After a few hours , Philippe wakes up at the hospital . With a more than slight headache  . Seated next to him in personal room was a familiar figure . 

Hello , He said to Philippe

Well , hello . He responded

I did not think you were a officer sir . Philippe said to the Stout man

I do not give an impression of an officer straight away ? The stout man Joked

Philippe smiled at him . With a hand over his head trying to figure where the pain was coming from

Alex came a bit closer to Philippe . 

You now son , he said . The impact should have killed you . It would have easily killed anyone . 

But look at you , not even a bump . 

Can I have a look , Alex said

Before Philippe could agree to Alex's request

Alex starts to investigate the back of Philippe's head . Making Philippe a bit uneasy

See, not even a bump .

And this makes me suspicious son . 

Philippe looks into the eyes of Alex

Alex quickly looks away

So , I'm also here to investigate the Crash that occurred at the opening yesterday 

Can you give me a  report on what happened . As far as you can remember

Not required to squeeze your brain Philippe , said Alex

Philippe begins to narrate the investigation in the Hospital room . 

Alex then takes down notes and asks him questions when required

Suddenly a nurse enters the room with coffee and hands it over to them 

You too sir , She says to Philippe

You can drink it too . You are perfectly fine she adds

The both men take a sip of their coffee

So Philippe , Alex continues . Did you have a look at who was inside the cockpit of the craft . i know it is too muck to ask . 

No , no sir . Philippe replies . I could not have a look inside . I did try , though the hovercraft came in too fast . it was impossible for me to have a peak inside

Understood , Alex says . As he completes his notes

Philippe . Says Alex . As he puts his note down and his tone gets more serious

There is something strange that has occurred .

What is the occurrence , Philippe asks 

We retrieved the black box of the craft.  And as you can see , Philippe with the black box comes a serial number and the makers information also 

Yes , I have read about the black box . 

So , Alex continues 

A couple of weeks ago . around 50 fleets were stolen . A little distance away from the District . 

And the serial number of the Black box matches with one of the serial number of the fleet that was stolen . 

And co-incidentally , I'm investigating both the fleet stolen matter and this one . 

What you are implying Mr. Alex is that the person who stole the fleets crashed into the building as well

That's exactly what I'm saying .

And what makes it strange Sir , Philippe asks

There was a person at the office yesterday . An Atticus 

He was the one I'm investigating with the stolen fleets . 

He could be the one who stole it sir , Philippe sits firmly 

No , not at all . Alex replies

He is the engineer who reported the theft .

Then why are you investigating sir . Asks Philippe

There is a police officer who was his friend . A Chris , Alex says . He succumbed to his death at the scene 

A Chris , the name sounds familiar . And a police office too . Philippe thinks out loudly

Alex choosing to completely ignore that that information , continues to talk  

So the investigation has completely taken a turn . It has turned into a murder investigation . 

Are you close to finding out who the murderer is . and he must be involved with the theft and the crash as well

Bingo , Alex says to Philippe

This is where it gets really peculiar . Says Alex as his face lights up

This Atticus . he seems to be hiding something 

Some very valuable information . And we cannot take him into custody and investigate him thoroughly . A warrant simply will not be issued

Philippe excitedly raises a valid point . Could Atticus be the murders 

Atticus the murderer . The thief and the man who crashed into the location 

Well of course , Philippe replies 

He is a simple engineer , and how can he do all these things . Unless . 

Unless , The chief continues . He has help , and a lot of it 

Yes , that could be it . Philippe says

Take care , Philippe . Says Alex as he leaves Philippe to his room . 

And if you see something spooky . you let me know . Alex joked

Spooky , Philippe let out a laughter . 

Sure sir  , I will let you know .

Alex leaves the room
