The demon in the garage that has been there for a week, not moving.

Did he gain entry to the dwelling, look through the window, use hearsay, or other?

The demon is a friend of a demon he employs and she conjured for his whereabouts.

He is thanked for his report; where should the IPD contact him if further developments appropriate to share with him come up?

He gives an email. 

He gets a case number to include if he submits anything else pertaining to this case.

Fine. He tells Findekáno to tell Minor this and he goes home.

After a day, an IPD officer swings by the house. Richard Moon shows him into the storage room.

"Demon, I'm with the local police. Have you been held here without task negotiation?"

Demon is gagged but tries for emphatic body language.

"Is it trying to talk?" the cop asks Richard Moon.

"It can be hard to tell sometimes," says Richard.

"Can it talk?"

"Of course not, it's not safe to let demons talk."

"...then how's it supposed to -"

"What exactly are you trying to do?"

"I'm supposed to find out if you've been holding it without task negotiation and then ask it if it's okay with that."

"Laws were probably written for angels and fairies."

Findekáno will you tell them -

I am being held without task negotiation and I am not okay with that, he informs the police officer.

"Ack!" says the police officer. "Since when are demons telepathic?"

"What? They're not," says Moon.

It's a new application of chiplocked computer technology. Please let me go home I'm only fourteen he hasn't even talked to me I don't know what he wants I just want to get dismissed.

"This one is!"

"It hasn't telepathed at me, are you hearing things?"

"I - uh -"

The demon curls up and starts crying.

"...it's crying."

"You're hearing voices."

"Are you saying you can't see it crying, because I can take a picture and get corroboration if you want to dispute that."

"No, I see it."

"Send it home, Moon."

"It -"

"Send it home or we can get more people involved with the crying teenager you're keeping in your storeroom."

Sigh. "Fine."

Police officer gets a smile.

And Minor goes to Hell.

He writes asking to go home please.

Home. Hug.

"Wanna go ask him why."

Squeeze. "I'm not sure that's a good idea. There are lots of places that need demons, Minor, why don't you -"

"There are lots of places that need demons and demons have really good reasons not to answer summons - and I have advantages at changing that -"

"Yeah. Just - look, when I was about your age -"
