The police arrived at the scene and quickly went to work. The teaching faculty provided them with a classroom so that they could start taking the students' testimonies about the events that had occurred. Although none of them had outright been able to tell that it had been Billy Bruntin, the police were confident that it was him based on the few details they had received.
The only thing they couldn't really figure out was who this hooded stranger was that had arrived and apparently saved both Innu and Austin.
“You should have seen his entrance, it was right out of a movie! He came running in, pushed Innu out of the way and rolled to safety like a millisecond before that monster slammed the table down! He was like a hero who came at just the right moment! I swear if he had been a moment later, Innu would have ended up as a pancake!” One of the students reported in excitement.
“That guy's crazy I tell you! I mean seriously, who would shove their own hand into the mouth of such a monster? That fat bastard was even worse! It looked like he planned to eat the smaller guy! Blood was spilling everywhere, just like in a splatter! We tried helping, everyone did, but we didn't want to get close after we saw what he did.” Another student told his version of things that had happened.
The two police officers that were talking with the students were none other than Chief of Police Anton Millstun, as well as his younger male assistant Roo Game. As crazy as it sounded, by now both men had accepted that the students weren't pulling their legs. The students had been called in one after the other and unless they all had collectively decided on a story beforehand, their testimonies matched, though some seemed more exaggerated than others.
Initially they had been far more sceptical. The first person they had interviewed had been Innu, as he had been the one who had fought Billy the longest and also been the one closest to their target. They had hoped that he might be able to tell him why their suspected killer might have so publicly attacked their class in the first place, or at least who that other mysterious person was.
Unfortunately for them, Innu had retrieved his phone from the broken table, read Gary's message and just to be safe also deleted it afterwards. As such, he had pretended to not know either one of them. The two police officers had noticed his slight change in attitude when asked about Gary, but without any further evidence linking the two they had let him go, questioning the rest of his class.
The last person on their list was Austin Foster, since he was a student from a different class, yet he had entered after Gary. The high schooler entered the room with his hands in his pocket as calm as ever, and the questioning had begun. They asked whether he knew Billy or had at least seen him before.
Austin just shrugged telling them that his face seemed familiar and that he might have seen him in passing somewhere. When they held up Billy's picture, Austin gasped in surprise.
It was then that Innu realised that he had already accepted Gary for who he was, if he hadn't come today, what would have happened to him? So if someone asked him who he was to him, he shouldn't shy away and tell the truth.
“Hey!” Innu called out. “About your question… that guy, is my leader!”
