Have you received any information yet? [Someone is terribly impatient.]

[chose_death]

[Javert's eyes are cast down in a rare act of humbled respect toward Franziska, his lips twisted in a grimace.]

Nothing good, Mademoiselle Prosecutor. Unfortunately. Not yet.

[perfektioniert]

[Not the answer she likes to hear.]

And there are still no leads within your own foolish investigation? Even after a month?

[chose_death]

Such is the case of the matter.

[There is a subtle twitch in his jaw.]

We can say the murderess's rough size, strength, the shape of her hand. I am sorry to say it is little use without a proper witness, not without identifying prints. I cannot play Cinder-Ella with a bloody palm on the wall, you understand.

That would require a different warrant.

[Franziska knows well enough just how difficult this case is becoming.]

There is pressure on us to complete this case by the end of the month, I'm sure that you've heard. While I personally am uninvolved in the way this case progresses or in how much it so foolishly lags behind, I have my own reasons for wanting it to be over and done with quickly.

What else do you need to ensure the murderess is locked up before Halloween?

[chose_death]

[Javert almost lets slip a very low, incredulous scoff. Instead it manifests as a dry, intent stare.]

I thought I said already there is little to be done but to wait and to watch. I need more evidence. Or an eyewitness and a positive identification. [And he adds in a murmur, frowning,] A blessing from the Eternal Father himself on this wretched case, maybe.

[perfektioniert]

[Her sharp expression immediately hardens back to her usual scorn for him. Her eyes narrow.]

Then hurry up and get it done, you fool! There is precious little time left for this case to complete before yet another victim is taken!

[chose_death]

[Javert probably spends five seconds too long simply staring at Franziska in that calm, slightly melancholic, fierce way.]

--Until she is bagged, then. Good day, Mademoiselle Prosecutor.

[He bows into the feed and takes his leave.]
