The poison case was reopened that morning.
Aveline agreed to visit the station. She confirmed that she had seen Dr. Elias Hawthorne at Sterling Villa when she was leaving in Damien's car, and asked them to check the dash camera footage.
The investigators didn't need more. Elias was taken in for further questioning. His denial didn't last long. They showed him photos of him giving hefty cash to the vendor for selling him lead without mentioning it in the log. The man finally broke when asked about his suspicious cash flow.
But Aveline didn't wait around to see it. She had scheduled meetings and a search for her first client.

The prison gates loomed ahead, their iron bars casting long shadows in the fading light. Guards checked her identification twice before escorting her through a series of locked doors, each one clanging shut behind her with finality.
