DETECTIVE Lewis took off the moment the paramedics reached the victim.
He did not stay to watch them work. He had already told them what they needed to know, and there was nothing else for him to do there. The image of the man bleeding on the ground tried to stay in his head, but he pushed it away and kept his mind on what mattered.
The suspect probably had not gotten far yet. Unless he had a vehicle waiting somewhere. Lewis doubted that though. He had seen no signs of one when he was running toward the abandoned apartment.
Lewis ran out of the building and onto the street. He caught a glimpse of the figure in the gray hoodie just as they turned the corner up ahead. They had a head start, but it was not a big one.
