Dead End

In the afternoon, Marlon went back with Alex and Franco.  They find Erik still on the bed andreviewing the CCTV footage of the accident. 

"How are you Erik.  I just woke up and learned that you were hospitalized."  Franco studied Erik and he calmed down after seeing that he looked fine.

Erik asked Aryana for his laptop which Aryana handed to him.  He played the video in the laptop and showed it to his friends.

"You see how the taxi driver accelerated instead of slowing down?  It was his intent to hit the person who was crossing the street." Erik pointed at the screen.

"Where did you get this footage.  Is it from King of Aces?" Alex asked.

"Who could it be other than him."  Marlon said.

"What a scary man.  So he can also hack our hospital records and just pull out any information he wants?"  Alex's facial expression was clouded with worry.

"You can hire him to fix you security so it cannot be hacked."  Erik suggested.
