Claire walked up to Kim and Kevin, who met her half way as the rest of the team went back to working the scene and the staff.
"Kevin? Kim?" Claire made sure she had the right two people from the list of names she heard Voight rattle off. The pair nodded in acknowledgement. "Follow me."
Before they headed off, Claire shouted back to her interns. "Em, Chris, if these fine people need anything, give it to them! If not, stay out of the way!"
"You got it boss!" The two interns shouted back as they watched Claire walk down the hall with Kevin and Kim.
At the end of the long hallway stood an unmarked door with a small electronic pad next to it. Before Kevin and Kim could ask, their jaws dropped slightly as they watched the young woman pull down her shirt a little to reach into her bra. She pulled out a credit card sized id and swiped it up against the door. The light on the door turned green and it popped open slightly.
"Safest place to keep things." Claire said, tapping on her breast after putting the card back.
Kevin and Kim just shook their heads as they continued walking. They followed Claire down the hall and into a small room.
"Hey guys." Claire got the attention of the security team. "These are Detectives Kim and Kevin. They want to take a look at the security footage from last night."
The guys quickly got to work finding the appropriate footage. Once they found it, Claire joined the security team and the detectives in scrutinizing every minute of video.
"And who are these people?" Kevin asked, pointing to a few people in video.
Claire looked and replied, "The woman in red is our Head of Finance, and then the man with her is our Senior Manager of Visitor Services. I'm sure your fellow detectives will be talking to them today."
Kevin nodded. Claire continued to point out staff and board members to Kim and Kevin. This was taking a while, as everyone could tell by the fact that Claire had taken off her shoes. One of the security guys tried being nice and offered her a chair.
"No thanks, I'm good." She nodded towards the two detectives. Kevin looked at Kim, who also shook her head. Without a second thought, Kevin took the chair.
"Me and heels just haven't been on good terms lately." Claire continued. "Should've just left on my gym shoes from this morning."
Kevin looked up at her. "Gym shoes? You work out?"
"Every morning before I come here." Claire smiled.
Kevin was too impressed for words. To fill the new awkward silence, Kim spoke up for pretty much the first time all day.
"If you don't mind me asking, how far along are you?"
"Twenty-six weeks. What about you?"
Kim was stunned by the question. "How did you-?"
Claire put her hand on Kim's shoulder. "From one mom to another, I could tell."
Kim nodded and smiled a little. "Eight weeks."
Before they could finish their conversation, Kevin interrupted.
"Hey, who's this guy?" Kevin pointed to a man in jeans and a sweatshirt on the screen.
Claire studied the screen. "That's one of our maintenance guys. He's relatively new, only been here about a year."
"Got a name?" Kevin asked.
"Yeah, it's Mark something. Sorry I wish I could remember his last name." Claire explained. "Mix of pregnancy brain and the fact that nobody really goes by last name here."
Kim giggled a little at the pregnancy brain remark. That would be her soon enough.
"It's ok. Since we need it anyway, would last names be written on the list of whose ids have access to what doors?"
Claire nodded as she got the security guys to print off the list. "Of course. Here you go."
"Thanks." Kevin took the paper and skimmed through it. "We're going to take this back to the district and see what we can come up with."
Claire shook the detectives' hands one more time as she brought them back up into the main galleries.
The crew gathered around as Hailey got everyone up to speed on what they had so far. She posted a picture up on the board.
"Mark Tomlin. 38. One prior for possession. Didn't do time, just community service."
Jay added. "The museum staff all confirmed him as the head janitor. Comes in Monday through Friday nights, usually in by 7 out by 11."
"Surveillance footage confirms Mark was in said gallery at that time the night of the robbery." Kevin added.
Voight joined his team. "Ok so we have a potential perp."
"But just because he was in that gallery, doesn't exactly prove anything. And going from possession to multi-million dollar museum heist seems like a stretch, don't you think?" Rojas jumped into the conversation.
"A little. And from the specs you and I pulled, that Jackson whatever his name was...his art seemed big, like one guy couldn't carry it on his own, at least not without somebody noticing." Adam added.
"So you're saying whoever did this had help." Voight said.
Adam shrugged his shoulders and half nodded. He wasn't a hundred percent sure, but it seemed likely.
"Ok. So let's keep this guy in mind but also keep digging for potential accomplices. See if the rest of the staff there really is as clean handed as they say they are. Were we able to get footage of the actual robbery in progress?"
"Honestly Sarge we didn't get a good look. We were more worried about getting the cast of characters and seeing who looked out of place." Kevin said. "I can take a swing back by and see if they can get us more footage that we can put through our system. Maybe see if Mark came back after his shift."
"I'll go with you and see if those ids have a timestamp. Something that'll shrink down our time frame a little." Kim added, grabbing her jacket.
Adam scoffed a little. "Oh you just want to go back to hang out with your new bff."
Kim smiled slyly. "What, are you jealous?"
"Maybe he just has an issue with strong women putting him in his place." Hailey smirked.
"Yeah, you were kind of acting dumb." Rojas jumped in. "Claire had the scene on lockdown and by asking if the public was coming in, you kind of downplayed her authority. It would be like if one of us women had control of a scene and you decided to march in and take over."
Kim patted him on the shoulder as she walked out the door. "Yeah if that were me, I'd be pissed."
Adam threw his hands in the air as he sat in his chair. He couldn't catch a break lately.
Voight took back control of the situation. "Alright! The rest of you, back to work. I want every piece of info you can get me on this Mark guy. Adam, if you're right and he did have help, this case is about to get a lot bigger than any of us realized."
