Another Moment

-7-

Another week had passed and the case around the death of Megan Miller still remained unsolved. Other than that, there was an uncomfortable tension building up between Sienna and Luke.

Since the incident at the police department in McLean, no one dared to talk about the case, Scott or Sienna's outburst. More so, Sienna tried to distance herself from everyone, even her father. She got more distant; the nightmares only got worse and the panic attacks happened more frequent. One time, they got so out of hand that Luke had to ask Spencer to come over and help him. Luke was desperate to help his daughter who was clearly suffering, but he was also frustrated that she did not talk to him. Either way, he gave her as much space as she needed and he made sure that she knew that he was there for her when she needed him.

Sienna appreciated all of what her Dad has done and would continue to do for her. Right now, she only needed to go through this alone. The words of Scott kept replaying in her head, day in, day out. I'm only getting started. What did he mean by that? Could it really get worse? The young girl was too confused with everything. Her blood was still boiling inside of her when she thought about the words of Detective Vertes. How could he possibly assume that she would be capable of such a cruel act? How could he be so blind to seewho the real criminal was when he had been right in front of him? They would never get the guy they were looking for if they kept looking at things that way.

Sienna felt so lost. What could she do to make them all realize who this man really was?

"And they still have no clue who's behind all of this?", Tara asked as she took a sip of her coffee. She and the rest of the team had, once again, met at the desk of Luke, enjoying a little coffee brea after finishing what felt like the thousand case report. Luke shook his head.

"No, I feel like they lost the effort to actually work the case. I mean, how easy was it to blame all of this on Sienna just because her relationship to Megan hasn't been the best lately."

"How could they even possibly think that she could manipulate a car?! She is 16!", Matt stated. Luke had called him the evening they had returned to Quantico and after Sienna had went to bed. To say, he had been shocked would be the understatement of the year. As a father of 4 and since he was close to the young girl, he was angry, mad even; angry at the police officer for making the girl feel even more guilty and worse, but also at Scott. Who was this creep anyway?!

"I don't know. What I do know is that I have never seen my daughter like that. She was so furious and different...she was screaming at everyone, but she also looked so hurt and it pained me so much to see her like this. And then, there was Scott...", Luke said, looking at his team members.

"I have a bad feeling about this guy, to be honest. He already seemed weird to me the day we met him at the funeral.", Rossi explained.

"Yeah...the way he looked at her gave me chills, but also the way Sienna tensed when she saw him had me kind of confused.", JJ agreed.

"Well...I also have this feeling that there is more about him than she's telling me. First of all, she always asks if he's gonna be there when we go to McLean. And then, she blocks everything and everyone one when it comes to talking about him. I once tried to talk to her about him, but shenever tells me much. When I had followed her after she had been running off during the interrogation, I saw her fighting with him, but I couldn't quite get what they were talking about. I just have this feeling that he might have something to do with the accident.", Luke expressed.

"Maybe...I could give it a try and talk to her. I mean, she already opened up once to me. Maybe we'll be lucky again.", Matt offered.

"If you wouldn't mind...I don't know what else to tell her than that she can trust me and talk to me about anything. I...just don't get through to her.", Luke admitted sadly.
