Moving A Witness (Private)

"You will learn in time." Was all Garth said in reply to Andrei's question, with that he would gesture to a nearby officer who approached and unlocked Andrei's cell. The assassin killer would then be escorted out of the cramped area that made up SHAPCA to a vehicle with very few window. The door to the back seat would open, and both Garth and another officer would join him. It seemed like an normal car from Piltover, but the windows were only one way. Officers could look out, but people would not be able to look in. Granted, only those who paid attention to the car window would be able to notice this detail.

Caitlyn's apprentice sat in a seat across from Andrei, meeting the man's glare. This man most likely did not like him, and perhaps never would. Then again...did he know what it was like to have your city attacked and people you may know killed at any given moment? Perhaps, he was in the army after all. Regardless, now that they were in a more secure location so now he could give Andrei the details. The vehicle would rumble to life as it began to drive the group to wherever they were going. "You are being taken to a hotel where you will stay with police guards on duty to ensure you do not flee. The blue prints we confiscated from you, and your arm will be re-enabled soon. Your arm will be disabled if you fail to show up for parole, or attempt to flee from Piltover. If you do not cooperate and arrive at Vi's trial then you will be held in contempt of court, and then you will face jail time. Assuming you cooperate with us then your armor and weaponry will be returned after the trial is concluded." Caitlyn's apprentice would eye Andrei to see if he understood the conditions before verbally asking, "Are we clear?"

Garth leaned back against the seats once Andrei agreed. That was most certainly one thing out of the way, he would reactivate his arm and give him the blueprints back once they got to the hotel and he was secure. Granted, the concern of Andrei breaking out was always there, and if he did then....Garth would catch him. Granted, the young man would have assumed that Andrei would have been at least a little thankful, but apparently not. He could only speculate that killing people for a living hardens a person to any type of kindness or gift. The young man shivered at that thought as he looked out toward the city noting the damaged buildings and reconstruction process. Piltover wasn't the shining city it used to be, and it made him sad. His home was being destroyed ,and he had yet to catch the criminal...granted Caitlyn would probably not let him within two thousand feet of Jinx. However, this was all speculation at this point, and Garth would look back at the assassin hunter across from him.

"You know, you could be called in Vi's defense as a lay witness. Someone who could testify to the Vi you know and her actions in Zaun. Some may call it irrelevant, but I like to think that she didn't mean to. She was one of my role models, perhaps not my favorite one, but she was one of them." He would say, not really expecting a reply at all, but figured that he might as well make small talk.

Garth's eyes turned away from the window when Andrei began to inquire about his purpose here, and the fact that Andrei knew he was a Zaunite. This caused the officer next to Andrei to give Garth a look, one that he had seen a few other times before when he was back in school. A look of distrust or dislike, though the officer's was a bit different from the others. It wasn't as bad as the other looks, rather there was still trust in the man's eyes, however he did take note of Garth's heritage. After all it takes a Zaunite to know a Zaunite. It was here that the young detective in training noticed that he did perceive a difference in attitude in a fellow police officer. Was this Caitlyn's training paying off, was he getting better at reading people? A soft but proud smile cross his lips as he came to this realization, however he had a professional conduct to maintain. The smile was gone as fast as it came. The young man began to cross his arms across his chest, when he realized what that would no doubt convey to the assassin before him. That body language would convey that Andrei had touched on a sensitive topic, and that he was closing himself off to Andrei, indicating that he subconsciously did not want to talk about. However, he would ponder whether or not to tell the truth.

As he pondered this, he began to tap his finger on the side of the car door. The finger was covered in the gauntlet of metal that made up his mana converter. Each tap made a soft dinging noise, and after the third tap he would finally answer Andrei. "Yes I am Zaunite by birth, let's simply say that Zaun's scientific philosophy and I did not see eye to eye." There was a dry chuckle at the ironic pun he had just made. Given the fact that his father had taken his normal eye and replaced it, giving him the augmented eye and a fresh scar to go along with it. Granted, he would allow his father to keep the eye if it meant that Garth could get his mother back. Heck, he still never knew what happened to her, besides the fact that she sacrificed herself to allow Garth to escape another mad scientist. Perhaps it was the same mad scientist that took some of his classmates when he was at school in Zaun. "My goal is to find a way to change Zaun, for the better, and I hope that I have found the answer here. Why do you care anyway? I'm a bad guy in your eyes, someone who has wrongly accused you. Why does it matter what I am doing here?"
