"So y'll are telling me this is the firearm rafe cameron killed peterkin with?" shoupe asked after jj placed the gun over his desk

"that's exactly what we're telling you, shoupe" jj answered

"and the exact same firearm that ward just used to kill gavin" pope added

"i-and where's that corpse again?" shoupe questioned

"didn't you look?" kie asked shocked

"i checked the hospital. i went by his house. he was out" shoupe answered

"he's not out! he's fucking dead!" jo yelled

"just because he's not in his damn home does not mean he was a victim of a homicide" shoupe said as jj walked back and forth in the room

"what are you talking about?!" jo yelled

"are you at least gonna send it in for ballistics and shit, or are you just gonna sit on your ass?" kie snapped

"he'll sit there and wax that mustache. is that even real?" jj yelled getting really mad

"i'll wax this-" shoupe yelled and stood up

"shut up, jj!"

"oh, i'm sorry. did i hurt his feelings?" jj said as shoupe walked to the door

"shut up!"

shoupe opened the door of his office "get out. i got work to do"

"are you serious?"

pope hit the desk. jo was trying to think clear but the possibility of not having back john b and sarah was making her blood boil in her veins

"y'all are smelling up my damn office"

"is that what you care about? you selfish asshole!" jo yelled

"hey, don't make me call you fucking mother or you're gonna regret that" shoupe said pointing to her

"did ward bribe you? this doesn't make any sense" kie said as she walked past shoupe out of the office

"you ain't gonna do shit" jj deadpanned as he walked out without looking at shoupe

"we brought you the murder weapon. there's no logical reason for you not to send it in" pope said and walked out but he stopped when he didn't hear jo following him. she was there in the middle of the office, her eyes shocked and full of tears

"do you have any idea how it feels to be without two of the people that you love the most in whole world?" she asked shoupe but he didn't answer "do you?!" she yelled
