the officer quickly shook his head as he shillouted nervously

'Ah, Detective Skye! We're fine ma'am, nothing to report!'

"Detective...?"

Trucy looked at her a bit weridly

'Why's she wearing a lab coat?'

apollo rolled his eyes at her

'You're hardly one to comment on how people are dressed'

the woman looked down at the two, then back up at the officer and asked 

'And... these kids are?'

apollo pouted, just because he was short didn't mean he was a kid?!, and trucy didn't even look that younh, the officer shrugged

'Curiosity seekers, ma'am. They claim to be "lawyers"'

'Ah. Why don't you kids run along and play someplace else?'

apollo grunted in frustration as he again tried to explain that he wasn't a child, but a grown adult, who was a lawyer

'Look, we're not--'

'Or I might spill something on that pretty face of yours. Want a dose of experimental Hydroxyacelunodosetrase?'

she threatened in a very serious tone of voice

'...Come again? What's Hydroxy... stuff?'

'Whatever it is, it doesn't sound good. Let's go, Trucy!'

apollo said hurriedly, not wanting anything happening to him or to trucy, the woman looked over at the officer and ordered

'Try to keep out the riff-raff, if you would'

the officer nodded at once

'Yes ma'am!'

apollo gritted his teeth in frustration, great, now they weren't even allowed to investigate

'Grr... How are we going to get more information like this?'

trucy came up with an idea

'Why don't we ask that nice woman across the street?'

"Oh yes, that nice woman..."

he shuddered and swallowed nervously at having to speak with that lady again, apollo's eyes narrowed towards the trash can, it was the one thing that he could examine without getting into trouble with the detective or officer again, so he took his chances

'There's a big trash can on the way into the park. I guess we could check it out...'

'A detective's life sure is a hard one!'

apollo rolled his eyes at her as they both went into the trash can 

'I'm an attorney, actua... Huh?'

he stopped talking as soon as she saw two things, one, perfectly good green slippers, and, ...a broken car mirror

'Hmm. Two pieces of garbage with paint on them'

trucy said, as she took examined it

'These... are slippers. They look like those slippers you get at the hospital...'

'Look at this, Apollo! Doesn't this go on a car...?'

apollo nodded

'It's a side-view mirror! Looks like it was torn off when it smacked into something... or someone'

trucy gasped dramatically

'Wait, you don't think...'

he nodded
