At the Hospital
Vincent POV
"He got shot!?" Veronica yelled through the phone.
"Yeah." I affirm "Can you come over here. Vanessa needs you."
"Of course" her voice cracks
I walk over to Nessa and sit beside her.
"Do you want me to get you anything?" I ask. No response. She lifts her head and grabs onto my shirt. Tears streamed down her face onto my lap.
"You find out who did this, now" she demands.
With nothing else to say, I walk out of the room and drive to the station. I call Roni again.
"Change of plans. I'm not going to be in the hospital I'm going to the police station." I say
"What?" She asks.
"I'm gonna find out who did this." I say emphatically.
"Vincent...I don't want you to get hurt." She says
"I won't. I promise. I love you, bye." I hang up.
I reach the station and run up to the chief.
"I know what your going to say, Almanza. And yes. You are on this case, but only because you work harder and more determined when you're under pressure. Find Izzie. She will be your partner for the time being. Find out who did this." The chief says without even looking up from his computer. Izzie can do anything with a computer. I walk up to her.
"Hey... Sorry about Van Wormer." She says
"Thank you. For right now, I just need to find out who did it." I respond.
"Let's get right to it then. Firstly, was it El Diablo?" She asks.
"It can't be. He would do a "stunt" much bigger if it was him." I add
"Let's go down to the crime scene." She advises
As I step out of my car, my eyes are drawn to the massive blood stain in the cement. I take three deep breaths and walk forward.
"You ok, Almanza?" Izzie asks me.
"Yeah." I lie. We both put on rubber gloves. She walks in front of me and talks to the police who are on the scene. The sun starts to rise. I look over the edge and see the ocean. I picture Vanessa saying yes to Aaron. It would have been perfect. A tear drops over the railing, but I notice something shining in the dirt. I push my hand through the fence and grab it. It was the bullet shell and another piece of metal that I couldn't identify. I walk over to Izzie and hand it to her.
"What is this?" She picks the piece of metal up.
"I don't know, but I have a feeling it's not just a piece of trash." I murmur.
"Take these to forensics." She hands the items to the other detectives.
"So, Van Wormer was shot in the chest, but if he was proposing to his girlfriend, wouldn't he be on one knee?" Izzie asks.
"Not necessarily. He could have been standing up. Maybe he didn't have the chance to even ask." I say. Izzie stops walking.
"I know this might be forward, but I think you should ask Vanessa about everything" She says
"She's going through such a rough time right now. I honestly don't think it's my place." I say
"Ok. Can you make Veronica ask?" She says
I pause.
"Fine" I stutter.
"Vincent." She grabs my shoulder."if this case is to close to home, tell the chief."
"No!" I clear my throat."I have to be on this case. He's my best friend."
