Chapter 32
Chapter 32: Interrogation
The next morning when Caleb texted his brother he was already quite far away. Even though the situation wasn’t risky anymore, given how there was no sign that could indicate that Ashton was present there at all.
Caleb’s brother was furious that he disregarded his orders completely. But he didn’t really care.? Christian was used to Caleb being rebellious and despite his constant worry he was glad, everytime, that his brother managed to be safe,? evading death even if he got way too sick.
After the scolding session Christian asked him, “What is the condition right now? Did any of them wake up yet”?
Christian shook his head, “I get why the wolf is still unconscious, but its weird that the man is unconscious as well”. Christian sighed.
“Did you guys ID any one of them”? Caleb asked his brother.
“Well, the wolf can’t be identified in his form. His fur color is too common to make a guess. All we know at that point that he is not any one of ours. I called a few people from the neighboring packs, even they couldn’t recognize his scent. Why was this wolf here in the first place”? Christian sighed.
“Wow, that’s suspicious”. Caleb muttered. “And that man”?
“We got some help from the police, he is someone who lives outside the town. His name is David Holman. Apparently he owns a major art gallery in Town Ceucus or something”.
“Why would he try to attack us”? Caleb questioned him. “Does he have any specific reason or something”?
.....
“As far as I could tell, No” Christian informed him. “Dad is back, by the way”, Christian mentioned out of the blue, after walking for a while, that made Caleb stop in his tracks abruptly. “You…. didn’t tell him I went out by myself, did you”? Caleb asked reluctantly.
“Don’t worry, he doesn’t know. Once again I covered up for you”. Christian rolled his eyes.
“Thanks Bro”! He gave a side hug to his brother due the enthusiasm he overcame with. “You indeed are my favorite brother”!
Suddenly there was a loud smack at Caleb’s head, “I am your ONLY brother”! He huffed “That is not a compliment”.
Before Caleb could come up with a snarky reply Christian’s phone vibrated. He took it out and read out loud the text he just got, “He is awake”.
“Who is”? Caleb asked.
“I am not sure…” Christian muttered. “Either way, we must interrogate. Want to join me”? He smirked.
“I am surprised you have to ask”. Caleb replied with a smirk. As much he hated the responsibility that came with being a leader, he loved these perks about it. If only he would had born with Alpha genes, he wouldn’t have had to hide his identity just to gain the respect of his pack.
At the hospital Christian asked one of the pack members who woke up, to which they confirmed it was the man who attacked the wolf. Caleb and Christian was about to enter the man’s room when they heard a deep voice, “Wait”.
Caleb turned around to find his Dad coming from the end of the corridor. When he was close enough, “Dad, I kn-” Caleb tried to justify why he should be a part of this but Mr. Wrisberg shot him down just by a gesture.
“I’ll join you two as well. It’s my pack, I should be hearing whatever he has to say first hand” Mr. Wrisberg barged into the room without waiting for any response from anyone.
Caleb rolled his eyes before following his father and his brother into the room. They saw the man sitting there with lost eyes. For a moment they even suspected the man to be disoriented. The moment he noticed the trio he looked up and asked, “What is happening”?
“That’s something you should tell us”! Christian retorted. He would have probably said something more but he was shut by their father’s quick glare.
“Who are you”? This time it was their father who asked him.
“David Holman” the man admitted honestly.
“Why are you attacking my wolves”? Mr. Wrisberg asked sternly.
“Your wolves”? The man raised one of his eyebrows. “Look man, I don’t harm animals”. He declared proudly.
“Are you f**king kidding me”? Caleb shouted.
“Language”! Mr Wrisberg shouted at Caleb before proceeding further with the interrogation. “What are you doing in our town”? He asked that man.
“What do you mean, I live here”! He argued.
“No you don’t, you live in Town Ceucus”. Mr Wrisberg announced.
“Wait, where am I”? David asked with widened eyes.
“You are at Crescent Point”. Mr Weisberg announced.
“WHAT”?! That man exclaimed out loud that made both the brothers flinch.
“That is correct”. Mr Wrisberg declared.
“I… I remember going home from the Gallery” that man whispered. He probably thought the others couldn’t hear him, but with their wolf ears the caught everything perfectly. “I remember taking the car… I… That’s all I remember”.
“What date was it”? Caleb asked him this time. “30th November” David Holman answered him.
“It’s 23rd December here”. Caleb informed him.
David’s eye widened further as he digested the fact that he lost almost a whole month. “Did I get in an accident or something”? He wondered. “Was I in coma”? He asked them.
“You were driving, do you remember crashing into something”? Christian asked David Holman with heavy loaded sarcasm.
“Honestly, I don’t even remember driving or starting my car. Last thing I remember was getting into my car” the man answered sincerely.
“Alright” Mr Wrisberg announced. “Let’s go for now” he ordered his sons and turned aroud to leave.
“Wait”! Davil called out and Mr. Wrisberg’s hand stopped abruptly before it touched the doorknob. “Can anyone tell me what is going on? Why am I in a hospital”?
“He is useless” Mr. Wrisberg announced in a very low voice that only his sons could hear and left the room. His sons followed the same suit.
“Alpha, are you sure he is not lying”?? Christian asked his father.
“Almost”. Mr. Wrisberg admitted. “You told me there were some marks on his neck. Describe them to me” He ordered.
“Let me think, he ha-” Caleb started but his brother interjected, “hold on, I took a pic”.
He took out his phone and showed him, “Do you recognize this”? He asked.
“I think so” Mr Wrisberg nodded lightly, “and if I am right, then we are in big trouble”. He declared.
