Why is Marissa with him in the hospital?

She must have found out about him having lung cancer,

Geez!

"What happened?" He mouthed after Marissa disengaged the hug

"You suddenly collapsed and you were brought to the hospital" She replied while taking out fruits from the bag she brought it in with her

Shawn blinked in surprise "does he really work for them?""Yeah. You remember the doctor who died in our cell, right?""Yeah" Shawn nodded "Turns out he was actually the one who came in and strangled her""Ugh? How is that possible, what in the world were your boys doing?" Eric scoffed in disbelief"He paid the lieutenant in charge a handsome amount and also paid the security in charge of the CCTV so the footage was deleted" the detective explained, looking kind of disappointed that his fellow officers joined hands with a criminal to kill a human who they should protecting"That's just so bad

Shawn asked as he was not aware of where Eric has been driving him to for the past 30 minutes."Somewhere important" Eric replied, paying good attention to all the houses around"Can you at least tell me the important place? I don't think it's okay for me to just appear somewhere without being prepared" Shawn got even more curious "Don't tell me you are taking me to Axel, are you working for him too?" He gasped"That's offensive" Eric clicked his tongue "Fine. I am trying to look for someone who knows Axel well""Someone who knows Axel?
