Chapter 23: Faint dusting of red
Garfield blinked twice before comprehending the question, "Ah! Jenna, where is Alex and Blackjack?"
"Blackjack is sleeping in the storeroom, Alex left to visit his sick sister."
"True, I forgot his sister is still at the hospital, Captain, why are you asking about them?"
Arlen furrowed brows, relaxed a lot and he shook his head, "Nothing. Lead the way."
Ravi looked at the Captain, did he suspect that the scam might have been done by a member of this gambling center? It would make sense, after all, the only ones that know that Mrs Karen won ten thousand dollars were in this place.
Mr Garfield needed the reputation of a house that pays out cleanly to run this business well. He would not do something so stupid. He looked at the woman with piercings and the man with tattoos, it could be either of them.
Or maybe this Alex or Blackjack. Who stole the money?
"Officer West." Arlen's voice came and he looked up to see that Garfield and his Captain had walked a few steps forward. He coughed and naturally sped up to match their pace.
The gambling house was not large but there was surveillance footage covering everywhere leaving no blind spots. One of the monitors showed a room where a tall and huge man, Blackjack was sleeping, his body sprayed across a sofa.
