"You're sure?"
"Yes, of course I'm sure. How much plainer can you get than 'Frank kissed Kennedi in the lobby'?!"
"You two shouldn't be gossiping." Monica sat down at the laptop across from Cody and Alex.
"We're are not gossiping Monica! It's as plain as day that Frank and that woman have more history than either are going to tell us. I mean really - playing tonsil hockey in the lobby is a bit more than old friends." Alex huffed and leaned back in the chair. She had followed Frank down to find out why he was so pissed off at the truth. Instead she got an eyeful of Frank and Kennedi Johnson sucking tongues rather heatedly.
"And if I am? I doubt it's anyone's business but mine and hers. Our main focus is recovering the stolen jewels, not my private life." Frank walked in to hear the last part of Alex's rebuttal to Monica.
"Only if your private life doesn't interfere with our job Frank! I'm concerned about Johnson. There's something there that I can't put my finger on that she's hiding."
"Maybe it's the fact that she's guarding her words because you're giving off extremely hostile vibes. Keni is very intuitive about who's a potential ally and who's not. I asked her to come and help with this. The least you could do is give her a chance before you decide she's the enemy."
"But Frank -"
"End of discussion Alex. Drop it."
The look on her face showed that she could have spat nails - at Kennedi Johnson most likely. Frank ignored her and moved towards the phone. "Where is Jake?"
"I sent him back to the museum to check things out." Monica said. "I thought it might be a good idea." She got up and followed Frank as he went into the bedroom, then closed the door behind them. "What's going on Frank?"
"What do you mean Monica?"
"With this woman. She says she's an old friend, you helped her out by getting her straight. But there is more to it, I can feel it. Is she a threat to this case?"
"That's your job, isn't it Monica, to profile people? Tell me what you think of Kennedi Johnson." He sat down on the edge of the bed while Monica moved to the small desk a few feet away.
"She's arrogant, well educated, quick wit and mind. Very territorial, obviously. She and Alex are going to have a rough time getting along. I can see more conflicts in the future between them - especially if Alex views Kennedi as a threat. There is also something else she's guarding, that she's fighting for. Call me crazy, Frank, but I think your Kennedi Johnson has a deep dark secret that she doesn't want you to know."
Frank watched her quietly as she analyzed Keni. "You're right.
"So what is it that we don't know?"
"That.. is a mystery. I know she's hiding something from me.
