Warning: Mention of suicide and spoilers for the original Criminal Case in the beginning (I know about these because I've spoiled myself on the wiki but just in case there are people reading this that like me got into this series through a different game, I'm just warning you all now). There may be some whiplash because we go from a really sad moment, to a happy moment but I hope you all enjoy regardless <3

Carmen and Grace sat in a conference room in front of a pin board attempting to put the pieces together.
They were trying to figure out who would've wanted to assassinate Chief Ripley.
But in truth, they were doing busy work to distract themselves. Because their flight to Morocco wouldn't be able to fly anyone out for a few days (they had just had a layover to get back to the main headquarters), Carmen and Grace—everyone else on the Bureau's team—we're sitting ducks.
"I just...I still can't believe she gone!" Carmen explains unprovoked, frustrated by what they had just experienced. Grace nods silently, not offering another opinion.
"I wish this was the first time this has happened." Grace says, instead, ominously. Carmen stares at her, but doesn't otherwise provoke her to say anything. Grace sighs, thinking about what to say next.
"When I first became a detective at Grimsborough, I was under the leadership of Captain Samuel King. He was a good captain, I admired him...until he was accused of killing one of our suspects. My partner, David, refused to believe. I did too. But then he confessed and soon we couldn't deny the truth anymore. He...he shot himself in the head. And I...I wish this didn't happen so often, you know?" Grace finishes, looking over at Carmen and trying not to cry.
Carmen doesn't say anything, just nods and squeezes Grace's shoulder.
The detective doesn't tell her partner about all the other deaths she experienced. The death of her last partner Frank and all the gruesome murders she's had to witness.
But Grace knows that Carmen probably already knows enough about gruesome murders and the evil people who make them.
And there are just some things that Grace will to the grave.

Gretta finds Elliot in the Tech Room, staring intently at the computer screen.
"Hey." He greets her without looking away. "Hey," she sits down and peers at his expression, "you going to be okay?" Elliot pauses in what he's doing to think about that and then shrugs. "I don't know. I don't think anyone is okay with what happened." Gretta nods in agreement. "Yeah...you're probably right."
It goes quiet after that, the two unable to think of what to say yet.
"Hey Gretta?" Elliot asks after a few minutes. "Hm?" "Thanks...for uh...asking about me." Gretta shrugs casually. "It's nothing. You've done the same for me in the past. Figure I'd return the favor." She says, a small smile gracing her lips.
