Chapter 116: The Artist IV
Sam’s Lab, Guys Hospital
"This is a homicide," Sam said, earning an intrigued look from Levi and she proceeded to explain her logic.
"I was able to time his exposure, although it’s impossible to determine the exact date. I can narrow it down to a two-week benchmark." the redhead stated, "His hair was bombarded with radioactive neutrons, the tips of his hair had a trace of lead. My estimate shows he’d been exposed to it in high amounts for the first time 5 months ago." Sam said as Levi scanned the paper again.
"He’d been exposed to it numerous times, all of them coinciding to the two-week benchmark with all his hospitalizations," she added, walking towards her table. She then picked up the victim’s medical records on it and handed it to the blond psychologist.
Sam looked at the slicked blond, grimly. She knew her reaction to this case was more than expected. She felt like Michael Scott was one of her own.
No, she felt like she was seeing herself in him. They shared the same experiences, he’d gone through the same things that she’d gone through. He too had been considered autistic when he was young, and he too felt alone in a crowd all his life. For a long time, she too felt that way, she had no one to relate too. Not on the same level as she was, until Levi.
But for a time, Michael Scott felt so alone that he felt the need to kill himself.
However, this time, right now, this wasn’t suicide.
Someone did this to him, and she won’t stop till she figures it out.
"This isn’t suicide, Levi," she said, knowing full well no one would have taken that long amount of time just to kill themselves. If he wanted to die, he would have done it once or maybe twice and succeeded. He was smart enough to do it, she reckoned. But in that long amount of time, approximately 5 months... it would have been torture. Constant joint and muscle pain, headaches, abdominal pains, and difficulties with memory or concentration.
"Someone did this to him," she said
clenching her jaw, "This might just be the most patient murderer I’ve seen," she stated in conviction.
