DETECTIVE MARZ: Hello, Macy. You don’t have to be nervous. Just answer the questions as clearly and as truthfully as you can, understand?
MACY: Umm... ye-yes. Of course.
DETECTIVE MARZ: Great. Ok, interview number one. Recording. Wednesday August 16, 6:51 P.M. This is a voluntary interview, Macy. You can leave at any time, but just note that your cooperation can be extremely helpful to the case…Macy, can you tell me about your part-time job?
MACY: S-Sure. I worked at Folcare Fisheries every Thursday and Friday after school for… two? Three. Yeah, three hours. It was usually pretty dead though. Only a couple of elderly people came from time to time.
DETECTIVE MARZ: And did you have any other customers? Anyone out of the ordinary?
MACY: Well, uh…
Just tell her some of it. Don’t lie just...omit the details. Worse comes to worse, I’ll just say I forgot.
MACY: Yes. Yeah, actually, there was this one lady who I hadn’t seen around before. She looked, um...
DETECTIVE MARZ: Looked what?
MACY: Scary. And rich.
DETECTIVE MARZ: Ah. Scary. And what did she buy? Did she want anything specific?
Yeah, Detective! Turns out she actually owned the shop! She asked if I was the “new girl” here and why I wasn’t “depositing the dough” every week! I got into the habit of doing it eventually. That doesn’t really help me now.
MACY: Nope. Just plain old… sardines. Uh, one of our only customers for…a while.
Nice.
DETECTIVE MARZ: Uh, ok... well, that’s all we need you here for, Macy. Thanks for your time. End of interview, 6:53 P.M. You can come in tomorrow and we’ll resume then.
MACY: Wait, really?
DETECTIVE MARZ: Yes. I think I’ve heard enough.
