“You are free for now but I may call you any time soon.” Detective Hudson told Macy and left her room. Greyson followed him.
“Hudson…” Greyson said, “Are you using your heart or mind to make decisions?”
Hudson smiled. “None…”
“She’s supposed to be a prime suspect and you let her go. What if she escapes?”
“Grey, the world is full of obvious things which nobody by any chance ever observes.”
“What’s wrong with you, Hudson?”
“I need to talk to Freddie.”
“You—”
“I know what I’m doing, detective. Till I fill all gaps in this puzzle, I can’t jump to conclusions.”
Hudson went to Freddie’s office. Greyson followed gently.
“Tell me you have found something, detective.” Freddie said. His eyes were crinkled with frustration.
“I’m getting somewhere. I need something.” Hudson said.
“What?”
“I need to talk to Leo.”
“It can’t happen.”
“There are questions only he can answer.”
“He’s not coming back.”
“I need him.”
“Last time he showed up his face, my daughter ended up in a coma.”
“That’s why I need to talk to him.”
Freddie sighed. He gave Hudson an unrelenting stare. “Fine. He comes in, he talks to you, and he goes out.”
