Lux glanced from Franklin to Thomas.
"Why are you doing this? Why aren't you arresting me?"
Franklin nodded. "I'm sorry you had to experience such a terrible tragedy."
"But why? What's the point of all this?"
"The purpose of our organization is to find the truth. To discover what really happened here. That is more important than anything else. Our goal is to punish anyone who is guilty. We have taken all these steps to guarantee the execution of justice."
"So what do you need me to do?"
"Work with us; you can still be associated with the detective agency, but you'll be working with us from now on."
"What case are we taking?"
"All of them."
"I have one condition."
Thomas folded his arms. "And what's that?"
"My partner will come too."
"Fine by me."
"Then I accept."
