interrogation
2000 FIB HQ Boston.
Lara tapping one fingernail the wooden table not caring not careful about mental I was didn't survive digging around crime scenes for clues. She kept them longer just enough to put a I'm boring and have can she has someone in custody. Can you help me the date today the federal Forest the subject had come to the police station of his own. That's how she found herself sitting in the interrogation room together with the subject. As she has done before many times just not like this.
" so, you're saying this is just oversight" she asked, looking at the man across the table from her. say just finished the case a cook had been accused of murdering navy officer and dumping his body. At frist the evidence pointed squarely at the Cook, but it turns out there was planted more evidence plenty more evidence, evidence this man SSA Fuller had apparently totally ignored in order to push what is a agenda.
So, Lara has been asked to conduct the interview with him, to find out why he failed so spectacularly?
"That's right, just a mistake, it won't happen again" Fuller couldn't look at her, hadn't since she walked in. Which tells her pretty much all she needed to know but superiors will need more.
"This case was a murder, a brutal murder of one of our real life Heroes. A mistake is not noticing a tiny drop of blood or asking the wrong questions in interrogation. But this how do you mistakely miss this" she sucked a photo across the table show me a sea of blood soaked into the carpet in the corridor turn it up to Observation Deck. But he refused to look at is body language has all tense and closed arms crossed legs crossed in hate against the chair and eyes cast down.
"we didn't think it was part of the crime scene" Fuller said.
"Did you look and come to that conclusion you just make assumptions?" Lara asked.
"we assumed" he said, Lara couldn't believe what she was hearing, out of all the supervisor she never thought Fuller would make such a bone headed mistake. The man was stickler for the rules and regulation, turn into please put the littlest mistakes under his supervision. you just couldn't understand what made so recklessly stupid.
"so you didn't investigate the crime, you simply looked for ties to the suspect to the victim because that's what you wanted it to be". she couldn't completely keep the discussed from her voice. is stare at the world and reply, "I'm not the only one to do that".
She raise a eyebrow but didn't answer, play quickly corrected himself "I didn't mean you some of the these other junior agents" slightly blushing. Lara, knew he probably wasn't wrong but it was something that she never happened in her team, she was a stickler checking and re-checking every fact before signing off on anything the Juniors work.
"Did you even go with your team to the crime scene to super their work?" Lara asked.
Fuller hesitates for a split second, which was the match but it was enough he said "no not really sorry" She didn't believe that for a second.
He's gone to the crime scene, but did not look around at all so not considered it potential crime scene that's just didn't fitting with what she knew of him. Granted he had a beef with the cook, enough that he took the opportunity for payback.
Lara, couldn't believe that he pacifically sought out evidence that implicate the cook, but would he have no everything else in pursuit of that? She couldn't separate this man that sat before her from the man that she knew. the one thing that bothered her WHY?
Fullers financial have not changed, no has your spouse suddenly infatuated money. So, money was not the motive here. the beef he has with the cook, Lieutenant McKean, wasn't not big enough for something like this to frame him for murder and jeopardise his entire career. So, what is the motive here? Could it be that what's protecting the mystery individual that was not identified at the crime scene.
"who is it? who was in the crime scene that you are protecting?" she demanded.
He kept his mouth shut, just staring at the wall. " if there is no explanation you can give us listen to the inside and powerful reassign to repeat such a spectacular breakdown of Justice" she and the interview.
however when she got up to leave when her hand was on the handle of the door, she added, "All the evidence have been transferred to the NCIS headquarters crime lab. Abbey Prosciutto, she's really good at what she does it's just matter of time before she finds the identity of the mystery person that you're protecting. when that happens I'll be coming back to the rest of your phone interfering letter Navy investigation." Lara stood to leave...
