Chapter Four
Evening…
FBI Building…
David was waiting anxiously by the elevator door, unsure of how Merrick will be when he comes into the building.
'No matter what, just make sure he doesn't make things more difficult for the case.' David thought to himself
The elevators soon opened with said man speed walking to the war room, making David even more concerned as he followed the man.
Don was just as concerned when he saw Merrick, as the man looked like he hadn't slept last night.
"Sir, I just want to say that I am sorry for your loss." Don said, unsure of what else he could say at this point.
"Thanks, Agent Eppes, I appreciate it and I would like to be kept in the loop on this." Merrick simply said.
Both Don and David nodded silently, knowing that they wouldn't have much of a choice in the matter and both agents just hoped that Merrick didn't make anything worse.
Charlie walked in pushing a white board with Larry and Amita in tow, with Charlie clearly trying to not to say anything to Merrick, about what, David wasn't sure.
"Merrick… Do you know when your sister will be here?" Don asked, unsure if it was the right move.
"Tomorrow, as her doctor told her, she needed to take it easy today before she could deal with the situation." Merrick simply said in a strained tone.
Everyone else in the room decided to leave it at that, knowing that there was something else going on with Merrick's family but they will deal with it as they go through the case.
"Okay, first we need to know all his friends and coworkers…" David started while Merrick intently listened, with a look that told everyone one important thing.
He was going to be there when they find the people that killed his nephew and there was no way that they were going to say no to that.
