What is the Truth?
John Amsterdam walked into the bank. He saw the scene and began looking around. The bank was empty except for a few other officers and an EMT attending to a young woman. The EMT got up and noticed him.
" Is she the only went left in here?" John asked.
The EMT nodded his head.
" She appears to be in a state of shock," the EMT said," I only got a name out of her. It's Lexi. Lexi Morgan."
" Thanks," John said," Does she need to be taken to a hospital?"
" I suggested it," the EMT answered," She doesn't want to talk."
John then went up to her.
" Lexi," John said," Mine name is Detective Amsterdam. Did you see what happened here?"
Lexi looked at him. John noticed the sad look in her green eyes.
" I know you may not want to talk, but I need your help. Anything you can tell me?"
Lexi had tears in her eyes.
" It all happened so fast," Lexi said," Two armed and masked people came through the door and ran a shot into the ceiling, telling us all to get down. We all did, but then they allowed everyone to leave. They didn't know I was there. I was hiding, too scared to move."
John wrote down what she said.
" Then what?" John asked.
" I saw them with the manager. His name was Mr. Watson. I know because I've been coming her for the last few years. It appears they got what they wanted, but then they shot him. I was so horrified. Then..."
Lexi started crying again and covered her face.
" It's okay," John told her," I think I can talk to some others outside. Do you need a lift anywhere?"
" I just want to go home," Lexi said," I've never seen anything like this."
Lexi then got up slowly and then went back to the ground. The EMT was notified to come back in and took Lexi outside. Lexi was put into the ambulence and John watched it drive off. John did some other investigating around the bank before going back to the station.
" Heard you had some excitement," he heard.
John looked to see his partner Eva.
" Homicide at a bank, witnessed by this frightened young girl. Right now, she's at the hospital. I'm going by there to talk to her again. You want to come along?"
" Do you need to ask?" Eva asked him.
John and Eva left the station and went to the hospital. On the way over, John couldn't help but think that he saw Lexi somewhere before. He also couldn't help but think that Lexi knew more then she was saying.
