"I may not understand, but I sympathize with you."

Heather stepped into the small room, Mrs. Torrell turning to her. "How you doing?" Heather questioned softly.

"Uh... I'm fine. Uh, I'm here to see Agent Rossi." Mrs. Torrell says, her tone showing her grief, but she was still trying to keep it together.

"He's going to be with you in just a few minutes. I'm Agent Heather King." Heather says as she holds out her hand, Mrs. Torrell grasping it in a firm shake.

"Oh, I'm Kiersten Torrell. Uh... My husband Tony was killed last night." Mrs. Torrell says, Heather's eyes softening.

"I know. And I'm very sorry. May I sit down?" Heather questioned, not moving until she received the 'okay' from the woman.

"Oh, yeah." Mrs. Torrell says, Heather walking towards the chair next to her, pulling it out and sitting down, shifting to sit in front of Mrs. Torrell.

"Are- are you working on his case?" The woman questioned Heather who nodded. "Yes, I am." Heather says which made Mrs. Torrell let out an exhale.

"Is there a picture of him in your folder? I want to see him." Mrs. Torrell says, Heather grabbing the file and placing it in her lap, out of sight.

"Kiersten, uh, your husband was very badly burned. I don't think that's a good idea." Heather says as she frowns.

"What do you mean, he was burnt?" Mrs. Torrell questioned, Heather letting out a soft sigh. "The person who did this uses fire as a weapon." Heather says after a pause, Mrs. Torrell's face dropping.

"Was Tony set on fire alive?" Mrs. Torrell questions, her voice wavering. "We don't know that-" "Oh, my God." Mrs. Torrell says, Heather's heart dropping in sadness for the woman.

"Oh, my God, this can't be happening." Mrs. Torrell cries softly as she tried to hold herself. "Next week was our anniversary." The woman says softly, tears pooling in her eyes.

"I'm so sorry." Heather says, her voice showing her compassion for the woman. "Are you married?" Mrs. Torrell questioned, the blonde shaking her head.

"No, I'm not, and I can't possibly imagine what you're going through right now.  But everything you tell us can help us find the person who did this to Tony." Heather says softly towards the woman.

"I know this is hard, but I want you to try to remember that when you're talking to Agent Rossi." Heather says softly, Mrs. Torrell humming, more tears falling down her face.

"I'm so sorry." Heather says softly as she stands up, as she walked out, Rossi walked in. The blonde walked into the office and sat in her chair.

"You okay?" Emily questioned, Heather nodding. "I feel so bad for her." Heather says softly, Emily walking over and wrapping her arms around her neck from behind.
