Chapter 3: The Best Friend
"Ok, for some reason they want you to get a search warrant before you enter the premises, so what?" Deakins asked, Goren and Eames, both of them staring at him in shock.
"But doesn't seem a little suspicious to you, Captain?" Eames asked, eyeing him.
"They must be hiding something," Goren suggested.
"And what will that be?" Deakins asked, raising an eyebrow at Goren, a look of doubt on his face.
"Something about the missing person, Olivia Johnson," Goren confirmed. Eames ears pricked up at the name. The name sounded familiar to her, too familiar.
"How do you get her name?"
"Someone filed a report of missing persons, but they think it was foul play."
"Who?"
"Her best friend, Amy Higgins," Goren answered.
"Find her and talk to her," Deakins ordered and left the two Detectives in deep thought.
They eventually found Amy Higgins, in an apartment in Queens. Just near the corner of Wall Street. Alex was still trying to figure out where she heard the name before, when they pulled up in front of Amy Higgins apartment.
"Hey, you all right, Alex?" Bobby asked her, in concerned.
"Yeah, I'm fine," she answered, quickly. "Never been better," she added, smiling at him. Goren just stared at her as she got out of the car.
"You knew her? Didn't you?" Goren asked, as he got out. Alex stopped in mid-motion.
"No," she answered, softly. She looked at Goren to see him staring at her with an 'I don't believe you look'. She sighed.
"Ok, I went to college with her for a while," Eames admitted. "I was in an ABBA fan club with her," she confessed, slightly blushing, having to admit one of her darkest obsessions in her past.
"I see," Goren said slowly.
"If you mention this to anyone I will literally come over to your apartment and physically hurt you," Eames threatened, with a small smile on her face.
"Is that a threat I hear?" Goren teased and grinned at Eames. Eames gave him a dark look and went to press the door bell but before she could get near the door flew open with a young blonde woman glaring at them.
"Hi, are you Amy Higgins?" Eames asked the blond woman. The woman glanced from Eames to Goren and snorted.
"If this is about the car, no –"
"You know an Olivia Johnson?" Eames cut her off. The woman looked surprise and bombarded by the name and shrugged. Goren stared at her with a doubtful look on his face.
"Do you?" he asked, in a mocking sort of tone.
"Maybe," she answered.
"You are her best friend right?" Eames asked.
"Yeah, and yes," she answered, rolling her eyes in annoyance.
"So Amy," Goren said, scrolling past her. "Why do you think Olivia was murdered?" he asked, spinning around to face her. Eames was next to Amy when she looked to the ground.
"Because Mark is married and he's an arrogant ass and he hates people who don't tell the truth," she answered, softly, half-sobbing.
"When was the last time you saw her?" Eames asked, softly.
"A couple of days ago, she was going out with Mark to go to dinner or something and she said she'll call me once she got home but never did, so that's why I think it is foul play," Amy answered, muttering angrily. "She's dead isn't she?" she sobbed and turned to Eames. She glanced at Goren.
"We're not sure yet," she replied, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Thank you," she said and went out the door. Goren was still staring at her, and he followed after Amy left the room.
"Looks like we have our winner," Goren muttered, getting in the car.
Goren and Eames went straight to Carver and asked for an arrest warrant. Carver agreed and got it straight away. They knocked on Mark Matthews's door hard and finally got an answer after a minute. Denise answered the door, looking angry at the sight of them.
"Go away," she said firmly, tried to close the door on them but Goren pushed it hard so the door flew open.
"Darling what's wrong?" Mark asked, and went to look and saw Goren and Eames pushing their way in. "I told you everything I know," he said annoyance.
"Not enough," Eames answered and pushed him into the wall. She cuffed him fast. "Mark Matthews you are under arrest for the murder of Olivia Johnson, you have the right to remain silent, anything you say can and will be used against you in the court of law, and you have the right to have attorney and if you can't afford one we will provide you one, do you understand these right?" she told him.
"Whatever," he answered, and was still trying to get away. Goren got a hold of him on the other side.
"Let him go!" Denise screamed at them. "Let him go, you bastards!" Denise attempted to get him off them but was pushed out of the way. They led him to their car and put him in the backseat and drove off. Leaving Denise Matthews in anger and followed them to One Police Plaza, Major Case Squad 11th floor.
