*wonders, not for the first time, if he should have had the lot of you evaluated by a psychiatrist—latent trauma and emotional dependence might account for some of what he's seeing here, and neither is exactly conducive to useful testimony*
He issued the first alert
*checks his notes before replying* Yes, he did, but according to your own security footage and the Hammer's records, that alert was issued nearly fifteen minutes after he arrived at the Fountain. Ten minutes after the perpetrator fled the premises. *perhaps unneccessarily, but he wants to be sure you understand the implication:* That's quite a head start.
*rests his forearms on the desk* My concern here is that it simply may not have occurred to Erestor to react to what he saw, until 'Amir' was already out of sight and long gone. That is why I ask whether he exhibited any odd behavior before then—I'm trying to rule out the possibility that he might have fallen victim to the same mental tampering as did most of our other witnesses.
