Kapitel 130: Invites a Colleague

Rain and Matt went out as she started working on the case she was on. They headed to the hospital to meet with the victim of a brutal gang attack. The elderly man had been stabbed after trying to defend his store from being robbed. 

"Do you think he'll be able to talk? I heard he's in pretty bad shape," Matt asked her.

"We'll find out soon enough," Rain replied with a sigh.

They entered the hospital room where the elderly man lay, connected to various medical devices. His face was pale, and he looked exhausted but aware.

"Mr. Martinez," Rain politely addressed, "we're here to take your statement about the attack. We need to get your side of the story so we can bring the perpetrators to justice."

Mr. Martinez's eyes suddenly flickered with fear. He swallowed hard and looked away. "I—I don't know if I can do this," he said weakly. "I'm scared for my family. One of those men… their family is very powerful. They've already threatened me."
