Same Side Of The Spectrum
Before Alex Clancy opened the door, Morgan was out of the car and by my side. Man, he's fast when he wants to be. He starts to open his mouth again when the door opens. A 40-year-old man whose hair is thinning and is well overweight opens the door with a disgusted look on his face.
''Who the hell are two?'' The Man asks in a hoarse voice.
''I'm Homicide Detective Penelope Garcia and this is Agent Derek Morgan. We're here to ask you couple of questions. First, are you Alex Clancy?'' I ask the man.
''Yeah, what's it to you?'' Alex retorts back.
''Did you know either Thomas Branden or Eileen Branden?''
''Eileen is my sister. Why the fuck are you asking me this?'' Alex asks with a now annoyed look on his face.
''Alex, one more word out of your mouth besides the answers to her questions and I'll make sure you get stuck in jail for whatever I can, got it?'' Morgan threatens, giving Alex a death glare. Instead of speaking, he just nods his head.
''Why are you asking me these questions?'' Alex asks in a more calm voice. I take a deep breath, and begin to tell him.
''Thomas, Eileen and their kids were found dead in their house yesterday and your fingerprint was found on the kitchen window, care to explain why?'' I ask him. He registers a look of shock on his face, who wouldn't you just found out your sister had been murdered.
''I'm her brother, I went to their house quite often, why wouldn't my fingerprint be on the kitchen window?'' Alex asks, a little pissed off but once he get's a look at Morgan he calms down immediately.
''Ok then, we might need you for more questions so don't go out-of-town Alex.'' Without a response, Alex slams the door in our faces. Well, he didn't really coöperate. Morgan and I get back in the car, and we just sit there. Finally, Morgan get's his chance to speak.
''I'm sorry I asked about your brother, I didn't mean to upset you or anything.'' I don't look at Morgan, but I can feel him look at me.
''It's fine, don't worry about it.'' My phone rings, and I answer it.
''Garcia.''
''Penelope, it's JJ. Collins gave me or everyone your number. We ran the hair you found on Eileen's body, came up nothing.''
''Well, that sucks. We talked to Alex Clancy, who is Eileen's brother. Nothing, he just said he was often at the house and that's why the fingerprint was there.''
''Back to square one then. Guess I'll see you guys at the station.''
''See you then.'' I hang up on JJ, then look at Morgan as I start the car.
''The hair that was found on Eileen's body had no results.''I look back at the road as I start driving.
''Guess we have to wait for my team to get a profile.'' Morgan answers. After that, the car is silent the rest of the ride to the station.
I'm sitting at my desk, looking over photos we had taken of the crime scene, seeing If I must anything when someone walks over to my desk. I look up and see a nerdy looking kid who doesn't look over 25 years old.
''Detective Garcia?'' The kid asks.
''Yeah?''
''I'm Doctor Spencer Reid with the BAU, I have something you might want to know. Since the hair you found came up with no result, I looked at it more closely. I noticed it's not hair, it's a rare type of fiber only found in Brazil, most likely from gloves.'' Man, this kid is like a mini genius!
''And that's why we couldn't find any other prints, because he was wearing gloves. Thanks Doctor Reid.'' Reid smiles lightly before walking back to where he came from. Time passes as I get back to looking over the photos and soon enough it's midnight. I'm still looking at them when Agent Morgan comes up to my desk.
''You really should be home Detective.'' He says as he leans on my desk slightly.
''I guess your right.'' I stand up from my desk, and go to grab my jacket but Agent Morgan already has it in his hand, and is handing it to me.
''Thank you.'' I put my jacket on then grab the key's to my car.
''It's late out, let me drive you home.'' Morgan asks as I start walking to my car. He's following right by my side.
''Thanks for offer but I can drive myself home.'' Morgan stops me by lightly touching my arm, which I slowly back away from his touch.
''Again, I really didn't mean to upset you with your brother, you sure your ok?''
''I'm fine.'' I reach my car, and get in with Morgan standing by the driver's side door.
''Goodnight Morgan.'' Without waiting for him to move, I pull away from him, then start driving to my house. Why does he have to push it? It's sweet yet irritating at the same time. Let's just hope tomorrow's different.
So, Morgan is already being sweet, and he doesn't even know her! Wish it would happen to me! Their moving along in the case, and next chapter the profile will be given out.
