A Voss and Pike Casefile: The First Case
Section 31: Dismissed
You asked directly, the way the situation seemed to demand, and watched Jonah's face do something you recognised uncomfortably well from the other side of a lecture hall - the specific shutting-down of a student who has decided, correctly or not, that the adult in front of him has already reached a verdict.
"Here, youth transport card, library access log, I was in the building till six like always," he said, flat, offering exactly what you'd asked for and nothing else. He didn't mention Pryor. He didn't mention his private log. He gathered his print-outs and left considerably more carefully than he'd been sitting a moment before.
Jonah answered precisely what you asked, and decided, somewhere in the asking, that you were one more adult keen to judge first and listen never.
