"Do we have an I.D.?" Agent Lisbon asked.
"Not yet. Rigsby and Van Pelt are talking to the guy that found them. Where's Jane?" Agent Cho said.
"I called him, he didn't answer is phone. I left a message for him to meet us here."
"I'm here." Jane said walking up behind her. "What we got?"
"Two females, no I.D. mid twenties to early thirties." Cho replied.
"Where were you Jane?" Lisbon asked.
"I wasn't feeling well last night so I slept as long as I could."
"Honest, Jane." Lisbon said not believing him.
"Honest."
"In all the years I've known you, I don't think I've ever seen you sick."
"My wife said the same thing until we were married. I hide it very well."
"Whatever. You get anything from the victims?"
"My guess is they were staying at the hotel over there. They look like they're in the p.j.'s. so maybe they were lured out. Judging by the mud caked on their feet the ground they walked on was soft and wet."
"Coroner puts the time of death around 3 in the morning." Cho said.
"That would explain the p.j.'s." Lisbon said.
"It probably would." Cho replied again.
"Cho, you and Jane go talk to the hotel. See if they know anything about our victims."
Cho looked at Jane, clearly he wasn't lying about not feeling well. His blonde hair was a mess like he just rolled out of bed and his clothes often neat were fairly sloppy. In fact Cho thought they were the same as he had on yesterday. Jane in general didn't look good. His face was drawn and pale and his eyes were sunken like he needed major rest. "You got it."
As Cho and Jane started to leave Van Pelt and Rigsby came back.
"What did you find out?" Lisbon asked.
"The man who found them is Arthur Thomas. He works security and spotted them on the way to his car. He claims he didn't see or hear anything unusual. But he did say that one of his co-workers that is on the shift after him, seemed off when he came into work this morning." Van Pelt said.
"Did he give a name?"
"Ryan Carter. But the supervisor stated that Ryan clocked in and then right back out saying he wasn't feeling well." Rigsby added.
"Must be going around." Cho mumbled to himself. Then he and Jane left for the hotel.
When they got to the hotel there was a group of 15-20 in the lobby to which some looked like they had been crying.
"Excuse me, what's going on?" Jane asked.
"We're part of a company called the Tracker agency. You police right?" A young woman said.
"Right." Cho responded.
"We hear two bodies were discover and some of us fear they could be Emma and Ali." She continued.
"What's you name?" Jane asked.
"Shannon Clark."
"Cho, I'm going to take Shannon here to id our victims. I'll be back." Shannon and Jane walked out behind the hotel. Jane started to cough hard deep coughs.
"You alright sir?" Shannon asked.
"Yeah. It's this way."
They got to where Lisbon, Van Pelt and Rigsby were getting ready to leave. "Lisbon, this is Shannon Clark. She perhaps worked with out two Jane Does and is here to id them." Shannon walked up to where the bodies were and then gasped putting her hands up to her face.
"Emma and Ali." Jane stated.
Shannon didn't say anything, she just nodded.
Lisbon walked over, "Ms. Clark can you tell us about them?"
"Sure." Shannon whispered.
"Rigsby, Van Pelt let's go to the hotel. I've a feeling we'll have many to talk to."
"Emma Lake age 26 and Alison "Ali" Charles age 29. The two had separate bedroom, but some of Ali's things were found in Emma's, so maybe Ali went over to Emma's room for a while." Cho said.
"Cho, you and I will take this conference room. Van Pelt and Rigsby, you take the one down the hall. We'll need to talk to everyone who works for the Tracker Agency and all staff on duty between 2 and 3 am."
Cho, Lisbon and Jane question Shannon first. "How did you hear about the bodies?" Cho asked.
"Our supervising manager Jack Harrison said that he saw police gathering outside. Since Emma and Ali were missing most of us assumed it had something to do with them."
"When did you know that they were missing?" Lisbon asked.
"When they didn't come down for the breakfast meeting. Sarah Logan had said that she over heard them talk about watching a movie late last night in Emma's room. We thought maybe they had overslept from staying up so late, when we couldn't reach them."
"Were Emma and Ali close?" Lisbon asked again.
"Yes, they were like sisters. Ali had been with the company a couple years longer. But she brought Emma down to L.A. to join the company."
"Childhood friend."
"Yes, from Cresant City. They pretty much grew up together. Yes, Ali was a few years older but they lived next door to each other until Ali moved to L.A."
"Any boyfriend troubles?" Jane asked.
"Ali was engaged to Jack Harrison. Emma was single. But Emma liked being single. She lived more in a party lifestyle, while Ali was more of a want to settle down type of girl. I personally saw nothing that would indicate in trouble in either one's love lives."
"Ah…" Jane said.
"Ah?" Lisbon asked looking at Jane.
"Ah-cho!" Jane sneezed loudly. "Sorry. How did Jack and Emma get along?"
"Fine as far as I could tell. Ali would never date anyone Emma didn't approve of."
Jane started to cough again as he got up to leave the room. In the hall he bumped into Van Pelt. "Sorry Grace." Jane said before coughing again.
"You okay Jane?" Van Pelt asked concerned.
"Fine. I'm fine. What did you and Rigsby find out?"
'We need to talk to a Jack Harrison."
"Ali's fiance."
"Yes."
"He's over there. There the man in the black leather jacket."
Van Pelt went and got him and then she and Jane joined Rigsby to question him.
"How long have you been seeing Ali Charles?" Rigsby asked.
"A couple of years off and on."
"How long have you been cheating on her with Emma?" Jane asked.
"Never. I'd never cheat on Ali and hurt her that way. Especially not with Emma."
Jane smiled. "We were told that you and Ali were engaged."
"Yes, that's right."
"Where is her ring? She wasn't wearing it when we found her. You did get her a ring didn't you?" Jane said.
"Yes."
"Where is it.? And other than Emma, who else knew that Ali had called off the wedding?"
Jack looked dejected. "No one. Ali and Emma acted in public like they still got along. But truth, when Ali found out about Emma and I she was deeply hurt. She and Emma got into a huge fight. Ali moved out of their apartment and was looking for a new job." Jack replied.
"Last night, Emma asked Ali to come to her room and talk. Try to patch things up between them. Not watch a movie right. The movie thing was just code." Jane said.
"Yes, that's correct. You've got to know and understand. I love…loved Ali. I got cold feet. I don't know. I just freaked out and I couldn't talk to Ali…"
"So you turned to Emma." Rigsby said.
"Yes."
"Jack, who do you think killed them?" Jane asked.
"I don't know. I know I didn't. I could never hurt either of them. I cared deeply for both."
