Day four: Rigsby, Cho and the CBI.
Seeing someone in pain is horrible. Seeing someone you care about in pain is even worse.
It was a very rare occasion that Kimball Cho showed any kind of emotion.
His poker face was famous all around the CBI. Sometimes not even the amazing Patrick Jane could figure out what he was feeling. Only sometime though. You could tell him the funniest joke in the world and the corners of his mouth wouldn't' even twitch. Whatever emotion, positive or negative, he could hide it from sight.
But not this time.
Wayne Rigsby had always been a protective kind of person. Whenever a friend was in trouble, he would be there to help them. If anyone he cared about was in danger, he would defend them. He hated seeing any of the team get hurt and when he saw his friend get hit by the guy they were trying to catch, the anger reached a boiling point. He couldn't get the image out of his head. Two people he cared about, who had found happiness in each other where either broken or heart broken. The only thing he could think of was tearing Alan and Sam Thomas apart.
When one person is hurt, it sends a wave of negative emotions around those close to them. Sadness. Anger. Fury. Depression. Both Cho and Rigsby were feeling all these emotions, and everyone in the world could see that.
Alan had been caught in the end. Cho and Rigsby could have been fired for the way they handled the interrogation but they didn't care. Their colleague, their friend, was fighting for his life whilst their boss was nursing a broken heart. Two people's happy life had been temporarily shattered and there was nothing they could do. Nothing except punish those responsible. They didn't hold back with their anger. They didn't hold back with their tempers.
Alan had threatened to sue, so had his cousin. They wouldn't get anywhere. Every employee in the building would back up Cho and Rigsby. Alan had done it to himself. He had hurt himself. The CBI was a family, and family help out each other.
Knowing that prison guards don't take well to people who hurt others in law enforcement gave Cho and Rigsby the satisfaction they needed. At least they'll have some good news to tell Teresa…
Chapter two done. Probably a bit shorter than the first, sorry!. As ever, reviews would be nice. Or just review the story as a whole at the end if you wish… Up next…chapter three!
