Scotland Yard:
The detectives waited in the living room for Dr. Kirkland to compose himself. While they waited, Detective Laurinaitis took a moment to look over the medicine bottles on the kitchen counter. The medication turned out to be antidepressants; that didn't surprise him at all.
Hearing the bedroom door open, he hurried back to stand by Detective Zwingli.
When Dr. Kirkland returned he was stone-faced but composed; the only hint that he had been crying just a few minutes ago was his red eyes. He addressed the detectives, "Please forgive me gentlemen for leaving you like that. Now where were we," he said.
Detective Laurinaitis gave him a tight smile, "We were at the part where you found your wife. What did you do after you found her," he asked.
Dr. Kirkland sighed, "I ran to the neighbors and called for help everything after that is a blur," he said.
The detectives nodded. In the original report by Scotland Yard, it had stated that by the time the cops arrived the doctor had been in shock. The lead detective at the time couldn't interview him for a couple of days.
The set back had hurt the original investigation, and Detective Héderváry believed the doctor had murdered his wife. At least she did until the next attack happened.
Detective Zwingli decided it was time to end the interview, "I think we got everything we need from you, Dr. Kirkland. My Partner and I thank you for your time," he said.
Dr. Kirkland nodded, "Please find my son detectives, he's all I've got left," he said.
The detectives glanced at each other before Basch answered him, "We'll do our best, but Dr. Kirkland I'm going, to be honest with you. Babies that are taken to sell on the Black Market are rarely found and if they are it's usually years later," he said.
The doctor gave him a dead stare, "Not if you do your jobs right," he said.
Detective Zwingli sighed, "I think we're done here," he said.
Dr. Kirkland glanced at the door, "Yes, I think we are," he said.
The detectives left the apartment both thinking the same thing. They needed to talk with Scotland Yard.
The detectives went straight from Dr. Kirkland's apartment to the police station and could meet with Detective Héderváry right away.
Detective Héderváry was beautiful with silky brown hair and fair skin, but her most stunning feature was her green eyes; she had been a police officer for seven years before being promoted to detective last May.
The Kirkland murder had been her first major case, it did not take her long to realize that she was in over her head.
Detective Hedervary smiled pleasantly at the detectives," Afternoon detectives, what can I do for you today," she said.
Basch gave her a curt nod, "Same to you detective, my partner and I are working the Kirkland murder along with several cases that are similar," he said.
Héderváry's smile vanished, "I see," she said.
Toly's sensing the detective's discomfort intervened, "Please don't take offense to us being here detective, we wish to solve this case as much as I assume you do," he said.
Hedervary glanced at him, "I'm not upset at you detective, I just wish there was more I could have done," she said.
Basch smiled, "I'm sure you did your best so please don't be too hard on yourself, but please we could really use your help," he said.
Detective Hedervary looked confused, "I'm sorry detective but I'm not sure how I can be of help," she said.
Toly's interjected, "You can help us by giving us insight into the crime scene," he said.
Hedervary nodded, "I can do that. So what do you want to know," she asked.
Basch took out his notebook, "Can you walk us through the scene," he said.
Hedervary looked at him, "It was clean, very clean," she said.
Toly's wrinkled his eyebrows, "Clean?" he said.
Hedervary nodded, "Yes, besides the Master Bed and Bathroom, the place was spotless," she said.
Basch looked confused, "That's unusual for a crime scene," he said.
Hedervary glanced at him, "I agree, it was unusual. Our perp was careful," she said.
Toly's wasn't surprised, baby snatchers usually were, "Can you tell us what you learned about the victim," he said.
Hedervary closed her eyes, "Amelia Kirkland a twenty-three-year-old implant from the states, Dr. Kirkland and her met in High School and fell in love. When he moved back to England for college, she followed him. She later became a Kindergarten Teacher," she said.
Basch raised a brow, "Amelia was American," he said.
Hedervary smiled, "Oh, didn't Dr. Kirkland tell you? Mrs. Kirkland was from Kentucky," she said.
The snub towards Dr. Kirkland did not go unnoticed by the detectives. Toly's called her out, "Detective, I read in your report that you believed Dr. Kirkland was involved somehow, can you explain why," he asked.
Hedervary raised an eyebrow, "You don't," she said.
Basch shrugged, "That wasn't the question," he said.
Hedervary sighed, "I guess it's because of how calm he was," she said.
Toly's raised a brow, "He was calm," he said.
Hedervary shrugged, "Well not completely, there were times when he would just randomly burst into tears," she said.
Basch shot back, "Did it occur to you the man could just be in shock," he said.
Hedervary shrugged again, "I suppose, it just seemed strange to me," she said.
Basch looked at her, "Detective that's hardly any reason to suspect a man of murder," he said.
Hedervary was unmoved, "I'm just calling it as I see it," she said, coldly.
Toly's decided to change the subject, "Detective before we let you go was there anything else unusual about the scene," he said.
Hedervary looked at him surprised, "Well as a matter of fact there was one thing," she said.
Basch responded, "What was it," he said.
Hedervary swallowed hard, "A syringe," she said.
The eyebrows on both detectives shot up; that hadn't been mentioned in any of their reports! It looked like they needed to pay a visit to the medical examiner why they here.
Toly's responded, "I'm sorry, but did you say a syringe," he said.
Hedervary nodded, "Yes, Dr. Kirkland denied that it was his and we couldn't find any hospital that carried that type of syringe," she said.
Basch looked perplexed, "Why wasn't this in the report I was given," he said.
Hedervary looked surprised, "It wasn't in there," she said.
Basch shook his head.
Hedervary looked disturbed, "That should have been in the report detective," she said.
Toly's responded, "I'm sure it must have been an honest mistake," he said.
No one said anything else.
