In fact, Lucas could have chosen not to catch Declan and let him fall to his death just now, as he ought to reap what he sowed.
But the words Declan said earlier made Lucas suspect that someone was instigating him. So Lucas caught him and allowed him to stay alive to interrogate him and find out more from him.
But the matter of Declan taking Charlotte hostage and trying to jump off the building with her had alarmed almost all the police systems in Orange County. Many reporters had also hurried over with their cameras and equipment to get the firsthand news scoop.
In such a situation, Lucas naturally couldn't interrogate Declan personally. He simply handed Declan over to the special police officers for them to investigate.
The chief special police officer nodded and instructed his subordinates to send Declan to the hospital. After Declan came to, they would bring him in for interrogation immediately.
