same side of the Spectrum
It's nearly 2:00 and I'm still at home, watching Criminal Minds which is a pretty damn good show, when my phone rings. I knew it would ring eventually. I pick up my phone and answer it, but before I even have a chance to ask whose their, the other person starts speaking.
''Garcia, it's Morgan. They found fingerprints on the paper and have results for the prints. They want you back at the station, I'll be there in 10 to pick you up.'' Without getting to say a word, he hangs up. Groaning, I grab my jacket and badge, then head outside to wait for Morgan.
After Morgan picks me up, we head straight to the station. When I do get inside the station, everyone else is waiting by my desk.
''So what's going on with the results?'' I ask as I put everything down on my desk.
''We did get a match for the fingerprints, and they belong to a Chad Moore, a 34-year-old hot head with a record. We picked him up and he's in the interrogation room, ask him some questions, but be careful he has a short fuse.'' Hotch tells me. I gulp. I haven't dealt with hotheads who have records in a while.
''Got it.'' I smile to put them at ease if they noticed, then starts walking towards the interrogation room. Before I open the door, Morgan comes up from behind me.
''Hey don't be nervous about this, I'll be right on the other side of the glass making sure nothing happens that shouldn't, ok?'' He reassured me, I nod my head before walking into the room. Sitting at the table was an obviously built man with blonde hair and a tattoo on his neck. As I sit across from Chad, he begins to look me up and down, then sets a glare on his face.
''Mr. Moore is it? We found this piece of paper in the middle of a crime scene, which you like to tell me why?'' I ask Chad Calmly.
''What did this piece of paper say exactly?''
''I told you, Thomas was lying to you, why would your fingerprints be on the paper?'' I ask once more.
''See, Thomas Branden was cheating on his wife Eileen, and being Thomas's best friend, I felt like I had to tell her, she didn't believe me at first. When she did find out he was cheating on her, I wrote this note and sent it to her. I never brought it to the house directly, I just mailed it.'' Chad finishes explaining it to me.
''See, Chad that's not what I think. I think you got mad being the hot head you are because the wife didn't listen to you, and then Thomas got pissed at you because you told the wife. So you went to their house, and murdered them. When the kids started to scream, you strangled them.'' I say. I think I just lit chad's fuse because his face starts getting red, and his fists clench up. He stands up from the chair, and points a finger at me.
''Now, there's no way in hell i did that. Sure my best friend was cheating on his wife, and I told her, that doesn't mean I'd kill them!'' Chad get's angrier, now clenching his teeth.
''Now, Moore I suggest you sit down in that chair again before I send my dog in.''
''What's a dog going to do?''
''Fine, just remember you asked for it. Morgan!'' I call in the room, hoping Morgan can hear me. Next thing I know, Morgan walks into the room. Guess he heard me. He immediately goes towards Chad a bit.
''Chad, sit your ass down and cool it. Just listen to the women here.'' Morgan calmly says to Chad.
''No I'm done here, Just remember if I had it my way, you'd be in jail by the end of the day.'' Being a little pissed, I open the door and walk through it, then close it forcefully behind me. Pacing in front of the door, I slowly start calming down. A few minutes later, Derek walks out of the interrogation room.
''Hey, you ok?'' He ask me as he stops in front of me, stopping me from pacing.
''No. My gut's telling me, and I want to arrest him now, but until we have more evidence we can't, which pisses me off extremely.''
''I know it does, believe me I feel the same way. But we just have to be patient on this.'' Morgan puts his hand on my shoulder. ''Just take a deep breath, and let's move on past this guy.'' Finally calming down, I start walking down the hall with Morgan by my side.
''I'm your dog now Penelope?'' He asks, amused by that.
''It was the best thing to catch him off guard, what did you think?''
''Well, I'm certainly going to have to be your dog more often.'' He says as he lays his arm lightly across my shoulders. Walking by my desk, I get away from him and sit down in my desk. Morgan just leans against the front of my desk.
''So what are you going to do now?'' He asks.
''Find some evidence against that son of a bitch in there so I can do the honors of arresting his ass.'' Derek laughs as moves to behind me.
''There's the spirit. I'm hoping I'll see you later Sweetheart. '' He ruffles my hair before walking down the hall to his desk. You know, I think I could get use to him calling me that.
They've got another suspect in the case that Everyone can assure Morgan and Garcia both hate with a passion. And apparently Morgan is Garcia's new bulldog! Wish I had a dog like him!
