Chapter 294
Balfour gave a polite nod and said, “I’ll have to bother you guys then. Please take me to chat face to face with the suspect, Elinor” The cops huddled for a bit, then took this new witness. Dalfour, into Elinor’s hospital room
Theo kept his cool, tagging along
However, the cop on guard duty at the door stopped Theo, saying
“Mr. Blanchet, sorry we’re in the middle of an investigation, and since you’re not involved in the case, could you please wait outside?”
Theo coolly asked. ‘Then why does he get to go in?”
The cop understood that the ‘he Mr Blanchet was referring to was Balfour, who’d just gone in, so he explained.
“Because Mr Howard is involved in the case, he’s going in as a witness to talk to the suspect”
Theo asked, “Who says I’m not involved in this case?”
The cop looked surprised “Mr. Blanchet, then you and this case are…
“I’m the one who reported this case, I have the right to know the progress. Now, I want to go in to see their conversation”
Theo’s tone was calm, but it carried a certain pressure
He was the one who reported the case.
It was Theo who had Collin call the cops, and of course, Collin would report it under Theo’s name.
The cop had no rebuttal, hesitated for a moment, lowered his arm, and let Theo in.
When Patricia saw Theo going in, she wanted to follow.
The cop stopped her and said, “Ms. Howard, you can’t go in right now!
Patricia said, “Officer, I’m the victim in this case, I have the right to know what’s going on, and I want to find my brother I’ll be scared without him around”
Patricia was good–looking her head was wrapped in bandages, her face anxious; it made one’s heart ache.
The cop softened, hesitated a bit, sighed, lowered his hand, and let Patricia in.
Seeing everyone else going in, Haillie and Bryan also wanted to enter.
The cop’s tone grew stern. “You two, don’t follow in!”
Bryan frowned unhappily “My brother and sister have gone in, why can’t I?”
The cop hadn’t met Bryan before, couldn’t verify his identity, even though he might be there to stir things up. “And who are you? Who are your brother and sister?”
Haillie acted on the fly and held Bryan back, not letting him speak.
Then she stepped forward, smiling, saying. “Officer, the kid’s got a temper; don’t mind him
We’re relatives of Patricia, the victim of a car accident who’s now hospitalized. She went through some stuff yesterday that took a huge toll on her physically and mentally: her condition’s pretty unstable now It’s her medication time, but she went in without taking her meds. We have to go in to give her the medicine, or she might not be able to hold on due to her poor health. So, please understand and let us in to give her the medicine. Once we’ve done that, we’ll leave immediately
The cop frowned, recalling the Ms. Howard he’d just seen, she did seem in bad shape.
