While waiting for the famous pediatric surgeon from Dartan to arrive, Cooper heard his phone ring again. It was a call from Bertilla.
He tried to suppress his anger and frustration as he answered the call. “What is it?”
“Mr. Sutton, this has nothing to do with the company,” Bertilla explained before Cooper blew his top. “The people investigating matters in Baykeep called me earlier.”
Cooper had gotten a few calls from those men as well, but he was too busy to answer, so they could only contact Bertilla instead.
At that, Cooper's fury diminished slightly. “Did they find anything?” he asked somberly.
“I can't really go into detail about it over the phone,” Bertilla said apologetically. “But I've emailed you the information.”
Cooper hung up and clicked on the email from Bertilla.
Phineus and Gerald were not from the same military division, but they were on good terms. When Cooper mentioned that he wanted to look into Gerald's case after the man was framed, Phineus made a few special calls.
As a result, the men Cooper rallied to look into Gerald's case, including the police officers in Baykeep, all had easy access to surveillance cameras in town.
For the past couple of months, those men had turned over every rock in the vicinity of Ninette's residential area before finally finding an eyewitness.
It was a woman who happened to live in the same building as Ninette. On the night of the incident, the woman was on a video call with her family and did not notice that Ninette was in the background.
When the men went through the surveillance footage and realized that the woman had been on a video call during the time of the incident, they reckoned she might have recorded something else. Hence, they tracked her down and inquired her about it.
Luckily, the woman had a habit of recording her video calls with her family. She retrieved the recording from that fateful evening, and sure enough, there was some suspicious activity going on in the background.
Those carrying out the investigation for Cooper saw Ninette get out of the car, followed by the driver, who proceeded to carry an unconscious Gerald out of the backseat before entering the building with Ninette.
From the looks of it, Ninette probably paid the driver to have him carry Gerald into her place. However, the driver unexpectedly got into an accident after leaving the residential area.
