"Robert, you're calling me at this hour. Do you have some good news?"
"I met Duran's son, Aluski Haas, and his mother. They are in Los Angeles now, and I found them at the hospital."
"Hospital?"
"Yes, according to the records. They returned to Los Angeles on November 30th. In the early hours of December 2nd, Aluski was admitted to the hospital by his mother; his eyes had been injured by pepper spray."
"Tell me the name of the hospital!"
...
Dean hung up the phone.
He said goodbye to Holz and the others and drove to the hospital where Robert was.
Considering the pepper spray found on the victim, Howard, and the time of the attack, it was highly likely Aluski had a run-in with Howard before the assault, and it wasn't a pleasant encounter. It was even possible Aluski himself attacked Howard, and in the process, Howard had somehow managed to injure Aluski's eyes.
「Hospital.」
Guided enthusiastically by a young nurse, he arrived at Aluski's private ward.
