Yusuf Zuck left the scene before the police had all departed, and immediately turned on his cell phone after getting into his car.
Perhaps because he had already killed someone at close quarters once, this time, killing a violent and ruthless thug didn't cause Yusuf much psychological burden.
"You should be credited for your actions this time, right? I wonder if it could lead to a promotion," Yusuf mused with a knowing smile. In truth, his decision to let Ember Vance go was deliberate.
He could have left immediately after the killing, but he felt if you're going to help someone, you should see it through. Ember was valiant and righteous, so she deserved good karma.
Releasing her and telling her how those men died meant that as long as she included it in her report, she would be recognized for her significant contribution. In the police force, recognition could bring promotion a step closer.
A few minutes later, the phone rang; the caller ID showed Samuel Ross.
