Liz's adventures in the justice system

I arrived at the police station at about 8:35am, was told to go upstairs and wait for Investigator H, and duly met him at about 8:40am. He is a pleasant man about my height, white and maybe thirty-five to forty-five years old. (I am terrible at judging people's ages

Good work all around!

It sounds like the police station is still where it was back in the dark ages. I had to go in there once to make a report when some punk kids grabbed my purse while I was walking downtown after school. I remember it as bare and dingy, yet oddly not an uncomfortable place to be.

The police station is pretty sixties institutional too, but yeah, it gives off a surprisingly comfortable atmosphere. I didn't notice that so much in July 2010, partly because it was 5am and partly because I was very shaken up, but I remember once I got out of the room with only a bench and pre-installed handcuffs in the walls, the next office (which had a functional computer) was very normal and office-like, which was subliminally reassuring.
