Part (10/10)
"This is Brian, Abby's former neighbour. The one who assaulted her and killed his wife!"
"That is Brian? I didn't know him." he said shocked.
"Yes, that's him. Sorry, I have to talk to the police now."
"Wait, please let me do that."
"Okay, here's the chart." Luka handed it to him and he left the room.
10 p.m., Abby's and John's apartment
When he entered the apartment, he could hear Abby in the bathroom. She was having a shower. So he went straight to the window and stared out of it into the darkness. He was asking himself how he could tell Abby the news.
He didn't even notice that she had already come out of the bathroom. She was standing behind him now. She knew something was wrong.
"John, what's wrong, what happened?" she said and put a her hand on his shoulder.
He turned around to face Abby. "There won't be a trial for Brian."
"What?" Abby was shocked. "Why?"
He really didn't know what to say to make it any better.
"Because he hung himself in his prison cell a few hours ago. He was brought to the ER but it was too late, his brain was already dead when he arrived. I'm sorry."
Abby didn't know what to say. She just stood there, staring at Carter.
He didn't know what to say either. Instinctively he wrapped his arms around her and hugged her. Suddenly she began to sob silently, then she started to cry. He tightened his embrace and rocked her forth and back slightly, kissing her forehead.
She didn't know why she was crying. All her emotions just overwhelmed her, all the pain and fear, the stress and tension during the last weeks. It was all over now.
