Entry 4

Linh walked to the front door of MADO. The chief had notified her that the final pages of Mr. Evan’s autopsy had been finalized, and Linh had been studying what she had so far for days. So far, nothing was shocking except what Jose had told her the other day, but she had reached yet another dead end.

She pushed the door open and after sitting for a while, she found Annabeth. She was who Chief Clark told her to find when she arrived.

“Good Morning, Nurse Willis,” Linh said. She wanted to act professional. She was the officer in charge of the town’s most shocking case after all, and she didn’t want to come off as ametuer.

“Good Morning,” she said. There was a short pause. “Officer…”

“Officer Luong,” Linh said. She was a bit disappointed that she didn’t know her name, but she was pretty new to the town. “But please call me Linh.”

“Linh,” Annabeth repeated, nodding her head. “Well then call me Annabeth.”

“Alright Annabeth, I’m here on behalf of my precinct.” I started. “You see I’ve been assigned to the death of Mr. Evans. If I could I would like to look at the autopsy of Mr. Evans please.”

“Oh of course,” Annabeth said scrambling. It was clear that she wasn’t prepared, but Linh didn’t mind.“ If you could give me a second to review the details, I haven’t looked at it in a while.”

After a minute of Annabeth scanning the document and Linh observing the inside of the hospital room, Annabeth gasped.

“What is it?” Linh asked. She was excited that she could maybe and finally get some more answers about the case, but anxious for what was to come as well. Annabeth showed her. It was picture of Mr. Evans’ back. It was all torn up with scars, but they were not recent. Linh was trained enough as an officer to know that they had been healed years ago, and Annabeth confirmed her prediction.

“Scars on the back most likely occurred between 50 years and 60 years ago.”
