“I’m naked when I visit you. You make one judge cry over a warrant, and they never let you forget it,” she joked, as they headed toward the morgue building and their family.
Apparently.
And that worked for her.
“Want to update me?” he asked.
So, she did.
“We created my list of suspects.”
Ethan was aware. He saw it on her shared drive. He’d been working on a profile on his way there to make sure she had something to use.
“I saw that you eliminated Devon Slater, and Bill Farmington, according to the cops’ research.”
Yeah, about that.
She told him about what just went down, and how she handled it when it came to the two detectives who just quit their jobs.
“That’s fair,” he admitted. “They did lie, and as their boss, you have a no lie policy on your team.”
That was basically it.
If you couldn’t trust your team, who could you trust? But you also couldn’t bust balls so hard you spited yourself. They were both good cops.
Running the division was like being a mother. Sometimes, you had to overlook the lies and see why a‘kid’did it. In this case, she understood.
“Well, call me Saint Elizabeth of the cuckoo.”
Because she wanted him caught up to date, she shared what else they figured out.
“We’re still digging on Larry. Callen’s handling it right now. We found that his last employer, or his only other client, was Devon’s father. The man doesn’t take on others, so he’s likely being paid well.”
Oh, likely.
“Devon’s wealthy, and he inherited his wealth, so probably. You know how Chris continues to use the same attorneys his mother and father used. They are old as shit, some of them, but they are effective.”
Yeah, she was aware.
She continued, going down her mental list of things to update her husband on.
“Jeffrey’s mother is being researched, along with all our suspects all the way back to their youth. Like you told us, many times, serial killers aren’t born. They are made. We’re looking to see if any have sketchy shit in their past.”
Yeah, he preached that a lot.
So far, it sounded like they were in a good place for day two, but his gut said that this could come undone.
That was always the potential.
“Callen’s on that too because the shit hit the fan with Corbin and Alex.”
Ethan lifted a brow.
“What happened?”
She told him.
Oh, and that didn’t sound good.
