The apprentice watching from the doorway is technically an unprocessed witness. Oh, this is wonderful. Once assigned a case number, that doorway becomes an intake portal. I do hope nobody lets him leave as merely a person.

Ninety-one witnesses, four days, and a successful transfer from "photos pending" to Chipping Sparrow. Oh, exquisite. I do wish we had the case number. My husband says we were merely standing in a gravel lot, but a numbered gravel lot is an entirely different afternoon.
