Same Side Of The Spectrum
Within 20 minutes in Morgan ending the call, he arrives with a box in hand. He sets the box down on my desk, and looks at me.
''Take it that's the evidence?'' I ask him.
''Yes it is, let me show you what we found at the house.'' Morgan takes the lid off the box, and starts pulling out bags with items in them.
''First we have a key to their house, then there's angry letter from Eileen begging him to leave her and the kids alone, and this... is what I would consider our deal breaker.'' The last bag he pulls out has two red gloves. And clearly you can see a tear in the right glove, as if a few string were pulled from it. Just like the red fiber found on Eileen's body!
''Red gloves! Yes, I think that would make him our prime suspect now Agent Morgan.''
''Yes it would.'' We stand there, looking at each other for a while before he finally speaks.
''About last night...''
''I shouldn't have done what I did, it was a mistake.'' Morgan gives me a sort of shocked look.
''A mistake? What you did wasn't a mistake, if anything it pushed me to finally realise something that I wasn't wanting to realise on for some unknown reason. I realised that I've loved you all this time, and didn't notice. I was afraid to say something because... well, I thought that you wouldn't feel the same.'' He steps closer to me, now the box being the only thing that's separating us.
''Now I know that what is going on between us, is real. '' Like he did last night, he brings his hand to rest at my cheekbone. This time, he's the one that kisses me. Even though it's short and sweet, it said everything He didn't say already. He pulls away, removing his hand from my cheek.
''Guess you should go ask Brenner about the evidence we found.'' Morgan says as he puts the bags back in the box, and puts the lid on it.
''Guess I should.''
''Be careful ok?'' He asks after kissing my forehead.
''Got it.'' I grab the evidence box then make my way over to the room where Brenner is being held. I enter the room, and set the box on the table. Mason looks at me, then the box and back at me.
''So, what took ya long enough? Too busy arresting people for no reason?'' Mason asks.
''Ohh, no. We had a very productive time at your house. Let's look through what we found shall we?'' I open the lid to the box, and bring the bag with the letter to him in it.
''On your dresser was it? Was this letter Eileen had sent it, and may I quote something she said 'Just leave us alone already, I don't need my kids around you.' Would you like to tell me why She would write this?'' I ask Mason, who is still acting as calm as could be.
''That letter does not prove I murdered them.''
''Your right, it doesn't. But this does...'' I pull out the bag with the gloves, and this time Brenner perks up a bit.
''We found these on your bed. On Eileen's body, we found a red fiber, usually used in gloves. Now if you look on the right glove, it looks as if some fibers were pulled from it. Now Brenner, you can either fess up to the murders and we can get you a 50 year sentence instead of life in prison without the opportunity of peril, or I can make sure I can stick you in jail for not just murder, but threating a police officer as well. So, what's it going to be Brenner?'' I snarl in his face.
''If I wasn't handcuffed to this chair, I would kill you right now.'' Mason snaps back at me.
''See, you wouldn't be able to do that. I just happen to know someone who is very protective of me, and if he found out you said that, you'd be dead before you even knew what was going on.''
''What? Is your boyfriend going to protect you? How sweet. Just remember sweetheart, Nothing you say or do is scaring me.''
''But I guarantee you that I'll change that statement real damn quick.'' Turning around, Morgan is standing there by the door with his arm crossed over his chest.
''Brenner, you may not be confessing to the murders, but we have enough evidence against you to convince a jury, and that's all we need. See ya court buddy.'' Morgan grabs my arm and leads me outside the room. When he let's go of my arm, a smile springs to my face.
''And what's got you smiling?'' Morgan asks.
''The fact that we are so close to getting this guy I could taste it. Man is it going rewarding when that guy finally goes behind bars.''
''Believe me, I know it will. You did good in there.'' Morgan comments as he lightly moves his hand up and down my arm.
''Thank you.''
''Not a problem, now I'm going to go tell everybody else the good news. I'll see you in a bit.'' He leans down and kisses me lightly, before walking off towards everyone else.
''I love you!'' I call to his retreating figure, then walk back to my desk where I just sit down and begin to smile at the events of today.
Yeah! They're finally together! Now our favorite couple still has a long way to go before they reach the end of this fanfic :)
