An unjust death
Part 2
One man

Elizabeth found it awkward juggling office supplies with opening the elevator door; she smiled when a hand pushed it open for her. "Thanks," She turned to see the good looking guy holding the door open for her.

"This old building, I'm happy I'm not working here alone." He watched as she was stepping inside, he stepped beside her. "I'm Pete Gillies." He held a hand out for her.

Elizabeth laughed. She tried to juggle to the bags in her hands holding out her pinkie finger. "Elizabeth Simms," She felt his hand take hold of her finger. "It's nice to meet you," she added looking over the guy with caution.

"Guess this is my floor," He gave her another charming smile; Pete stepped out, for a second he turned to face Elizabeth, "I'm just down here if you ever want to talk."

"And I'm just upstairs if you need anything." She watched him closing the door behind himself.

Pete laughed, "I'll take you up on that." The door fully closed as he walked to his office.

Julianne opened the elevator for Elizabeth seeing her with a big grin on her face, she rolled her eyes. "You saw the guy from the office down stairs." She turned heading back to her desk; she did a double take at her sister staring at her. "What?"

"Hair," Elizabeth placed the bags down looking over Julianne, she'd come out of the house with her hair up like normal, but now it was down neatly brushed, "Why the need to go down?"

Julianne brushed a hand through her hair, she shrugged. "I can't wear my hair down." She started to look over the computer, "It's not like you don't wear your hair up and I question it."

"I was making an observation," Elizabeth started to put office supplies about on her desk. "Just pain in the butt that I have to stay here and help you until Charlie gets the final paperwork for me to be in the field." She folded her arms sitting down.

"Well they found something; I'm the go to girl to finding them information." Julianne glanced to her coffee cup taking a sip; she looked back up to see the expression on Elizabeth's face.

Picking at her fingernails Elizabeth shrugged, "You do that then." She listened to the elevator again. "Guys are back." Her eyes going over the computer screen taking small peeks at Julianne as the door opened.

"So I am assuming you two lovely ladies have been busy," Lloyd sat down on the desk next to Elizabeth, "because we've found so much stuff out." He turned seeing Julianne, and then Elizabeth putting his feet up.

Elizabeth grabbed a ruler pushing at his sneakers, "I've been supply shopping." She watched Lloyd's feet go down, "Julianne's the busy bee." She pointed out taking more office supplies from the bags.

"Office lovely lady, you mind getting me a coffee?" Lloyd smiled up to her, Elizabeth rolling her eyes. "May I add a pretty please, and sugar on top."

"Fine." Getting to her feet Elizabeth headed into the break room looking to the coffee machine, her hands running in her hair hearing the elevator door opening again, she smiled to herself hearing Pete's voice, but it dropped when hearing Erica talking to him. She knew it was a matter of time before Lloyd made his comments about the guy as she poured the coffee out for him feeling herself listening to the conversation.

"Are you alright?" Ray snapped her attention from pouring way too much coffee into a mug.

Elizabeth stared at him for a few seconds looking confused, "Yeah, good." She went to the sink pouring out the excess. "Just waiting on this paperwork." Placing the mug down, she looked to Ray with a nervous expression. "Is there anything you need to talk to me about?"

Ray shook his head, "Na, just making sure you're doing okay, I mean with the case topic and all." He touched her shoulder, for a second he could tell that maybe it was best he didn't bring it up.

"I'm good," Her eyes going to his, she smiled softly, "Ray, I've been seeing a councilor, I'm not letting my past mask what I want to do now." She tapped his shoulder going to walk out.

"Me and Shea are going to get some food, you want anything?" He asked stepping to her side.

Elizabeth bit her lip for a second, "I'm good," her hand rubbing against his arm. "Don't worry." She now headed to her desk looking to Lloyd still next to her desk.

"So, the paperwork come in yet?" He asked looking over her face as she placed a coffee mug in front of him, then to Shea and Ray walking out of the office. "I bet you spat in that." He looked to the mug again.

"Yes Lloyd, I spat in your coffee, cos I am immature like that." Elizabeth's eyes were looking around her desk.

Lloyd inhaled; he could see Julianne deep in work, Erica doing her own thing. "I want to say sorry about earlier, I shouldn't be so pushy. It's just what happened." He felt her eyes shooting daggers at him, the pointing over to Julianne. "I'm just sorry." Lloyd picked up the mug taking a sip.

Elizabeth shook her head starting to type, but froze looking to the table, "Where is the paper I just brought?"

Lloyd looked up to Erica, he turned back to Elizabeth grinning, "She gave it to the guy downstairs," He kept smirking as Elizabeth smashed her face onto the desk grunting. "And I think you're not a happy bunny." He pointed out watching as she repeatedly bumped her head on the desk.

