Alex kept watching the body for a long moment before looking back to the two detectives. Theybwere still taking notes and that was good. His own notebook was slowly filling with small observations he had never actually written down.
The first detective, he frowned a bit not liking the idea of thinking of them in terms of first and second. His nastier half would have thought of them in terms of their fear but Alex wanted a more human touch.
Regardless, the first detective asked about the nature of the fear. The specific flavors of it... Alex glanced back at the body as he considered the idea. “I could.... maybe find out. But I would rather focus on the physical evidence.” he said honestly. Feeding on the fear to learn it would only make him... hungry.
As for the second detectives follow up. Well that was an easy answer. “Yes.” he said matter of factly. Then changing track quickly he looked back to the women. “What can I call the two of you?” he asked.
