Chapter 25 – Keeping the Peace

While Corda and her friends were reassuring each other of their safety, the black-clad Peacemakers had formed a protective cordon at the end to the alleyway, also securing the doors that led into the alley. The lieutenant in charge of the responding Peacekeepers had taken one startled look around the area before pulling up his comm-unit and requesting more senior representation and a response squad from the MCF, the Magical Crime Forensics division of the Peacekeeper organization.

The MCF shuttle and the captain from the Peacekeepers arrived at the same time. The tall, dark-haired man in the standard PK uniform with officer tabs had a quiet word with the young officer that had been first on the scene, before walking over to where Corda and her friends stood.

Introducing himself as PK Capt. Braige Thompson, the man first checked to see that no one needed medical assistance before letting them know that his officers would be interviewing each of them separately. Glancing around the area, he looked at Bertor and asked him what it happened.

“For the details of the attack, I am afraid you are going to have to ask my sister and her friends, Capt. Thompson. Even though the four of us and your Peacekeepers charged to the rescue, the three young women handled it before we could assist.”

His eyebrows raised in disbelief, the muscular man turned and inspected the three women. Responding to the challenge in a subconscious manner, Argah and Liz stood in a flanking position to Corda, ceding her the point. The officer's expression shifted once again, as his eyes widened and his face froze. Before he could ask further questions, a man in the usual PK officer uniform but with the MCF flash shoved himself next to Capt. Thompson, turning his back on the Academy Mages.

“Thompson, obviously, this is our crime scene, and you don’t have any jurisdiction here. You and your men need to vacate the area so that we can conduct our procedures.”

“Mage Capt. Hezal, by order of headquarters this remains our crime scene. The investigation does not fall under your jurisdiction, and you are to perform the appropriate tests and provide us with the findings.”

The Mage officer snarled and said, “Still trying to keep control of things you don’t understand, are you?”

Only the tightening of Capt. Thompson’s expression betrayed his emotional response to the rude and dismissive commentary. Ignoring the fuming MCF officer, the OIC took one step to the side and looked at the three girls standing together. Glancing at them, the man suggested, “I think it would be best if the three of you were interviewed first. You can then complete your statements and hopefully be released to some well-earned recovery.”

Interrupting another unsolicited remark, the MCF officer cut in, saying, “Still coddling witnesses, are you? Of course, it helps that they are female, but aren’t they a bit young for you?”

When Bertor tensed and was ready to fire back at the rude man, Corda reached out her hand and patted her brother's arm, saying, “It’s okay, Bertor.
