Estelle would’ve protested to Sykes, but another detective patted her on the back, summoning her. “Excuse me, aren’t you the victim’s student?”

She faced the man “Yeah?”

“You know the victim and his Huntsman team?”

She didn’t “know them” personally, but Grei talked about his team a lot, giving her a general idea about them. “Uh-huh.” she answered.

“Good, come with me.”

As she followed, the man explained that they’d gotten a call from a woman claiming to be Grei and Leon’s teammate. She was currently screaming her head off, and wasn’t making any sense. “…. so, we’ll need you to confirm her identity, and maybe try to get her to explain herself better.”

She was led to a small booth and given a headset.

She put it on, suddenly tensed, and immediately threw off the device, rubbing her aching ears to clear the pain. Screaming through a phone did not cope well with extra sensitive faunus ears, apparently.

After toning the volume down, she tried again. From the other end of the line, the woman was still screaming “-I’m telling you, THEY’RE COMING FOR ME!!!”

“Ma’am, calm down…” Estelle began.

“I need help!”

“It’s okay… I’m here for you. Just take a deep breath”

There was a moment of silence, followed by loud wheezing, before the voice came back, still gasping in panic. “Okay, okay… I’m in control…”

“What’s your name?”

“Eilwen. Eilwen Yates.”

Estelle recalled the name and turned to the detective. “Yeah, she’s Grei’s teammate.” before returning to the conversation. “Eilwen, tell me who’s after you.”

The voice was almost sobbing now “T-two of them…. man and woman,” followed by something unintelligible mixed with gasps and sobs “….garbage truck…”

Estelle paled when she heard the description, the same guys were after Eilwen too. She flipped a switch on the radio headset to let everyone else hear the conversation, before resuming her chat with Eilwen, keeping her calm and slowly getting her to talk.
