Merlin...and what were security people doing again?
Josh took his dark brown eyes from the mess in the room and looked back at the woman when she asked how she could help. "We have this evidence. A receipt and we need it analysed for...the fingerprints on it. Stonewall...'' he indicated at one of the YATIs with his head. "...has the receipt and only he touched it so far. So you need to eliminate his finger prints...please."
The YATIL turned to the young man then. "Stonewall, the receipt." Give it to the laboratory lady. He was about to comment more on the receipt just when Aspen Odessa spoke. Josh turned and looked at her. Well...what she was holding in her hands looked very familiar to him. But they had things to do now, he would talk to her about it later. He stared at her for a bit then let out a snort as well. "Well...i seriously started to wonder what the ministry pays to the security people for." Oh. Fingerprint work. Elinor set down the glasses and stepped over to them, reaching for the receipt with one hand. "Shouldn't take more than a few minutes." With the hope that other fingerprints hadn't contaminated it too much, and there were no smudges. "Mr. Stonewall?" Assuming that was his last name and not an unusual first name-- "Would you mind pressing your fingertip to the inside of this?" She handed him one of the fingerprint strips she had picked up, briefly touching the two strips that were meant to be pulled apart to reveal the sticky tape underneath.
She turned on one of her bright work lights and held the receipt under the magnifying glass with her gloved hands. "How old is this?" she asked, before thinking to actually look at the date printed on the paper. "I only ask because the chemicals in the ink and paper can interfere with the oils on the skin."
Oh, goody. A chance for Elinor to show her smarts to new acquaintances. That did lighten her mood a bit.
