32 Suspect

"What happened here Sir?" asked the doctor.

"She was shot, please tend to her immediately. She already lost too much blood," Alexander said while placing Sabrina on the wheeled stretcher.

"Don't worry Sir, we'll take care of her," the doctor said then started to push the stretcher along with the nurses with him. They immediately entered the operating room.

"Sir what happened?" Grey rushed to Alexander. He was worried earlier by his boss' sudden call about preparing an OR.

Alexander who was filled with anger and worry, suddenly punched the wall hard. He didn't mind the pain. Right now he was really angry.

"The background check I told you to do, submit them to me in 1 hour," he said, looking at Grey.

"But Sir.." Grey wanted to complain. How the hell does he expect him to finish it in one hour!?

"Do you still want your job?"Alexander glared at him.

Grey's throat tightened, "N-no Sir! I'll get it done immediately!" he said the ran away from him to accomplish his task.

Alexander brought out his phone and dialed a number, "Is this Atascadero State Hospital?" his tone was dark.

Meanwhile, at the shooting location.

"What the hell happened there!? Where is the props director!?" shouted Director Walker.

"I'm r-right here d-director," the props director raised his hand, trembling. Suddenly, the director rushed to him and grabbed him on the collar.

"Explain to me why the heck a real gun was present during the shoot!" he shouted at the man's face.

"I did n-not do it! I s-swear! I doubled checked everything before they were used, I definitely gave Jessica a fake gun!" the props director defended himself.

"Are you accusing me of swapping the fake gun to a real one?" Jessica raised her brows on the man.

"After I checked it, you're the only person who I gave the gun to!"

Jessica walked towards the man and slapped him hard on the face, "How dare you accuse me! I am innocent!" she shouted at the man.

"Enough! I'll have this investigated, everybody here is a suspect. Nobody leaves town until this case is closed! Shooting will be postponed for now," the director said then turned around to leave.

Everybody on set looked at Jessica suspiciously. Could it really be her?

"I did not do it!" she shouted at them, then left the set crying. Why would they think that I did it!

In the hospital.

After 1 and a half hour of waiting, the doctor finally came out of the OR room.

"How is she?" Alexander stood up and walked towards the doctor.

"She's in a stable condition now and should be able to wake up after 3 to 4 hours. She lost blood that's why she fainted earlier. Also, the bullet was removed successfully from her shoulder. The bullet didn't hit any vital parts so she should be fine, except that she can't move her shoulder for a span of 3 weeks. She'll have to let the wound heal first before she move in around, or the wound will keep on opening up because it's located near the joint," the doctor reported.

Alexander sighed in relief upon hearing what the doctor said. He was really worried earlier especially when Sabrina cried due to pain inside the car. "Thank you," he thanked the doctor.

"Sir here's the report you were asking for," Grey handed a folder Alexander.

"Good, now I want you to go to the set of Sabrina's movie. Get me Jessica's make up artist. Also, after 3 hours, I want you to bring me Sabrina's co-artists and director," he instructed Grey.

"Yes Sir," Grey immediately left.

Alexander opened the folder Grey handed him and studied its contents.

"Just as I expected," his gaze darkened. He immediately went to the hospital room where Sabrina was moved. She was lying on the bed, her lips were pale in color.

He walked closer to her and stroked her hair, "I'm glad nothing bad happened to you," he said in a soft voice. He sat beside Sabrina and rested his head on her bed. He wanted to take a nap first, he will need energy for later.

Two and a half hours passed when Alexander suddenly felt some movement. He immediately lifted his head and checked Sabrina.

"Alex?" she asked in her weak voice.

Alexander clasped her hands, "How are you feeling?" he asked her, stroking her hair.

"My body hurts," she complained.

"Don't move to much, I'll ask the nurses for more pain killers," he said then stood up, but Sabrina grabbed him by the wrist.

"Stay here, don't leave me alone," she said and he sat back down.

Alexander held her face and rubbed in using his thumb, "I won't leave, sleep some more. I need you awake later," he said and Sabrina did as told. She close her eyes and dozed off again.

He's going to expose the culprit's identity later, he needed her awake.

Then a soft knock was heard from the room, the door opened and there was Grey, "Sir I have gathered all of them. They're at the hospital cafe, what do we do next?" he informed his boss.

"Look up a suicide case for me, I need it within 30 minutes," Alexander said then handed a paper to Grey with a name on it. Grey immediately grabbed the paper and left the room.

The reason why Alex was so fond of this assistant of his, is because he was really skilled. He always does his job perfectly and effectively.

After making sure that Sabrina was sleeping soundly, Alexander went down stairs to the hospital cafeteria to greet the guests he invited for his mini show.

"Mr. Manager! How is Sabrina?" Jessica stood up and approached Alexander.

"She's stable," he answered and Jessica sighed in relief. She had a heavy heart all day, she thought that she had killed Sabrina accidentally today. She can never live with that thought.

"Can we see her?" Kevin stood up and asked Alexander.

"Later, I will let you guys see her, but for now he have to talk," Alexander sat down in front of his three guests.

"I have my team investigating about this matter now," the director spoke.

"Oh no need, please, I already know who's behind this," Alexander smiled at the three of them, "And I'm with one of them right now," he said, showing his sinister smile.

"What do you mean Mr. Manager? Don't tell me you're accusing me?" Jessica stood uo and slammed her hands on the table, "I'm already saying this, I did not plot this!" she said.

Alexander looked at her, "Easy, I haven't even said anything yet and you're already reacting," he said and smiled at her meaningfully.

"One in the three of you is the suspect for this incident. Well not only this," he held his hands together and placed it on the table, "Recently, at the press conference of your movie, there was an attempt to kill Sabrina by tampering with her car brakes, and also just a few days ago, a hired killer barged into Sabrina's hotel room to kill her but he mistakenly took her manager as Sabrina and she was the one who was beaten almost to death," Alexander enumarated.

The three people in front of him all gasped in shock, "What kind of a man would do that! That person is completely insane!" Jessica blurted.

"How dare he do that to Sabrina!" Director Walker slammed his hands on the table.

"Any thoughts Mr. Kevin?" Alexander suddenly said, looking at him with deep meaning.

"I did it," Kevin said.

Jessica and the director immediately gasped in shock.

"What the hell are you saying Kevin!?" Jessica shouted. People at the hospital were already looking at them.

"She deserved it okay!?" he rebutted.

"Nobody deserves that Kevin! Nobody! I was almost framed up because of what you did!" Jessica shouted at him angrily.

"I have a reason Jessica," he said in gritted teeth.

"Save your explanations later, let's all go meet Sabrina," Alexander stood up and led the way.

Kevin, wanting to escape, turned around and ran away but he was immediately stopped by Brandon, the bodyguard.

"Thinking of running? I don't think so," Alexander gave him a sinister smile.

Today, another person is about to be destroyed from his hands. He was going to make sure that this person will suffer all his life!
