I Have Never Been to Minneapolis

Chapter 7 Girl on a Mission

They ended up getting back to the hotel and Greg nudged Morgan as she looked up at him right there. She couldn't believe that she just fell into his warm embrace and set her head on his shoulder. She just felt so safe and free like there was nothing wrong with the world. She doesn't want to let go of him.

She opened up the door and went outside with Greg going out right behind her. They were in the rain briefly and went inside the hotel and into the elevator and rode it up to their floor. They then walked over to their rooms and opened it up right there. They then entered without a sideways glance and Morgan found herself in her barren room all by herself. She felt so alone. She just wants to be by Greg's side and be in his arms just like in the back of the police car.

She decided to go and take a quick shower then put on her pajamas early as well put her hair up in a messy bun. She looked at herself in the mirror as she was just ready for a day of no working, no worries and of getting the Red Rose Killer out of her mind for a while. She then grabbed a blanket and left her hotel room and went into the hall.

She rapped on the door right next door and she heard scrambling on the other side. It then opened a second later and Greg stood there in new clothes right there as his other ones were wet. He cleaned up very nice as he stood there in front of her.

"Morgan." said Greg

"Want some company?" asked Morgan

"Sure." replied Greg as he opened the door a wider so she could walk in

Morgan entered the room and looked at it. It looked almost like her hotel room except everything was on the opposite wall and side. It was just a mirror looking. She saw things out of his suitcase and a bit of a mess. She just smiled as he was probably digging in it either yesterday or today.

"I didn't think you were going to come over." said Greg to her as he grabbed things on the floor and put it in his suitcase

"I didn't think so but I thought since it's storming you'd like some company." replied Morgan

"You read my mind." said Greg as he got up and threw socks at the suitcase and they landed softly right in he then grabbed a deck of cards "Want to play?"

"Sure you deal them." responded Morgan as she sat down on the ground

"Okay the game we're playing is BS." said Greg to her "You do know how to play it right?"

"Of course." Morgan remarked at him

"Okay but expect to get beaten I was a champion." scoffed Greg

"We'll see about that." replied Morgan

Greg ended up shuffling the deck a little bit then he separated the pile into 26 cards for each of them. They both grabbed their cards right there and looked at what they had right there. They then started on playing the game by going head to head.

Monday-The Next Day

Greg and Morgan entered the Minneapolis City Hall and into the crime lab which is where it's located. Morgan smiled at him as the day before she pummeled him in the game of BS all three times. They then played a game of War which Greg won. After that they decided to play a game of Hon Kong and Morgan won that game. They had a lot of fun playing cards.

But now today is a new day and they were going to be focused on the Red Rose Killer and getting this guy once and for all. They really need to get this guy off the streets and to stop killing. This person has been to two states already and they don't want this person to go to a third state. Morgan is really on edge and impatient at the same time. It's taken too long to get here and she doesn't want to wait any longer.

"Okay we got back from Braden." said Carina coming over to them

"Let me guess it's the same stuff as always." Morgan retorted

"Yeah." replied Carina

"Typical." muttered Morgan to herself

"What's gotten into you?" asked Greg to her

"If you haven't noticed Greg we have a manic serial killer out there and I want this guy." said Morgan a bit furious as she flung her arm out

"I've noticed but I'm not all hung up on it." said Greg

"Look this person still has some unfinished business and I want to end this." said Morgan

"As do I. But I'm not getting all hyped up on one killer." responded Greg

"Well I am." replied Morgan to him right there as she looked up at him "Now excuse me."

Morgan walked past him and bumped her shoulder at him and left the city hall right there with Greg turning around and looking at her astonished. He has never seen her like this so determined, feisty and out of control. It is so unlike her and out of her character to do something like that. He just doesn't understand why she wants this one killer so much and more so than other killers. It's like she has some vendetta against him or her. She is losing control and is going to spiral before she collapses.

He turned back around to see Brad, Nicholas, Seth, Gage, Juliet and Carina were looking at them. To them it kind of seems like some lovers' quarrel but the thing is he isn't with Morgan. He never was even if he does want to be with. But at this moment he doesn't with how she is lately today. This all just surfaced today because she was totally fine yesterday.

"Well . . ." started Juliet

"Don't say it." said Nicholas to her

"Say what I told you so. I told you so this was a bad idea to bring the Las Vegas CSI's out here to help us." responded Juliet as she looked at him

"At least I'm not someone who is constantly callous and snippy to other people around them." replied Nicholas

"Just cut it off you two." said Seth

"Well let's just say that Morgan is a girl on a mission." said Gage out of the blue

"Yeah." agreed Brad

"What do we do?" asked Carina looking to Seth

"Let's let her cool down maybe she will come to her senses." Seth suggested

Greg looked at them and knew that is normally a good idea but not this time. This time Morgan is more determined than ever. She's not going to stop until this guy is caught. She's now practically going rogue and it's just going to break her even more. He doesn't even know what to do at all. He feels like he can't help her. That she won't let him in as everything about her seems closed.

Greg left them there as he decided that he was going to go after Morgan right there. He ran on out and got into the parking lot as he saw Morgan go and grab a police motorcycle. He stopped right there completely astonished as she was going to on it. But it wasn't just that she also changed her outfit completely.

She was now wearing spandex black pants with a black leather vest over a black tank top. Then she has on black leather boots going up to her knees and her hair was completely down. Then to complete the whole ensemble was pitch black sunglasses.

She kicked the bottom and unlatched the motorcycle and brought her feet up. She then started it up and looked back and saw Greg standing not too far behind. She then started up the gas even more. Then she went out of the city hall area and went out to personally find this killer.

"Morgan!" shouted Greg as he started to run after her but stopped once she got out of the city hall and stood there "Morgan!"

He just stood there not believing this at all. It's now up to him to get her back to normal and back to him. Well not literally just to back to helping him side by side and not doing it alone. Doing this completely rogue is not her and she can't just do it. She needs to work with him not against him. She also needs to have faith that the Minneapolis Police can get the guy.
