"Court, huh?" Elijah looked around as they stood outside the room.
"We better win this case." Fleur crossed her arms.
"We will. I won my last one." Elijah shrugged.
Currently, JJ was talking to the judges, everyone was waiting outside.
"Why aren't we in there?" Reid asked.
"They're just trying to intimidate us." Rossi shook his head.
"That's not about to happen." Fleur sighed.
"I'm not okay with this." Garcia told them.
"You may not even be a witness." Rossi assured her.
"Sir, I'm not worried about me." Garcia told him,"Don't they have anything better to do than.."
"Babygirl, this is just what they do." Morgan sighed.
That's when Strauss, who just got off the phone nearby, walked up to the group.
"Anything?" Rossi asked.
"It doesn't look good." She sighed.
"How long is she gonna be in there?" Reid tilted his head.

"Did you trust Agent Jareau?" Cramer looked up from the file.
"I did." Fleur nodded.
"But don't anymore." He tilted his head.
"I didn't say that." Fleur crossed her arms.
"You left her out but included Penelope Garcia, who you trust." Cramer nodded.
"That is not why."
"Isn't it?"
"Her specific skills were very helpful."
"For your vendetta." He pointed.
"For justice." Fleur scoffed.
Cramer leaned forward,"You don't believe in the system."
"lan Doyle wasn't at the top of anyone's list, Senator."
"Except yours." He sat down a photo of Doyle.
Fleur looked at the picture before sitting back.
"You watched Declan for two months." Cramer looked down at her.
"I knew if I could find him, it was only a matter of time before Doyle did." Fleur sighed.
"Around-the-clock surveillance requires constant presence."
"When I wasn't in the field, I was there. Me and my partner."
"And when you were both on a case?" He raised a brow.
"We set up pole cameras for surveillance."
"Under what authority, Agent?" Cramer asked.
"Senator, I needed to protect this child because I knew Doyle would find him eventually." Fleur explained.
A younger man passed Cramer a piece of paper before he contiued,"And what was your plan once you found lan Doyle?"
"Lock down security on his son and then move in on Doyle." Fleur answered.

"Have you ever been in the field?" Elijah looked up at Cramer.
"I have." Cramer nodded,"But I'm not the one on trial, Agent."
