Alex watch the interplay between the officers, it was habit to look at the body language, the words, their eyes. It was part of her job, and really she could have peaked into their emotions to find the hidden truths. It was such an invasion of privacy that she was taught not to do it. She shook her head clearing her own thoughts, as the armory officer asked her what she thought of all of this.
That was a big question, a really big question, and Alex wondered where she'd fit into their perceptions of witch or monster. She prayed it was not the latter as it was with the Atharim. The disgust that rolled through her mind and to think her half sister was part of them. But she had survived with them, learned to hunt monsters. It might be a good idea to let inspector Drayson in on the family secret, maybe with the CCPD checking out her sister, her father would lay off.
Alex felt guilty about sending him after her. It wasn't her fault about any of this anymore than it was Alex's. Alex didn't ask to be a weak Sentient. She didn't ask to be one in the first place. Aria had been born with little choice as she was. Maybe she should give the girl the benefit of the doubt.
But her thoughts had to turn to the answer at hand. Alex shook her head. "If I'd not seen it with my own two eyes, I'd think it was all some elaborate hoax to chase cold cases."
Alex smiled. "But if men like Mr. Gregory are out there, someone needs to stop them when they go rogue. I'm not sure I believe in monsters. There is always an explanation, something that our mind will correct upon seeing. It's a psychological barrier of protection. But is there something else besides us, humans, I do believe so.
Alex glanced at the binder with a smile. "What we have on hand to keep these unique individuals at bay once we catch them? Drugs do only so well, it's hard to do my job with an individual so drugged they don't know where they are, or what they've done."
