Nick's POV
"Where is the family of Oliver Morris?" the third doctor finally announced, his voice carrying through the hallway like a blade cutting through the thick silence.
For a moment, nobody spoke.
Vicky stepped forward, her legs wobbling. "H-He doesn't have his family here," she said quickly, wiping her cheeks with shaky fingers. "They live very far, and no one has informed them yet. Y-You can tell us. We're basically his family here."
The doctor hesitated, glancing at the police officer standing beside us.
"She's right, Doc," the officer said firmly. "They're his second family here. And considering this shoot-out involves the same case Attorney Morris was handling for them, they deserve to know."
The doctor exhaled, the tension in his shoulders easing. "Well…" He adjusted his glasses. "Under these circumstances, I suppose I can make an exception."
He smiled before he continued. "Mr. Morris is now stable and out of danger."
