here you go on with the investigation with a dash of fuzzies thrown in for good measure xx the next few chapter will be the same time but three different interviews xx J/S, B/T, M/D
Jack and Sue exited the bullpen before everyone else and were in the car on their way to interview George Wilson who Lucy had discovered had not only found the body of James Henderson, but also worked in the hospital as a porter. Jack drove with Sue in the passenger side and Levi curled up on the back seat in his favourite spot Jack, Sue had her hand resting on Jack's knee, now they were out of the bullpen they were taking full advantage of their relationship, enjoying glances, touches and even the odd kiss to the hand. After a short while Jack wanting to get's Sue's attention, as she was busy looking over the photo's and re-reading the crime scene reports for the tenth time trying to find a link, tapped her arm so that he could talk to her
"So babes any joy?"
"Nothing, I cannot see anything or haven't read anything that links these 3 murders, the times are different, the places where the stabbings occurred are different, the way he killed them, I mean why did he not give the fatal stab to Melanie straight out, with James and Sharon he killed them outright, one stab to the heart for James killed him, the first stab to Sharon killed her but with Melanie he cut her twice, let her bleed for a while and then stabbed her, could it be that Melanie is the key, the others were killed as a warning to her"
"A warning! What kind of warning"
"I don't know she was a lawyer right?" Jack nodded, and she continued "Then maybe she was on the opposing side and he was sent to prison, or lost everything in a divorce and this was his revenge"
"Maybe, but what about the other two victims, they are not lawyers."
"Thanks for stating the obvious, honey, I wouldn't have figured that out otherwise" she said with a teasing grin and wink "maybe Melanie knew the other victims, and he wanted her to suffer like he had"
"Maybe, perhaps Bobby and Tara or Lucy will find something useful, oh and Honey"
"Yes"
"I do believe this case means our date tonight is postponed, we can't really snuggle up on the bureau sofa with a bottle of wine and a Chinese"
"Not to mention the chick-flick"
"No way would we have been watching a chick-flick anyway, I can only take Pretty Woman and Notting Hill so many times and we have certainly passed that number"
"Oh admit it you love Pretty woman"
"Never, I can't admit that I'm a man"
Sue just laughed at the look on his face as he tried to convince her that he wasn't a chick-flick fan, even though deep down, way deep down, he had enjoyed both movies the first time but after five times of watching each his enjoyment was wearing thin. He pulled into the hospital and Sue noticed the look on his face as he did
"Jack, Honey what's wrong you look, don't take this the wrong way, awful"
"Um I don't know I've just got this feeling I've been here before and whatever the reason was it isn't good" Jack said, his face white and his body shivered
"Hey, everything's Ok, I'm right here with you should you remember what, if you need to get out for a break, we can always leave and go back" she said as she took his hand and kissed his cheek trying to reassure him
"Thanks honey, it's probably nothing, maybe I've seen it on the news or in the papers, you ready to go find some answers" he said with his own kiss to her cheek
She nodded and they made their way out of the car towards the front of the hospital. As they walked through the big glass doors the smell of bleach and medication hit them like a punch
"Oh I hate that hospital smell", Sue said causing Jack to give a little giggle before signing me to. They walked up to the main desk and introduced themselves as Jack flashed his badge. The tall, blonde forty year old woman at the desk, who had obviously taken a shine to Jack, explained where they would find George Wilson and the physio department. After a walk down a long corridor and a lift to the third floor they came across a short, yet very muscular man in his late forties delivering clean bedding to the nurse's closet
"Mr Wilson" Jack asked
"Yes, who wants to know?"
"Agent Hudson, FBI, I would like to ask you a few questions about your colleague James Henderson, I believe you were the one who came across his body in the park, what can you tell me about what happened?"
"Well Mr Hudson, I was jogging in the park, I had just finished my shift and as I live in the centre of the city there are not many places to get a good run, so I use the park to get a good workout, I had just turned in the path to head back up the other side, when I saw a shoe sticking out from behind the bush, so I went to look and that's when I saw James, his shirt covered in blood, I knew in an instant he was dead, his skin was grey and his eyes were just fixed at the sky, after I threw up a little at the shock of finding him, I called Metro PD, they took my statement and agreed I could go"
"When was the last time you saw James"
"Two weeks ago at my wedding, I only started back to work after our honeymoon the morning I found him, I worked my shift and headed straight here"
"Are you sure you didn't stop anywhere or do anything before or after work, before your run?"
"If, you are asking me if I killed James, No I didn't, my wife dropped me off a 5:55am, I started work and 6am, finished at 1pm, got dressed and left work at 1:15pm, where I found James ten minutes later"
"Can anyone verify that story?"
"My wife and Dan Kettles, he and I were transporting patients back and forth from casualty to x-ray all morning, the only time we were apart was when we used the bathroom"
"Do you know if James was working that day?"
