I was helping Angie with figuring out what could have broken the hyoid only to get no results that it was suicide, when Temperance and Seeley joined us.
"So have you two figured anything out yet?" She asked
"Swan dive, cannon ball, cherry bomb... No matter how he jumps, the hyoid does not break." Angie told
"What about added weight?" She asked
"90 kilos." I told making Angie elaborate on what I said.
"We figure an added strain of 90 kilos to snap the hyoid."
"90 kilos is just under 200 lbs, the weight of a muscular man." Temperance told
"So what? The Venezuelan hit squad fantasy thing? For one thing it's nuts and another the guy'd have to be 20 feet tall." Seeley told
"You have not seen the giant skinny white boy from Caltech and another place that I won't say cause then you'll figure it out." I told
"I'm out of alternative scenarios to explain this hyoid break. Even Ash can't think of other options." Angie told.
"Ashley your with us again." Seeley told
"Fine. Tell the boys got me Angie." I told as I gave her a hug.
"Will do sweetie." She told before we left.
"Are you two like a thing?" Seeley asked
"No."
"They've been in each others lives since Ashley was 12." Temperance told
'Gross.'We were walking in Hanover Prep heading towards some room when Seeley spoke.
"I want to take another look at Nestor's room."
"What exactly do you hope to find?" Temperance asked
"It's not what I will be finding. Ashley has a supposed gift of finding things that people want hidden. If we use that gift then we might find something we didn't before."
"I feel like I'm a tool. Even though I am not able to be held in one hand." I told before we looked up the stairs
"Stay here." Seeley told only for Temperance push her way past him.
"Yeah right, that's gonna happen." She told
I rushed towards the stairs and began to quickly make my way up using the rails. I jumped over the rail and landed on the stairs before rushing after him. He stood in front of Nestor's room and I jumped and kicked him in. He grabbed my leg and flipped my making me land on the ground outside the door.
"Your gonna regret that." I told as I rushed back in with Temperance behind me.
He shut the door behind us and I was quick to shield Temperance from his hit, causing him to punch me in the face and gut so I fell to the ground. Allowing her to turn to him and kicked him in the stomach, which caused him to fall back against the door. Seeley opened it from the other side, making him stumble forward and Temperance trips him so he fell into his stomach. He quickly jumped up making us go running after him. He took some swings at Seeley and Seeley punched him a few times, till I took some steps back.
"Seeley! Duck!" I exclaimed before I started running again.
He looked towards me quickly and fell to the ground, as I jumped off the ground and used the wall as a booster so I got over Seeley and punched the guy in the face before jumping over his shoulders and grabbed his arms flipping him so he landed on his stomach. I placed my foot on his back keeping him in place and grabbed his arm and pulled it up so he was in pain and allowed us all to catch our breath.
"You alright?" Seeley asked Temperance making her nod.
"Are you?"
"Yeah. What about you Ashley?"
"I'll survive. I've had worst."
"Where'd you learn to fight like that?" He asked as I patted for his wallet.
"I know people. Friend of mine when I was 8-10 has a dad who was a cop. Taught me how to defend myself and taught me other skills. Ever since then, I've learnt every fighting technique that I could learn. Every weapon that exists, I learnt to use them. Kinda like a killer machine if you will."
"She also trained with people that went into the force."
"Also know this family. Cant say names for legal reasons, but great fighters." I told as I finally found his wallet and tossed it to Seeley. "Its why I stay close to Zack, Jack and Angie. I'm basically a bodyguard of sorts for the team. I only use myself as a shield for Temperance when seen as necessary."
"Check his ID." Seeley told as he tossed it to Temperance.
She opened the wallet and looked through it and found his ID.
"Ashley you might want to release him."
"Can I ask why?"
"His name's Tovar Comara. He's security at the Venezuelan embassy." She told making me instantly let go and take my foot off of him.
"If he's security, why'd he run?" Seeley asked
"Also how fucked are we for beating this dude up?" I asked
"Should be fine." Seeley told
"Angie is gonna be pissed if I get arrested."We were sitting in the Ambassador's office and Temperance was able to find me an ice pack for my face so I mostly held it over my eye so Angie didn't kill me for getting hurt.
"What we would like to know is what Senor Comara was doing in Nestor's room?" Temperance asked
"I asked Senor Comara to go to Nestor's room to prove a point. That suicide was not the only possibility." The ambassador stated
"Prove that an outsider can get to your son." Seeley told
"The school informed me that Nestor's death was most certainly a suicide. That anything else was impossible." She told
"We proved them correct. I failed to escape without being detected." Comara told making me lower the ice pack.
"That's because you didn't time it correctly. Also you assume they didn't plan it in advance and studied people walking about. Also doing it while an investigation is happening tends to allow you to get caught easier. There was no investigation before his death." I told
"How does she know that?" Seeley quietly asked Temperance.
"To do with her past job."
"Trust me. Someone with my skills can get in and out without being caught." I told
"The school lied to you Ambassador." Temperance stated.
"Dr. Brennan already declared your son's death a homicide." Seeley added
"I apologize. I was misinformed." She told
"I won't be pressing any charges." Seeley stated
"Thank you." She told
"That girl that they have. She would be great at protecting people." Comara told her.
"I'm not for hire." I told before security guards entered the room.
"Please excuse me." She told before leaving with them
"Do you think Nestor was killed by outsiders?" Temperance asked Comara.
"Not Venezuelan insurgents. They would make a statement. Not fake a suicide. This hanging." He told before sniffing. "Willa mala."
"Hmm." She said back as he left.
'Something seems wrong with this.'
"Sure, you know someone says, you know, it smells in a Spanish accent and all of a sudden you're like, hmm interesting." Seeley said to her before looking towards me. "What's with the face your pulling?"
"It doesn't seem correct. I would like to test if I can get in and out without anyone catching me." I told
"You think you could do what he couldn't?" He asked
"I think Ashley could manage." Temperance told.
"I would like to rule it out as an option."
"Then let's get what you need to do it." He told as we left.
'This is gonna be interesting.'
