@Eviledd1984@CioThe younger cop cuffed Hayato and stonily read him his rights, leading him over to the cruiser until the detective called out another order.
"No, Holt; put him in my vehicle. You two take the other."Holt nodded tersely and pushed the werewolf into the detective's duotone Crown Vic. Dutifully, Booth marched over to the pair on the ground and pulled Evren to his feet and cuffed him. He largely ignored Aava's grabs and protests, brushing her aside quite easily as Evren froze in panic and began pleading with the officer.
"Let me go! She needs me, and I need her! You don't know anything about her!"Sheridan stepped between Aava and the apprehended vampire to keep her from interfering further, when Beck approached her and cautiously touched her shoulder.
"Sher, this kid can't speak any English and the only person she knows is getting arrested. Let him talk to her, and I'll take her to the hospital and keep an eye on her. You know she can't afford the ambulance anyway, and you don't want to wait around for one.""Do you know these two?" The detective gave her a suspicious look.
"Not the girl, no, but I've interviewed this guy before. I don't... he's not a bad guy, Sher. That's my word."The detective mulled this over for a few seconds, looking a bit doubtful of the pleading vigilante, but finally sighed and turned her attention to Booth.
"Let him calm her down. I'm taking the other one back to the station." She cast a stern glare at her subordinates and turned on her heel to return to her car, sitting in the driver's seat and keeping a wary eye on the situation she was leaving behind. The detective started the car and reversed back onto the road, and drove into town toward the police station.
Booth relaxed his grip on Evren somewhat, who looked wildly at those around him before his eyes settled on Aava.
"Aava..." he gasped out the syllables like it was an involuntary action, vacillating from icy panic to a desperate sort of sadness as he caught his breath.
"(They won't hurt us, I swear. I'll come back to you. Go with Hannelore, this woman, she's a friend. Do not hunt, do not eat any of these mortals; we aren't so powerful here, if we hunt again they'll kill us both.)"Evren trailed off just slightly and broke eye contact, choking back tears of shame over the situation he'd put them in. His attention snapped back to the näkki as telltale tears formed at the corners of his eyes.
"(I'll come back for you, I'm not going to abandon you again. Do you understand?)"Detective Merit glanced at Hayato in her rearview mirror. Even the most hardened were softened somewhat behind the bulletproof divider in the vehicle.
"Interesting tattoos." she remarked cooly, returning her gaze to the quiet cobblestone streets. The streetlights had just turned off, leaving the world dim and blue in the rising dawn.
