Opening his eyes, he noticed there were people that he didn’t recognize. Why were they all here? His eyes drifted over to the young lady. For a second he thought, but no, it wasn’t Adeline. She had beautiful hair like Adeline, and a smile that lit up the room. Oh yes, he’d seen her when he was eating at the Raven’s Claw. There was something else…something he couldn’t put his finger on. Then he noticed his knapsack. How dare that young man steal his knapsack.
‘Hey…you…young man. Give me back my knapsack. How dare you steal that from me. Didn’t your mother teach you right from wrong?’ Trying to stand up, he realized that his hands were bound, making it difficult. He tried to lunge for the kid, but the table was in the way. Reaching his hands out, he said, ‘Now, get these off me and give me back my knapsack. You keep your hands off Adeline. She’s mine, do you hear me…MINE!’
His eyes went back to the young lady, so like Adeline... Holding up his bound hands once again, he implored her, ‘Please help me. Why are you doing this to me. I haven’t done anything to any of you. I just want my Adeline. Please...’ Amelia had suspected that he was bottling something up, but was all the same shocked by the sudden outburst. There was obviously more to this that they had originally thought. Amelia felt a sinking feeling in her stomach, it felt awful to just sit there and watch him plead with her, his eyes boaring into hers. It felt uncomfortable, but she knew that they had to be professional, not only to get the job done, but for Flooing's own good. Quote:

He frowned and took a couple of steps back as the man stood up and attempted to lunge at him. Who was Adeline? It appeared that he was getting Amelia confused with her. He looked at her with a bewildered expression. Flooing really was nuts. He watched as the man then started to beg Amelia to help him. He gaze dropped to the floor – he felt sick to the stomach – this was horrible. Flooing needed medical help, not an audience… and this questioning was only causing the poor old man stress.

She is safe. You are safe. Please, take a seat. I'm afraid, we have to take your knapsack sir. I'm sorry, but we must." Nicoli breathed out very slowly, calming his nerves.
He decided to try again, "Mr.Flooing, my name is Nicoli." He stared imploringly at the old man, his hands at his side. Nicoli turned slightly, "Nathan, I think you should give the evidence to Amelia. It might calm him." Nicoli's face was reassuring. If he could get the man to calm down. It would all be alright. Turning back to the old man, Nicoli smiled warmly and conjured a mug of steaming hot coco for the old man, and set it down in front of Floyd. "Please, sit," he said, gesturing to the chair behind the old man. "Tell me...please, tell me about Adeline."

Floyd sunk to the chair and leaned forward on the table and whispered, ‘So now it’s my turn. I send people there. I send the people you love there…maybe they don’t come back either. See how you like it.’ He laughed quietly and nodded his head. ‘Yes, see how you like it.’ It was like the peny dropped. Of course this would be the reason behind Flooing's campaign. It was out of love and loneliness. It was amazing how many people set such store for these emotions yet underestimate them so much. Quote:

He met her eyes and gave her an almost apologetic look. “Alright?” he whispered. She must have been feeling the same way as him surely. Nate was beginning to think he wasn’t cut out for the MLES.
His eyes flickered back to Flooing as he started wailing. He was distressed, but Nicoli was doing well getting anything at all out of him.
Amelia took hold of the knapsack from Nathan and caught his eyes. There was a sadness to them that she felt too. She gave him a short warm smile as if to say, 'we'll get through this', and then held the pack close to her. "Mr Flooing we want to help and get to the bottom of this as best we can, but we need your help. Adeline sounds like an amazing woman, could you tell me more about her?" Amelia asked, taking a seat with Nicoli, handling the knapsack gently so Flooing could see she was doing so with respect. It was something that her father had taught her and it always stuck with her. It doesn't matter what they have done, whilst in custody, they are our guests so treat them with respect.
