"It's okay. Not like you have a girlfriend to worry about her changing opinion. I am sure she will understand it's just an interrogation."
William let out a slight chuckle as he said those words. Zoravec felt like somebody just stabbed him hard across his heart. Only if he could spit out blood like those characters in the toons.
Zoravec could not hold back himself and choked on his own saliva. He could not help but wonder why William would say something like that. However, Zoravec had to gently punch himself on the chest in order to prevent himself from choking further. He looked at the cop who was smiling by now, it appeared he was teasing Zoravec.
But why was William getting so friendly with Zoravec? It simply did not make any sense considering he was already suspicious of him. There was possibly no motive for him not to arrest Zoravec, but then again he had no proof for his non-existent scent. And without any such thing he could not arrest him even if he wanted to.
Zoravec stole a few brief glances at the cop as his cough soon died and turned into a feeble wheezing. He began to breathe deeply to make his breathing regular. However, William was completely in a different mood, he deliberately brought up the girlfriend matter to set the ground for his further questions, he was determined to trap Zoravec into some wordplay to extort further information.
When Zoravec was coughing his body reflexively moved forward as his shoulders were brought a bit downwards. It enabled William to see his schoolbag and due to his exceptional senses he could see that little red spot on the upper side of his bag. The dried blood spot was near the zip of the bag, but due to its small size it was not visible to anyone.
However, nothing could hide from William! He was one of the best cops and had exceptional skills to track down what other cops could not. He immediately knew that strange scent was coming from that small stain of blood. It took him a while to pickup the stretch of that rotten blood spot. But now he had already figured out that, the next step was to test the blood to know the person it belonged to.
Yes! It was one of his major abilities. William was known for his crazy ways of investigating, he could get on the nerves of suspects easily. However, he was mainly, notoriously known for his ways of testing the blood samples of victims. It appeared that his tongue remembered all the tastes and his taste buds were able to distinguish the differences. After all, each blood group tasted different, and the addition of DNA made the differences significant.
Meanwhile, William was wondering how Zoravec even got a blood stain which had an aura unlike his own blood. It made him contemplate how to touch that stain so he could receive some remnants to test. On the other hand, Zoravec was not aware of that spot of blood at all. He had no clue from where it came over his bag. Only if he had known that the moment when Zoravec touched the blood over his mouth while he was at Lyra's place.
It was the moment when the blood came over his hands and haphazardly he dashed towards his school bag. During that grabbing the blood was stained over the bag, which did not go unnoticed by William. It completely skipped Zoravec's mind since he was so confused and frightful by her sudden death. He only wasted his clothes and completely forgot about the school bag.
That mere one pea sized blood droplet became his doom!
The other students stopped a few steps away from Zoravec, their questioning eyes still seeing both of them chatting. They began to gather around to see what was happening between them. It was not a surprise for any of them if Zoravec was disclosed as being involved in some illegal activities. Since he had a questionable reputation in the school it made Zoravec the prime target.
"Hah! Don't be so shy now. I saw you both boys quarreling over there."
William hinted towards the moment when Zoravec and Simon had a feud a while ago. The very words said by the cop made Zoravec panic a bit, he did not intend to let it surface but the sudden change in Zoravec's pupils indicated everything. William smiled at him and patted Zoravec over his shoulder as he carefully yet slyly pushed his hand backwards.
William performed his touch so sneakily that Zoravec did not feel him reaching the school bag. It would have been a shame for the cop if Zoravec could sense his movements. Nonetheless, William was successfully able to touch that very spot as he patted over his shoulder trying to console him. Zoravec was still unable to comprehend the reason of his friendliness and the unusual behaviour displayed by a high ranked cop like him.
It was strange for William to act friendly like that with an ordinary human like Zoravec. It appeared that perhaps the cop was deliberately making things worse for Zoravec. After all, whatever the other students had witnessed that day, it definitely left a negative impression on then regarding Zoravec. Whereas, William was still adamant to talk about the things furthermore. He stepped back a little and slipped both his hands behind his back by tucking them above his hips.
"What!? But I don't even have a gir-"
His suspicion filled nonchalant stare and the friendly tone were extremely contrasting things which Zoravec felt at that moment. He tried to reply to his words but before he could deny and correct the so called accusation William interrupted him. Zoravec gritted his teeth upon the interruption because that simply permitted William to assume whatever he liked. No doubt Zoravec wanted to correct him and it mildly angered him too that William did not hear him out first.
However, he was also aware that any kind of reckless behaviour will endanger his freedom and hence an uncertain future. If Zoravec did anything naughty then it would not take a second for William to trap Zoravec into some false case. It was still unsure whether he was going to abuse his powers or not but Zoravec knew it was just wise to keep his mouth shut. Whereas William rubbed his thumb and index finger to smear the faint remnants of the dried blood.
He knew the authentic testing could only be done all alone!