Charlie kept looking to his desk, he felt weird about everything that was happening to him. Not so long ago he was working at a desk, doing a job he only tolerated, but now being offered something he could only dream off. Charlie poked his head out his office looking for Elizabeth, "Liz, need you in here." He called.

Lloyd glanced up from his file seeing Elizabeth getting to her feet, "I guess this is what you've been waiting for?" He asked, but a part of him didn't want Elizabeth in the field, the whole idea of her being in danger scared him.

Shaking her head at Lloyd Elizabeth went into the office looking to Charlie, "You mind shutting the door?" He watched her close the door as she felt nervous watching him. "So, I've been sent the test results from the exam you sat two weeks ago, plus the recommendation letters," Charlie stood up holding a fax, "Your paper works just gone through," He held a hand out, "You are one step closer to field work." He watched Elizabeth's face fall, "Liz, you still need to have basic weapon training, and…" He sighed. "Okay, you can be on the field, but I need you to understand you don't get a weapon until you're trained."

"Fine, I can understand that," Elizabeth folded her arms, "so this promotion, sounds good." She relaxed looking over Charlie's face, "Whatever you choose to do, congratulations."

"Thank you," Charlie looked behind her to see Shea and Ray walking back into the office with food. Taking a step out as he had Elizabeth behind him. "Janice Mason operated a book mobile, was the only one vehicle to leave the premises before they locked it down after the escape." He pointed to the woman's face coming up on the monitor.

"How you know it was wrong?" Ray asked after putting the bags of food down looking over the woman.

Charlie relaxed his stance, "Because her name isn't Janice Mason it was a bogus I.D," He looked to Ray feeling like this wasn't a good thing both cons being out, and big chance finding their way to each other.

"Anything on facial requisition?" Ray asked Julianne sitting at her desk going through the system, but was coming up with nothing.

"Nothing yet," Julianne glanced over to Lloyd again, her eyes watching her sister looking over a file.

Charlie nodded, "We've got prison officials isolating any materials she might have touched to be finger print processed." He watched his team.

"Here's something," Julianne got to her feet after reading the report on her computer, "The book mobiles plates they're legit, registered to the state, but they've never been assigned a pin number."

"Perfect plates, perfect I.D to run the car by the farm house, easy access to the prison, we're looking at someone who as in with the DMV, or works there." Erica glanced up to Julianne.

"State employees have to have their picture on files, by law," Julianne held a hand up turning around heading to her computer. "Yeah I can pull it up."

Elizabeth smiled watching Julianne, then walked over to Shea helping himself to a burger, her eyes looking over to Lloyd, "What?" Elizabeth and Shea said at the same time.

"How can you eat at a time like this?" Lloyd felt his eyes staring the burger down like it was fifth, but suddenly looking up to Elizabeth looking twice as confused.

"Let's see if me not enjoying this tasty burger will make the computer go faster," He held the burger away from his mouth, "Jules?" He took a glance to the left.

"Nope, same speed," Julianne replied while Shea took a bite into the burger enjoying the taste of non-prison food.

Elizabeth laughed looking over Lloyd, "Guess you're thesis needs a little tweaking." Her eyes going to the bag grabbing some fries popping them into her mouth.

"Liz!" Shea's eyes snapping to the girl, "When asked if you wanted anything, you didn't. So kept your hands off my fries." He gave her a playful glare watching her grab some more with a giggle. "Oh, you'll regret that…" He joked.

"Here we go," Julianne caught every ones attention. "Marge Lepetsky worked in a DMV branch in Womack for fifteen years." She glanced up to Charlie.

"Okay we split up, we take to rigs down to Womack, get every known address on this chick and give it to use on the road." He pointed out; he stopped in front of Elizabeth tapping her shoulder. "You get your first outing." He walked away from her.

Elizabeth watched Julianne walking passed with her coffee mug, "High five sista!" holding her hand in the air as Julianne slapped it walking to the break room. "Woot, woot" Julianne waved her hands disappearing from view.

Lloyd couldn't help from looking from one sister, to where the other went. "Have you two swap roles for the day?" Lloyd felt his eyes fall on Elizabeth's face.

She only stood still watching him. "No, why would you say that?" She asked reaching for her jacket.

"She's acting odd," Lloyd said walking from the desk standing in front of Elizabeth, "is she still taking her medication?"

"I'm not her keeper," Elizabeth finally put her hands into her pockets. "Why don't you just talk to her, and remember…"

"I'm not going to shout out what we did," He whispered walking away from Elizabeth.

Elizabeth just sighed walking towards the elevator, she really was giving up on the idea of Lloyd ever manning up to his feelings for Julianne, but as she turned to take a glimpse into the break room, she just wondered if he really felt the way she thought he did, or was he playing some sick mind game.
