DeShawn had mulled over his options in the day following the debacle with the asset Aren. He had the hard drive, for sure. But he couldn't be sure that no one else had seen the contents. It definitely had been tampered with by someone, and frankly he wasn't betting on the kid being able to do it himself. He wasn't that clever after all.

Talking to his men, Grayson and Trevor had eagerly agreed to be the scapegoats for this one. He needed to get a good foot in the door with these monsters. And looking at their legal system, his men wouldn't be incarcerated for too long. Just enough time for him to cultivate the appeal he needed.

Stepping into the police station, dressed in khakis and a button up collared shirt, DeShawn looked as respectable as he could. He milled about the front waiting area for a bit, waiting for an officer to look like they were free. He repeated the mantra in his head that they were cops. Monster cops, but still cops. He could deal with cops. He hadn't done anything wrong. He hadn't shot that kid in the head. Not one bit. DeShawn approached the first officer he saw who wasn't innately busy. Shoulders squared. Confident, but solemn. This was a serious matter.

"Apologies for bothering you this morning, but I'd like to report a crime."

Today was honestly a bit lame. Now don't get Oma wrong, she loved her job but some days it just kinda becomes meh when all you end up doing is waiting around and doing paperwork for the majority of the day. She just wanted something to happen, anything at all. Oma was just waiting around for someone to call in some dumb shit like "Oh no, we summoned a bunch of cows in our house by accident" type of dumb shit.

It was just a slow day she guessed. The chances of her getting to chase anyone would probably just increase later tonight. For now she was just stuck here waiting and doing whatever paperwork she needed to do. She could also just use this time to call and check on Aahla.

Well she was going to check on Aahla until she heard the door open and glanced over to spot....some guy. Huh.
Oma got up from her seat and made her way over to him all casual like and with as friendly of a smile that she can muster. "Hello, you said you needed to report a crime?"

This was definitely going to be more paper work....

She was big. Bigger than him. Definitely not human. His eyes hovered at her chest for a second before he adjusted his gaze up to her eyes. He played it off as reading her name tag, nodding once in greeting to the officer. "Yes ma'am, officer... Re-foot?"

He lifted his right hand to his temple, saluting her with the practiced perfection of a soldier. "Captain Deshawn Franklin, U.S. Marines... retired," he added after a pause, considering how best to explain his leaving military service. Not that it probably mattered to this cop. She seemed bored, like she wanted anything at all to happen.

"And yes ma'am. I need to report a crime. Specifically aggravated assault. Can we... go somewhere more private? I am not really comfortable sharing details out in the open." He kept his voice low but firm. He was not in a position to mess this up. He needed to get it right the first time to put that good foot forward.

Oma was keeping close watch on this guy. She was definitely prideful in the fact she was bigger than him afterall. "Close enough." Oma said into response to him attempting to say her name.

"Huh." Oma eyed DeShawn up and down trying to assess him. He was apparently a former captian to one of earth's many military forces. He kinda looked the part and had the physique for it anyway. Oma just saluted him back the way he saluted her. There was a flash of a grin on Oma's face before quickly going back to her bored expression.

"Alright Captain Franklin, or whatever you want me to refer to you as. You want to file a report of aggravated assault?" That's way more interesting than just sitting around here. Oma went back to her desk to grap report papers and a pen so she can get all this stuff down. "I know you already gave your name but I still need to see a government issued ID and I will need your current living address."

Oma smiled at DeShawn. "Regular procedure and there are shapeshifters on the island."

"DeShawn is fine. Only my men call me Captain. Or rather, they did."

DeShawn slowly as Oma repeated his statement back to him again. It's fine. This was kind of procedure he was familiar with. Ensuring that the testimony didn't change. He could deal with this. And he could deal with giving Oma his ID card, pretty new by how crisp it was. He was clearly a recent arrival.

"Yes. It's a rather sensitive topic and I prefer speaking about it in a more private location. But the long and short is that I arrived here with some of the men I served with. A couple of them went rogue and attacked a citizen. When I found out..."

He paused and shook his head, closing his eyes as if composing himself. "Well, if I was less of a man I'd have busted their heads open."

"I am fully prepared to cooperate in whatever way you need. I don't approve of my men going rogue like this, and I won't stand for it."

Aggravated assualt. Yep. Done by more than one person too apparently. He said his men so Oma was going to assume these guys in question are also military.
"We can go to a more private area if you want to, just follow me."

Oma gathered the papers she had and just headed to the nearest vacant office room she could fine. Once they were both in, she closed the door behind them and just took a seat behind the desk. "So it's great you are willing to report this and cooperate with us."
She set grabbed a pen and started to write, signing the time and date for today.

"So start it from the top. Tell me all the details you know about the assualt, when it happened, where it took place, who, why, and all that."

Once they were alone, DeShawn relaxed considerably. He exhaled slowly and uncrossed his arms as he explained the situation to Oma.

"My men and I, we were military. We saw stuff out in the field. Supernatural stuff. Got brought on for a project. Run security for a group housing a bunch of powerful, nasty stuff. Not easy by any metric, but at least we knew we weren't crazy."

"It was easy to tell yourself that the thing behind the glass wasn't really a kid when you saw him rip a cow in half with his bare hands. We were keeping the people safe. That's what we told ourselves."

"Your boys shut us down. The Veil guys, I think? Spent some months trying to forget. Couldn't. So we found a way to contact Manta Carlos. Did the whole pardon thing. Been trying to settle in."

DeShawn rubbed the back of his neck, clearly getting to the part of the story that annoyed him. "Two of my men. Grayson and Trevor. They apparently found one of the... kids that you freed from the compound. And they got it in there heads... I don't even fucking know. But they attacked him. Apparently got scared off by some passers by."

"They called me to tell me that they'd be lying low for a couple of days. As if I wouldn't turn their dumb asses in."
