Barry
The level of tension between the two was thick as they stared each other down. What had started out as a means of entertaining a robot toddler with a whimsical story had became a battle of wits between two complete strangers. The sudden motive thrust upon Jennifer was a means of advancing the story, but it was clear she was not about to be typecast into the villain role. Only one of them could come out as the true hero of the story. Barry began to pace around Jennifer, staring at her as though looking for a means to infiltrate her psyche. With a sudden a swift motion, he snatched the magnifying glass back from her. With the reins back in his hands, he cleared his throat and began to tread carefully with his words.
"I do hope you'll enlighten us on Ms. Salamander, as I've never met nor her of the victim before the incident," Barry said. He immediately tried to cut off any attempt to connect him with the victim, but it was unlikely Jennifer would yield to such a sly comment. "Tell me, do you know if anything strange had happened to Ms. Salamander before she was murdered? Did she tick off anyone, or perhaps got into a fight with someone?"
Sarah
Sarah's face drooped upon hearing the announcement of the scores. She was already far behind in the race to accept a position in the Student Council.
Not over yet though! she thought, pumping her fist into the air. The challenge that lay before her was too difficult (and most of all too boring) to tackle by herself. Assistance would be required to claw her way to the top (no pun intended).
She scanned the area around her for a potential ally, her eyes eventually fixating on the boy with the bird she had seen before, looking for pen and paper.
"Hi there!" Sarah shouted at Isaac, waving as she approached him. "We didn't really get a chance to talk before! I'm Sarah!"
