<Lieutenant_Carlos> Alejandro Sabillos, resident at 119 Evergreen, San Cristobal Norte.
<Lieutenant_Carlos> Is this correct?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Yes
<Detective_Marquez> And you played host to three individuals and their white minivan?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Sure. Esmeralda stayed over a lot. The others dropped by sometimes.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> The van was not mine
<Detective_Marquez> Are you aware of what your three guests did yesterday?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Not entirely sure. I knew they were going to hit someone
<Detective_Marquez> They decapitated Pierre Desjardins, the retired Speaker.
<Lieutenant_Carlos> And if you don't cooperate, you're looking at being charged with criminal enterprise in first-degree murder.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Sure I'll cooperate, as long as you don't put me behind bars for the rest of my life.
<Detective_Marquez> I'm sure we can work something out.
<Detective_Marquez> Now tell me,
<Detective_Marquez> you don't look like an Islamist terrorist that'd go around chopping off cabinet ministers' heads.
<Detective_Marquez> What role did you play in all of this?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> And you don't look like a detective. Looks are deceiving. I'm just a friend. didn't kill anyone.
<Detective_Marquez> Mhm.
<Detective_Marquez> So what did you do?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> I let Esmeralda use my house as a base for her planning. The other two came over sometimes to do it in person.
<Detective_Marquez> Were you privy to any of their discussions?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Sometimes, when I wanted to be. I can tell you only a little bit.
<Detective_Marquez> A little is better than what we have now, which is to say nothing.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Well they've been going for a few months. You must not be investigating very hard.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Anyway, they were under orders from the boss
<Lieutenant_Carlos> The boss?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Yeah. Nestor.
<Detective_Marquez> Nestor.
<Detective_Marquez> Do you know anything about this man?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Only that he's kind of far away. Controls things from afar.
<Detective_Marquez> Mhmf.
<Lieutenant_Carlos> Anyways, I believe we got distracted by this talk of Nestor.
<Detective_Marquez> Yes.
<Detective_Marquez> Go on about what you knew please, Mr. Sabillos.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Not much else. They were secretive. I heard talks of meetings in other places in the city, but no details.
<Detective_Marquez> Not even a place name or two?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Nothing. I got the impression that they were planning for this type of attack for a long time, and only recently got the specific detail that it would be whomever their target was.
<Detective_Marquez> This group.
<Detective_Marquez> Do they have a name?
<Detective_Marquez> Some sort of moniker by which they call themselves?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> They called themselves painters.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> But it was a casual term.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> I don't know about the group name.
<Detective_Marquez> So you say you let them use your house for planning. What was your relation with them before this?
<Lieutenant_Carlos> How long have you been friends?
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Esmeralda is my second cousin. I've known her since we were kids.
<Detective_Marquez> Thank you for your time and information Mr. Sabillos.
<Lieutenant_Carlos> We will make sure that you won't be arraigned on any serious charges.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> I'm trusting you on that.
<Lieutenant_Carlos> Misprision, 2 years is what we heard in the office.
<Alejandro_Sabillos> Sounds right.
