Tuesday

Day One

8:05 am

Crime Scene

Norman Jayden arrived at the crime scene to find Lieutenant Carter Blake and Sergeant Yuuki Chiba, to investigate the body, that was found.

Before he could get out of his black Chevrolet impala, his hand started to shake, until he pulled out a small blue vial, that contains triptocaine. Deciding to ignore it, he put it back in his pocket, and pull out his car key. As soon as he step outside his car, the rain begin to hit his head.

He walked closer to crime scene, until he was stop by a cop who wanted him to step back. Jayden decided to show his badge to prove that he's from Washington FBI. "Check. You may pass."

"I'm looking for Lieutenant Carter Blake and Sergeant Yuuki Chiba." Norman asked. "Are they around?"

"Lieutenant Blake's here." The cop replied. "Sergeant Chiba's, running later, this morning."

"Thanks."

Norman walked under the police tape as he walked to the crime scene. He pulled out his ARI glasses and glove, and started searching for clues.

"I'm looking for Lieutenant Carter Blake." He asked the nearest cop and he pointed to a guy, with a black coat, dark blue, button up shirt, and black tie. "Thanks."

He walked towards him, as he taken off his ARI glasses and glove. "Lieutenant Blake. I'm Agent Norman Jayden from the FBI. I went by your office, this morning. They told me you'd be here."

"Now, if your looking for rain, dead bodies, and highways, you've come to the right place." Blake said.

"May I ask where's Sergeant Yuuki Chiba?" Norman asked.

"She usually be here, by now, but I'll run through what we do around here." Blake replied, as they started walking.

Yuuki arrives at the crime scene, a few minutes later, after when Norman had arrived. Before she could even get out of her Fusion, she taken a deep breath, as she pulled out a small bottle of her anxiety pills. She stares at them, before she put it back in her purse, and she left it and her purse inside the car.

She walked closer to the cops, near the police tape, as she was looking at the news reporters and journalists, taking pictures and making news for the public.

"I'm sorry ma'am, this zone is section off." The cop told her, until she decided to show her badge.

"Sergeant Yuuki Chiba." She replied. "Blake told me to come by and help."

"Well, Good Morning, Sergeant." The cop pulled the tape up for her to go under. " Lieutenant's waiting for you." Yuuki went under the tape, as she noticed Blake talking to someone, she walked up to him, as Blake turn to face her. Before she could, even say anything, Blake decided to talk first.

"Yuuki, where have you been?" Blake hissed at her.

"I have to drive my nephew, Shaun to school and dropped off my daughter with my older brother." Yuuki explained, before she could even look around.

"Well, we been waiting around for you and the corner for fuck sakes!"

"Sorry." Yuuki didn't really mean it. She turned to face a man in his thirties, wearing an expensive suit and tie, pale skin, and probably the most pinkest lips, she ever seen.

"Yuuki, this is Agent Norman Jayden, from the FBI, they sent us."

"It's nice to meet you, Agent Jayden." Yuuki greeted, warmly, as she extended her right hand. Norman returns the gesture and shakes her soft hand.

"Please, call me, Norman, Yuuki."

Yuuki closes her brown eyes, as she flashes a smile in front of him.

"Ok, you two. We can talk while we walk, were quite busy here." Blake cuts in.

"I understand, but, I see you're quite busy." Norman asked. "Do you mind if I look around?"

"Be my guest." Blake replied. "Chiba, why don't you accompany Jayden around."

"Yes, sir." Yuuki replied. "I will."

"Remember, now we're on the same team." Blake said, before he walked away.

"So, we better find some clues to see what the killer left behind." Norman told her. When he was looking at her, somehow, she was blushing.

"Yuuki, are you OK?"

Yuuki snaps out of it, before looking at him in the eyes. "Yes, Norman. I'm sorry. I wasn't listening."

"Your ok." Norman said.

"Let's get back to the investigation."

Yuuki and Norman walked to the white tent, as Yuuki started to slow down her walk. Norman turn to face her, as she was still staring at it. "Yuuki, is there something wrong?" He asked. She felt her heartbeat, going fast, until Norman touched her left shoulder, to get her attention. "Yuuki?" She looked into his pale green eyes. "Are you alright? Are you sick or something?" He asked, until she started to talk.

"I'm fine, Norman. I'm fine." Yuuki walked ahead to the white tent, as Norman catch up with her. He pulled the shade back, to see a boy, in his rain clothes, and his face was covered in mud. Yuuki was still behind him, as he pulled out his black glasses and a black glove. The sergeant looked at him, puzzled, until he examined the body.

"ARI comment: The victim is lying in his back. No visible signs of violence." He uses his glove to find evidence, until he found hidden clues. The profiler turn to face Yuuki, she still had a puzzled looked on her face, until she started to smile.

"What is that? Why are you wearing sunglasses in the middle of heavy rainfall." She giggled.

He took of his glasses, decided to give them to her. Yuuki was examining them in her hands, as he talked. "This is Added Reality Interface or ARI for short. The usage of this technology enables crime scene analysis and clue examination through video memo recording." The profiler explained to her.

