Case Closed {Mike Warren}

All On the Same Page

AN: I know it's been awhile. Life got a little busy there. I also know that there are currently not any gifs as I usually do but I'm just so excited to finally get this all out to you that I am planning on coming back at a later time to add those gifs. For now enjoy the rest of the story and thank you all so much for your patience and love you've shown for this!

The next morning, she hand delivered her update to Blades. "I feel like I should really be taking this to Marchant but I also feel like the answer you're about to give me is keeping me from that."

"And what answer is that?" He asked as he looked over the file.

"Do I have enough evidence for us to storm these locations?"

The silence was tense as Bex anxiously awaited his response. Blades meticulously looked over every detail and then let out a sigh. He didn't like the look of things either and he would be more than happy to get a team together but Bex's assumption was correct.

"Sadly, no and then there's not really another way for you to get more unless you go deep undercover but we need you here, rather than trapped like Warren. Get me more information and I'll help you present your case to Marchant."

Bex nodded. "What I thought. Thanks, Blades."

The rest of the day didn't turn out much of anything. She kept looking into the locations but nothing was coming up that she hadn't already found. Not to mention how the special prosecutor along with yet another one of Red's interns had somehow gone missing. She really wanted to butt her nose into that investigation but Marchant had shot her down, telling her that she already had one too many hands in the pot. So she stayed on course.

She had just pulled out a full tray of cookies from the oven when there was a knock on her door. Baking helped her think and she was frustrated about everything so she hoped it would help her see something she had somehow missed. "Just a minute!" She called out, setting the cookie sheet down and taking off her oven mit. She picked up the knife she had been using earlier to cut the dough and made her way to the door.

Seeing Mike on the other side, Bex let out a relieved sigh as she opened the door. That is until she saw his expression. "What's happened?"

He motioned for them to go inside and Bex nodded before heading back to the kitchen. "I've made cookies. You want one?"

"I honestly don't know if I can eat after what I just saw." Mike answered, sitting down at her kitchen island bar.

"What did you see?"

Mike gagged a little bit which caused Bex to pour him a glass of water. He took it gratefully, taking a few sips before continuing. "I saw a bug, a big bug, laying eggs in some cherry blossoms. Red was talking to it and then it went right back in his ear after it was done as if it was the most normal thing in the world."

Bex dashed out into her living room and grabbed her notepad and started writing everything down. "We might need to figure out a way to finally get Laurel to bring you on board because this is huge."

"This is the craziest thing I've seen. Bex, we were just working a mafia case a few months ago and now we're talking about space bugs living in people's heads."

"You sure you don't want a cookie?"

He let out a sigh. "I'll take a cookie."

Smiling, she took one off the sheet and handed it over before getting one for herself. "I know it's insane but we gotta look at this as all factual stuff, like putting together an info board as if we were trying to take down another mafia family. It makes investigating a little easier."
