Nick, Greg and Brass were standing in a hospital room. They all just stood there, looking at a young man lying in bed. He had bruises and broken bones all over his body. He was asleep.
Brass went over to his bed, kicking it, causing the man to startle and wake up. „Good morning, sunshine. LVPD. We need to talk to you."
„Are you here to take my statement?" He said weakly.
„Well, sort of..." Brass said amused. „Actually you're under arrest."
„What?" He slowly sit up, groaning and coughing. „I was attacked! Why would you arrest ME?"
„Do you know this man?" Nick went up to him, showing him a pic of the dead rape victim.
The man didn't say a word, just looked at the picture.
„Well how about this one?" Greg showed him a pic of the fighter they arrested earlier today.
„Yes! He's one of the guys who did this to me!" He pointed at his bruised face and body.
„Well, he claims he beat you up because he just saw you rape a man, that's why he and his friends beat you up." Brass explained.
Again he didn't say anything, just looked at the three men with surprise. „Rape..?"
„Don't play dumb on us now, we found the condom you were using raping him. It was smart to use it, I guess. Leaving it at the crime scene? Not so smart." Brass said amused again. He loved this part of his job the most, trying to make the suspects confess.
Again he didn't say anything, just looked to the floor. „Rape? No... It was consensual sex!" He cringed, trying to talk himself out of it.
„See, it wasn't. We have forensic evidence to prove that." Nick said.
„He just had to be punished..." The man finally said, leaving the three investigators confused. „He was always running around, looking for... sex." He said in disgust. „But he would always abuse the hookers and brag about it the next day..."
„So you decided to give him one of his own medicine?" Nick said without understanding this mans motives.
„He was a sinner..." The man said, still looking down the floor.
„So you planned to rape him? That's sick, man." Nick said. Although this man was bruised up pretty bad, Nick showed no sympathy for him.
„I didn't plan it, it just happened." Again he tried to talk himself out of it.
„The evidence is suggesting you did. You used a condom. Rapists usually don't when the rape wasn't premeditated.. But this will be up for the jury to decide..." Greg said, staring at the man with disgust.
