"And the sensational rape of two girls, Maya Cole and Catherine Stanford: there are still no details of the case, the two victims are in a difficult situation in the hospital, the press does not see them and the authorities are in no hurry to exchange information. But we, in the information channel, will keep you informed.
With a carnivorous smile on my face, even a flight attendant who has been there for some time and is in a hurry to escape with an offer to drink more champagne.
Similarly, in fact, the press behaved in the same way when they went to the hospital to find out more about this "case". Stanford Internal Campaign Security took these dirty weasels for eggs: one step left, one-step right - castration.
But that doesn't make it any easier. I can still see the red mist in front of my eyes as I did a week ago when my father told me on the phone in a trembling voice what happened.
He thought it would be enough to lock me up for a week with "urgent" things in Sydney to refresh and calm me down. Another proof that for 26 years, my father still hasn't understood who his son Richard Stanford was.
The pilot mumbles monotonously in the microphone, has already learned the sentence of landing, and as if the heart starts beating faster and the adrenaline on the body accelerates, in response to his words.
Okay, there's not much left. A few more hours and I'm going home. I swear I'll go back to all the bastards who dared to touch Katie.
I swear to God, I swear to God.
An Osborn Street detective's smoky office is dark even during the day, as the omnipresent blinds, leather sofas, shelves, and a large dark wooden desk suggest at least one mafioso.
On the other hand, the confidentiality of suitcases and customers is guaranteed. That's why the office is flourishing, despite the high prices.
But money doesn't matter in this case. Especially for those who are the heirs of
one of the largest pharmaceutical companies in the Old World.
Lyell, my best friend, and director of a detective agency has been trying for hours to talk to his madman about sadness and anger.
- Nick, are you sure? No, are you really sure? This is not a joke. You will do your job and bypass the authorities. I can still understand why you need all the information on the attackers, but Maya Cole's medical opinion?
I'm nervous about loosening the tie and cutting some buttons in my shirt.
What do I think about that? And why would Lyell suddenly be the same Lyell who is willing to beat anyone who is just a stray dog on the street and convince me to think about it? Afraid I'll destroy your reputation? I need him for that. I want everything to be calm and peaceful.
As they say, you won't dig.
- Yes, I'm sure it is. And because I said what I needed, I did it. Read it.
Lyell fired me a little more, gave me the impression that he weighed everything from top to bottom, wrinkled even harder, but still took the right back from the table and started coughing:
- Mara Cone, 25, was admitted to St. Anthony's Hospital with a number of moderate injuries, including bruises and abrasions all over her body, two rib fractures, cracks in the leg bands, a closed brain injury, probably from a blow to a wooden surface. The victim was a virgin
- He stumbles on a half a word and looks at me closely. - Not if necessary, read it yourself. And look at the pictures, but I don't want to. Poor girl, what she had to endure.
I won't let it finish, but I take the file with my hands and go back to the place, running through the eyes of the text until I find the right way.
"The victim was a virgin, as evidenced by a large amount of blood and hymen molecules. Traces of semen were found in the genitals, but also on the body - hips, and lips. Under the victim's fingernails, skin epithelial and blood molecules were found, indicating immunity and confirming the rape. Maya Cole was shocked at St. Anthony's Hospital and fell asleep artificially. Sexual violence committed by a group of people was confirmed by a medical commission chaired by Gregory McKone.
Signature, seal.
Yes, they are not as detailed as the police.
- Is that all? Is that all? - I ask and I continue to look at your picture, which is attached to the case.
I'll tell you what.
