Klaire is returning to her office after taking Rook outside for a walk and business. She was sure she turned off the lights, but they were on as she approached.

Klaire was tired, she'd been working on Ylva's case all week. But Rook needed to potty and she needed a brain break. She was dressed formally, a cardigan, nice shirt, and jeans. Rook was in his vest and was sniffing the good sniffs.
As usual, she had the mind link active with Rook, helping her direct her thoughts and powers to her chipper companion. As she looks up at her office, a bit of worry seeps into her face, and she speaks out loud.
"Lets go Rook. Time to get back to work." And the pupper immedietly tags along.

As she opened the door, there was a figure in her face. One who's shadow had not been there a moment ago.
It was in her office, obviously, but nothing seemed out of place at the moment.
"Excuse me, Miss Henriette. I am a Philadelphia Police Department Mark Two Autonomous Policing Unit. I have been assigned to interview you regarding your connection to one, Ylva Theodolus."
The figure speaking looked mostly human, until you got this close. It was covered in a police uniform, with the belt and associated tools. Its hands and head seemed to be made of the same material, glossy, wet and white in material.
Even though the voice was obviously electronic or synthesized, it sounds like a movie star, world leader, or other charismatic individual pulling those around it in easily.

Klaire flinches as she opens the door and there was a figure in her face. Rook immediately barks before Klaire puts a hand on his back to let him know its okay.
"Hello, I apologize, I had not expected anyone to interview me today. Has there been an update in the case? And is there anyone else here?"
She gave a mental command to Rook. <"Just stay calm Rook. I may need help if the interview is too intense.">

"I do not detect any other lifeforms in your office or on the floor, other than your service animal," the soothing voice replied, "In this situation, you are not a consultant for the Police Department of Philadelphia. You are here as a known associate and love interest of Mrs. Theodulus. Therefore, we are here as we would any connected individuals to a suspect."
While looking at the dog, it spoke to Klaire, "Please control your animal, or I will be forced to remove it."

Klaire nods affirmatively. "I understand officer. I would like your Badge ID number and proof of warrent before we continue, as well as a moment to prepare a bowl of water for Rook. Feel free to sit if you so choose."
Klaire moves into her office, getting ready to pour a bowl of water as well as a glass for herself from the sink.
"And as a note, officer. Rook is a licenced service animal for my anxiety and well being. Removing him is a crime against my disability and is illegal. You simply frightened him is all."
Mark II
"I will do as I desire, you, Jane," the voice was gruff for a moment, "I am a Philadelphia Police Department Mark Two Autonomous Policing Unit. I do not have a designation. Your dog may be removed if it is a threat. Any animals may be removed if they are a threat. Permanently."
"I do not need to sit. You must answer my questions, or be detained."

Klaire hesitates, looking at Rook, who leans against her as support. He looks just as anxious as Klaire was and did an anxious yawn. Her voice wavers just slightly.
"Mark Two Unit, that is outside the law. If you make that threat again I will contact PPD. In addition, you may not detain me without proof of Warrent as I have commited no crime."
Her hands shake slightly as she runs her fingers through Rook's fur.

The robot's eyes camera constricted to hyper focus on Klaire. "Any animal that is violent against law enforcement personnel can be put down... What is your association with the Free Council, and what do they have to do with Mrs. Theodulus being cleared? You can help me solve this case, if you just tell me the truth."
"Give me information that will assist the case. Truth must be found."
Klaire

Klaire looks at Rook, shaking. "Do...do not threaten my dog officer...please. "
She is tired, and its clear shes on edge and wants Rook safe, because she relents. She sits down in her chair and pets him.
"I am recently a Voter of the Free Council. The Free Council have nothing to do with my partner being cleared, officer. I just want...to prove my partner and her wife's innocence in any way I can." Her heartbeat was loud in her ears as she pets Rook. Her anxiety was spiking and he was the only thing helping right now.
Mark II
"And what if evidence shows that they are not innocent? Will you uphold your contract with the Department? Will you identify her location and help detain her? Will you help find other persons of interest, so that we can obtain the truth? You're a BAM on our side, right?"

Klaire's breathing gets shaky as she takes deep breaths.
"There is no evidence besides shitty camera footage from a seperate location that is against my partner and her wife! What motives does Ylva have? Shes a recovering addict who has found a passion in tattooing, officer."
She shakes. "If needed, as part of this investigation I will help find Ylva as part of my c- my contract." Her voice gives out on her partway through, and she pets Rook to help ground herself.
Mark II
"Very well. We cannot discuss an ongoing investigation for motive or modus operandi, as you know." It kept its blue-white eyes focused on Klaire's eyes, "We have identified a third person of Interest. Miss Jackie Drexel. She was with Mrs. Theodulus on the Night of the 21st of December. Have you any information about this individual, or their whereabouts, or others that may know information regarding either Mrs. Theodulus?

Klaire averts her gaze, not looking at it. "I'm aware, yes."
She looks puzzled. "Um...I am not familiar with the name. And I have not seen Ylva recently so I am not sure who Ylva has been talking to or spending time with. As for Astrid, last I heard she was still working at The Escape, and staying at their house in (insert location). As I am only Ylva's partner, I do not stay with them, even though I have a room there should I ever need a place to stay."
Mark II
"You interacted with Miss Drexel at Club Vertigo on," gives date, "Along with Doctor Thomas 'Tommy' Shanks, and," it gave descriptions of Titania and Renault.

Klaire thinks back to the night. She shakes her head. "I am friends with Dr. Shanks, and I am vaguely familiar but not friends with either of those individuals you described. That was the first night I had met them. I do not know a Miss Drexel by name."
Mark II
"Understood. We apologize for upsetting you and your service animal," a compartment opened up and it reached into it... pulling out dog treats. From another compartment, it pulled out a coupon for free Ice Cream from a national chain's local location.
"You do good work for the city and missing individuals. We are pleased."
Klaire
—
Klaire shakily takes the treats and coupon. "I try my best, officer. Am I free to leave?"
Mark II
"It is your office. We will leave." And in a literal blink, they were gone. If Klaire stared at them, they were there one second and gone the next.
Klaire
Klaire sinks in her chair, then onto the floor with Rook. Shaky breaths rock her as she snuggles the service dog. Rook is doing his darnedest to cheer her up with lots of face licks!
