Damien's POV ♣️
" We're going to search the ambulance why you talk to the head doctor." Agent Valdez said and I nodded.
The head doctor Herman Ramirez led us to his office telling us how he never expected this to happen.
" I'm just don't understand why someone would put so many lives in danger!" He exclaimed.
" Do you have any idea of who might have given them access to the vehicle?"
" Honestly I don't know!" He exclaimed once again and Kimia raised her eyebrows.
" Agent Myers we found an ID belonging to one of the doctors." Agent Valdez said through the earpiece.
" Okay. Name?"
" Carlos DeMaria."
" Okay. Thank you."
" Is there any doctor here by the name Carlos DeMaria.?"
" Yes, he's the deputy head of the hospital. He can't possibly be involved in all this."
Who said anything about him being involved?
The door opened and a doctor walked in.
" You called sir?"
" Called?!, I didn't call you. Carlos this is Agent Myers and Agent Reynolds."
" Nice to meet you." Dr DeMaria said smiling.
" Likewise." Kimia said shaking his hand.
She looked at me and raised an eyebrow.
Something's definitely up.
" If you didn't call him then why is he here?" Kimia asked.
" I honestly don't know!"
" Can I see your phone?, Both of you."
They gave their phones to Kimia and she went through their call log.
" Well according to the call log, you called him. About 10 minutes ago."
" I must have butt dialled him silly me." Dr Ramirez said nervously.
" Are you okay sir?, You seem kind of jumpy." Kimia mused.
" I'm fine. I'm just a little...hyper!, Yeah I had a lot more sugar in my coffee than usual." He said and Kimia smiled.
" Okay."
" Dr DeMaria you're ID was found inside the vehicle containing some illegal drug combinations." I stated and Dr DeMaria frowned.
" That can't be right, my ID is right here." He said showing it to me.
" Did you lose it at any point in time?" Kimia questioned.
" I thought I did but turns out I forgot it in Dr Ramirez's office and he returned it."
Yeah, after making a copy.
" Okay but we have to take you in for questioning."
" Okay." Dr DeMaria replied shakily.
" Fentanyl mixed with morphine and Cocaine is really lethal!" Dr Ramirez exclaimed.
How did he know the drugs that were mixed?
" Who told you the drug combinations?" Kimia asked voicing my thoughts. Dr Ramirez tensed and smiled nervously.
" I over heard some agents talking about it."
I looked over at Kimia and she chuckled.
Something was definitely up.
" Dr Ramirez would you mind holding this for me?" Kimia asked giving him a gold bracelet that she brought out from her pocket.
" Sure!" He replied. The bracelet clipped itself onto Dr Ramirez's hand and he looked at us clearly confused.
" Tsk tsk tsk tsk." I tutted blocking the door.
" I know right. It's like they don't even try anymore!, All I want is for a really tough mission. Is it to much to ask?!"
" I don't understand!, And why isn't this thing coming off?!" Dr Ramirez exclaimed trying to take the bracelet off.
" I wouldn't do that if I were you." Kimia warned and he turned to look at me.
" What is this thing?"
" Oh it's just something that the FBI's tech team has been working on. It's kind of like an ankle monitor on your wrist. But it also serves as an adrenaline control.
You see it measures the amount of adrenaline in your body and if it exceeds the a stated capacity, it shoots volts of electricity into your blood stream to, you, know calm you down.
Although I strongly advise you not to run away. It's still a prototype cause they still can't control how much electricity it shoots. Maybe it's enough to calm you down, maybe it's enough to paralyze you or maybe it's enough to kill you. It's kind of a risk you don't wanna take." Kimia said smiling and he was petrified.
She was bluffing though, the bracelet was nothing but a golden band with clasps. It had none of the features she had listed.
I knew that, she knew that but he didn't have to know that.
" Butt dialled?, Really?!" I questioned.
" I'm actually really offended!, How stupid do you think we are?!, You butt dialled someone and had a three minute conversation!"
" You are a horrible liar. I could literally hear your heartbeat from over here." I added.
" Too much sugar in your coffee?!, You couldn't have gotten a better excuse?!"
" You framed me?" Dr DeMaria asked finally realising what was going on.
" Yes he did and I want to know why." Kimia said.
" After everything I did!, I've spent my entire-"
" Okay!, okay!, okay. When I asked why, I didn't ask you for the story of your life. I just wanna know why you framed Dr DeMaria. If it's because he slept with your wife just tell me ' He slept with my wife.', if it's because he stole from you just say ' He stole from me.' Simple!, No sob story."
" He stole from me!" Dr Ramirez spat out.
" Now that wasn't so hard wasn't so hard was it?, Okay what did he steal from you?" Kimia asked.
" I didn't steal anything from you Dr Ramirez!"
" My promotion. You stole it!, I'm the one who's supposed to travel to England for the position not you!"
" What I'd do to get some popcorn right now." Kimia muttered watching the two doctors.
" Uhh, Dr Ramirez you might want to calm down. Prototype remember?"
" Dr Ramirez I didn't ask for the promotion, I was just as surprised as you were when it was given to me!, I thought it was going to be you."
" So you decided to frame him because of a promotion?, Dude how materialistic are you?"
" I would have gotten away with if it weren't for-"
" Us meddling kids?" Kimia added and we all looked at her in disbelief.
" Oh come on it was the perfect time. I couldn't help it!" She said and I rolled my eyes.
" You made a deal with drug dealers and framed an innocent man all because of a promotion?" I asked.
" I was going to call the police and tell them about the ambulance. So that way he gets in trouble and I get to be a hero." Dr Ramirez muttered and Kimia slammed her hand on the table. He jumped a little and looked at her.
And boy was she pissed!
She held him by his collar and slammed him against the wall.
" So what would have happened if they had driven away with the drugs before the police got here?!, Or if the drug dealers had found out that you were going to double cross them?!
Do you know how many people could have died if those drugs had gotten out?! You were willing to risk innocent lives all for a stupid promotion. You are a doctor!, You're meant to save lives not take them! When you came into this profession you swore an oath to do no harm!"
She let him go and he slid down the wall breathing heavily. He looked really scared of Kimia.
" I hope you rot in jail." She spat walking out of the room.
Agent Valdez came in a few minutes later and handcuffed Dr. Ramirez.
" Good job Agent Myers." He said and I nodded.
" Do you know where Mia is?"
" She should be outside the hospital."
" Thanks."
I ran outside to see her sitting on the sidewalk. And I sat beside her.
" You okay?"
" I'm fine I'm just really mad. How could he be so selfish?"
" Greed can push a man to do a lot of things." I said and she sighed.
