"Looks like you're going to meet the whole gang." Mike murmured to Bex as he waved to Laurel through the conference room window. "Come find me after you're done and I'll walk with you back towards your office." He smiled, giving her shoulder a squeeze and waving towards Laurel before leaving.
Bex wanted to tell him that she didn't need an escort but given the circumstances, she could see why he wanted to make sure she got back safely. Even if she understood, didn't mean she stopped the small sigh from escaping as she followed Laurel to the conference room. "I take it, that offer's not normal?" Laurel asked her.
Bex chuckled, shaking her head a bit. "No, it's not but after the case I just got back from, I can see why his protective side is a bit more on display."
"I got to admit, it's a bit weird to see. I've really only experienced when he's working." She slightly lied but Bex didn't need to know that.
The blonde shrugged. "We promised to always watch each other's back so this isn't my first time seeing it but I am surprised he showed it so freely. He usually likes to keep things compartmentalized." Bex too lied but Laurel didn't need to know that.
Laurel introduced Bex to Rochelle and Gustav before they all sat at the table. Bex did her best to not focus on the intense stare Gustav was giving her so she hoped that she could win him over at some point. He seemed the most skeptical of her presence than the other two in the room. "So I know that the DEA and the FDA aren't happy with this blood pressure medication cover up of these incidents. The FBI is looking into it being a potential terrorist attack but there's nothing really backing that theory up so I've been brought in as a fresh pair of eyes to see if there's anything else we can look into."
"You're not finding anything because you're helping to cov -" Gustav began before Rochelle hit his chest, making him stop.
"We have been looking into other options since my father wasn't on any of those medications and wouldn't have been involved in anything that the FBI is looking into. However, the options we're looking at, others have dismissed or simply laughed at despite some evidence." Rochelle further explained.
"I just caught a serial killer who would kill to help tell stories to his dead children. Nothing can phase me." Bex said, hoping they would tell her their theory.
All three just looked at her, eyes wide and mouths slightly open. "Damn." Gustav breathed out before nudging Rochelle. He couldn't even be upset that they brought someone from the homicide unit to investigate this.
Laurel's shocked look quickly turned into one of amazement. Here this woman was having faced a serial killer head on. She looked across to Rochelle and nodded her head. Bex could be brought into their bug theory.
