A/N – hehehe, we're getting close to the end! I'm looking forward to starting my new series – I've been planning it for a while, but we still need a bit more on this one – thanks for all your support and commitment as always – I love you guys!
Chapter 31:
The team gathered together in the bullpen to discuss what they were going to do next with the case.
"I only see one possible route now. We need to go over the Jefferson Surveillance, like Ivy Grenon suggested. Maybe we'll see something interesting, but other than that we have no leads. James Cakeman is in jail – tight alibi. The parents were in Cancun…" Myles quickly interrupted Jack,
"Not to mention, they definitely are not the types of people who would kill someone. They would let someone else do the dirty work for them…" Jack nodded and continued.
"I don't think it would have been worth it for them to get rid of their daughter. After all, she didn't have anything to do with them for months – she was dead to them already, long before she was killed. It's still a possibility though. The only other suspects are Ivy and Christine." Bobby piped up,
"My instinct says its not Ivy. She's given us a lot of information, and all of it has proven to be trustworthy so far. I think we should look more into this Christine and see from there. If the Sheila's innocent, then I don't know how much longer we can drag on this case." Sue sat deep in thought, but looked up as she saw Dimitrius add something.
"There is still some pieces were missing, but I don't know where else to turn." An idea suddenly popped into Sue's mind.
"I do." She said quietly. They all turned to look at her. "Where did most of this originate? The problems between Christine, Ivy and Karoline – besides her parents?" Tara caught on quickly.
"Christine's rape." Sue nodded.
"What if there's more that we don't know. I read the case file. She dropped the charges. When she came in here, she was a little bit soft spoken but I definitely got the impression that she wouldn't take abuse from someone. She knew well enough to stand up for herself. Maybe we should talk to him too. He probably doesn't know that were looking into Christine, and maybe because of that we'll get the truth out of him." Jack considered what she was saying and nodded in agreement.
"Here's what we'll do. Honey – I want you to look over the surveillance tapes with Tara. Myles, D – why don't you two get more information on the rape case – also see if you can't find visitors records for James at the prison since he's been there. Anything that connects him to this case."
"Got it!" D exclaimed, as he and Myles quickly set off.
"Bobby and I will go to the prison." Jack announced. Sue approached him, as everyone set off to work.
"Are you sure you're going to be okay talking with him?" She asked with concern. He gave her a grave smile.
"You did it." She couldn't help but grin back, but her expression quickly turned serious again.
"What happened is over – remember so long ago when I told you that you needed to forgive him? I meant it. He might have information, and you know you're going to have to keep your emotions in check." He nodded. She leaned in and kissed him.
"Eww! Get a room!" Bobby exclaimed. Sue turned to Jack and smiled.
"What did he say?" she asked. Jack looked at her mischievously.
"He said what a cute little family we make and how much more I know then him about being married." Sue chuckled.
"I'm sure he said all that in those few seconds I was kissing you!" Bobby shook his head in disgust again, but made his way over to his fiancée and kissed her before leaving as well. Jack and Sue both said loudly in unison,
"EWW!" Tara's cheeks burned red, but they all laughed as Jack and Bobby headed out and Tara and Sue got to work, getting the tapes from the Jefferson Hotel.
