Giovanni's
(after Lorraine's return to the asylum)

I drove back to the FBI HQ to talk to Rami and saw her talking to Ashley and Poulter.

"Good morning." I greeted them.

"Morning." They all replied.

Rami cleared her throat. "We we're just talking about the possible suspects for Victor's attempted murder." Rami sighed.

My brows furrowed. "Suspects? You found another suspect other than Kelly?" I asked.

Ashley nodded. "I found a strand of hair belonging to a woman. It was dyed violet, so I bet this belongs to a woman." She lifted the ziplock containing the strand of hair.

"I will examine it later. As soon as my food arrived." She smiled.

"Violet hair... Maybe that belongs to one of the nurses or doctors? Or the previous patients who stayed in that room?" I asked.

Rami shooked her head. "No. That's quite impossible. There are no nurses and doctors in that hospital with violet hair. And they found the strand of hair on Victor's face. The hair must've fell on his face when she reached for the IV fluid and injected the poison." Rami said.

"Oh! Here comes my food!" Ashley exclaimed. "I'll run my tests after I ate this." She ran towards her lab, burgers in hand.

Ashley's

I munched down my food for only 5 minutes, that's how hungry I am.

"Ugh. I never thought that being a forensic scientist can be so hard!" I groaned and grabbed my water.

I drank the bottle empty and shoot it in the garbage can.

I wore gloves and opened the ziplock to get the hair and began to examine it.

Let's see if I can get some DNA out of you.

Rami's

"We still don't know who did this to Victor. But I have my sources." I smirked. "I acquired these informations a few hours ago."

Giovanni looked confused. "What did they told you? Who do you think did this to him?" He asked.

"One of the McArthurs. Specifically, Rosaline McArthur" I said, smirking.

Giovanni chuckled. "Seriously? Well, that kinda make sense, Victor left Rosaline, remember?" He joked.

"Yeah, I know." I rolled my eyes and smiled. "He used her as his rebound to forget me." I chuckled.

Giovanni laughed. "True. But that's a big accusation, Rami. Rosaline won't do that just because he broke her heart."

"But she might do that if her father told her so." I said, making him look at me.

"Yeah, she's her father's pet. But what makes you think Mr. McArthur would tell her that? What's the point?" He asked.

I gave him the folder my source gave me. "Here, take a look at this."

He took the folder and read it.

He lifted his head and looked at me."Who's your source?" He asked.

"The grand daughter of Mr. Jon Lance himself, your ex Caitlyn." I smirked.

Giovanni's eyes widened. "Caitlyn?!" He scoffed. "Don't you trust that bitch! Maybe she made this up or something. I don't trust her."

I glared at him. "Look at the documents, Giovanni. That fucking contract they made, look at the signatures, do they look fake to you? Those are obviously true. I even asked her mother, Jon Lance's daughter, a few hours ago. She confirmed that it was true." I rolled my eyes.

"How did she know about Victor's case. How did she become your source?" Giovanni asked.

"Because of me."

Giovanni's

I turned around and faced the devil himself.

"Kevin, you son of a bitch." I clenched my fist and stood up, ready to punch his life out of him.

He's one of the reasons why Lorr and I broke up...

"Chill, Tiger. I'm not here to start a fight. I just want to help." Kevin lifted his hands and backed off.

Rami grabbed me by the arm and pushed me back.

"And why do you want to help him now, huh?" I taunted him but Rami stopped me from punching him.

"Back off, Giovanni. He's an officer here."

I scoffed. "Wow! An officer?! I'm surprised he even passed!" I spat.

Rami shook her head and sighed. "He already changed for fuck's sake, stop this quarrel! If you don't trust him, then don't." Rami hissed.

"Just be grateful that they gave us information. And if Rosaline really is responsible for Victor's near death, then she'll be imprisoned." Rami rolled her eyes.

"He was my best friend, Giovanni. Don't you forget that." Kevin said then left.

Rami's

"For fuck's sake, Giovanni. Control your temper." I sighed.

Then, I saw Will walking towards us.

"Here's the DNA sample from the hair you made me examine few hours ago." He gave me the sample and left.

I saw Giovanni looked at me in confusion. "And whose DNA is that?" He asked.

"I accidentally bumped into Rosaline few hours ago." I smirked.

Giovanni rolled his eyes. "Accidentally? Or you really intended to bump into her?" He rolled his eyes.

"After I got the files from Caitlyn, I hid them here and tracked down where Rosaline might be." I grinned.

"Where? Venus Spa and Salon?" Giovanni joked.

I nodded. "See? She wasn't that hard to track!" I chuckled. "Since college until now, she still goes there, like everyday." I chuckled.

"Actually, I haven't seen her face because she covered it, God knows why, but I read the log book. I found her name. She's in room 04." I smiled.

"And luckily, she's the only one in the room getting a nice short hair cut." I smirked evilly. "Every one around her was getting their nails done, so I already know it was her."

Giovanni laughed. "And when the people getting their nails done left and there was no one around, you cut her hair or something?" He guessed.

"I didn't cut her hair. I pulled her hair." I smiled.

Giovanni laughed. "Oh, no! Good thing she doesn't saw you. Such a miracle you escaped her." Giovanni laughed.

"She was furi--"

"Guys! I had the DNA sample!" Ashley yelled from the lab that made us run towards her.

Ashley's

They sprinted towards my lab.

"All we need is a DNA sample from the possible suspect to compare it to the DNA sample we got from the hair." I smiled at them.

Rami lifted something and offered it to me.

I furrowed my brows in confusion. "What's that?" I asked.

"The DNA sample from the possible suspect." Rami smirked.

I chuckled. "That's fast." I smiled as I carefully placed the two DNA samples into the microscope.

Giovanni's

We watched Ashley as she examined the two DNA samples.

Then she lifted her head, looked at us with a smile on her face and chuckled.

"It's a match."
