A normal in sanctuary was an event. Most of the military personnel in the facility were magical, and the ones that weren't were so common no one minded their presence, when the lady detective showed up it was an event. She was there with two other officers, but they were unimportant. By the time she got to Rolando at the gym he had heard her all about her from everyone down the chain even though it only took about five minutes for her to run through the check in process. He was waiting for her at the door, she had the men with her wait outside.
"Rolando Lorentino?" She was shorter than he was by about a foot, didn't wear lifts in her shoes like some short people do to appear taller. Her skin color was a light brown denoting she was probably from a warmer place than the planet that they were currently on as the temps there never got much above long sleeve weather in Rolando's short time of living there.
"Whatever you're accusing me of, I didn't do it, I've been here the whole time, my body guard will attest to that." Therod hated being called Rolando's bodyguard, its why he kept doing it.
"Detective Simon nice to meet you, is there some place less sweaty?" She didn't even bat an eye about his behavior, she had read the files the Imperial military had supplied when she asked for an expert. Rolando while not his father was known to have an extensive knowledge of magic because of his father, its one reason he was in the hounds in the first place.
"Well lets step into my office." Rolando lead Detective Simon up his office. It wasn't so much his office as it was the place he lived, but he liked to think it was his office. Therod waited outside with Simon's back up.
"I have a murderer out there Lieutenant, I've tried catching him or her with traditional methods, but its not working. I've even had the hounds out but they aren't catching this guy either, I'm at the end of my rope, and I need someone like you, well I need someone like your father, but you're the best resource available and so I come here looking for your help."
"First don't reference my father it upsets me. Second you are wise to seek my help and you're in luck I"m available, and third should I wear my winter or summer jacket?" Rolando smiled and Simon rolled her eyes, she could regret immediately seeking the young Lieutenant's help.
