Revenge of The Furtive Billionaire Heir by Ryker Helios

33. Detectives.

We managed to make it to the hospital to visit the victims within visitor hours. The employees were pretty shocked, and I couldn’t fault them for that Gomez was still in the ER, but the doctors said that he was in a medically induced coma from which he would be waking up soon, to our immense relief I promised the employees that they will be compensated for this damage, and their hospital bills will be charged by the company. They will also be getting paid leave for however long they needed to heal. The employees were thankful for this, which made me a bit uncomfortable. I was more than aware of the inhuman nature of corporate when it came to sick leaves and wages, but Zelt Tech wasn’t like them. Well, it might have been before, but not anymore. Not as long as I had a say in it.

After visiting the victims of the shootout, I get a call from Coraline.

“Hey, Coraline, what’s up?”

“Jace. Are you at the hospital? Gerald said that he’ll take you to visit the victims of the shootout. My god, I still can’t believe that happened.” The concern is clear in her voice, along with urgency.

“Me neither, honestly. And yes, Gerald took me. In fact, we just came out of the hospital.”

“That’s good, because there are two policemen here-well, a policeman and a policewoman, and they want to get a statement from you and Gerald,”

I stop short at that and shoot Gerald a glance. Gerald is on his own phone, and I have a feeling that he’s getting the same news as I am.

“Why do they want us to give a statement? We weren’t even there at the crime scene.”

“I think they just want to cover all the bases. After all, the three victims are all Zelt Tech employees.”

“Right,” I sigh. This isn’t the first time I’ve had a meeting with police officers. I’ve spoken with them plenty when my mother had been killed, and those discussions often ended in heartbreak. Suffice it to say, I was not a fan of the police. And yes, I do realize that my opinion is heavily based.

“So, you two better get down here soon. They seem restless here, and the people are starting to notice.”

“Got it. We’ll be right there.” I end the call and turn to Gerald, “Do you think they believe us to be suspects?”
