But Weber just shook his head blankly. "Never seen him before in my life."
Cynthia swallowed her disappointment. It wasn't a dead end. She quickly texted the precinct's sketch artist to head to the hospital.
She also ordered a massive digital lineup compiled from their existing suspect pool to see if he could pinpoint a match.
They were going to nail this guy.
Back in the precinct's conference room, Cynthia gave the group a heavily sanitized version of her hospital visit.
She deliberately omitted the crucial detail about Weber seeing the killer's face.
Her captain had advised her to play it close to the chest. Weber's condition was incredibly unstable, and putting a target on his back by leaking his eyewitness status was a bad idea.
"Given these new developments, we need everything you have on Vivienne," Cynthia stated firmly.
The reactions in the room were a mix of horror and cold realization.
Emilia's lips pressed into a thin, furious line while Theodore comfortingly wrapped his hand around hers. Tyler looked like he was going to vomit.
But the most terrified person in the room was the caregiver. She was visibly trembling.
This was entirely new information to her.
She had suspected Vivienne might try to hurt her, but there was always that lingering hope that she was just being paranoid.
The audio she had secretly recorded only detailed the plan to cause a miscarriage, not a full-blown assassination.
She had genuinely believed Vivienne was too much of a coward to actually cross the line into murder.
But hearing about a dead paparazzi crew shattered that delusion instantly.
Vivienne was an absolute, unhinged psycho!
She really was going to have her slaughtered!
As the woman shook like a leaf, Emilia turned to face her.
Staring at the petrified caregiver with bloodshot eyes, Emilia spoke in a raw, gravelly whisper. "You'll get every cent and every ounce of protection we promised. Now hand over the damn evidence."
That was all the motivation the woman needed.
The caregiver scrambled out of her chair in a panic.
With violently trembling hands, she dug the audio recorder out of her pocket and practically shoved it into Cynthia's hands.
