The Choice

Chapter 30

After the call with Iris, Caitlin and I went to Jitters and waited for her who arrived ten minutes later, as she had promised. We sat down, ordered three coffees, and explained what we wanted her to help us with.

"So this is it, this afternoon one of you was murdered at the doorstep, and we have evidence that says the killer is Amunet's former brother-in-law." There were some situations with her sister's death that were left unresolved and he vowed to be vigilant to Amunet, but we cannot endanger her, nor her, but he has to pay for what he has done to you. situation to Iris.

- And how can I help you?

"I know you have Central City's most popular computer platform, and I wanted to see if you could post a news report that I showed up with Amunet. To see if he comes to us looking for her whereabouts so we can stop him for the crime." that you did, "said Caitlin.

- Of course I help, I'll go back to the newspaper and deal with it. Do you want me to put in some special information? "Iris asked, pulling her notebook out of her suitcase.

"You can't because her name is Amunet, you have to put her real name, which is Leslie Jocoy." You can tell by a news that a prestigious bio-engineer who was hired by the millionaire Leslie Jocoy.- Caitline Iris said as she said, pointed in her notepad.

- Okie, I have already pointed, when I arrive I do and I will send you the link to see how it was .- said Iris getting up from the table where we were.- I just wanted to say thank you for trusting me.

We just had coffee and went back to CCPD waiting for Iris's message and twenty-seven minutes she sent me an email link that contained the news that the photograph was one of Caitlin with Amunet. In the course of the news he talked about how Amunet admired the young engineer and how she thought she would be a key ally for her lab.

I texted Iris saying she was excellent and thanking her for her help and now I was hoping it would work. An hour and nothing was going on, but then Caitlin received an anonymous call asking to meet at the park at midnight today. The voice said that she had information about her new employer and that it was important, and of course Caitlin accepted.

"Now we wait" Caitlin said, sitting in the chair at my desk.

It was half past six when Caitlin and I finally went home to rest a while before our big date. We had dinner and then went to watch some television until it was time to leave the house. It was midnight, not even a room when we reached the park, and the light was still dim, which made things even more frightening.

Caitlin sat on one of the benches waiting for Victor while I stepped behind some shrubbery near the bench. It wasn't too close because he could see that I was here and things could get complicated but he wasn't going too far either, because he didn't want anything bad to happen to Caitlin, even though she had a special element of surprise, Killer Frost. . Twenty minutes later Victor appeared and sat next to Caitlin.

"Good night, is the girl Caitlin Snow correct?" Victor asked.

- Yes, it's me, I was worried about your call ... You told me you had important information about Leslie.

- Not so much information, but questions.... I mean just one... Where is she? "Victor asked, smiling.

- Excuse me? But do you know her?

"It's a long story, do you know where she is or not?"

- Sorry but I do not know ... She hired me via the internet and tomorrow would be the first day I was going to see her live ... We have only spoken by video call and she appears to be in a laboratory, but unfortunately I do not know where it is. - Caitlin said downloading head but he didn't seem convinced by her answer.

"I don't believe you, I know you know where she is and I need you to say it," Victor said, pulling a pistol out of his coat pocket.

"Look sorry, I don't know what you want from her, but I'm telling her the truth ... I really don't know where she is," Caitlin said getting to her feet but he did too and pointed his gun at her.

"I'll really have to insist, you know I really need to meet her."

"Yeah, but I told you I don't know where she is," Caitlin said more aggressively. If I didn't know better, I'd say that Killer Frost is starting to get unnerved and it doesn't take long for her to go out and take care of her. situation.- I agreed to meet you because you killed an innocent lady today at your doorstep.

- Who are you really?

"My name is Detective Caitlin Snow and I work at CCPD," Caitlin replied.

- Police? But how is it possible...?

"Well, when I learned that you were looking for your ex-sister-in-law, I went to meet her and after she explained the situation to me, I falsified the news so that you would come to me."

"So you know where she is?" The man asked in a mixture of happiness and irritation.

- Listen ... I'm from the police ... Of course I know where she is. The question is, will I tell you? Of course not!

- I do not see an option on your part, you came here alone and without a weapon, so I'm in advantage and I'm not afraid to shoot to know what I want. - Victor looking at Caitlin.

"Then shoot... I won't tell you anything," Caitlin replied and he was clearly unnerved by the situation.

Slowly not to alarm him, I stepped out of my hiding place toward them and I knew his gaze would shoot no matter what the consequences. When I reached the edge of him, I heard a shot but managed to arrest him, causing him to drop his weapon.

"We got it Cait," I said but got no answer, so I turned to face her and that's when I saw that the shot had hit her right side. I went to her side but she didn't seem to hear me right.
