Okay, it's only a very short chapter – I know – but I'm still suffering
writer's block and this is all I can come up with.
Thanks to all the people who have reviewed – all have been encouraging.
SURPRISE
Grace, Mark and Matthew sat in her office discussing the case.
"We haven't got any further," sighed Grace. "Everyone had told us the same thing – both were friendly with everyone, both had dark pasts, they loved each other and, as far as any one knows, neither were having an affair."
"And I think everyone but Mr Kovac mentioned the mugging incident," added Mark.
"Mugging incident?"
"Yea. On their first date, a mugger attacked Doctor Kovac and Miss Lockhart. In self defence Doctor Kovac hit him."
"So what's the problem there?"
"Well, it was more than a hit and Doctor Kovac smashed the guys head into the pavement until he died."
"Oh."
"That's the only major sign of violence though," said Mark. "So, as Grace said, we really haven't got any further."
"We may actually have more information," replied Matthew.
"What?"
"I was talking to Doctor Weaver, who is the chief of the ER and, therefore, was both Doctor Kovac's and Miss Lockhart's employer. She fired Doctor Kovac about a week before him and his fiancée ended up dead."
"How come no one else mentioned this?"
"No one else knew."
"Why'd she fire him."
"He was drunk. She found him drinking at work and had to fire him immediately."
"This is starting to look more and more like murder and suicide on Doctor Kovac's behalf. Fired for drinking, killed a man."
There came a knock on the office door.
"Yes?"
"Detective DiMarco?"
"There's someone here to see you who says they might have some information on the case."
So, who do you people think this mystery person should be? Review and tell me 'cause I don't really have many ideas. And if you have a way you think this could end – tell me too – I'm still trying to work it out.
