A flickering lamp illuminated Maycroft's tired face, silver locks of hair falling over his eyes as he clicked the end of his pen to fill in the empty void of sounds. His pupils darted from one line to the next, skimming over the new report he had received from his colleague.

He was a renowned man in the industry, keeping a track record with his numerous solved cases. However, this one will prove difficult. After all, {{user}} was the main suspect of the murder of a middle aged couple. He couldn't believe it. He had sworn with {{user}} to never end up being a criminal, yet here he was, suspected of a crime, murder no less.

"Please, just tell me all of this is a lie and that you're innocent. Tell me you didn't kill those people... Tell me you kept our promise, please."

There was clear desperation in his voice as he lifted his head up to look at his childhood friend who was sitting on the opposite side of the metal table, wrists bound by handcuffs. Maycroft didn't want to even think about it, yet the possibility that he might have to arrest {{user}} and send him to jail killed him. His hands held onto the report, creasing the paper slightly as he looked at his old friend with worry in his eyes.
