The Dark Side Of Fate Chapter 911
"And then, at some point, you either got dismissed or chose to leave, leaving your Alpha and the suspected murderer alone," Sebastien chimed in, directing his gaze towards me, hinting at the possibility of their involvement in the crime scene.
"Was there security present at your hall?" Josephine inquired, prompting me to think back to the party. I couldn't recall seeing any security personnel during the event. I looked at Charlotte, then Oliver and Marvin, and they all shrugged.
"Could it be that the security arrived late at night or after the party?" Noah asked, already knowing the likely answer but wanting me to confirm it.
"We stayed until the end since our class had gifts for us," I replied, and he nodded in understanding.
"So, Gamma Lebedev and Delta Sokolov, how did you allocate your resources that night?" Oliver pressed, and the men hesitated to answer.
"As we mentioned earlier, it was late at night, and we might have arrived late. We didn't really keep track of the exact time," the Delta explained, with Josephine nodding in acknowledgement.
"In other words, your team members were tardy in carrying out their duties? Regardless I am sure you would have known the party was over?" she questioned, and the men reluctantly agreed.
"It was a party, though, so I wonder why there was a need for heightened security and why you sent your men there," Josephine continued, her curiosity evident. Gamma Lebedev quickly interjected to respond.
"The royal family was present," the Gamma admitted, and Josephine's nod confirmed that she had gotten the answer she was looking for.
"Exactly, which is why your security should not have failed. Securing that place should have been a priority over checking the dock with Alpha Thompson. If the Alpha and Beta were left alone there, it implies that your presence was not required at the dock in the first place," Josephine deduced, and Noah concurred.
"I had the same thought, Jo. Their explanation doesn't add up, but regardless, it's not our concern. Our focus is on ensuring the safety of the Brightons and stabilising Grizlo after the terrible incident they experienced. We need to do this before Alpha Christian appoints a new Alpha to the position. While solving the Maguire case would be ideal, it's not our responsibility," Noah asserted, and Marvin agreed with his sentiment. I could see the officers relax a bit and what Noah had done was wise.
"Good luck with that one. We hope you solve the case quickly so people can stop wondering what happened," Oliver calmly conveyed, and the Gamma and Delta nodded in response.
"It was enjoyable chatting with you, and we hope you didn't find our questioning offensive?" I inquired, and they assured us that it wasn't offensive, although we couldn't be entirely sure if they truly felt that way.
After leaving them in the visiting room, Justin escorted them out.
As we were yet to head to our grandparent's house for the investigation, we decided to gather in Justin's office to exchange ideas and thoughts.
I couldn't help but wonder whether the Gamma and Delta were genuinely ineffective in their roles or if they were intentionally stalling the investigation to protect Mike. Regardless of the truth, we were determined to get to the bottom of the matter.
As we interrogated the Gamma and the Delta, I witnessed a fiery determination in my cousins' eyes, confirming why our parents had chosen us for this task. The Alberts displayed the same passion as their father, and Josephine matched their intensity. Charlotte was equally relentless, and Marvin and Oliver showcased their capabilities. We were a formidable team, and there was no doubt in my mind that together, we would unravel this mystery and find the truth.
While walking, my phone buzzed with an incoming text. I noticed it was from Sophia's mother's number and hastily opened it.
"Stop looking for me. I think they are planning something," the message read, prompting me to share it with everyone immediately.
Deep down, I knew they were scheming something, but Sophia would have called me instead of sending a text. It seemed like someone else wanted to halt the search or establish contact with me, raising concerns about Sophia's well-being. The fact that she no longer had a phone left me worried and questioning her safety.
