Alarick brought out a recorder from a drawer that he had told one of the guards to stash earlier. He turned it on and held onto it."For the record, Charlotte Winslow is the culprit here and I will be asking some questions relating to the death of her father, Jonathan Winslow and the attack on Cillian King and his company.” He first spoke into the recorder since he planned to use it as evidence later then he spoke to Charlotte. “I'm going to start with an easy one. How do you know Dylan McCaffrey and the rest of his accomplices?"Charlotte folded her arms and gave Alarick a menacing look."I don't know them.""Stringer is in custody now. Do you know what that would do for you? Lies won’t help you at this point.""I don't know who this stringer is and frankly I don't care."Alarick watched her closely for any tell tale sign. Charlotte didn't give any."How did you get in touch with them?""I didn't.""When did you start planning this? Was it before or after you got in touch with your
"How are we going to catch the murderer here?" Maurice said.Alarick frowned but had resolved his mind. Even though this was a police station, a criminal, a murderer even was hiding among them. They had to put the station on lockdown. "We have to lock down the whole building. No one goes in or out.""You want to trap all of us here with the person that just murdered Avon. What if they lask out again? Do you even think the officers would allow this?"Alarick tried to reason with Maurice."I can't do anything but you work here Maurice. We outnumber the murderer about 20 to 1. Even if they wanted to do anything they wouldn't be able to. This could be our only chance to catch the person helping Dylan, especially when he just had one of his men killed for being caught. The officers will listen to you so, convince them."Maurice conceded to Alarick and addressed the slightly panicked and discombobulated officers that filled the room."Can I have everyone's attention please."The officers i
"Hey! Let go of me!"The shouting voice filled the hallway as Alarick and Maurice went back to the main room where all the officers were waiting.Alarick's eyes landed on the same man from the video, Matt being dragged towards the center of the room by Craig and Allison. Finally, It was time to get some answers.Everyone in the room watched on as Matt kept on shouting. Alarick and Maurice walked over to Craig and Allison. Matt looked at Maurice with shock written all over his face."Maurice, what's going on? Tell them to release me."Maurice shook his head."I can't do that. You know what you did and you need to face the consequences."Maurice turned to everyone else in the room. "I know it may be hard for some of you to hear this but we found the murderer. It's Matt. He poisoned the water he gave to the prisoner to get rid of him."Collective gasps peppered the room. Officer Winowa Presley spoke up. She spoke up because she believed that Matt was innocent but mostly because they wer
Alarick and Maurice went to the main room where the group of morose looking officers sat. They all had a look of betrayal written on their face. As Alarick passed some of them he could hear their whispered conversations."Did he really do it though?""You saw the tape. It had to be him.""But we know Matt, this just doesn't seem plausible.""I guess we didn't know him at all. I just pity Winowa. She was really in love with him. I…"Alarick walked out of earshot but could still hear the sound of murmuring when Allison walked up to him and Maurice. Allison spoke to Maurice."You called me sir."Maurice handed Allison the keys he had gotten from Wales earlier."Yes. Please remove all the locks around the station."Allison took the keys and left. Maurice addressed the officers in the room. The officers noticed him and gave him all their attention."Everyone, what we've gone through today is hard, for some more than others. Let this be a lesson to everyone to abide by the law. There isn't
Alarick barged into the guest room where Charlotte was being held. He held a VCR in his hands and dropped it on the side table. Charlotte stood in shock at his abrupt entry. He walked closer to her causing her to scuffle backwards."What are you doing?""Are you ready to talk?" Alarick asked.Charlotte folded her arms and sat down on the bed."I have nothing to say to you.""Maybe you will when you see what I have."Alarick turned on the television and plopped in the tape. The screen turned on and Charlotte's face popped up. The video showed when Dylan walked over to her table and joined her. Alarick watched Charlotte as she looked dumbfounded. She started to wave her hands."No. Alarick, this isn't what it looks like."Alarick pointed at her accusingly. "I knew you were full of shit. You were seeing Dylan, at the Cafe near your firm. There is literally evidence to prove it." "I swear, that isn't what happened. I did see him, yes but I didn't contact him to come."Alarick scoffed.
Alarick pulled up to Scarlett's mansion in a black Jaeger tuxedo without the tie and matched it with a complementary Jaeger-LeCoultre wrist watch. He wondered if what he was doing was right. Yes, Scarlett helped him out and this was meant to be his payment but taking another man's wife to dinner just seemed wrong. Should he go back before she even noticed he had arrived? That wouldn't be right either. Alarick decided to just take her out. After all it was just dinner. Plus he had already booked a reservation at the restaurant and opted for the VIP treatment.He pressed the doorbell and the house rings with the tune. A minute later one of Scarlett's staff opened the door and allowed Alarick to enter inside the house."Welcome sir. You can wait here for Mrs Scarlett. She will be down in a second. Do you want any refreshments sir? A glass of Pinot noir perhaps?" Alarick shook his head."No, thank you."The staff showed him to a waiting room and left shortly after. Alarick took a seat a
Alarick pulled up to his mansion and drove his car into the garage. He entered his home and went straight to his room. He passed the guest room where Charlotte was being held making a mental check to go back the next morning and speak to her again to try and get her to confess. Once Alarick got into his room, he plopped down onto his bed and sighed. He had expected Scarlet to come onto him but he didn't expect her to kiss him like that and he also didn't expect to like it. It's not like he wanted to have an affair with her but when you haven't been intimate in a long time, it takes a toll on you sometimes .Alarick sat up and removed his jacket and shoes. Apart from Scarlet kissing him, he had a good time especially with the food. He stood up and took off his clothes until he was in only his briefs. Alarick's eyes landed on his laptop across the room. He hadn't spoken to his father in some time. He would have to call first thing tomorrow but right now he had to rest. He took a show
Alarick went to the room where Charlotte was being held. He opened the door and stepped into the room. Two guards stood at opposite sides of the room. They noticed Alarick and acknowledged him by giving him a status report."Good day sir. She tried to escape through the bathroom window earlier but after we caught her she's been a bit more cooperative. We suspect that she might still try something though that’s why we’re inside here and not outside the room."Alarick looked at a pouting Charlotte who folded her arms and sat cross legged on the bed. She looked at Alarick and rolled her eyes as she turned away."All right. I'll keep that in mind. Excuse us for now,, she won’t try anything while I’m here.."Alarick dismissed the guards inside the room. The men wasted no time in obeying Alarick's command and soon only Alarick and Charlotte remained in the room. Alarick sat on a free chair in the room and stared at Charlotte. Charlotte felt his gaze and shrinked into herself. Alarick said
