Abigail - S01 E58

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 58

Ginny drank the last drop of coffee and yawned tiredly, stretching her muscles.

She has been cross-checking the photos of all the victims but hasn’t found anything tangible. Yet.

“I need more caffeine.” She was about to stand up when she noticed something on one of the victim’s hair.

Ginny studied the picture closely and the others as well. Including that of Tara.

She noticed the hair loss of the victims. All of them lose a patch of hair. It can’t be a coincidence.

Ginny pinched her brows together, still staring at the pictures.

“What poison could cause hair loss?”

ROBERT: SHOULD WE BE HERE? WHAT IF SOMEONE SEES US AND RECOGNIZES US?

EMMA: KEEP YOUR HEAD LOW. WE ARE HERE TO GET ANSWERS FROM THE JANITORS, AREN’T WE? AND WE CAN ONLY DO THAT BY BONDING WELL WITH THEM.

ROBERT: I KNOW BUT…

EMMA: BUT WHAT?

EMMA: AND CAN YOU STOP FROWNING YOUR FACE LIKE THAT?????

ROBERT: ????

“Who are you chatting with?” Minty asked, interrupting Emma’s little banter with Robert through text.

“My friend.” Emma quickly answered, dropping her phone back into her pocket.

“Hope I didn’t distract you?”

“Nah.”

Sammy sipped orange juice from a cup straw, staring between Emma and Robert.

“Can you tell us more about yourselves?” He asked.

“What else do you want to know about us aside from our names?” Robert queried, shoving a piece of meat into his mouth and chewing it carefully.

“Why you decided to work as a janitor, for starters.” Sammy shrugged.

Emma was about to grab a bottle of water from the table but Robert collected it before she could, he uncapped the bottle and gave it to her.

“Thank you, Robby.” Emma said as she gulped water, letting out a refreshing breath.

“Robby?” Minty repeated, giving her a weird look. “Why did you call Richard that?”

“What?” Emma face-palmed herself for the terrible mistake. “Uh… Well, he reminds me of Robin Hood, you know, from that cartoon.”

‘F**k, good lie, Emma. Good lie. Don’t ruin this plan, stupid.’ She thought to herself.

“Oh. I see. Just like the way, Sammy reminds me of Gaston. You know, from the beauty and the beast.”

They both chuckled.

Sammy threw them a hard glare.

“I heard that.”

“Sure, you did.” Minty rolled her eyes.

“So,” Robert cleared his throat. “You asked a_”

“Did you hear?” Luca interrupted Robert as he approached the table with a tray of food and sat down beside Sammy.

“Heard what?” Sammy and Minty asked at the same time.

“The detectives were here not quite long ago.” He informed.

Emma pulled out her phone and quickly sent a text to her partner.

EMMA: THIS IS OUR MOMENT????

ROBERT: ????

“Really?” Sammy said and Luca nodded his head.

“Why?” Minty asked.

“To check the CCTV footage, of course.” He answered.

“Did they find anything?” She asked.

“Unfortunately, no.”

Minty bites her lower lip and started playing with her food, a frown on her face.

Emma observed her and noticed the girl’s strange behavior. She doesn’t know her well but something tells her that she was battling with an internal affair.

“What happened?” Robert asked, pretending to be clueless.

“Come closer,” Sammy instructed and everyone leaned close to the table. “There was a murder in the hospital a few weeks ago. The cops are investigating but with the recording of that night gone, it will be pretty difficult for them.”

“Oh, my.” Robert shook his head, sadly.

“Sometimes I fear of being the killer’s next victim.” Sammy said.

Luca laughed. “Don’t be afraid, buddy. You are nothing special for the killer to notice.”

Emma creased her brows as she process Luca’s words.

‘What is the connection between these victims?’ She thought. ‘The five victims were all Abby’s patients but Tara wasn’t. Although, there was a special bond between Tara and Abby… Could Abby be the reason why the murderer is killing innocent people?’ She said in her head but got distracted.

“I saw something that night,” Minty blurted out, grabbing everyone’s attention, including that of Emma’s.

“You what?” Sammy and Luca asked in sync.

She hesitated.

“I saw something that night the murder happened.” She repeated in a low voice.

“What did you see?” Emma asked.

It was silence for a while as Minty was taking her time to talk.

“Dr. Sandra dropped by the hospital that night dressed in all-black attire. She spoke to Thelma before leaving the hospital.”

“Okay? How does that matter?” Luca asked.

“That’s because she was stepping out of the dead patient’s ward when I saw her.”

“What?”

“Ward 302. I can’t forget it. Dr. Abby always asks me to check up on the patient whenever she can’t.” She sighed.

“Wait, does this mean Dr. Sandra is the killer?” Sammy asked.

“Should we be having this conversation here?” Luca added.

“Just keep your voice low.” Robert suggested.

“But there was something else that happened that night,” She began. “Someone else entered the patient’s ward before Dr. Sandra came along.”

“What?” Robert and Emma said in sync, looking confused.

“Listen,” She kept her voice even lower than before. “there is a possibility that Dr. Sandra killed the patient but there is also a possibility that she might have arrived at the scene when the patient was already dead.”
