Detective Marcus Webb arrived at St. Matthew's Hospital within the hour, coordinating with Dr. Reyes to formally document the assault that had triggered Noah's premature delivery, while Bianca's earlier furious protests gave way to increasingly desperate justification.
"I need you to understand exactly what the security footage shows," Detective Webb told Ethan and Bianca, reviewing the recording on a tablet in the hospital's small consultation room. "Three days ago, at 6:47 p.m., Ms. Cole approached Ms. Bennett in the Whitfield Tower parking garage. The footage clearly shows her shoving Ms. Bennett with sufficient force to knock her against a parked vehicle, immediately after which Ms. Bennett appears to experience visible distress."
