||:Chapter 7- Suspicion:||

'It's been two days since we've caught The Red Bandit and learned of his connection to Sheriff Thompson, I feel bad for the man as he spoke like they were real close with one another.'
'But yesterday the Sheriff had asked the Mayor for more details about The Bandit's crime especially on what he did and he plans to talk to The Red Bandit today, and I'm quite nervous but I trust the Sheriff.'

Edward put his dairy back on the shelf, took a drink from his cola, grabbed his hat and went out to meet with Sheriff Thompson.
"Morning, Sheriff!", "Mornin'.", Edward smiled as he walked up to him, he was sitting on the steps of his department with his flask,"Is The Mayor already inside?", "Yep. Just waiting for you.", Thompson stood up, taking one last drink before closing the flask and heading inside with Edward who was nervous on what Thompson was about to do.

The Mayor leaned over to Edward,"If Thompson gets violent, you will have to be the one to drag him out.", Edward nods and they turn their attention back to Thompson.
The Red Bandit glared at Thompson who wasn't glaring back but had this cold expression
. . .
"So, I can confirm your Tord correct?", "Of course.", Thompson shrugged, tipping his hat a bit before looking at Tord again,"Just want to be sure because, after sleeping on the new information I came to a thought.", Tord leaned back waiting for the Detective to speak.
"Then why did you not use firearms?"
Tord looked up,"Huh?", Thompson rubbed the back of his neck,"Well, it's just Tord has an obsession with firearms so after getting some paper work, I noticed none of your cases gave any involvement with guns and the fact you didn't shoot me and kill me the night we met stuck out to me.", Edward and the Mayor were surprised, Paul and Patryck looked over at Tord who seemed to be silent, liking he was letting those words sink in.
. . .
Thompson smiled, he was very calm,"Just a detail I noticed, but it was highly out of character for you.", "Well, the gun would have attracted attention and I wasn't planning to get caught so soon.", Thompson shrugged, turning away,"I suppose so. But we have a week till we your parents arrive so anything you wanna confess or say, I'm all ears.", with that Thompson left, the Mayor and Edward following close behind him.

"What was that about Sheriff?", Thompson turned to Edward and The Mayor, he took a drink of his flask and turned to them with a very calm expression.
"I don't believe that's Tord."
Edward and The Mayor were surprised,"What?", "As I said inside, Tord had an obsession with guns and still does to this day last I heard from him. So the fact that all the Bandit's kills died by a knife and not a gun is a red flag to me.", Edward was nervous,"You think something fishy is going on?", "Heck yeah I do. But I just have to find a way to prove it.", they were interrupted by the train and were surprised.
. . .
"HELLO, MY HEROES!"
. . .
"Who The hell invited Prince Matt."
"I think he's here to visit."
Thompson groaned and drank more from his flask to help him deal with the Prince's presence.
