Chapter 104 He Is All I Have

“Okay.” Melody nodded.

They completely blocked off every exit Madeline could’ve used to leave.

Seeing no way out, Madeline had no choice but to turn to Waylon. “I… I don’t know anything.”

Waylon chuckled, his ridiculously handsome face taking on a slightly sharp edge. “Miss, I haven’t even asked you anything yet. Why are you already saying you don’t know? Or do you already know what I’m going to ask?”

When it came to interrogation, no one in the entire bureau could match Waylon.

Madeline panicked even more and turned to Chase. “Dr. Goodman, there’s a storage room downstairs we haven’t checked. We’re supposed to finish inventory today. If we don’t, we can’t leave. I’ve got a three–year- old at home. I can’t work overtime.”

Chase folded his hands on the table. “I’ll have someone else handle your work. You won’t need to stay late. As long as you cooperate, you’ll be out of here soon.”

Of course, “out of here” might also mean out of the hospital altogether.

Looking at Madeline’s expression, Waylon knew he’d found the right person.

So, it was time to begin.

“Have you seen this person before?” Waylon pulled out a photo of Aimee and flipped it to show Madeline.

Just as expected, her pupils dilated slightly after seeing it, but she still looked away and said she didn’t recognize her.

“Really? You’re sure you’ve never seen her?”

“I’m not a nurse. I don’t go into patient rooms. The pharmacy is mostly staff–only. How would I know her?”

Waylon shot back immediately. “I just asked if you’ve seen her. I never said she was a patient. See? You do know something. Miss, do you know you’re breaking the law?”

“I… I’m not! I really don’t know her.”

Waylon said, “According to the hospital’s security footage, Aimee was staying in Room 316, right across from the nurse’s station. When you’re on night shift, you like to sit at the station and watch TV with the others. On video, you walk past 316 over five times a night. And I thought you were supposed to be in the pharmacy?”

Plus, Room 316 had a constant flow of people. The door was open most of the time. Of the five times Madeline walked past, two or three times the door was open–and she glanced inside.

There was no way she hadn’t seen Aimee’s face.

Madeline said, “I stayed with the night shift crew, but I wasn’t taking care of that patient.”
