Burlington eyed the object, and whispered something under his breath. It sounded almost like a hiss, almost like someone trying to muffle a scream through his teeth.
------------------------------------------
"Rrrrrrrrrrrrhhhh?" asked one of the observing constables. The others chuckled.
------------------------------------------
Hand on the stool, Burlington rose, eyes not leaving the artifact. "Where did you get that?" demanded Burlington, staring at the metallic object.
------------------------------------------
Within the room, several of the BPA constables stared into the interrogation room, wondering if Vimes' introduction of the artifact was doing any good. Noticing that the door of the room was ajar from the commotion that just happened before, Constable Lawrence volunteered to shut it.
Just as Lawrence exited, the feminine, mechanical voice rang through the conference room.
"Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
------------------------------------------
"What is it?" demanded Vimes, gesturing at the artifact.
The door of the interrogation room suddenly clanged shut. Burlington's eyes suddenly darted from the artifact to the door of the room. Vimes glanced, back, and in that second, Burlington seized the metal stool and raised it.
------------------------------------------
"LAWRENCE!" exclaimed Captain Scott, "OPEN THE BLOODY DOOR!"
Startled, Lawrence stood there, stunned for a second, but proceeded to unlatch the door as quickly as possible.
------------------------------------------
Burlington brought the heavy stool down on Vimes. But at the last minute, the man's face twitched, and he stopped mid-motion. The resulting swing was barely enough to push Vimes out of the way. The officer buckled from the surprise attack, but was only forced against the nearby wall. The door swung open.
"Vimes!?" shouted Lawrence, standing in the doorway.
Burlington seized the artifact and bolted through the open door, knocking down Lawrence and hurtling down the corridor with tremendous speed.
"After him!!" shouted Vimes.
As the constables went after the suspect, the voice rang out again, "Deviations from Previously Recorded Speech Patterns Detected."
The next few posts should detail Burlington's piecing together the evidence you have already. Burlington's recapture will happen on its own. Try to keep it logical, but use your imagination as well.
