Drayson paused at the door to glance back at Thalia and nodded his thanks, then departed to the hallway to make the arrangements. Her sister would be phoned, and a counselor would join Thalia to assess her mental state before the woman was released to go home. Baring any future charges pressed by Jon, she was free to go.
An interesting woman, but her response to the news that Jon was still alive was...curious. She hadn't seemed to be lying; she didn't seem to know any of the people involved in the incident. It was just a group of strangers, entirely normal on the metro. But why then did she seem to have such strong feelings about Jon? And why had she seemed so...not displeased, but...uncertain, perhaps? that he was alive?
He stopped to speak to a few of the other detectives, assigning one to assure that Miss Milton's sister was rung, and to check on the results of the DNA tests of the hair found in Mr Gregory's pockets. There was nothing available yet.
Drayson dallied briefly in visiting Dane. A brief trip to the washroom, a fresh cup of coffee, but still there was nothing back on the test results. He sighed quietly, collected his papers, and entered the room Mr Gregory had been left to his own devices in for the past few hours, after a sound knock to alert the man he was about to have company, of course.
He studied Dane a moment as he came in and closed the door, then stepped towards the table. "Good morning, Mr Gregory. I am Chief Inspector McCullough. I have a few questions for you about what happened today in the metro."
Innocent until proven guilty. It was not exactly a legal requirement in the CCD, or to one of his office, but considering the wealth of resources he had at his disposal, he could afford to assume a person innocent for a short time. The gears that turned at his back would produce what he needed long before it became an issue.
