The detectives were giving him all of the information that he needed - they had everything on paper and documented properly they just hadn't given that information to the former chief knowing that he wouldn't have cared at all. Most of it was reported to Nicolas who just updated everything in the system as he got the information. It wasn't long before the cops that had gone out to answer the call were returning although one of them was still laughing a little bit. "Well the call wasn't a prank call but at the same time... the cops weren't the ones to call. The kid was 8 and home alone at the time, mom had arrived home about ten minutes after we had arrived there - she had just run down the street to the store fast, kid was at home alone for maybe an hour." one of the cops was speaking at that point in time. Nothing wrong there, children between 8 and 10 were allowed to be left at home alone as long as it wasn't longer than an hour. And the child definitely knew how to keep themselves safe - he had hesitated to unlock the door for them.
"Anyways he heard a noise under his bed and when he went to look he saw something looking at him which had him get scared and run away. He was going to call his mom but realized she had left her phone there on accident so he used the house phone to call 911 - because his mom said that if he ever felt in danger and she was incapable of protecting him - because she was hurt and bleeding, she was unconscious, ect) that he should call 911. So he did because he felt in danger. Anyways we got there and he took us to his room telling us about the monster under his bed and we knelt down to see eyes staring at us from under the bed - and they did kind of look a little humanish. So proceeding with caution we did everything by the book... turns out though that a fox had snuck inside and had holed up under his bed." the cop was finishing the story after a moment in time, giving a small chuckle. Well fox eyes and human eyes were pretty similar, and to a child who didn't know any better.
