Basil sighed as he walked down the street, thinking of the information of Isabelle he looked at last week.
After the murders, there was no movement with Isabelle. The last paper he had told the reason why.
She was institutionalized.
She was brought in half dead, looking like a zombie and also from drinking massive amounts of liquor. The doctors had to resuscitate her because her heart stopped. However, when she woke up, she started screaming and crying. She was left in that asylum for six months, in restraints most of time. The report said, she was crying most of the time.
Then one day, the doctors reported that she just woke up and asked where she was. She then told the doctors she doesn't remember the events from before. She doesn't even know how she got in the asylum.
In other words, she doesn't remember what she has done before.
Basil sighed as he rubbed his temples.
He knows that as a detective and an upholder of the law, he has to question her and bring up this situation, which could make her have a breakdown. But at the same time, he cannot fault for wanting to take action, to want justice for her friend.
This one of the reasons why he hated his job, knowing that some criminals deserve much worse then jail, much worse then just rotting behind bars. That they deserved to burn in hell.
He barely had slept this past week, trying to decide what to do. He felt exhausted and spent.
Suddenly, he felt someone grab him from behind and put a cloth over his mouth and nose. He smelled that it was chloroform and he struggled, but his body went limp as he passed out.
Basil slowly opened his eyes, his vision a little hazy. He shook his head, trying to clear his head. The memory from his assault came into his head and he sat up with a start, looking around the room.
He saw it was a hotel room, lavishly done. He then smelled something, something like cigarettes and the sewers. His eyes widened, swiftly turning around with his voice caught in his throat.
There stood, looking smugly at him, was Ratigan, who then went and sat in the chair from across of him.
"Evening, Basil." he said smoothly, "Lets have ourselves a little talk."
AN: So, here we have the reason why Isabelle doesn't seem affected.
She doesn't remember.
Isabelle is not used to committing such violent acts,so she was traumatized and nearly drunk herself to death. I did researched on this, you could just forget when you go through a trauma.
Also, as you can see, Basil is having a moral dilemma. He doesn't blame Isabelle for doing that, but he still upholds the law. So, he's having a problem.
Uh oh, Ratigan caught hi, just what is he going to do? Stay tuned!
Anyway, comments are loved and I don't own GMD, just Isabelle!
