Criminal Case Oneshots

My Heart Is Falling Apart (Part 2//Finale)

Elliot's POV

Jack and Carmen just got back from the crime scene. I looked through the photos they took, and wow their really gruesome. They were asleep when they were stabbed, so it was completely unexpected for them. Blood was everywhere... All over their bed, the walls, the carpet, and even the ceiling. Whoever did this is just heartless.

Benjamin's parents looked like perfect parents. They had a two-story house, two cars, nice jobs. Who would want to hurt them? I think to myself as Carmen and Jack walk into my lab. I put the pictures down on my desk and looked up at them expectantly. Surely one of them would speak to me. 

"Why are you looking at those pictures? Those are evidence."-Jack says

"I was just curious. Is that a problem?"

"Um yes...Those photographs...-"-Carmen whispers to Jack something and then punches him in the arm. 

"We need you to come with us to your apartment complex. We need you to give us directions."-Carmen adds a few minutes later.

"Oh...okay then."-I reply.

Carmen and Jack then walked out of the room, Jack holding the file of pictures tightly, while I followed them. We got into our squad car and I sat in the back. Jack sat in the passenger seat, while Carmen drove. 

"So where do we go?"-Carmen asks.

"Just drive straight and then make a left."-I reply nonchalantly. 

"Where do we turn left?"-Jack asks, sounding clueless. 

"Just drive straight for fifteen minutes, turn left after that, and you're there!"-I reply, annoyed. 

"Okay..."-Carmen replies, starting to drive. 

The drive there was silent, well except for other cars and the wind. Carmen focused on driving. Jack was on his phone, scrolling through Buzzer. I was looking out of the window, pondering to myself. I was thinking about how Benjamin was going to react. Did he already know? Am I going to be made a suspect? Is he going to be okay?

The car came to an abrupt stop. I was flung forward and hit my head on the headrest of Carmen's seat. I heard Jack stifle a laugh. 

"We're here"-Carmen says, smiling. 

I sighed and got out of the car. Carmen and Jack soon followed. They both walked next to me as I walked to the elevator. I pressed my floor button. I sigh. This is going to be so hard on him. I wouldn't wish this on anyone. Jack snapped his fingers in front of me, making me lose my thoughts.

"Are you going to help us, or not?"-Jack asks. 

"Yes...I was just thinking."-I mumble.

"About your precious boyfriend?"-He says, smirking.

"S-Shut up!"-I say, my voice raising.

"Can you two just focus for once?!"-Carmen says. 

We both go silent. You never want to get on her bad side. I step out of the elevator and stop in front of Benjamin's apartment. Carmen and Jack soon followed. I hope he's okay. 

"Wait...before you knock, can I get something from my apartment?"-I ask, having an idea. 

"Yeah, but make it quick!"-Carmen replies. 

I dig into my pockets, trying to find my key for my apartment. After a few seconds, I find it and open my apartment door. I walk in and walk to my bedroom. I grabbed a tissue box that sat on my nightstand and walked back outside. I hid the box behind me and Jack raised an eyebrow at me. I hope he doesn't ask about it. That would be embarrassing.
