Near nodded, then let out a sigh, hands in his lap. "They were talking... about how the kid they killed, Jamie, was gay, and how they didn't want someone like that going to the same school as their brothers. They were doing a public service by killing him. One of them, the tallest, said that it wasn't a real crime, because he wasn't really a person."

A surge of hot rage went through Gevanni's body, and he swallowed it back, because god fucking dammit, idiots infuriated him. "Thank you. Do you remember what their voices sound like? Would you be able to identify them, if there was a lineup?"

Near nodded, sure that he would. "I would be able to remember their voices, if they were in a line up." The boy said, smiling at Gevanni. Even though Gevanni hid it well, he saw the anger that was there, but didn't say anything about it. "I'll do a lineup, too. I want... to be able to sleep at night."

Gevanni chuckled, "That's a very good thing, near. Thank you." He murmured, "do you have any recollection of what they were wearing at the time?" He asked, having to be thorough.

Near paused a moment. "The tallest of them was wearing a white shirt, black jeans and blue sneakers. The shorter one was wearing a black t shirt, jeans, and white sneakers. The fat-heaviest one, was wearing a shirt with a logo on the back of it, it was faded, but it said some kind of hot water company. He was wearing boots, like the Timberland work boots."

Listening to the details, he jotted them down, quickly making sure to get them correct. "good, thank you. And did you notice any facial features? Or tattoos?"

"One of them, the one with the boots, had a tattoo on his arm, on his bicep." He said, wondering how to describe it. "It was a design, black and red... I can probably draw it, but I don't know how to explain it. It... was a cross, with red serpents wrapped around it and fire."

The pen dropped out of Gevanni's hands. "Wait, describe it again. Slower, see if you can pick up any details. Words, numbers, anything." He demanded. This... No, this wasn't just some lynching. This was gang activity. He knew that sign. Knew it from the registry of gang symbols the united states goverment puts out each year.

"There were words engraved in the cross in white ink with a black outline." The whitenette added. "But I don't think it was... a word. It was just the letters A W P." Near took the notepad that Gevanni had and then a pen and started to draw it. There was a cross in the middle, but the horizontal piece of wood was higher than it was on a traditional cross. There was fire at the bottom of the cross, with two serpents coiling around it. Then, there were words engraved into the wood of the cross which he drew with some space between the letters, so it went all the way dozen the vertical part of the cross.

Fuck. Fuck, fuck, fuck. Of course. It was a branch of the same damn gang he'd been working on in new york. He sighed, "Thank you, Near. I really do appreciate this. Is there anything else you can think of off the top of your head?" He asked, tilting his head.

The teenager thought about it for a minute. "I think... one of them had a gun tucked into the back of his jeans. My dad owns guns. A lot of them, I think it was a .45 caliber hand gun." He said softly, that being one of the reasons he was too afraid to move and didn't want to be seen by anyone.

"Then you did the right thing, not jumping out. Good for you, Near. You were very brave." He smiled, "Alright, I have no further questions. Thank you for your time." He turned off the recorder, and grinned, "See? That wasn't so hard!"

Near smiled at him and nodded. "Yeah... it was much easier than I thought." He said standing up, letting out a sigh. "Was this good enough?" He asked, biting his lip. "S-So um... am I doing the sketch thing today? I can if you need me to be." He said, smiling at him. Near finally felt safe and was willing to do whatever he could to make this right.

Gevanni smiled, "Yeah, I meant it when I said the sketch artist was coming. He won't be here until around five though. So..." He smiled, "Wanna watch something on tv?" He offered, pointing to the tv that the department kept in case something happened on the news.

Near smiled at him. "I don't suppose you have a deck of cards around here, do you?" The boy asked, a legitimate question for him. He wondered if they did and if it would be okay for him to build something in an interview room.
