Detective Rose drove like a maniac, and Maxwell sat in the passenger seat, fearing for his life. "R-Rose, you have to slow down! You almost got into three accidents!" He was ignored; Rose was focused on the road.
She had the warrant to put Ellior behind bars while looking into his home. A disguised detective was sent to Alexandria's home to find the cameras. There was the possibility that Elliot was still watching Alexandria's home, but hoped he didn't suspect of being watched himself. Even if Elliot tried to sue her, it would take a while to process lawsuits. Rose would have time to take off the cameras before Elliot could find them.
The Detectives arrived at the street that led to Elliot's home, but they weren't traveling alone. A couple of police cruisers also followed behind them. Even though Elliot was one man, he wasn't someone to be underestimated. They finally arrived at the house and noticed that the gates were open.
Rose's blood ran cold. "There's no way he could have escaped!" She stepped onto the gas pedal, making the car speed through the open gates. Maxwell squealed loudly, thinking it was his last day on earth. The car swirled until it was neatly stationed. Rose parked the car, immediately got out, took her gun, and ran toward the house.
"Damn it, Rose! You almost made me piss myself! I thought I was going to wear my fourth pair of underwear!" He also got out of his car as the police patrols finally arrived.
When she reached the doors, Rose was about to kick them open when she noticed one was slightly open. Her eyes widened, and she kicked the doors. "Elliot Landon!" There was no response, so Maxwell and the other police officers arrived. "Search around the house, make sure to look through everything!" Everyone split up; some went outside while others walked around inside.
Detective Rose immediately ran to Elliot's study, where the cameras were. She called the Professor, but it was the same; there was no response. When arriving at the study, Rose noticed that his study was clean but that some things were missing. While watching him, she remembered another laptop that Elliot kept hidden. She believed the laptop contained all the information about his misdeeds and was vital for court use.
Maxwell eventually got to the study. "Rose, what are you-!?"
"He's gone."
"What?"
Rose kicked the desk as hard as she could, leaving a crack. "He's gone! He escaped! Elliot probably saw the officer in the camera! I thought we could fool him slightly, but he figured it out! I should have come here sooner!"
"Look, we can't beat ourselves up. If he just left, then there's the possibility that he hadn't gone far. We still have a chance to capture him. I will call for more backup and-"
"I want the backup to make stops in different parts of the city, to contact his banks and freeze any accounts and assets he has. Also, we need to check if he owns other properties and to immediately go there if he's hiding there."
Maxwell wanted to discuss the other possibility but debated whether it was a good idea since Rose was in a bad mood. "I don't want to mention this, but I have to. What would happen if Elliot left the state?"
Both were silent; Rose did think of the possibility of Elliot leaving the state, but she refused to allow him to do so. "I doubt he left the state. However, we can't ignore that as part of his plan. I want you to call the other Detectives to make calls to law enforcement about Elliot, and there should be stops to ensure that he is caught."
"Should we put it in the news about Elliot being a fugitive?"
Rose nodded. "We can't delay the process; he already made himself look guilty. We need to put pressure on him and make him feel paranoid. Elliot is intelligent; I won't deny that, but even a man like him can be pressured to make a mistake."
"You said that he was obsessed with his student. Do you think that he will try anything stupid? I mean, she would be extra weight if he is trying to escape."
"I can't risk it. He killed his wife and put cameras to spy on her. She is his trigger; an obsessed person will always do anything to grasp what they desire. I will call her, but make sure to call the news immediately and tell them that Elliot is an official suspect of his wife's murder."
