Heather. Dr. Ross should be back soon right?”
“Yes, he will be back tomorrow.”
“Okay great. Let him know that we will be taking over this case and that he should only speak directly to me or Detective Farmouth. If anyone else comes in about this victim make sure you call me at this number with their names.” He handed her his card and she took it without hesitation and while nodding in understanding.
Luke and Blake walked out of the morgue and headed directly to Bill, the Head of Security’s office.
When they walked into Bill’s office he could tell immediately that something was wrong. He knew and worked with them often and they very rarely showed emotion, yet here they both were walking into his office both wearing an expression that meant business.
“Hello Detectives. How can I help you today?”
“Hey Bill. We are working on a case and we need to see the surveillance video from late last night if that’s okay with you,” Blake said without hesitation.
Frowning slightly Bill responded, “Okay… sure, that won’t be a problem. Are you looking for a certain camera in particular?”
“Yeah, I need the video from the camera by the morgue starting around twelve last night.”
Detective Farmouth stood staring closely at the screen. Rage began to build in his chest when the video was blown up into full view on Bill’s computer screen. Though he couldn’t see their faces, he could easily recognize the officers from the station. They were the same ones that were standing by his office when he left with Lelone. He didn’t know much about them right now, but he was damn sure going to find out.
Chapter 7
Demons Identified
Luke tore out of the security office and headed straight for ICU. He had to let his wife know that he was leaving before he got to work on finding out more about the officers that brought his dead son to the morgue and tried to keep him ever being there a secret.
He skipped the elevator and instead took the stairs. When Lelone saw his face she knew that he had found out more about the cops that brought LJ to the hospital. He walked into the room where Lela and Tami were still sitting how he left them, neither seemed to have moved an inch since.
When they entered the nurse came to check Lucian’s vitals noticing nothing had changed with his condition. Once she left the women broke into tears. They released all the tears that they had been holding in and in that moment the words came just as freely.
“My boy is gone. I’m sitting in this hospital with my godson who’s fighting for his life and where my only son is laying in a morgue because someone thought so little of his life that they decided to take him from me, to take him from his family. His daughters will never get to truly know the father they had because someone took him from us.”
Detective Farmouth said nothing. He knew that his wife didn’t need him to say anything. That she was trying to find a way to make sense of all that was going on at that very moment. He couldn’t say anything to help her through that process not at this
moment, simply because he couldn’t understand it any more than she could. Lucas had never been the type of boy that was in any trouble or one to have many enemies. In fact everyone who knew him loved and respected him for the man that he was. They couldn’t have had a better son. It was then, while watching these women break into tears from the pain they could no longer hold inside, did his rage begin to show.
“Honey, I’m going back to the office for a few. I’ll be back afterward okay. Tami keep me posted if anything changes with his condition.”
Both women nodded. As Luke walked out Lelone grabbed his arm and said, “I know what you found out. Let me help you.”
He said nothing but nodded in agreement. He would need
