Chapter 526 Distraction and Entry
In the drone’s live video feed, Wyatt’s figure flashed by the screen.
“Go up a little,” Yunice directed.
Jordan nudged the drone higher, revealing Wyatt’s form scaling the side of the building.
“Move it farther,” Yunice added. “The noise draws attention.”
The moment anyone looked up, they’d see him.
Jordan adjusted course, piloting the drone away. “If we don’t want him recognized, he could cover his face or pretend to be an AC repairman.”
“That wouldn’t be cool,” Yunice said without looking away from the screen.
Jordan laughed. “Cool is a vibe. Even with a mask, he’d still be cool.”
Yunice ignored him. Her eyes were glued to the feed as Wyatt carefully descended from the balcony above and caught the edge of the examination room window. With quiet precision, he slid it open from the outside.
Perched on the windowsill in a half-crouch, Wyatt’s tall frame moved with lean control. He turned his body sideways to peek inside before entering–clearly someone was in the room.
Yunice’s eyes landed on his hand gripping the window frame.
Tall men usually had good-looking hands, and Wyatt’s were no exception–long fingers, visible veins, healthy pink nails.
Just then, a buzzing sound came from the drone feed.
Another drone was approaching the examination room.
Yunice stiffened. If that drone caught Wyatt on camera-
“Crash it!” she ordered.
Without hesitation, Jordan guided their drone into a collision course.
A violent midair impact.
Both drones spiraled downward.
Yunice bolted out to check. One drone had fallen, its blades busted. The other–Jordan’s–stabilized at the last moment and hovered back into the air.
The downed drone’s operator, game over, was furious, clutching a remote as he retrieved the damaged machine.
He looked up toward the rooftop. Yunice followed his gaze-
But Wyatt was gone.
Had he gone back up? Or had he already entered Elsie’s room?
“Hey! I’m calling the police!”
The man’s voice snapped Yunice back. He barked into the phone, “I just saw someone using a drone to spy on a sexual assault victim’s medical exam! You’d better send someone now!”
Then he hung up and muttered bitterly, “If I can’t get the scoop, no one will.”
Of course. Yunice sighed. Perfect timing.
She knew the cops guarding Elsie’s room would head in to investigate soon. She raced toward the hallway.
Jordan, reading the situation, piloted the drone straight through the open exam window.
Inside, Wyatt was indeed present. The drone circled him once, capturing the scene: both the doctor and a female officer were unconscious.
The drone flew to Wyatt’s side.
Wyatt walked to Elsie’s bed and reached out to draw back the curtain-
Outside the room, the two officers received the tip-off call.
They tensed, one hand on their guns, the other reaching for the door.
Suddenly, Yunice slammed into the doorframe, catching them both off guard.
“Yunice!” Owen’s voice roared.
His face twisted in rage. “What the hell are you doing here?”
He lunged, grabbing at her collar. “You think showing up all fake and concerned clears you of this? This is your fault too!”
Yunice shoved his hand away, snapping, “You think I came here to comfort her? I’m here to ask that cold-blooded witch why she framed Oscar! No one wants her rotting body–not even for free! Oscar would never touch her! This whole thing is her own pathetic performance!”
She spun back to the door, pounding on it with both fists.
“Elsie, open the damn door! I know you’re in there! Hiding won’t save you, you lying bitch! Framing Oscar? I’ll tear that filthy mouth off your face!”
The officers blinked–stunned. This composed-looking young woman had just launched into the most vicious tirade they’d ever heard.
They reached out to restrain her, asking Owen, “What’s going on?”
Owen held the door tight, panicking. “She’s with the bastard who hurt my sister! You cannot let her in–restrain her, now!”
Two officers versus one woman–no contest.
Except that Jordan suddenly threw himself into the mix.
“What are you doing?!” he yelled, yanking at their arms. “What crime has Mrs. Cooper committed that gives you the right to treat her like this?!”
Owen’s jaw dropped. “Jordan? You’re helping her too?!”
Outside, chaos erupted.
Inside the room, however, everything was silent.
