Lucas's POV

"What exactly do you mean by she's wanted for questioning?" Gio asked Matteo.

"Exactly that" Matteo responded. "The NYPD sent out a warrant to bring her in for questioning in relations to Matthew's murder"

"So they believe that she has something to do with his murder?" I asked him.

"Well yes, they are looking for persons who had prior dealings or any sort of relationship with the guy" Matteo replied "Somehow they found out that he had a girlfriend- Amy Stewart and..."

"Now she's also a suspect in the homicide case" I finished.

"Yes. They've also got her friend down by the station. The roommate" Matteo replied.

Matteo was one of our guys that is also apart of the police force. It's always good to have someone on the inside when involved in this line of business. And so far Matteo has been a great help to us throughout the years.

"Wait, when did all this happened?" Gio asked raising a hand.

"This morning. They went to the apartment to question Amy. She wasn't there but her friend was, and told the police that Amy went to spend the night at Matthew's house and she hasn't been back" Matteo responded. "Since she was also associated with the guy she was taken in for questioning too. But since Amy wasn't at the apartment they are now even more suspicious about her and her whereabouts. The theory is that she killed him and fled or she was kidnapped by his killers".

"Do they know about this Matthew guy being a drug dealer?" Gio asked.

"Yeah, he was listed as one that was supposed to be taken in along with the others and their leader" Matteo responded.

"Is that the guy I took care of?" I asked.

"That's the one. Jared Armstrong" Matteo nodded.

"Okay. And she's at your apartment" Gio said turning to me. "You know if she is traced and found there this could cause problems for you- for us".

"Trust me no one's going to track her there or anywhere" I said to them.

"Maybe so, but even though I know she is innocent to what happened, she's still wanted for questioning and the fact that she's been missing for hours now..." Matteo began but was cut off by Gio.

"She needs to turn herself in for questioning soon or she'll be a prime suspect with a manhunt out for her arrest" she said before turning to look at me.

"I'll have to bring her by the station myself after briefing her" I responded "There's no way she can talk to anyone without a briefing on what to say, especially now in her condition or she'd be sure to crack"

"I could try pull a few strings and see if the captain could give me this case so I could do the questioning but its not a sure thing that is why I figured I should come give you guys a warning" Matteo replied.

"Thanks but Lucas will take care of it" Gio replied.

"Yeah, I'll just..." I started saying but my phone started ringing "...give me a second... Hello, Greta?"

"Lucas, sir. I'm so sorry but I only left her for a second to get her something to eat and then when I get..." Greta spoke frantically over the phone.
