Julian didn't particularly fancy going to investigate stupid calls like these. But his superior insisted that he do it, and as much as he grumbled about it, he did as he was told. He didn't like routine 'investigating', then again it was too much to ask for actual murders or kidnappings. Either way, it was street work, and Julian was accustomed to it. Well, it did beat sitting on his ass all day doing write ups.
Chinatown was a pretty interesting place, if he said so himself. There wasn't as much crime as Pigalle (honestly, he just avoided that place), but that wasn't saying much. Still, he had no need to peruse the shops. He started at the little slip of paper. It was a set of directions he had written down earlier, though he doubted anyone could read it but him.
He entered the shop, barely fighting the urge to cough at the shop. Though he really shouldn't have expected anything less - it was a smoke shop, after all.

The shop smells strong of incense and tobacco smoke. Even as the man takes a step into the store, Eztli sits at his counter with a pipe in his mouth.
The bell on the front door rings and it catches Eztli's attention, a smile tugging at his lips. "Hello," he starts, sitting up straighter, though still not at all formal. "Can I help you?"

Julian looked up at the voice.
Suddenly he realized just why there even was a call. This guy looked suspicious. Then again, if there was a call for every suspicious looking person out there, all the cops would be out in the street and there would be no time for actual investigation of real crimes. Still, the call had said 'suspicious activity from a suspicious person' at this location.
Though, beside the general shadiness of the store itself, and the guy running it, he didn't see much amiss. Looked like any old shop, really. "Oh, yes. I received a call about suspicious activity around here. Do you mind if I take a look around and ask you some questions? Shouldn't take too long, just routine check ups."
It was good to give the benefit of the doubt though. The store owner might, after all, be a victim.

A call? How curious...
"I don't mind," he replies as he stands there at the counter, standing out of the officer's way. "Please, do what you have to, sir. Let me know if I'm in your way."
It's interesting, a mysterious phone call. Suspicious activity. He has one person in mind that would even put in a phone call like that.
Riley.
He'll have to have a little... talk... with him sometime soon.

He smiled - at least the guy's being cooperative. No usual backtalk. He didn't even need to show his badge. Then again, his attire was not exactly casual clothes sort of stuff, and he was packing a gun (not that anyone could actually see it).
Julian browsed around the store - nothing out of the ordinary. He doesn't have a warrant so he can't search the back door - but it doesn't seem like there's anything of note anyways. It's all pretty standard to what meets his eye.
"Have there been any crimes here recently? How about anyone weird hanging about your store?"

His thin brows quirk. Anyone weird? Crimes? Who does he think he's talking to? But, aha, such a shame he has no idea.
"No, not that I can think of... though..." He pauses for dramatic effect, but makes it out like he's thinking deeply about something. "There was this kid... He kicked my legs--and he even bit me!"
The strigoi clicks his tongue.
"I guess he was mad that I wouldn't let him inside. This isn't a place for kids, you know."

Julian's just about resigned himself to the fact that this call was all for naught and he should go back to the station (and file this report on how absolutely nothing out of the ordinary happened), until this suspicious guy starts taking about a kid. He doesn't think that a kid could actually do much harm to him, anyway, but his interest is piqued. Maybe this was the disturbance? It did seem rather violent and physical, of course.
"A kid? Hmm, can you relay the details of the incident to me and any information you might know about him? I'd like to ask him a few questions too." Julian takes out a notepad just so he doesn't forget anything. Suspicious smoke store with suspicious owner (who he doesn't doubt commits crimes but he can't do much about it now). A kid who kicked and bit the guy. The store owner thinks it's because he wouldn't let him inside.
But Julian can't help but think that if a kid was close enough to bite and kick him, something must be wrong. He says nothing, he'd get the story out of the kid later, if he could track him down.

Does this joker think he's actually going to give him the truth? Ha, that's a laugh. He'll have the cop running around in circles before Eztli's through with him.
"Well, he seemed rather tall. Black hair--or perhaps brown?" He nods. "Definitely dark hair. Green eyes for sure."
Eztli bends down to lift the pants leg, showing off the bruises to his shin. "See? Look how awful he was to me. Can you believe someone would do this to someone else? And all because I said no." He tuts his tongue as he puts the fabric down again.

It seems really excessive to Julian. Very much so. So a kid comes up to a smoke shop that he isn't even supposed to be in, and then beats the shit out of the guy because of it.
Why is he even in so much doubt, anyways? Kids sure did some weird things these days. Quite rowdy, though he wasn't sure he was ever like this back in the day. "Around when was this, again? Today? Yesterday?"
He doesn't like the guy, sure, and he's sure that the kid will probably be untrackable at this rate. Dark hair, tall, and green eyes. Not exactly the best thing he could go off. "Are you sure there aren't more defining features? Maybe a tattoo, a scar, I don't know. That's a pretty generic description."

"Oh, it's been a few days, though no longer than a week," he replies with confidence, crossing his arms as he looks the man over.
Was there more defining features to this Mystery Fiend? He smiles.
"I'm sorry, officer, but... I'm afraid that's all I have to give you. Once he kicked me, he did run. Very fast, mind you! Perhaps that will help you?" He asks, tilting his head to the side ever so slightly.

Julian looked up, and he just sighed. Let out a deep sigh. "I'm sorry but, if it's been a few days and that's the only description I've got, I don't think I could find or even identify them. There'll a lot of kids that fit that description."
This was a wild goose chase. In fact, Julian's more than mad. This was a god damn waste of time.
"No, I don't think 'running very fast' is gonna help me with anything." He really ought to be more polite to the suspicious looking guy, because technically he hadn't done anything wrong yet, but the frustration was getting to him. So excuse him if he didn't sound very professional, bordering on exasperation.
eztli okay so who's punching and/or who's walking into a glass door |

Such a shame, really. Well, no matter. Eztli shrugs.
"Do what you have to. I don't really care. I'm not the one who called you here in the first place. I dunno who did, but as you can see, there's nothing awry here. Now, if you'll excuse me. I have business to attend to and your presence is scaring away potential customers."
He motions towards the door, holding his hand out as guidance. "There's the door. You can see your way out."

This guy was.. infuriating.
Julian really wanted to punch him. It wasn't like the idea wasn't there the moment he walked in, suspicious guy got on his nerves. But he wasn't supposed to punch a guy, especially as a detective. But he really wanted to. He really, really wanted to.
Especially with the way he was acting. The way he was talking. It was disrespectful. Julian could hardly believe it, after he was trying to be civil about the whole inquiry.
Before he knew it his fist was making contact with the guy's nose and a satisfying crunch made him feel a lot better.
"Sorry. I guess I'll be on my way then." And then he stormed out. Into the door. And then his nose started bleeding. Well, it wasn't like he didn't see that karma coming.
