Cold Case Squad

by elsiecarson

A new case tests the Cold Case Squad and the relationship between Grace and Boyd which is rocky at the best of times. For once Grace doesn't know how to help him and he certainly doesn't know how to help himself. Boyd perhaps a little OOC or just maybe more mature.

1. Good Morning to You Too

Grace walks into the office and hears Boyd shouting. She instantly knows it's going to be a long day. She tries to sneak into her office without Boyd catching her without any success. She wishes Boyd could be calmer.

"Grace!" Boyd shouts shortly. Clearly the case needs her going over and Boyd has clearly had a rough morning already. He's obviously been busy already.

"Be right there! Just let me get settled!" Grace calls back. She walks into her office, hangs up her coat and puts her purse down on her desk. She sighs heavily before she walks next door to Boyd's office. "What on earth are you on about this early in the morning, Boyd? It's far too early to be this upset."

"Will you take a look at this for me? Something about that report doesn't sit right with me and what makes it worse is it's a police report and I think it's been purposely falsified. Just see if the psychological report jives with this independent report. I hate to think that a police officer I know has falsified a document, but I need to know. There's court transcripts in there too." Boyd tells Grace.

"When do you want my analysis by?" Grace asks picking up all the files she needs.

"As soon as possible, Grace. It may be relevant to the case we're working on right now, so the more information we have the better off we'll be. The quicker the better on the analysis, Grace." Boyd gives his usual response to Grace's usual question.

"I'll see what I can do. Are you going to tell me what the case is about?" Grace asks as she leans against Boyd's desk.

"No, I don't want you to have any preconceived notions about the case. Just do the analysis and then we'll go over the details." Boyd says firmly.

"Alright, I'll get started on this analysis. Please tell me you put coffee on." Grace pleads for some good news. She needs coffee to do an analysis.

"Well, I didn't, but someone did. I've already had one cup this morning." Boyd tells Grace.

"Good." Grace leaves Boyd's office and goes to drop the files off in her office. After she drops off the files she goes off to get a cup of coffee.
