Day 8 : Favorite couple

Amy Santiago and Jake Peralta
( No, I won't explain)

_____________________

Amy brushed her eyes to keep her away and dive into her file again, to look for any other clue that can lead this case in any direction. Desperate to look for the missing piece of puzzle, Amy has decided to throw her sleep, food, rest and everything else on the line which made Jake worried for her health, but he can understand the fever to solve the case, the thrill of solving it.

"Mind if I help you a bit?" Jake took the files from her, and started looking at the spiral file.

Amy smiled at him, looked past him to notice TJ sleeping peacefully in his crib, which made a sweet smile appear on her face.

"Have you talked to the neighbors?" Jake asked, still looking at the files.

"They were at the houseparty in the same neighbourhood. Didn't hear a thing."

"Any suspect?"

"A lot, no one liked him, either his job, family or his neighbour."

"Found any motive?"

"Nope, He was a simple man, with a rude snarky personality."

"Information about the place he visits often?"

"Only the grocery."

"What about fingerprints?"

"House was crystal clean"

"Any other marks on the body?"

"Nothing beside the stated ones."

"What about—"

"Past medical records are also clean."

"So, This is a dead end." Jake finally closed the file.

"Yup." Amy said in a defeated voice and laid back on the couch, distressed.

"Hmm," Jake sat down beside her.

Amy fixed her posture and looked at him smiling and sighed, "You found something didn't you?"

"I, for sure did." Jake said nonchalantly.

"And what's that?" Amy asked.

"Tell me that, 'I am the most amazing detective slash genius'."

"Are you thinking of checking the bank statement or insurance policy? Leave what we already did." Amy sold her statement out.

"I knew, you already did that. Who wouldn't think of that, when a semi rich man dies all of a sudden." Jake said in a wholesomeness, still confirming that his thought will lead her case to a bright side.

"Okay, Okay. Jake Peralta is an amazing detective slash genius"

"Aww, stop it. I know, I am that great, no need to point it out." Jake chimed in his appreciation, "Check the autopsy and the crime scene again, Dude was taking drugs. The marks on hand, can be understood by thinking someone tried to stop him,"

"And from the statements, his first child sounds a little bit susceptible." Amy caught the connection.

"First child hurting his own father? So magical." Jake said in apparent fascination, "for a movie plot."

She thanked him for his input, and rejoiced at the memory of them solving a case together, after such a long time.
