On the next morning Sue arrived in the bullpen early. She looked around the office, where she had spent the last three years… found true friends… and where she met the love of her life. It was a good decision to stay. My life, the man of my dreams is here, this is the place where I feel really good.
She sat to her desk and tried to focus on paperwork… but found this hard to do… she kept thinking of Jack. He was happy when he found out that I was staying… he was happy for me… I wish I knew what he wanted to tell me yesterday. We must talk. I hope this won't be a busy day, and then we can finish the conversation we started yesterday.
When Jack entered the bullpen a little later, he saw Sue as she worked, leaning over her desk. He wanted to talk to her about yesterday by all means. At the approaching of Jack Levi put his paws on Sue's leg. Sue looked up.
- Hi – she greeted the man.
- Hi – Jack replied. – Sue was beautiful, as always… Jack's heart still beat faster and his breath stopped whenever he looked at her, even after three years.
They were looking at each other for long seconds, neither of them could speak.
- I'm so happy you decided to stay… - Jack found his voice at last. – The team wouldn't be the same without you.
- I'm happy too that I can work with all of you in the future as well…
- Sue, we started a conversation yesterday, which we couldn't finish…
But it turned out soon that they would have to wait with this. D entered the bullpen.
- Guys, we have a new case. Four people were found dead this week… all of them are men between the ages of 50 and 60, murdered in their homes.
- Serial killer? – Bobby asked.
- It seems so... let's look for all possible connections between the victims, find their addresses out and visit their families. To work, people!
Jack reluctantly stepped away from Sue's desk. His job has always been the most important in his life, but since he met Sue, sometimes work came only second. Maybe not just sometimes... Now Sue is the most important in my life.
- The victims are Roger Collins, Harold Charlton, Raymond Calhoun and Walter Konrad –Jack said, while putting their photos on the board. – All of them are former soldiers, who, although they are from different states, later moved to Washington. Lucy, could you find their addresses?
- Just a moment! – Lucy turned towards her computer.
- Three of the victims were Americans, while Konrad was of German origin - Tara said. - I searched for the relatives of the victims living in Washington - Charlton had a daughter, Calhoun had a brother living in the capital, while Collins and Konrad lived with their wives in Washington – she continued, while writing the new information on the board.
- We'll go and ask their relatives and close friends. Bobby, Myles! Visit Calhoun's brother! Tara, D, question Collins' wife! Sue, we'll visit Charlton's daughter and Konrad's wife. Lucy, look for more information about the victims – Jack ordered.
The team set out to find out more about the victims from their relatives.