"No I am not his personal secretary, and to be honest if you are working in casualty people and faces blend together, I could have seen my wife or mother and not noticed"
"Do you know of anyone who would want to kill James?"
"No, as far as I know James didn't have any enemies, but we weren't really buddies outside work, sure I talked to him during the day if I saw him and we went out together on the occasional staff do but apart from that we never interacted, try asking Larry Hanson in physio, he was one of James' best friends if anyone had a grudge against him he would know"
"Thank you Mr Wilson for your co-operation, until we can eliminate you from our investigation please do not leave the country, or if you have to go out of town we will need details where we can contact you"
George just nodded and went back to his work, Jack and Sue headed back down the corridor where they found Dan Kettles who verified that he was working in casualty with George on the day of the murder and had patient logs in his desk to prove it. They got back in the lift, and headed towards the sixth floor of the hospital where the physio department was located, they were greeted by a male, tall and slim, in his late twenties
"Good afternoon, Sir, Madame"
"Good afternoon, I'm Jack Hudson, this is my partner Sue Thomas, I'm investigating the death of James Henderson"
"Oh yes, hello I'm Steven Pollock, I suppose you want to speak to Larry Hanson"
"Yes, why do you ask that?"
"Because he handles James' schedule, if anything was happening in James' life he would know about it and he's James' best mate, has been since pre-school, follow me he is in his office"
The three of them walked towards the end of the room and into a medium sized room, a man in his early thirties was sat at the desk, after introductions were made Jack began
"Mr Hanson, Tell me about James?"
"What can I say, he was my best mate, we were in pre-school together, lived on the same street, went to the same college, we even decided to follow the same careers and got the job at this hospital two days apart, we rarely spend anytime apart, we go to ball games, see movies, though lately he had seemed distracted"
"Distracted how?"
"I don't know, we weren't hanging out as much, I thought maybe he had a new girlfriend and was taking the relationship slow, but when I asked him he denied it, said there hadn't been anyone for a while not since Amanda"
"Amanda?"
"Amanda Willings, she and James were together about five years ago, but I know he hasn't seen or spoken to her since, I think she is married now and living in England"
"Had James' had any clients lately who said they wanted revenge on James' even if it was in a joking way"
"The only guy I can think of that said he would like to see James pay for his torture was Louis Pole, but they were laughing and joking about it two minutes later, James was saying he'd like to see him try with two busted knees"
"Do you know where we would find this Louis Pole?"
"Yes ITU, he was in a car accident, a bad one at that the day before James was killed, been in a coma since"
"Mr Hanson, have you ever seen James with this woman?" Sue asked as she showed a picture of Melanie hoping that this would give them a break and that she was the link
"No, she doesn't look familiar"
"Ok, did James have a diary or computer?"
"Both he had a diary for personal appointments and a computer for work information"
"Do you know where they are we need to take them for our investigation?"
"Yes, both are in his desk, follow me and I'll get them?"
As they left the room Jack glanced out of the window and noticed that the department faced the park
"Mr Hanson are the CCTV camera's on this side of the building, that point in the direction of the park"
"I think so but you'll have to ask Harry in security, his room is on the ground floor, that brown door as you come through the entrance, he would know and he would have the tapes"
Sue nodded, vaguely remembering seeing the door as they walked into the hospital. Once they had collected the evidence they need Jack and Sue made their way back to the ground floor where they found Harry who informed them that one of the cameras does face the park and after much persuasion on Jack's part gave them the tape. They headed back to the car with Sue saying
"Well I think that visit falls under the category 'not helping much with our case"
With a peck on the cheek Jack answered "As usual Hon, your right maybe Bobby and Tara are having more luck"
With that he pulled out his cell and called his best mate
"Hey Crash any luck at the law firm?"
"Hey Jack, not much mate Tara and I have to check out Andrew Hills alibi, we have two computers, a diary, case files and two sets of CCTV as evidence we'll be back in the bullpen in an hour once we've checked this alibi, anything interesting at the hospital"
"No nothing, well nothing that will help the case anyway we managed to get hold of a CCTV video a computer and James' diary but nothing that screams murder; let's hope that Lucy has found a link between the victims'. Well we'll see you back there."
With that Jack and Sue got back in the car and headed back towards the bull pen but not before a long passionate kiss
"What was that for? Not that I mind one bit?" Jack asked
"Nothing really, it's just whose know how long we are going to be stuck in the office I needed something to get me through the evening"
"You know what babe I have a sneaky feeling that you and I are going to be making plenty of food and coffee runs in the next few hours" He smiled with a wink
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, you Mr Hudson are brilliant"
They both laughed at the memory of her calling him brilliant during a previous case involving her friend Carol.
"And that's why you love me" he said with a quick peck and a sneaky grin as he drove off back to the office
please review x it does me good
