Sorry it's taken so many years to get the next chapter but I've been busy
with school as I'm taking my French GCSE a year early. Also I had a mental
block – not shocking but there you go.
KERRY WEAVER
"Excuse me, Doctor Weaver?"
Kerry looked up. "Yes?"
"I'm Detective Di Marco. Could you spare me a few minutes of your time?"
"You're working on Luka and Abby's case aren't you?"
"Yes."
The red headed doctor nodded. "Okay."
Matthew sat down in a chair opposite Kerry at the table and flipped to an empty page in his notebook. "What was your relationship with Doctor Kovac and Miss Lockhart?"
"I worked with them both for about four years."
"And how did they come across to you?"
"How do you mean?" "Their personalities?"
"They were both general nice people and tried to get along with everyone. Abby could be a bit grumpy sometimes but so are all women."
"And Luka?"
"He could have a bit of a temper on him sometimes."
"Explain 'a bit of a temper' please, Doctor Weaver."
"If someone upset him enough he could lash out. Say stuff. Sometimes hit people."
"Did you ever know him to hit Miss Lockhart?"
"No. Luka would never hit Abby."
"How can you be so sure?"
"Because Luka is...was a gentleman and would never, ever, hit a woman."
"Okay. How was he the last time you saw him?"
"Not that good considering..."
"Considering what, Doctor Weaver?"
"Everything I say to you is confidential, right?"
"Of course."
"About a week and a half before it happened, I, um..."
"Doctor Weaver," pushed Matthew.
"I had to fire Luka."
"Why?"
"He was drinking."
"He turned up to work drunk?"
"No, I'd only suspend him for that, as long as he hadn't hurt a patient. I mean I found him drinking at work. He denied it but his work had been getting sloppy and he was endangering patients."
"No one else had mentioned this."
"I certainly didn't tell any one else. I don't know if Luka did."
"Did he tell Miss Lockhart?"
"I don't know. I suppose he must have."
"Anything else?"
"No."
"Thank you Doctor Weaver."
