GRACE PRACTICALLY SKIPS INTO THE KITCHEN, she was in a really good mood after what she had just found out. She hadn't smiled this much since... Well, it had been quite a while. She noticed Elijah was sitting at the counter, not really paying attention to those around him. She moves over to him, wrapping her arms around the man's neck from behind. "Good morning, Elijah." She says with a smile and the man turns his head a little bit, furrowing his eyebrows but he offers a kind smile back.
"Good morning, Grace." Elijah responds as the girl lets go of him and makes her way to the cupboards. He watches as she takes out a mug and a bowl. "Why are you so chipper?" He asks her as she was way too happy in the morning. Usually she's moping or staying in bed until way past noon. "Wait, let me guess. You had sex?" Elijah taunts as he rolls his eyes playfully. He had heard the conversation she had with Hayley back when they had first found out about Celeste.
"The other night." Grace says with a shrug as that was not what she was happy about. She would have a glow to her if it was. "That's not what I'm happy about." She admits and he only raises an eyebrow, watching her pour her cereal.
"Do tell." He says as he rests his arms against the counter.
"I finally found the murder weapon I needed to one hundred percent get a conviction on my suspect." She says, feeling a sense of pride fill her. After so many months, she had finally figured it out.
Grace couldn't find any aliases in his name or any evidence that he left it in his house. But what she never thought of, was the neighbors. Usually, you're just casual with the people who live next door, the odd conversation, being friendly. But Grace found out that the man who lived next door was an ex-con. One who had spent several years in prison alongside one of the suspects childhood best friends. They were also cellmates. So, grace was able to track down the records of calls going in and out of the prison. There wasnt anything too concrete but they had enough for a warrant. Lucky enough, they had found the gun hidden amongst the man's other weapons.
Apparently, the suspect had tasked him with disposing of the gun but since the man had so many, he had gotten rid of the wrong one. Karma at it's finest. So now, the family was finally going to get the justice they deserve with no hesitation. No holes could be poked into the case anymore as they had the murder weapon with the suspects prints on it.
"Congratulations." Elijah responds as he knew she was having difficulty with it for a while now.
"Thank you." She replies with a smile before sighing and pouring the milk in her bowl. "I have to go back for my trial in a few weeks." Grace states as she had spent so long trying to find the murder weapon that the trial had gotten closer than she thought.
