A Moment in Destiny

"Yes!" Kieran didn't think Rae Baxter would be injured, and he was blaming himself for a while, if he knew that Rae was injured, he would not have called her! He tried to borrow a wheelchair for Rae, leaving Marcel Hopkins and Rae to wait for him. Marcel held her feet and said strictly, "Rae, you took actions without permission!"

"I was in a rush so I had no time to apply for permission!" Rae said.

"Who do you think you are?" Marcel's tone was very impatient, "You are just a normal policeman, not a leader. You have no obligation to take charge of the overall situation. You have to know your identity and don't overtake something beyond your range!"

Rae blushed, knowing Marcel was taking care of her, even though he said it strictly, she still knew that he was worried about her foot injury. She felt shy and awkward at the same time, so she whispered, "I just want to solve the case quickly. Don’t we only have three days to solve the case? There is still a day and a half, we are short of time!"

"We?" Marcel raised his eyebrows, tried hard to figure out why she said that.

"Means all of us!" Rae shouted with blushing cheek.

Marcel's lips curled up and stopped talking.

Kieran came up and pushed in the wheelchair, Marcel helped Rae sit on it, and then he pushed it himself, and went to the door of the operating room to see how Piper Salinas's situation.

It took about forty minutes. The doctor came out and Marcel showed out his ID. The doctor said to him, "Third degree torn, we couldn’t save the baby, and her cervix is

suspected of being stabbed by an object. Those are all her body situation for now, she needs to rest in bed!"

Rae was completely shocked, was she pregnant? Or she was being sexual abuse all the time?!

She and Marcel looked at each other. When they were exchanged eye sights with each other, Rae eyes were full of doubts. But from Marcel's eyes, he seemed already knew everything. Rae didn't know what he had investigated. As he was the captain, he must have his own arrangements, so he would be confident that everything was in control.

After the doctor left, Rae quickly asked Marcel, "Captain Hopkins, what is going on?"

Marcel took a glance at Kieran, and Kieran said, "I have been following Piper to here. She came back with Kaden Duran, so I kept monitoring her whereabouts. She didn't stay here at the night, and Kaden went out in the morning. He sent someone to follow him, and it seemed that there was nothing suspicious. But today a pot of flowers fell from building at noon and caught our attention. Later, a phone was thrown out with a bloody note said help me on it! So we went up and notified Captain Hopkins..."

That was to say, Kieran and Arlo immediately notified Marcel at the first time, which was totally understandable. After all, Marcel was the captain, so they directly reported to the leader. Although there was a suspicion of leapfrogging the report, Rae had no official position yet. The so-called captain’s secretary was a title without any special rights. She just felt a bit lost. But she knew it was not the good time to feel lost.

They notified Captain Hopkins, and then told her, which was a good call for everyone. First of all, they fawned on Captain Hopkins, and then herself. The wishful thinking was played well, but they were not loyal enough for her.

"We went up together after Captain Hopkins arrived there, and we saw Piper lying on the balcony. There was a rope for binding on the bed. Also, there were a lot of adult utensils spreading on the ground. There were blood stains everywhere from the bed to the balcony...We were totally astonished after seeing the scene."

Rae was also surprised.
