Fuck that shit. “And if I don’t?”
Chaos grabbed my shoulder. “Just cooperate. Joe’s on his way. It’ll be fine.”
After hesitating, I stepped away from the gurney and let them take her.
‘Which hospital are you taking her to?”
“Lennox Hill.”
Chapter Fifteen
Flame…
The police officers spoke with Masters and then questioned all of us separately, taking us one at a time into the bedroom. I couldn’t tell them anything new, only what I’d already told Masters. I still wasn’t buying it that Michelle took any kind of drugs, it just wasn’t her.
Joe arrived as the police were finishing up. “What the hell happened?”
“I wish I fuckin’ knew. I came upstairs with Wrath and this is what I found. Michelle was asleep or something in the bedroom.” Looking around the room I still couldn’t believe it. It looked like something out of a fuckin’ movie. I knew they were thinking the rock stars probably trashed the room and then tried to find a way to get out of it. But they’d be fuckin’ wrong. We might make a mess but we sure as hell weren’t destructive.
Nodding, Joe handed his card to the police. “If you have any other questions forthem, you can call me. I’m going to take Eric over to the hospital now if that’s okay?”
“Yes, sir. I’m sure someone will be in touch to follow up.”
No shit. I couldn’t believe this fucked up crap. We’d been gone over four months and we’re back one night and all hell breaks loose. It’s like we’d been freakin’ jinxed since we walked into this damned hotel.
Terry Masters pulled Joe over to the side and I wondered what he was saying. I wanted to get to the hospital. I didn’t want Michelle waking up and wondering what the hell happened.
“I’ll be in touch, good night,” Masters said as he left. Finally it was just us.
“What the hell did he say?”
“That he’ll have housekeeping come up and clean as soon as the police were done. He said they’d pull the video to see if they could identify the man you saw.”
“Good. Because he was there, Wrath saw him too.”
Wrath nodded. “I did. It was weird. The guy looked really surprised to see us.”
“What did he look like?”
“I don’t fuckin’ remember really, he was just ordinary. Nothing stood out.”
“Exactly. I’m thinking brown hair maybe? That’s about all I can remember.” It was weird, I wasn’t great with faces but usually I remembered something.
“Okay. Well hopefully they caught him on video. It will make things a lot easier.”
I had an uneasy feeling. “Joe, you believe me don’t you?”
“I do, but I don’t think they do.”
Fuck. “So what happens next?”
“They’ll investigate. We may have to pay for damages to the room if they can’t prove it wasn’t you or Michelle. But for now let’s get you over to the hospital.”
“I want to go too,” Cyn said.
“Me too,” Teresa added.
By this time Rage, Fury, Candy and Sweets showed up and we filled them in. Apparently my room was the only one trashed, and it made no fucking sense at all.It seemed more and more like it was only towards me or Michelle. But who would have it out for us?
