After catching their breaths, Exile and Zeus decide the next steps: Exile will keep her eyes on the door (hiding around the corner) and notify Zeus (wave her hand) if those brawlers come out; Zeus will walk the corridor and look for a guard - to tell him what he witnessed or a familiar face to ask him to call for help (call a guard). Meanwhile Zeus will constantly check on Exile and if he sees her sign, he will get to her and if it's possible, will follow them from a safe distance.
Exile is very nervous because of the threat she just received, but she is a strong woman. She gulps, look at Zeus and says:
"They just left. They said they would slash my throat if I speak up, but I am not afraid of them. They went that way (she points the direction). We should go inside and see if the guy is okay, I'm afraid they may have kill him", she says while looking at the guard...she then adds...
"You all (referring to the guards) take so long, the guy can be dead by now, I am sure if we have told you all we had chocolate chip cookies and donuts, you should have rush here", she says while shaking her head in anger and frustration.
"Calm down Exile! I don't think this tone of yours would get things better. Let's go inside and see what happened".
On that moment, they realize that Intellekt is watching them. Seing him (Intellekt) approaching, Zeus says: "Hi there! Care to join us, my friend?"
They decide to go in the locker room to see what happened to the threatened guy: Zeus and the guard in front, followed by Exile and Intellect.
Here are Zeus and Exile's testimonies; Intellekt hasn't had anything to say, 'cause he just joined the action.
Zeus: "I was in the locker room, getting ready for work, when I met Exile. We started to talk and the next minute we noticed that there was no one else in around us, except for the fact that we heard some strange noises from the other side of the locker room. I decided to take a look, while Exile went to the door. When I got closer I noticed three big guys harassing one of my co-workers. I tried to speak to them, but when they saw me, one of them made it clear for me, that if I don't leave the room, I'd be sorry. Together - with Exile - we left the locker room in a hurry. We decided that Exile will stay to check the door, while I go to alert the guards. You know the rest of the story. I haven't see them get out, but I'm sure Exile tells the truth."
Exile: "All what Zeus said was the pure truth. Let me add that I was hiding while watching these men leaving the room. One of them saw me and made a sign with his hand, that if I speak up he will slash my throat. It was scary."
Exile is wondering what the tough guys said to her and she is not sure also if the guards are somehow related to them, everything could be a conspiracy.
She says with a face of confusion: "I have no problem whatsoever to go with you and check the files, I am just not sure if I would be able to recognize him, I was way to nervous and my memory is failing because of it. You would understand it was a horrible experience for me but I can give it a try and check the files and try to remember more".
Raul, with confidence in his voice - confidence given by the fact that he wasn't so directly threatened by the killers - says: "There were three really strong, mean-looking guys. They were not too tall - around 6 feet, but they looked like they eat steroids for breakfast. I'm sure others have seen them and I'm sure they can't be missed. Let me see those files."
Exile and Zeus both stick to their initial testimony. When looking over the pictures, Exile will pretend she can't identify the bad guys, even if she recognizes them. Zeus will do his best and in the eventuality that he recognizes one or more killers, he will speak up.
Exile thinks over her options and decide to ask the officer to show her again the pictures. After reviewing them, Exile points at the picture(s) of the killer(s), saying in the mean time that she can't be 100% sure, being that she was threatened and all thing happened so fast.
Zeus will wait outside to see what will happen to Exile.
Exile feels that the quicker the bad guys are arrested, the better she will feel, so she suggests they should help the investigators. Exile and Zeus will go back to the senior officer and ask him if they can be of any help. If needed, they are willing to go with the guards when the arrest will be made in order to positively identify the killers.
