Chapter 19
Abby was working on the evidence from Palmer's case, trying to focus. She kept thinking about when she arrived at work this morning and the mouse was out-of-place. Did someone enter her lab after she left?
She saw that Major MassSpec would take a while to give the results she was waiting for. ' No time like the present. I'll just look this up and clear my head. Then I'll be able to focus on helping Jimmy! '
She walked over to her computer and looked aver the programs that were run on it. She saw that the last thing it did before she arrived in the morning was play the messages from the Manning case. That was the last thing she did before she left, McGee managed to get the real voice in the messages, they called the team down and listened to it. But the hour on it was wrong. She had already left at that time.
Someone had entered the lab after she left. HER LAB! How could someone desecrate her precious space like that? She would get to the bottom of this.
She called McGee.
" Agent McGee. "
" Tim! Did you came back to my lab after I left? "
" What? No. Why? "
" The mouse! "
" What? What mouse? "
" When I arrived this morning the mouse was out-of-place! But I had things to do. But I couldn't take it anymore so I checked and my computer was used after I left last night. Someone played the messages from the Manning case. Are you sure it was not one of you guys? "
She waited while he spoke with the rest of the agents.
" No, it wasn't any of us. Anything else out-of-place? "
" No it was just the mouse. But now I'll have to check everything. I'll go through the security cameras, and get prints from the mouse and keyboard. "
" Alright let me know what you find. "
" Will do McGee! And I'll find the bastard that entered my lab without my permission. "
She dusted her mouse and keyboard for prints, and separated the each one, running them on the computer. She then pulled the security camera feed, getting the video from the time the computer was being used.
She watched, confused by what she was seeing.
" Jimmy? "
