Creed came quietly enough. Halfway through a suit fitting in his office, Mary had presented him with a choice: either come along willingly, or face the walk of shame in front of an office full of subordinates. Creed had chosen wisely.

Following a brief wait at the station for the man’s lawyer, Mary had interviewed Vincent Creed to little result. The banker had remained silent throughout, speaking only to recite his name, address, and occupation. Mary had informed him of his rights and sent him down to the holding cells. Leopold had been told to wait outside.

“Are you done yet?” Leopold asked, as Mary stormed back into the waiting room. “The coffee here is terrible.”

“I’m sure you’ll survive a little longer,” she said.

“He’s been down in the cells for nearly an hour. What else do you expect to achieve by stomping around? His lawyer will be working to put a moratorium on any warrants to search Creed’s computers, so make sure you get there first. You can hardly expect the man to confess without putting a little pressure on him.”

“I know, I know. He just gets me riled up, that’s all. Entitled bastard. You should have seen the smirk on his face all the way through the interview. Like he knew I couldn’t do anything.”

“You’ll just have to prove him wrong.”

“We don’t have long. I need to officially charge him with something in the next five hours or he’ll walk. And that’s not going to happen without something a little more concrete to link him to the murder.”

“You get his bank accounts?”

“Yeah. I’ve got some people going through them right now.”

“Let’s go take a look.”

She hesitated, then let out a sigh. “Okay, fine. You can come; just don’t speak to anyone, okay?”

“Wouldn’t dream of it.”

Mary swiped her ID card across the magnetic strip near the steel door at the back of the room. “And don’t touch anything.”
