Brooklyn Revival (completed)

Chapter 54- Statements

After a few hours, Magnus had calmed down enough in Alec's lap and decided to give his legs a break from his weight.  He got up and climbed onto the bed and took Alec's hand. He sighed as he laid there and then looked up when the door opened and the doctor came in.

"Hello, Mr Bane. How are you feeling now?" He asked as he came to the side of his bed.

"I'm okay. I... I've calmed down a lot but I am just tired" Magnus said and smiled.

"Let me have a look at this nose, then do a quick check of you and hopefully we can get you home" The doctor smiled and sat on the edge of the bed as he looked over Magnus'. Magnus winced a little as the doctor pressed along his nose gently. "That is broken. I wasn't sure if the swelling was from a break or the cut."

"What happens now then?" Magnus asked having never had a broken nose before.

"At the moment, it's too swollen to manipulate back into shape so I will add a stitching strip across the cut for now. Then at home, you need to ice it for fifteen minutes, twice a day. Once the swelling is down, we can numb your nose and put it back into shape" The doctor informed him with a smile.

"Okay," Magnus sighed. "Am I okay to go home?"

"Yes it's fine with me but the police are outside and need to talk to you," He said and looked at him sympathetically.

"Okay, can you send them in please?" Magnus asked with a sigh and the doctor nodded before leaving the room. He squeezed Alec's hand as he waited for them. "I hate all this... I just want to go home... but... but where do we go?"

"Moms. She's already got the spare bedroom with an ensuite set up for us. We will stay there for now" Alec smiled and kissed his hand. They both looked at the door when it opened and two officers walked in along with Mark.

"Mr Bane. I am DCI Hilden. I have taken over the case due to the incompetence of some of my officers. Due to the recent information and evidence given to us by Mr Mark Williams has given us about the deceit and illegal behaviour from the coroner, he is now in custody and will face charges of perjury. I can only apologise for my officers and the way your case has been dealt with but that is why I have taken over. To ensure the wellbeing of yourself and Mr Lightwood and that this case is sorted for you" The man explained sincerely.

"I appreciate that. W-What about Camille?" Magnus asked.

"Miss Belcourt was found dead at the scene. She had taken her own life however I was hoping one of you two would be able to provide an identification of the deceased so you can both know with absolute certainty that she is dead" The Inspector suggested. "Would either of you be will too?"

"I will," Alec said straight away and frowned when Magnus shook his head.

"No... No, I will" Magnus objected. "I... I need to see her myself. I need to confirm it myself"

"But Mag-"

"No Alexander... no buts, I need to do this" Magnus stated. He wasn't going to let anyone talk him round.

"Fine. I am coming too though. You're not doing this alone" Alec said stubbornly which made Magnus smile slightly as he nodded.

"Okay, fine deal," Magnus said before he turned back to the officers. "So what happens now?"

"Now, we need to make a statement of what happened. I need to know everything from finding out about the accident, the harassment and the hotel incident. Is that ok?" Hilden asked as he pulled out a notebook.

"Yes," Magnus swallowed. He took a deep breath as he started to tell them everything. That his father and Camille had 'apparently' died and what the officers had told him then. He moved onto telling them about the phone calls, the women he kept seeing and Alec being assaulted before reliving the hotel. Magnus broke down in tears on more than one occasion during his explanation but more so when he spoke about the recent event. He told the officers exactly what the pair had said to him and what they wanted. Alec had moved to sit with him on the bed as Magnus spoke. Scared that he would have another anxiety attack and was pleased he hadn't when he managed to get through the whole explanation okay. When he had finished Mark cleared his throat and they looked to him.

"I was telling the police what I had found out but you need to know too. Camille had cut the breaks on your father's car expecting you and him to be in there, as you already know. Jonathon and Lilith had a... complicated, if that's even the right word, relationship. Lilith had started seeing your father 3 months before the accident and started being more with him over Jonathon. Camille had noticed the charge in Asmodeus and that it seemed he had stopped depositing money into her bank account regularly. I have searched Camille's apartment and there was nothing there but when I looked into Jonathon's apartment... well, it all became clear. Unfortunately due to jealous and money, both of the pair turned sour and violent towards yourself, Lilith and Asmodeus. Alec was just caught in the crossfire that day he was attacked" Mark told them. "I called Alec the minute I found out their plan but I was too late. I am so sorry, to the pair of you. You hired me to do a job and I did it too late"

"You don't have to apologise Mark. You did more than anyone else and I appreciate it. We both do" Magnus smiled.

"Thank you" Mark smiled back and nodded. "I will leave you all to it. The police have my statement and evidence now so my job here is done"

"Thank you," Alec said as he stood up and shook Mark's hand. "Make sure to send us the bill for your work"

"Will do Mr Lightwood," He said before nodding again as he left the room.

"We are going to go too. Do you have somewhere else you are staying at the moment? I'm guessing you won't be going back to the hotel now" Hilden asked.

"We will be staying with my mother for a while and then we are going to take a holiday but we can leave our contact information with you if you need to get ahold of us" Alec explained as he took the notepad from the Inspector and wrote down both their numbers as well as Maryse address.

"Okay. That should be all I need from you but if I need to let you know any more details or need to know anything I will contact you. I'll bring the doctor back in. He seems eager to get you home" Hilden chuckled and shook their hands along with the other officer who had stayed quiet the whole time before they left. The doctor coming back in when they did.

"Let's get you home. I just need you to sign this document and then you are good to go" He smiled as he held the paper for Magnus to sign. "Okay, that's all done. Just remember to ice that wound for fifteen minutes, twice a day. Then come back in a week or so. Then we can manipulate it back into place. Take painkillers if you need them"

"Will do. Thank you for everything" Magnus smiled and stood up before he took Alec's hand.

"You're very welcome. Have a good night" The doctor smiled before he left the room and Alec led Magnus out the room too.

"Let's go home," Alec said as they let the hospital and into a taxi.
