When they got out of his office, they heard that the patient's parents had arrived.
Gaol adjusted his glasses as he approached them, the setting sun casting long shadows across the window and his white lab coat was billowing in the wind. It would have been an amazing sight if there was no police officer behind them.
(Jude: what?!!)
Officer Jude looking professional, followed as they entered the patient's room.
(Jude: Just tell me if you have problems with me, I won't have you arrested.)
"You are the patient's parents?"
"Yes, doctor, can you explain to us what happened to our son and why there is a police officer here."
Jude was about to talk when Gaol raised his hand to signal to him that he is the one who is going to do the talking.
"Well your son committed a suicide, attempted suicide to be precised, that's what the initial findings of the paramedics when they are trying to save your son's life out of Hades."
"Yes, that's what the nurse said when we inquired about the situation, but that doesn't answer why there is a police officer here!"
The patient's mother shouted, as she was getting agitated.
"Calm down ma'am, I am not done with my explanation yet" said Gaol as he fixes his eyeglasses. "That was the initial thought that your son committed suicide, but look at this pictures, I'm sorry if I have taken it without your permission but the situations kind of urgent." He explained to Mrs. George who looks like she will lash out at him any moment.
"There are a lot of bruises on your son's body, and we also conducted a blood test on him where we discovered that he didn't only suffer from blood loss due to cutting his wrist but also to drug overdose. It looks like the person who wanted to kill your son wants to make sure that he is dead."
Mr. and Mrs. George went silent as if they can't process the whole situation.
"Now I am going to tell you why there is a police officer here. I hope that you can provide him with all the information that will be needed during the investigation."
Both parents nodded as fast as you blink your eyes.
"While I was examining his body, I didn't just notice the bruises that can't be seen if you wear clothes, but also some injection marks in his arms. Does your son take any medicine through injections?"
"Yes, he's taking vitamin b12." the mother replied.
"I see, then the person who knew about this changes your son's medicine which your son accidentally injected himself. The reason I called a police offer here is because I believe that his suicide is stage." Gaol then went near to the patient's bed then raised his injured wrist.
"You see here, I bet the perpetrator didn't know that your son has sensitive skin hence he didn't notice that when he gripped your son's wrist to cut it, he left a mark."
"Can you find out who's behind all of this?" Mr. George asked as he was gripping the edge of his coat.
Gaol nodded to Jude, then Jude step forward
"That's the reason why I am here, we need to know all the information about your son's life and also yours. We also need to conduct a search on your house."
"We will cooperate in your investigation, please find the asshole who did this to our son" Mrs. George sniffled.
"I will also need your permission to conduct a different test on your son, because I also suspect that your son was abused sexually," Gaol said which turned the tense atmosphere even more heavy. Blyss who has been silent throughout the entire conversation gave him a glare in which he wondered if he did something wrong, Blyss just rolled his eyes at the emotionally handicapped person.
While Jude and Mr. and Mrs. George was having a conversation. Gaol can't help but to remember where he had seen this kid.
"Hey Mr and Mrs. George, did your son participate in a piano competition a few weeks ago?"
"Yes, how did you know?"
They asked Gaol who was frantically swiping through his phone, then stopped at a picture of a poster then showed it to them.
"My friend stood up to his date so he called me and dragged me to watch this competition. No wonder he is so familiar." He shakes his head then goes into a deep thought.
Jude was about to talk to him when her sister gestured to him not to disturb Gaol then continued to talk to the parents then after a while to contact his colleagues about this case.
When Jude was about to exit the building, he heard Gaol calling him.
"When you start the investigation, start searching the patient's room thoroughly, especially the place where he puts his medicine. Also search every blindspot of the surveillance footage. Well if you can search the entire house"
"Are you sure you're a doctor?"
"Yes I am, I'm just afraid that you would do your job sloppily" Gaol said then left
Jude was stupefied because it was the first time someone talked to him that way. When he recovered he realized that Gaol already left. Hence when he arrived at the station all his colleagues were suffering from his temper. Which they wonder who offended this hot tempered horse.
