Collateral: Reload
Vincent opened his eyes.
The doctor's "office" was a dark, grimy and sullen looking place. As his eyes adjusted to the gloom Vincent made out the shadowy form of Dr. Ericsson slouched on a chair in the corner. Looking around he saw dusty bookshelves laden down with mouldy books, an overflowing sink stacked high with dirty dishes and rusty tools, and an old tile floor scuffed and marked with blood, shit and God knows what else. Suffice to say, the smell was astounding, the air conditioner must be out, he thought to himself. Reaching down to his ribs he felt around the bullet hole tenderly, jerking his hands back instinctively when he inadvertently pressed a little too hard. Eyes watering, Vincent took a closer look, groaning as he tried to sit up. It was a good hit, fortunately Max had no idea what a fatal wound looked like, and if he had Vincent would be in a holding cell or worse right now.
Leaning back onto his pillow, Vincent went over the previous night's events in his head for what had seemed the fiftieth time. How he had underestimated the cab driver he would never know, but that would never happen again. Closing his eyes and letting sleep take him, Vincent idly wondered what had happened to Anne Farrell, and Max Du Roche.
"He's a fucking killer! He killed 12 people in ONE night, including one of your own!" Agent Pedrosa roared. His rage so great, he nearly toppled over in his wheelchair.
"Yeah, I know" said Detective Weidner softly, "I saw Fanning's body, I saw what he did to him…"
"Look I didn't kill anyone I was trying to stop him, he-he-he…" stammered Max, handcuffed to the steel railing in the interrogation room.
"Oh spare me! I saw you at Club Fever, my team saw you at Club Fever; you were made by a dozen Federal Agents Vincent! Pedrosa was a on a roll now, We have a subway car full of people who saw you run on board an MTA train waving a gun, we have the gun with your prints, a gun which matches the slugs we pulled out of our federal witness, we can place you at every single scene. There is no evidence of this phantom killer... just you!"
