Chapter 10
Thunder's POV
I was talking to Jules and the guys after shift when my cell started ringing. They all gave me a weird look when they heard my ringtone. I don't know why. It was a good song. I pulled out my cell. "Hey Morgan what's up?" The team looked up.
"Hey T-bird. You up for an interview?"
"Do you mean interrogation or actually being a little sensitive to the other person?" Sam looked at me like I was nuts. Spike, Wordy, and Ed were trying not to laugh. Greg and Jules were glaring at the laughers.
"It's an actually an interview, but we really think this is our guy, so you might get to use your talking skills." He said.
I grinned. "I'll be there in five." I said hanging up. I turned to my team. "Who wants to see a master interrogator in action?"
I sat across the table from a Mr. Gary Mills. If you wanted my personal opinion I would tell you he didn't like a serial killer. He honestly looked like a regular guy who was suffering a lot of pain. But that kind of pain makes you determined and dedicated. I've seen its effects when I joined the team after Lewis Young died. The guys and Jules channeled it all into their work. Mills probably poured it all into his mission to kill cops' kids.
"So Mr. Mills…" I started.
"You can call me Gary." He interrupted.
"Ok, Gary. Why don't you tell me a little about the circumstances around your daughter's death?"
He seemed a little cagey. "Are you an FBI agent?"
I glanced at the one way glass that made a "mirror" on the one wall. Pretty much asking everyone who was watching (All of the BAU team plus my team, they didn't want to miss a chance to see my interrogation skills) if this guy was for real.
"I've worked with the BAU." I replied vaguely hoping that would satisfy him.
"But you don't anymore? I came to talk to them not whoever you are. So maybe I should leave." He said getting to his feet.
He's trying to get out of it so we don't figure out it's him. I got to my feet too. I walked across the room and blocked the door. "I used to work for the BAU. I now work for SRU. That said I still like to help my friends in my spare time. They have requested that I take point on this interview. Now if you would please take a seat we can get on with this interview."
He looked like he was about to argue. But I just gave my scary sweet smile and he backed off. As he turned to sit I smiled for real. Thunder Reid 1 and Gary Mills 0.
"So Gary. Tell me about your daughter." I said pulling out the file that we had on her.
He noticed. "Why don't you tell me what you know and I'll fill in the blanks."
Hell no. You are not hijacking my interview. "Alright. According to this rap sheet we have several drug charges. About 8 months ago she pulled a gun and shot a cop forcing lethal action from a sniper."
That ticked him off. "You don't know a thing about her. She would never use a gun, let alone on a cop. She's been in trouble, but what kid hasn't? She did not deserve to be shot down in the street. And her murder was justified by the fact that the shooter was a cop. A SRU cop. Like you. I'm done talking. Those deaths are regrettable. My heart goes out to those families. I know how it feels to lose a child." With that he stood and walked out the door.
I waited a minute and walked out as well. They all were waiting for me. Spike broke the silence. "The Unsub just walked out the door. Didn't he?"
Morgan answered. "Oh yes he did."
I supplied what we all wanted to know. "How do we prove it?"
