darker_london | Interrogation (Igby, Angus, Pauline, Michael) [backdated]

Igby was generally awkward in social situations at the best of times. Now, however, he was angry and he wasn't really allowed to let it show. He had decided that Pauline and Angus O'Reilly were terminal assholes, but he still had to question them if he wanted to get a better idea of where their missing son was. And they hadn't even offered him any tea

"I'm sorry, Iggy-" Pauline started. They were sitting in the small kitchen, crowded around a small table, and Pauline and Angus were staring at Igby as if he had been the one to steal Flynn away from them.

"My name is Igby."

"Your name is Igby?" Angus said with a laugh.

"Your name is Angus, which means a kind of Scottish cow," Igby informed Angus, matter-of-factly. Angus did not look impressed. "Now why don't you tell me what you remember about the day your son left." He could have said the day they kicked him out, but he had just called the man a cow, so he figured he should pull that particular punch.

"We just...gave him some money and he left!" Pauline sounded like she was panicking.

Igby scrawled note in his notepad as he watched them carefully. He always constantly took notes. It tended to unsettle people. "How much money did you give him?"

"A...about a thousand quid."

Igby nodded as he wrote. "And did he mention how he was intended to leave? Taxi, bus, plane, train, ferry?"

Pauline shook her head. "He didn't say-"

"Check...transport-" Igby mumbled as he wrote. "Has some money- With that kind of money he could have gotten quite far."

Pauline and Angus simply stared at Igby and then he lifted his eyes to meet theirs. "I would like to see his room in case it has clues as to his whereabouts in it." And then he quickly scribbled more notes without realising he was speaking aloud. "Parents...rude. No tea."

When Igby returned to his car, his younger brother, Michael was waiting for him. Igby slid into the passenger seat and he poked his brother in the shoulder. "Now is the time for driving."

Michael gave his brother a strange look and then he started up the car. "Where to?"

"We'll start with the airport."

Michael nodded and he pulled away from the kerb. He pointed the car towards Belfast before he said, "so, how did it go."

"They were assholes. It went fine."

Michael snorted. "Assholes, hmm?"

Igby nodded. "Anyone who would kick their child out is an asshole. You are driving like a grandmother."

"Yeah yeah. Go back to your notes, Wings."

"They didn't even offer me any tea."
