"Oh Jamie, I thought you'd left!"
"No, no, I was waiting for Neal, but he got a little held up at work."
"Oh its great he got here though, feel free to get a drink or snack, talk to you soon!" Ally hurried off, rushing to talk to someone else.
"That's her version of hysterical, she'll get better eventually though..."
"That's good...its a little creepy."
Jamie shushed Neal and slapped him playfully.
"Jamie Road! No way!"
"Katie! Hey...I haven't seen you since high school."
"I know, we should totally talk on Facebook soon, anyway...who are you?" She asked Neal through her lashes.
He cleared his throat uncomfortably and wrapped an arm around Jamie's waist, "I'm Neal, Jamie's boyfriend."
"Oh...it's great of you to come and be with her. Jamie, you must be so broken up about your first love dying and all."
Jamie looked at Neal, "He wasn't my first love, we dated for a year. I never loved him. He didn't love me. We've been like siblings for the longest time. He and Ally were great together, they should've gotten married."
"Sorry, I didn't need a novel. Just wanted to express my condolences. Bye Neal," she added as she walked away.
Jamie looked at Neal worriedly, but Neal just kissed her head and said, "Why don't we get something to eat?"
After they had both changed, Jamie walked out to find Neal sitting at the table.
"Just say it Neal."
"First love? You said it was just a fling. I guess you're a better liar than I thought."
"Neal..." She sat down across from him, "let me explain."
"Explain? What do you need to explain? It seems like your friend Katie did that for you!"
"Just...please?"
Neal sighed, "Go ahead."
"Oliver was a year older than me, we became friends when I was a freshman and he was a sophomore. I found him attractive, sure, but I never thought about dating him. On the first day of his senior year he asked me on a date. We dated for a year. I thought we'd last after he went off to college. We did, for a little. It didn't work out, we both became interested in other people, we ended it on Halloween. I didn't talk to him all year, then I ran into him on campus one day, we've only been friends since. I knew he and Ally would be great together, thats why I set them up. Neal, please believe me. Katie was never a friend of mine, she's hated me since eighth grade."
He just sat there, searching Jamie's eyes, the he broke down, shaking his head.
"You're too hard to be mad at."
She smiled and leaned over the table to kiss him gently, "Thank you for understanding."
Neal smiled, "Your welcome, but next time, just tell me the truth okay?"
Jamie nodded, "I promise."
"Ally, Ally, calm down, you're sure about this? You aren't just paranoid? Okay, okay I'll talk to Neal about it...Talk to you soon. Bye."
"What was that about?" Neal asked as he walked out of the bedroom, fixing his tie.
Jamie sighed, "I think I may have a case for you."
Neal looked at Jamie, "What do you mean?"
"Ally called, she said she'd found all this stuff about the ADA and a note from Oliver saying that if anything happened to him, to bring it to the police. She knows you work for the FBI so she called me."
"What kind of stuff?"
Jamie shook her head, "I have no idea, want me to stop at Ally's and bring it in after lunch?" Neal nodded, "That may be a good idea."
Peter looked up from the evidence in front of him, "This is a lot of serious information about the ADA, how do you know its ligit?"
Jamie looked at Peter worriedly, "I don't think Oliver would make this kind of information up. I know he had been working in the ADA office for the past year, he loved his job, I'd never heard him complain about it. Ally said she was going through his stuff and found this note," She handed him a piece of paper, "on top of the box."
Peter nodded, seemingly convinced, "I think you brought a lot of good evidence in. I'll have Jones and Diana dig further but..."
"Peter does this mean Oliver was..."
"Yes, Jamie, I'm sorry, but Oliver was murdered."
