The Hard Way
this went down, every member of Luke’s unit is in police custody, including Zuccari. The IOPC are on it now, interviewing them one by one. Inspector Gillan reckons it’s only a matter of time until one of them caves under the pressure. All I care about is Zuccari getting his; he started it.”Hayes opened her bloodshot eyes. “And what about us?”
“Suspended, until further notice.” Miller said it nonchalantly, so as not to alarm her. “I’ve made my statement to Gillan already. I’ve been told it’s a formality, that if my statement’s true, the IOPC will clear us.”
“But I killed… a cop. I shot Vodicka.”
“Yeah, because she was about to slit my throat. Don’t ever forget that. You saved my life yesterday. If you hadn’t pulled the trigger, it’d be me lying in the morgue, not that bitch. Honestly, you did nothing wrong.” Miller wanted so badly for Hayes to believe her words. The doctor wasn’t wrong; her partner was the bravest woman she’d ever met.
“I’m so sorry about Luke,” Hayes said, tears rolling down her cheek, onto her pillow. “I know how much you liked him.”
“Me too.” Her chin wobbled. A lump formed in her throat, promising to strangle her. “I really liked him.” Hayes’ hand reaching out for hers, fingers interlocking, was all it took. Miller put her head on Hayes’ sheet and sobbed.
