Chapter Seven
It was about 9:00pm when the team met with assembled again at the FBI office; Abbott recalled that they hadn't booked a hotel for their guest. Sherlock being his usual self didn't really mind sleeping on Jane's couch in the office, but Lisbon insisted on them staying the night at her place until the next day, John would have let Sherlock have his way except he was bone tired. Jane himself would rather that Sherlock used his couch; he really didn't want the man reading bliss off his face in the morning.
Sherlock got up by 4 am, and paced the sitting room, something was wrong with the crime scene, exactly what was beyond him for now, but he was going to figure it out. Jane came in an hour later with Lisbon and John, "Do you want us to trade findings?" Jane asked, "I do very much want that to happen." Sherlock answered, Jane went into the kitchen to prepare tea, and was out before Sherlock could ask him why he was walking away. "You know Mr. Jane, you make a mean tea." Sherlock said, Jane just smiled sipping away, "So what did you find on you tour?" Jane asked, "Getram apparently had a secretary that stayed with him, I bet it was her body they moved, she probably walked in on them and they had no choice. The silent alarm in the house was switched off before the attack, it was digital, Getram was generally a lone ranger, that would tell us that the killers knew the house very well, the association probably designed and built the house for him, the job was done clean." Sherlock stared into space for a few seconds, "I had a guy trace the terminal and source of the silent alarm, and he traced it to Sac PD office and the source to Hi-Tech electronics and security. I talked with Sac PD, they said the alarm sounded about an hour after the murder, but I observed that the alarm was never activated after the killers deactivated it, I also spoke to Hi-Tech, and the buyer was Harley, which does not match with my theory of them building the house and installing the alarm, how could they have known the alarm was there? And as you say, she was cheating on Getram long before the divorce, she has no motive, you?" Jane sipped on his tea taking in all the information that was being poured into his system, he looked up at Sherlock Holmes, "Harley, well didn't really talk much about her life with Getram, I mostly read it off her, she was reluctant to confess that I was right, but she didn't have to. She was in love with Getram, that agreed, but he was never home long enough for her liking, so like anyone else, she moved out to find the next available guy, being her admirable and confident self, she didn't find that quite hard, and to make her luck complete, she found a nice guy in James, rich, hot and thick, he was a perfect guy, plus he didn't need her money. She later spoke to me about how she and Getram got divorced, apparently, the threat came from Getram, rather than the association, and she thought it strange, but as we say, 'don't ask, don't tell.' She just moved out quietly, and she was hardly in touch with him, as she said, 'one moment he wanted to have kids with her, the next he was acting like a cold serial killer.'" "Was your victim, the English MP a bachelor?" Lisbon asked turning to face Sherlock, "Yes he was" "So we have an organisation recruiting single men, and killing them off when they aim for a higher post?" Lisbon asked a rhetorical question "Come to think of it Sherlock, the MP, he might have had a secretary, writing his memo." John said, "High horses" Sherlock exclaimed, "how did I miss that", he gave John an approving glance, "And there were members of parliament at his house too, and politicians at Getram's house too." Lisbon commented, "as soon as the day breaks, we will talk to the politicians he knew" Lisbon said.