"Wow, it's sounds like an office on the go, right?" Yuuki asked, she was still amazed.

"That's right." Norman grabbed the glasses out her hands. "Would you like to see what ARI does?"

Yuuki nodded, as Norman pushes the glasses on her nose, and places them in front of her big brown eyes. The mother looked down at the body, as she noticed hidden evidence she didn't see with her own eyes. "Oh my God! I have never since anything like this." Yuuki said amazed. "This is so cool, Norman."

Yuuki looked at Norman with ARI, still on her face, as she smiled at him.

"Wow, she has the most beautiful smile I have ever seen." Norman thought to himself, when Yuuki gave him back ARI.

"Norman, do you need any help, before I leave you alone?" Yuuki asked.

"No, I'm alright." Norman replied, before Yuuki stands up back in her feet. "I'll be fine."

"Ok, if you say so." Yuuki started walking away, before she turned around to face him. "I'll be under the bridge, drinking coffee, if you need me." Yuuki wasn't looking, before she accidentally step one of her combat boots in a medium sized mud puddle. "And watch out for the mud puddles!"

Norman laughed at her, before he decided to investigate the crime scene.

"She seems to be a very nice woman, with a sweet personality….No, stay focus, Norman, get back to the investigation." He thought before examining the body.

Ten Minutes Later

Yuuki was under the highway drinking coffee with a few cops, who happened to start a conversation about her and her daughter, until Blake showed up.

"Yuuki." Blake called for her, as he was getting himself a cup.

Yuuki rolled her eyes, before he could even notice. "Yes, Blake?"

"Do you like him?" He asked, until Yuuki looked at him, wide-eyed, and she immediately spit out her hot coffee.

"Excuse me?"

"Do you like Jayden?" He asked, once more.

She looked around for him, until she noticed him. The profiler was climbing up the muddy hill, that leads up to the highway. "No, Blake. I don't." Yuuki sighed.

"How are you and Caitlin?" He asked. Yuuki looked at him, surprised, before she could say anything. Did he forget her own daughter's name, after she had her for a year with her deceased husband, Ryan.

"It's Kanon, Blake." Yuuki corrected him.

"Oh, my mistake." Blake replied. "So how are you and her?"

"We're doing fine." Yuuki said. "She's having a hard, trying to walk, but she prefers crawling."

"Do you need anything or do you want some help, with her?" Blake asked her, when he walked closer to her. Somehow, she didn't like him, ever since she and her husband join the police department, six years ago.

"No, Blake." Yuuki replied. "My brother and I are teaching her, so it won't be a hassle."

"Well, ok." Blake said. "I'm willing to help, even though he's not here with you." He finished his cup of coffee. "I'm heading back to the office. Are you staying?"

Yuuki was thinking about it for a second, until she noticed Norman climbing down, the hill, before he slip and fall. She was somehow worried about him. "No, I'm staying. Besides, I needed the fresh, rainy air." Yuuki thought of an excuse to see Norman for a little while, before heading back to her house.

"Whatever, you say. See you around five." Blake said, before he left Yuuki alone, in the freezing rain, under the highway.

Norman walked up to her, as he was covered in mud. Yuuki cracked a smile at him. "I told you to be careful, Norman, but look what happened."

Norman looked at Yuuki's smile, before he examined his mud covered suit. "Yeah, it seems that I didn't listen to you."

"Did you find anything with your fancy glasses?" Yuuki asked, with a small joke.

"Why, yes. I have." Norman replied before he can explain. "The victim's name is Jeremy Bowles, he was declared missing, over five days ago."

"I'm impressed, Mr. Profier." Yuuki said.

"Thank you, Sergeant Yuuki." Norman replied. "It's that coffee?"

"Why, yes, it is." Yuuki replied. "It's not the best, than what can I make at home. Want some?"

Yuuki handed him, her half empty cup of coffee. He drinked it, as Yuuki was looking at him with a smile. He finished the cup, while looking, at her. "Yuuki, you have such a loving smile." Norman complemented her.

"Thank you, Norman." Yuuki replied, before he could say anything, but she realized that he was going to say something else, but she interrupted him. She apologized to him, before he talk, once more.

"I over heard that you have a daughter. Is that truth?" Norman asked.

"Yes, I do. She's thirteen months, everyone in the police station loves her." Yuuki said.

"I bet she looks like you." Norman said.

"Why, yes she does. Everybody says that and you haven't even seen or met her yet." Yuuki said.

The sergeant looked up at the rain, as it started to rain hard on her chocolate brown hair. "I'm heading back home." Yuuki said. "I will be back in the office, around five. Are you staying?"

"No, I think I've seen enough." Norman said. "I'll be in the office around seven forty-five."

Norman and Yuuki walked together, as they left the crime scene. Yuuki looked at him at the corner, at her eyes. When the sergeant, enters her car, which was parked on the other side of Norman's. He waved to her, before she started up her black Fusion.

"Somehow, that Norman guy seems very sweet….but there's something off about him."
