D. Warner: Well, I guess that’s quitting time

*footsteps*

Nathaniel: Excuse me Detective, the receptionist at the front desk pointed me this direction and-

D. Warner: *sigh* Alright, come in. What can I do for you sir?
