JOHN CARTER
"Dr Carter, I understand that this has all been very upsetting for you," Grace gently probed, "But it is necessary for me to ask you some questions."
The young doctor nodded mutely. He looked as if he hadn't slept in days, which, considering the circumstances, was a possibility.
"What were your relationships with the deceased?"
"Um, we worked together. Luka, Dr Kovac, was an attending and Abby was a nurse. Luka and I weren't that close, we were associates at best. I was good friends with Abby though. She is...was...a recovering alcoholic, and I am a recovering drug addict. We went to AA meetings together, she was my sponser and I was hers."
"Was there anything different with either of them on that day?"
Carter thought back. "No. They both seemed fine, normal, very happy. They were engaged. Luka had proposed on Valentine's day and Abby had said yes.They were very happy together, very in love. They were going to get married in August. The day they...died...was Luka's birthday. He turned thirty eight. Abby was thirty two."
"Were they having any problems in their relationship, or otherwise?"
Carter shook his head. "I don't think so. It all seemed great. I don't know about Luka, but Abby would've told me if anything was wrong."
"And both of them seemed happy?"
"Yea."
"Thank you Dr Carter. If you think of anything that might be able to aid us in our investigation be sure to tell us."
He stood up and shook the female police officers hand. "I will. Thank you."
