      The Conversation

      To Catch a Shadow

      Previously:

      Hanich, is the apprentice to a gentleman named Mr. Scrimm. Mr. Scrimm is the proprietor of the Kitchen. The Kitchen offers comfort to those in extraordinary situations in a neighborhood called the Academia, which is an epicenter of unusual events. Some of those in such situations are patient, and ill-deserving of such unusual maladies, others, deserving or not, have taken a darker turn.

      Inquiry

      The room was small and plain. The walls were whitewashed, the table was washed out woodgrain. There were four chairs which were all occupied. There were three windows, high up. They gave light to the room but did not offer anything in the way of a view.

      This is an inquiry into the events of March eighth through March tenth, The magistrate said. Today we interview the young man Hanich Argus. He is stationed as an apprentice to Mr. Alster Scrimm, at a soup kitchen which is called the Kitchen. He is accompanied by an employee of Societal Services by the name of Ellie Meno who is here to protect the interests of the young man.

      We would like to remind the young man, on the record, that at this time no charges have been brought to bear. This inquiry is part of the investigation process. Let it also be a matter of record that Mr. Argus is not a person of interest in this investigation, rather the young man is a witness to certain events during these three days, and is known for his ability to give particular attention to details. Do you understand all of this Mr. Argus?

      Of course I do sir, the young man said. I’m all too glad to help, but my name is Hanich, most people call me ‘Itch’.

      While we recognize that the young man is customarily addressed in a non-formal manner, the magistrate said. Such would not serve the purposes of this inquiry.

      Fair enough, Hanich said.
