ROTM 2009.21 C 2: Investigate
Author’s Note: this ficlet is AU and RP-based
I was alive. I woke up and found myself in a hospital room. I could see those plain walls and white ceiling above me. I lay on the bed, a needle in my vein. I still felt squeamish, my head hurt like a bitch but I could breathe, I was alive.
I didn’t know who had dragged me out of the trap and brought me to hospital. Doctors didn’t talk too much. I didn’t asked questions either. I received the antidote by intravenous infusion - it removed the poison from my system and restored nerve functions. Gradually I recovered from my wounds. My body struggled to stay alive but needless to say that I wanted to curl up and die at the thought of what I had done. My former life was ruined, my future was obscured. I realized fully that I was the main suspect in that case.
I remember the day I first met that gloomy detective who investigated my story.
He didn’t ask a lot of questions just letting me speak for as long as I could. I told him of all the bloody stuff that had happened to me - the test, the tape, the nerve agent in my bloodstream and so on.
He was all attention.
When I finished he thanked me for the information and walked away. I hoped it was the end of story. I didn’t want him to return because I lied to him. There was a piece of information I hid from the detective.
When setting the bathroom trap, John looked in the two-way mirror and said “It's time to start our game." The camera was on so I could see him on the surveillance monitor. Yes I knew who “the Jigsaw Killer” was but I would rather die than tell the truth. That was my choice.
Then I learned that the detective worked with John along with Amanda.
Hoffman was his name.
