The moment Bex saw that Laurel had been brought into questioning, she pulled Marchant to the side. She was pissed that they were going to such drastic and near inhumane measures to get to the bottom of this. "I know what you saw this morning is terrible, but you can't seriously be okay with this."
"Agent Morris, I saw a man's head explode before my very eyes. These are becoming more frequent so drastic measures must be taken especially since the senator on my ass about closing this case witnessed the same thing this morning. Unless Warren has magically gotten any further and has a solid proof that this is an Area 51 case, then we've got to move forward." Marchant ordered much to the dismay to his agent.
"I've made contact with her before and she complied with all the questions I asked her. Can I at least speak with her first?"
Marchant sighed, knowing that Bex wouldn't give up on making sure all of this was right. "You and Agent Blades have been level headed throughout this entire thing. Wherever he goes, you go. That's the best I can offer."
Bex took what she could get and nodded. When they rejoined the group she leaned against the desk next to Blades. "Are you okay with this?" She leaned over and whispered.
"Not exactly." He replied.
"Can I be the one to take her into the room?"
Blades looked over at her with a raised eyebrow.
"I'm not going to do anything to compromise this."
He nodded and looked back to the screen where they were broadcasting a surveillance video of Laurel. "Just don't do anything stupid to be taken off this case. It's nice to work with someone intelligent again." He said, making a jab at Onofrio.
Bex smirked, nodding her head as she returned her focus back to the group conversation.
"She's going to say that I assaulted her." Onofrio said after Marchant got the all clear from the doctor that Laurel was stable enough for the enhanced questioning techniques.
Everyone turned to look at him in shock. "Is that where you actually got the bruising from?" Bex asked once she got her voice back from being stunned.
"No. I just thought I'd warn you because she's been lying this whole time. I know how you women like to stick together." He gave her a pointed look.
Onofrio was extremely close to receiving another black eye. He even moved slightly back as Bex pushed herself up so she could head into the waiting room. "Oh, I'll show you how women stay together." She said before rushing to the room.
The men scrambled to catch up with her but by the time they got there, she had already reached Laurel's side. When Laurel saw that Onofrio was in the room, she looked up at Bex, fear written all over her face. "No, he attacked me. Whatever he's told you, he's lying."
