Brooklyn

Eventually leaving the confines of the man I was falling for, and my now boss, I sat back at my computer. Listening to Kim tell me some info they found, sets of footsteps made their way up the stairs. Turning slightly with a look of confusion, my eyes widened slightly at the sight of Mr. Greyln being escorted by Jay.

Crossing my arms over my chest, our suspect eyed me, looking up and down my body. A wave of uneasiness washed through me. Pursing my lips, I glanced at Jay. Noticing the way our suspect was staring at me, I almost gasped in shock when Jay squeezed the back off his neck. Dragging him to one of the rooms in the back hallways, I made eye contact with Kim. "Does that happen with every suspect"

"Not every suspect". Sighing in relief I swiveled the chair back around to face my computer. Typing away on the laptop, a few of my databases came up empty or had no relevant information. Starting a whole new scan on the boy in the interrogation room with Jay, I tried to find some sort of connection between our victim and him.

Searching through the school records having a feeling of finding nothing, I found myself proven wrong when I ran a scan.  Boxes appearing around two familiar names.  Blinking a few times to make sure what I saw was correct, I smirked slightly.

"Our DOA and suspect went to high school together, or more specifically an All-Boys Catholic School". I spoke out from my seat when everyone was  in the bullpen. "He was expelled when he tried to strangle a fellow a student. That student being none other than our own...."

"Our victim. How did you figure that out". Biting my lip nervously I looked towards the ground.  I Lifting my head I saw expectant looks on everyone's face, laughing hesitantly I moved my screen. Watching the video I found, the one that I had to hack into the school mainframe to find evidence on why he was suspended.

Each and every person looked at me with a hint of shock, and fear. "What did you do to find that"

Trying not to make direct eye contact with Hank "Well you see the school locked the records, and I being a curious person had to find a way around the system to figure out why. Well a few codes later I found that, buried like 6 feet under."

"So you hacked into the school mainframe."

"More or less." Finally looking at the boss man, a hint of proudness was in his eyes even if the rest of him didn't exactly portray the same emotion.

Watching as Jay and Kevin went to go interrogate the suspect, Kim and Hailey took a trip to the all boys school to see if the head master would give them more information. To see if that was a one time occurrence or if it has happened multiple. I would check but there was only one incident in his file.

Stopping slightly, I started to type in our DOA's school records. Opening or hacking into his encrypted file, I was blown away by all the offenses this kid had. All being pretty graphic offenses or reports. We are looking at all of this wrong, grabbing my phone I called Kim before making my way down the hallway. "What's up Brooke"

"I need you to ask the headmaster about our DOA, I found some information that will give us the motive"

Knocking on the Interrogation room door, I made sure I was in a spot where I wouldn't see anything. Poking his head out Jay looked a little stunned to see me. "I got something and it might change the whole case"

Quickly grabbing Kevin, the two taller, muscular men followed me to the bullpen where Adam and Hank were waiting. "I have Kim and Hailey confirming this for me but I just hacked into our DOA's encrypted school file. He raped several students at the All Boy School. One being our suspect."

Moving my screen so they could see, I saw Hank's jaw clench. "You think he got expelled because he tried to confront the kid, got caught on camera". As I confirmed Hailey and Kim walked back upstairs.

"Brooklyn's right, they covered it up, didn't want him to ruin the school reputation". Sighing in relief that I didn't mess this whole thing up, we all looked towards Hank for what to do.

He assigned jobs before motioning me over to him. Bounding over the hazel eyed man, he wrapped his hand in mine. A small kiss was placed on my cheek, not wanting to show to much PDA in front of the others. We both want to take our time. "You did good Darling"

"Hopefully I didn't sound to pushy or anything, I just wanted to make sure what I found was right" . His  gravelly voice let out a small chuckle.

Caressing my cheek with his hand, his lips touched my forehead. "If you have a lead, follow it". Standing next to the man, we watched as Ruzek and Burgess walked out of the interrogation hallway with the suspect in handcuffs. He may have been a victim but he did commit murder.

Noticing the guys eyes on me once again, I shuffled closer to Hank. Helping the others clean off the board, my lover went back into his lair, to do who knows what.

Messing around with crew, all of us joking around, making fun of Adam I heard my phone chime in my pocket. Pulling it out to see who it was, I frowned when I saw it was from my landlord. He was getting on my case about the rent. The sleazy man wanted more money than what the apartment was worth and I was the only tenant who would fall for his tricks.

Rolling my eyes, I left the text on read, not really wanting to deal with his nonsense at the moment. Hearing the door open behind me, Hank walked out. Dismissing the others, I entered his office. "What are we doing tonight Hank"

Wrapping his arms around my waist, he laid his head on my shoulder. "What ever you want Darling". Grinning like an idiot, I turned my head so I could kiss his cheek.

Just as I did, he twirled my body so I was looking directly at him. Cupping my face in his rough, loving hands, a passionate kiss is what met my lips. Wrapping my hands around his neck, my body was pulled closer to his as I kissed back with as much passion.

I could feel my heart starting to pound against my chest. Blood rushing to my cheeks as Hank's hands wandered my body.

Pulling away from each other, I rested my head against his forehead, the two of us enjoying the moment.

Brooke and Hank are such an odd couple which makes me love them even more.
