"We aren't thieves or killers I promise. I'm an investigator and Azul and are helping.''

Eliot nodded steadily. "Who refered you?"
"Maxillium, at the museum." Sonic piped up. "You're a friend of his?"
"Oh yes. For years, actually."

Ajal calms down a bit, "Do you think you can open it?"

"Yes yes, of course I can," Eliot responded.

Ajal nods once, "Would you show me how please?''

Eliot looked up in surprise, then beamed excitedly, tail waving. "Yes, yes of course!"

Ajal smiles like a little kid on Christmas, "Thank you."

Eliot gestured for Ajal to join him behind the desk, and Sonic let out a chuckle. Wow, they look happy.

Ajal goes over to Eliot watching him work.

Sonic leaned up against a wall and watched as Eliot walked Ajal through what he was doing as he cracked the lock.
