"Alright Edmond" Garnet said, as they walked through the maze of hallways in Anaheim General Hospital's Intensive Care Unit "Which room is he in again?"

"The nurse told me that he was in Room 320" Exley replied, straightening his tie "Hopefully we can get some coherent sense out of him. He could be giving us some very useful information"

With that, they moved forward, Exley neglecting to see the worried spark in Garnet's eyes. It was only a matter of seconds before they found the room they were looking for.

"Here it is" Exley whispered, taking his glasses off and putting them in his pocket "Do you want to do the talking or would you like me to do it?"

"You do it" Garnet whispered, her eyes flashing with unknown emotion "If I start grilling this guy, I'll go crazy because of what Siorgiovanni did to my father"

"Alright" Exley agreed as they opened the door to Cuglietta's room. "Here goes nothing"

The Detective Lieutenants walked into the room, both holding their badges. The badly beaten man painfully sat up in bed.

"What the hell is goin' on?" Cuglietta demanded, struggling to get out of bed to chase them out.

"Stay where you are" Garnet said, flashing her badge "I'm Detective Lieutenant Garnet Henley and this is Detective Lieutenant Edmond Exley. We want to ask you a few questions about your attacker"

Cuglietta stopped and slowly got back into bed. A set of crutches was propped up next to his bedside table. The furrows on his face glinted in the sunlight filtering through the windows.

"Mr. Cuglietta" Exley said, taking a close look at his wounds "Is there anything you can tell me about your attacker? Any distinct features? Anything?"

"Yeh" Cuglietta replied, raising his gaze to meet Exley's "It was a woman…she was extremely athletic and was too fast for me"

"How did you know it was a woman?" Garnet demanded, noticeably apprehensive "Are you sure of what you are saying, Mr. Cuglietta?"

"Yeh" Cuglietta replied, looking at her with dark, beady eyes "The attacker had boobs. That is one thing no man can miss. She definitely knew how to pull her punches"

"Is there anything else you can tell us about your attacker, Mr. Cuglietta?" Exley said, writing the description down.

"Whoever she was, she was angry…really angry…she said something about taking Don Siorgiovanni down for good…I hope I don't cross her again"

"That's all we need Mr. Cuglietta" Garnet said, seemingly in a hurry to get out of the room. "Thank you for your cooperation"

"Um yes thank you Mr. Cuglietta" Exley said, frowning at Garnet's behavior "Get well soon"

They walked out of the room, and Exley grabbed Garnet by the arm.

"What the hell is going on?" Exley hissed, looking at her weirdly "You sure as hell wanted to get out of that room in a hurry after he mentioned the attacker was female"

"Put yourself in my place" Garnet replied, wrenching her arm out of his grasp "If this situation was related to your father's murder and you found out more of the description of the mysterious person that is bringing justice forth to those responsible, wouldn't you want to get out there and find that person?"

Exley looked away, realizing she was making a really good point. He then realized that she had warned him that she was sensitive to anything related to this case.

"So what do we do now?" Exley asked, feeling bad that he had lashed out at her.

"I think we should call it a day" Garnet sighed, closing her eyes as she leaned against the wall.

"Sounds good to me" Exley replied, feeling tired himself "We made a good break in this case, now that we know the attacker is female and that she hates Siorgiovanni with a passion"

He stole a glance at Garnet, who still leaned against the wall with her eyes closed.

"How about we go grab something to eat?" Exley added, hoping he could help her feel better.

"Just drop me off at my car" was all she said…
