Documenting Evidence
The hospital’s exterior was crowded with police vehicles, ambulances, and frightened relatives. The attackers controlled the building, but the area outside was not entirely under their influence. Eddie divided his men into small groups, assigning some to watch the entrances and others to monitor the parking area and surrounding roads.“Don't just watch the doors,” he told them. “Watch who's watching the doors. I want to know if anyone is tracking the senator's movements.”A few minutes later, one of his men called over the radio. “Eddie, two men in the parking area. They're keeping their distance, but their attention seems coordinated.”“What are they watching?”“One has his eyes on the entrance. The other is watching approaching vehicles. They both adjusted their positions when an ambulance arrived.”“Keep an eye on them.” Eddie watched the pair before approaching the nearer man. “Can I help you?” the stranger asked.“I'm looking for the senator's personal security detail.”“I d
AEGIS
The courtroom doors swung open. The figure at the entrance stepped forward, and the room fell silent.Claire rose from her seat. Evelyn brought a hand to her mouth. Across the courtroom, the prosecutor stared at the approaching man, his expression changing as recognition settled in.It was the senator. Alive.The judge leaned forward. “Is that really the senator?”The man stopped beside the witness stand. “Yes, Your Honour. I am the senator.”The courtroom erupted. Reporters scrambled to their feet, lawyers exchanged bewildered looks, and the prosecutor hurriedly gathered the papers scattered across his desk. The judge struck his gavel. “Order! I said order!”When the noise finally subsided, the senator looked towards Maverick. “I understand that the prosecution has accused this man of murdering me. I am here to tell this court that he saved my life.”The prosecutor immediately stood. “Your Honour, we cannot simply accept this man’s appearance as proof. The senator was declar
Who Is That?
The courtroom doors opened as the guards escorted Maverick inside. The moment he appeared, angry whispers spread through the room. Some people pointed at him, while others shook their heads in disgust.“That’s the murderer!” “He deserves to die!”Maverick ignored them and continued walking. A thin cut ran across his face, and blood had dried along his cheek. His clothes were slightly dishevelled from the incident outside the courthouse.Darcy, who was already standing beside the defense table, immediately approached him. “Maverick, what happened to your face?”“Nothing serious.”She didn’t argue. Instead, she opened her bag, took out a clean handkerchief, and gently held his chin. “Stay still.”She carefully wiped the dried blood from his cheek. When she reached the cut, she slowed down, making sure not to hurt him. “You should have been more careful,” she murmured.“It was unavoidable.”Darcy examined the wound before stepping back. “Thank you,” Maverick said.“Just make s
Claire Confesses Her Love For Maverick
Richard returned to the room shortly after Darcy left.“Have you finished?” Maverick asked.“Yes. Darcy will begin working on your case immediately. She wants to examine the evidence before deciding on the best approach.”“Good. Make sure she gets everything she needs.”“I will.”Richard paused, then suddenly remembered something. “Oh, there's something I forgot to tell you. Claire is waiting outside. She wants to see you.”“Then bring her in.”“There's one more thing. The regular visitation room is still closed following Emily's shooting incident. The prison authorities are reviewing their security arrangements. I requested permission for Claire to meet you in a different room when I first arrived, but the prison director hadn't approved it at the time. I spoke with him again while you were meeting Darcy, and he's agreed to allow a supervised visit in one of the secure interview rooms.”Maverick nodded. “I appreciate your effort, Richard.”Richard stepped outside and returned a mome
Death Sentence
Maverick looked up when the prison guard opened the visitation room door. “You have a visitor.”He followed the guard inside and found Richard Collins waiting at the table with a briefcase beside him. “Mr Collins,” Maverick greeted him.Richard quickly stood. “Mr Rowe, I'm sorry it took me this long to get here.”Maverick sat opposite him. “What happened?”“I've been trying to reach you for days. I made several attempts, but every time I tried to arrange a visit, the prison authorities made things difficult. I should have found another way sooner.” Richard sighed. “I'm sorry I couldn't get to you earlier.”Maverick gave him a reassuring look. “It's alright. You don't have to blame yourself.”Richard nodded, though he still looked troubled. “I was worried about you. That's why I kept trying until I finally got permission to visit. I also knew you would need proper legal help, so I went through several channels and pulled a few strings to secure the best lawyer in the city.”He placed
The Enemy Of My Enemy Is My Friend
The gunshot sent the visitation room into chaos.“Get down! Everybody get down!”Guards rushed towards Emily. One seized her wrist while another grabbed the gun before she could make another attempt. She struggled as they forced her against the wall and secured her hands behind her back.“Let me go! He killed my brother!” she screamed.Across the glass, Maverick remained standing. The bullet had struck the partition a short distance from his head. A thin crack spread around the impact point, but the glass had held.“Move away from the partition,” a guard ordered.Maverick lowered the receiver and stepped back. Meanwhile, Emily was dragged towards the exit, still fighting against the guards.“He deserves to die! You hear me? He deserves to die!”Nobody answered.-------Emily was taken to an interrogation room, where she sat with her wrists cuffed to the table. Her handbag and personal belongings had been placed inside a transparent evidence bag. An investigator entered with another o
