Abigail - S01 E68

Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 68

Felicia knocked on the door and walked in without waiting for permission.

Jersey was typing something on his laptop when he noticed her presence.

He looked up at her with a deep frown on his face.

“What are you doing_” His voice trailed off when she started crying, crouching.

“He betrayed me.” She cried, squeezing her eyes shut.

Jersey hurriedly stood up and rushed to her side.

“What happened? Who betrayed you?” He worriedly asked, wrapping his arms around her body.

“Marshall…” She buried her face into his chest, crying profusely. “He cheated on me… Can you believe that? He hurt me, brother.”

Jersey’s face reddened in anger and he attempted to stand up and leave the office so he can go to Marshall and beat the crap out of the bastard but Felicia stopped him by clutching his arm.

“Don’t.”

“Why not?” He hissed. “How could that animal cheat on you, huh?”

“I will take care of him, please. Don’t go to him.” She pleaded.

Jersey released a deep breath and embraced his sister, securing her in his large arms.

“What do you want me to do?” He asked, planting a kiss on top of her head.

“Just hold me like this and don’t leave me.”

“I’m right here, baby sis. I won’t leave you. I promise.”

Sandra carefully opened her eyes, blinking severally before her vision finally adjusted to the ray of sunlight.

Nurse Cora was standing beside her by the time she surveyed her surrounding.

She whined when she felt a little sting from the pepper sauce in her eyes.

“Are you okay, Doctor?” Cora asked.

“Mm-hmm.” She hummed in response. “I can’t believe that bitch would do this to me. She should be mad at her husband but instead, she did the complete opposite and almost blinded me. The nerves of that ingrate I helped show the true colors of her dear husband.”

“I don’t mean to be disrespectful, Dr. Sandra. But why did you do that?”

“Do what?”

“F**k someone else’s husband.”

“Who are you to judge me?” She snapped at the nurse. “Did you know that Marshall was a married man before now, huh? I am the victim here!”

“No, you are not. The victim is his wife and not you. Here is my advice for you, start looking for another job somewhere else.” Cora advised.

‘Oh, shit. She is right.’ Sandra pretended to be uninterested. “Where is Thelma?”

“She hasn’t resumed her shift. I tried calling her but she is not picking up the call.”

“That’s…odd.”

“I know, right? Thelma never comes late to work.”

••••

“Then we should dig deeper into Minty. She might have no family but she definitely has friends or even a boyfriend.” Robert slightly shrugged.

“Speaking of friends,” Emma began. “Do you remember how many people Minty told about what she saw during the night of the murder?”

Robert thought over it and frantically nodded his head.

“Yes. Luca and Sammy were there.” He said. “Do you think they are somehow involved?”

“I am trying to cross out the possibilities.” She stated. “It is coincidental for the murderer to know that Minty saw him/her the night they came out of Tara’s room. I mean, she knew it from the very beginning and nothing serious happened but immediately she told the four of us about it in the cafeteria, she died that very day.”

“Woah. Does that make the four of you suspects?” Ginny questioned, staring between Emma and Robert.

They both glared at her and ignored her statement.

“Should we call them over and interrogate them?” Robert asked.

“No. We are not yet done with the undercover mission so we can’t blow up our identity now. Tomorrow we will return to the hospital as janitors and this time around, Sammy and Luca will be part of the things/people we need to look out for.” She said.

“So now what?” Ginny asked.

“Ginny, you are going to go to the morgue while Dr. Abby performs the autopsy…”

“Wait, Dr. Abby? Isn’t that your friend?” Robert asked.

“Yes, it is her.” She responded. “I trust her more than I trust the doctors who performed the last autopsy of two years ago. Because if they were really killed by poison, how come it wasn’t detected by them?”

“Ah, that’s true. Does that mean the doctors are working for the killer?” Ginny frowned.

“Or maybe they are not competent.” Emma sighed. “Anyway, as I was saying. Take note of everything that goes on there. There has to be proof on traces of thallium poison on the victim’s body system.”

Ginny nodded her head, coming up to her feet. “Okay. Your friend is already there, right?”

“Yes. And oh, Chief Desmond mustn’t know that this case is linked to Santos Hospital. We can’t let him take it away from us.”

“Sure.” Robert and Ginny said.

“I will get going.” Ginny announced, picked up her cross-bag, and left the office.

“What about me?” Robert asked by the time they were alone.

“You are going to join me to interrogate the witness who reported the murder to the cop.” She answered. “But first, what happened?”

“What happened… where?”

“Don’t feign ignorance, Mr. Man You obviously don’t look the brightest this morning. It’s fine if you don’t_”

“They are getting married.” He blurted out, cutting her off.

“I’m sorry, what?”

He sighed. “My best friend and enemy are getting married. And in case you are wondering who the enemy is, I’m talking about Tessa.”

“Tessa. Isn’t that the name of your sister?”

“She is not my sister.” He growled.

Emma raised her hands up in surrender.

“Congratulations to them.” She smiled.

“Congratulation?” His face hardened. “My best friend betrayed me.”

“I think you are exaggerating this whole thing, Robby.”

“Don’t give me that crap. He has been dating her for three years and f**king kept it away from me. What do you call that if not betrayal, huh?”

“I’m sure he wanted to tell you but was just scared of your reaction. Besides, look at how you are reacting now about the news.”

“Ugh. Let’s drop the conversation, Emma. I don’t want to talk about them.” He groaned.

“Rob, I know this is not in my place to ask but…can’t you just forgive your sister and move on from the_”

“Drop it, Emma.” He said in a cold voice. “Just as you’ve said, it is not in your place to ask that of me.”

“Oh. I’m sorry.” She rose to her feet. “Let’s go.”

Robert stood up at the same time her phone started ringing.

She answered the call when she saw it was Mr. Reid calling.

“Hello?” She answered.

“Am I onto Detective Emma?”

“Yes, you are. How did it go?” She asked.

“The result is out.” He paused. “You and your team’s speculation were right. The bottle has traces of thallium poison.”

“Thank you for the information.”

“You’re welcome. Call me whenever you need anything.”

She smiled. “I will. Bye.” She hung up the call.

“What did he say?” Robert asked.

“We were right. The bottle has traces of thallium poison. If there are likewise traces of thallium poison in Minty’s system then that will be a confirmation that the killer has been killing his/her victim with thallium.”

••••

The door opened and Ginny entered.

Abby turned to face the young girl.

“You must be Ginny,”

“And you must be Abby.” They nodded their heads, answering each other questions.

“You are late.”

“Sorry, I was stuck in traffic.” Ginny apologized.

“It’s fine. Now that you are here, let’s get to work.”

••••

Thelma was lying down unconscious on cold wet ground in a dark room, she was blindfolded.

A few minutes later, she regained consciousness but when she opened her eyes, she still couldn’t see anything because of the blindfold.

She tried to move her hands and legs but they were tied up.

“What’s going on? Where am I?” She asked out loud, breathing heavily.

“You are awake.” A deep voice said from behind and Thelma screamed in shock.

“Ahhh!”

The unknown stranger let out a deep chuckle. “Scream all you want, honey. No one is gonna hear you.” He paused. “…or safe you.”
