SPOILER!!: Elinor

"Alright, now what is it, really?" She asked, gesturing to the paper as she turned for a drawer behind her. "Can I assume that we know something that's not in the paper?" Elinor pulled out a few thin sheets of what looked like clear tape, as well as some white tiles. She set them aside.

"Except for the fact that your basic freezing spell doesn't steal time... And, yes, it seems to be the case. Everyone who came in contact with it... So... Does that then mean that since this Time Bandit is without this orb and this locket... Can we assume that she is aging again?"

Elinor looked past Esme to the new-comer. She looked her up and down once before pulling out another pair of gloves from the drawer and handing them over. "Certainly. Can you add your name to the log?", she asked, pointing to the side table before turning again to the evidence.

"I think we can agree that searching the orb for fingerprints is pointless. We don't even know how many people handled it. That locket, however..."

She waited for Aron to finish with the camera before starting to examine it.

"I'm certain someone is doing the research now. But, if not, we'll need to find someone to do that straightaway," she answered in response to his question about the date.

She watched and nodded as he talked about the orb. He was asking precisely the right questions... But, of course, Elinor wasn't going to say that. "But, then again, Time Turners don't steal time. They just reverse it's direction for a moment, like rewinding a record. But hold that thought," she nodded. For now, the locket.

She leaned in, turning the metal over carefully with a pair of tweezers. "This rust makes fingerprints impossible to take... but," she said with a sly smile as she popped it open again. "Whomever placed... the picture inside..." she said as she carefully removed it. She held the photograph paper sideways, up to the light.

The woman smiled widely. "Left two wonderful pairs of fingerprints on either side." She lowered the picture onto one of the squares of transparent plastic, placing another one on top of it. Instead of contaminating the evidence with powder, she would have to use her wand. So, drawing it from her pocket, she ran the tip up and down the plastic until a black fingerprint was evident.

Stripping the plastic from the picture, she sealed it to one of the white squares, so it was very easy to see. Then she flipped the picture and did the same thing to the back. Two fingerprints ought to be one more than they needed. "Looks like a thumbprint and an index finger... But it's been a while," she said, sliding the tiles away for her colleagues to examine for themselves.

"If those are Talone's, our luck is excellent. If not... Well, it's something," she said optimistically, turning her attention back to the necklace.

Melissa quickly took the pair of gloves that the Lab Tech had handed over to her. She was glad that she allowed to assist them. Quickly fitting her fingers into the gloves, she pushed her hands in to the gloves and once they were on, she walked over to the log and wrote her name down in it before the others who were examining the evidence. It was really stunning that someone had actually stolen time for the students in school. Thank goodness it hadn't been permanent.

Melissa listened intently allowing the others to discuss their findings. Things were getting really bizarre. But then the Lab Tech, Elinor, yes that was her name, said something that really surprized Melissa. The locket had been charmed to steal time. She couldn't help but frown. Something that could steal time was dangerous. Something that could steal time. Why did it seem familiar to her?
