The 5-time Rejected Gamma & the Lycan King

Chapter 95

Seeing that Lucianne needed nothing more than food and bed rest, the doctors discharged her before noon. Russell obediently went to kindergarten, leaving the hospital with Annie. Xandar, Christian and Lucianne grabbed a quick bite before they headed to the police station. 1

Xandar only brought Lucianne because he didn’t want to let her out of his sight. But he reminded Lucianne to use as little strength as possible when she was there, meaning no excessive mental gymnastics with whatever they were about to hear from Chief Dalloway.

The Chief brought them to see Agnes Fitzgerald. They peered through the one-way mirror at the tear-strained, exhausted-looking woman. When Xandar asked why she chose to confess, Chief Dalloway said that she ‘regretted ordering the murder’ as soon as she found out what really happened.

Lucianne asked in a soft voice, “How did she know what happened? I doubt the hired killer was able to make a phone call to his employer before he passed out from the blade in his buttocks. And there’s nothing in the news saying that a child was involved. How does Agnes know that it was her contract that went sideways?”

“She said that she hired two people for the task, my Queen. One to kill; and one to drive the killer away after he’d completed his task.”

Christian asked, “Chief, are you saying that the second one got away?”

“That’s what she is saying, your Grace.”

Lucianne pressed the old man, “But you don’t believe her, do you, Chief?”

He looked helplessly at the Queen, and sighed before he said, “I’ve seen criminals, your Highness. And I have to say, this woman doesn’t exhibit any form of criminal behavior. The evidence fits but look at her, my Queen,” he gestured to the window and went on, “She just looks tired and frightened.”

Lucianne had to agree. It was like he said, Agnes was just exhausted and terrified. She didn’t even look remorseful. Xandar then asked Chief Dalloway, “What’s her occupation?”
