Tim

'Should we patch her up or something? She did just rip out her iv and her other machines!' I ask Sergeant Grey.

'She seems fine right now, but if you notice anything then we can do something. It's Chen, she wont stop for anything until David's caught, not even to patch herself up.'

'Alright.' I cant help but worry. What if something happens to her? It doesn't seem unlikely considering what's happened before.

'Tim, she'll be fine. She'll tell us if something's wrong.'

'Yeah.'

Lucy

My eyes are darting across the corridor, following every little sound I can hear. I can't take any chances with David. I need to find him. I need to be the one.

'Luce, how are you doing?' Tim asks.

'I'll be fine when we catch this guy.'

What am I meant to say? Oh Tim I'm perfectly fine after being kidnapped, shot, assaulted, attacked in my hospital room and now searching for the suspect! Of course I'm not fine!

It's at that moment that I hear a clatter of trays in the room just ahead of me, and I turn my attention there instead. I look back at Tim and Sarge, and they knod back at me.

I position myself beside the door, my gun pointing inwards as Tim swings the door open.

We've got you David.

It's him.

This was too easy.

Too easy.

Something's not right...

I hold my gun in his direction, my finger ready to pull the trigger at any moment.

He's not moving.

'PUT YOUR HANDS WHERE WE CAN SEE THEM!' Sarge yells.

He's still not moving.

I look over at Tim as he begins approaching David. He puts his hand on his shoulder and pulls him backwards.

'He's dead!' I half gasp.

Theres white froth around his mouth, implying he's overdosed and suffered a stroke. Next to his body, there are several pots of prescription drugs, all empty.

He killed himself.

Tim puts a hand on my shoulder, giving it a comforting rub. 'He's gone Lucy. He's not our problem anymore.'

I look at him and knod, before following them out of the cramped room.

'This is 7-lincon-7 at shaw memorial, our suspect is deceased by overdose.'

'Copy that 7-lincon-7'
