Chapter 36
.
Gary did feel better after he fiished his "nap." But when he looked out the window it seemed to be earlier than when he started. Was it possible that he'd slept for nearly an entire day. This whole case had been exhausting, and then protecting the hospital like this, maybe he had been asleep for an entire day. When he woke up Gary called sheriff Duncan.
.
Duncan: Feeling better?
Gary: Yes. Did you check the hospital security cameras?
Duncan: Bad news on that front. When the power went out they used the emergency generator for the neccissities, surgery lights, keeping blood cold, the cameras for the incinerator weren't a priority. So I'm sorry to say we can't identify whoever was allegedly destroying evidence.
Gary: Pity. What about Samantha Larabee, any idea how she managed to get a gun to commit suicide?
Duncan: I questioned my deputies, Hanson confessd. Samantha seduced him, and bribed him, into letting her keep one gun as a souveneir.
Gary: He believed her?
Duncan: Hanson is young and not very bright. He threw away his whole career, his pension, he'll probably go to prison for this. Maybe he's still young enough to learn a new trade in prison.

Once again, agent Fredo wasn't sure if he believed sheriff Duncan, or if this was a clever cover-up. If he was to solve this case he would need tunnel-vision, just had to focus on who murdered Angel Flint. The official story seemed to be that Angel committed suicide, and all Gary had to disprove that was the pentagram, someone carved that into her chest after she was dead. Gary wondered, why? The killer could have gotten away with the murder, at the very least their lawyer could have given the jury reasonable doubt that a murder even took place. So why endanger that to desecrate her body? Gary knew there was something about this that he was missing. He would figure it out, and bring this murderer to justice.
