"Now", Theo said, seeing that Allison had decided to stay, "Could you please find me the names of the young people who were involved in criminal activity in the last thirteen years? Perhaps, our man had done similar things.. Then cross that list with the age range of 20-25.. He could be in those left.."
Theo got up and said: "Follow me." He went to the office next room that was empty. There was a computer there too. He turned it on and gave instructions to Allison how to handle the police records in there. "Now, I want you also to search with murders similar to that of your parents.. Perhaps, this can lead us to a clue.. Bring in your results with the names that you will find and we'll compare with mine.. We'll see if any of the names matches.. Got it?" Theo said and waited for Allison to ask any questions..

Allison had never been the greatest with computers but she was a quick learner and preferred to figure things out on her own rather than ask for help on how to do something. She had always been like that, for as long as she could remember, no matter what it was she had to do.
Sitting down at the computer she searched through their files a bit, before figuring out where to type in her information. Surprisingly, for never having really typed anything before, her fingers flew over the keys in seconds. A list came up on the screen and using that list, Allison typed in another search for those in the assumed ages of the supposed killer.
Once she found that, she printed the list out. Turning to the computer again, she started a new search, looking for anything that was similar to the murder she had described to Mr Leon earlier. Coming up with a new list, she printed that out as well. After checking the names on both, she tried to eliminate a few that didn't match up, leaving her with only a handful of names.
Allison stood and took the sheets with her back to Mr Leon. She set them down on his desk and seated herself across from him. "Not much there, but that is what I found," she told him.

Theo returned back to his office and sat down looking at his computer screen. He had soon found all men aged 20-25 and immediately downloaded their descriptions. A few names had brown hair...Theo printed those just on time to see Allison return..
"Well done Miss Malne", he said with a smile. "As you can see here, I have the names of a few suspects for the murder and I am very interested to look on the list you prepared for me"
Theo took the list from Allison's hands and gave it a glance. He then put his own list next to that and compared them. It seemed that none of the names matched. Theo gave a quick look to Allison and said: "None matches... Damn.."
Theo was now very puzzled.. What should they do? Then suddenly an idea passed through his mind. He immediately put the lists down and turned to his computer.. He started typing with anxiety hoping that his idea would be successful..

Allison didn't even realize she was holding her breath until Mr Leon finished comparing the two lists. She blew out her breath slowly, wishing they could have found something instead of nothing like they did. It would have made her life a lot easier if she knew she had something to go on with this.
Then Mr Leon turned to his computer again and began typing vigorously. Allison's brow furrowed in confusion towards what he was doing. She stood up and walked around the desk so she was standing beside his chair, peering over his shoulder at what he was doing.

Theo saw that Allison was confused about his actions. He started explaining speaking quickly, but making it understandable to Allison. "Now, I think I made a mistake when i told you to search for similar murders as that of your parents. The killer wouldn't be so careless. If he started killing since that young age, he must be a professional". Theo paused for a breath and then continued: "It won't be so easy to find him, so now i am searching exclusive files that the police has only got in this computer. These files refer to the people who were suspects for murder in the last years. Since out man is a pro, this means that we'll only find his name just a few times."
At the same time, Theo ordered the computer to search for names referred to only five times maximum. A list of names appeared. He then continued in a more calm tone in his voice: "As you can see Miss Malne we cannot investigate everyone of them.. But.. We can compare this list with the list of suspects in your own parent's murder..."
Theo did that and breathless expected for the results.. A short list of names appeared. He printed it and put it next to the list of names he had printed a while ago with men of age 20-25 and brown hair...
Theo shouted enthusiastically!! Three names matched.. But, to his great astonishment, one had died last year and still not deleted from police records.. The other could not be investigated since he didn't live in the city anymore and Allison seemed to believe that the killer was still in the city.. Theo looked at the last name.. It was impossible!! The last name was the name of the son of Bruke, the baron of crime in the city.. Bruke, the crime lord, had now retired from crime (or he still was in it, as Theo believed) and lived in his rich mansion on the borders of the city.. His son's name was here.. But, Theo could do nothing.. The Brukes had too much power.. He couldn't just go on and investigate them.. He turned to Allison expecting to see her reaction to this...

Allison nodded as he explained what he was doing. She watched the computer monitor over his shoulder, her eyes taking in the details of each page. It was force of habit that made her look so closely at things like that. Possibly since she had always loved puzzles as a child, and to her, a mystery was a puzzle with missing pieces you had to go and search for. Sure it may be a tedious thing, but the end result was always rewarding.
The color drained from Allison's face as she saw the name on the list Theo had pointed to. She had run into him once when she was ten. It wasn't the most pleasant experiences and she had hoped never to see him again. But it would appear she would see him now. What did it matter anyways? Allison's goal was mainly to kill him, not that she could tell Mr Leon that - he wouldn't approve of it.

((This thread is taking place before the brutal attack Theo went through in the streets.. He is now going for that patrol that the attack happened..))
Theo was breathless.. Allison was pale.. Dyson Bruke.. What chance did they have??
Theo shook his head and said: "Now, Miss Malne, I am really sorry.. I need some time to think.. I am going for a patrol.. I think you should stay here.."
He padded her on her shoulder and said in a friendly tone: "Don't worry... Allison..", calling her Allison for the first time.. He picked up his hat and headed to the exit.. He turned around.. "Take care of things for the time I will be gone.."

((That works for me))
Allison nodded slowly as he said he had to leave. When he said she should stay she opened her mouth to protest. It wasn't that she didn't want to stay there alone, it was the fact that he was making her wait there. He silenced her though by patting her shoulder and telling her not to worry. She wasn't worrying but she closed her mouth. She just nodded again.
