CHAPTER EIGHTEEN || JAY
Some guy, Tej sits at my desk in the bullpen, his fingers moving robotically against the keyboard trying to find something. Apparently teaming up with Hobb's group is the fastest way to get her back, but I don't see that. We don't know them, so why should we trust them?
I huff out a sigh looking down at Brian who leans against Ash's desk rubbing his forehead, looking at me he sends my a glare as if this is my fault. It partially could be, but I wasn't the one she was going to meet when she was taken.
"Got something to say? Say it." Brian states angrily looking at me. Most of intelligence look at me, the tension and anger in the room palpable. He's been giving me that fucking stink eye since he got here, and I've damn well had enough.
"Alright, I'll bite." I scoff, stepping away from the guy sat at my desk and closer to Brian. "You were meeting her! Didn't you think to meet her outside?! You got a box too, not like you didn't know someone was after her."
"Ain't you a detective man? Make yourself helpful rather than blaming me!" Brown stands, anger radiating off him. Oh how badly I wish he could snap.
"Hold on. The footage outside Molly's. I slowed it down, adjusted and I've got a tattoo." Tej breaks the tension with information. I lose all interest in Brian in half a second and make my way over to the computer.
Dom peers over my shoulder at the image on the screen before muttering, "Holy Shit."
"What?" I question desperately, "you know him?"
"Theo Warren." Dom announces, i try to think if I've ever even heard that name before but my mind comes up blank.
"Who's that?" I ask, watching Dom, Letty and Brian share a glance before letty walks over to Tej whispering something in his ear.
"Who's Theo?!" I question angrily, there's no need for this. We all want the same thing. Ash back, safe and unharmed.
Letty, Rome And Dom turn to leave, Tej quickly following behind only igniting anger deep within me. They give me a bad feeling, no respect especially not for law enforcement. And this, well. Id love to take them downstairs to the cage, not them... just Brian. All three of them ignore me, and my blood boils.
"He asked you a question. We all want to find her, but we do it together." Antonio stops Dom in his tracks.
"I don't know about ya'll, but they're cop cops. I'm out." Roman scoffs trying to walk past Antonio only for Dom to pull him back.
"Yo! Be careful!" A shocked look emerges on Roman's face at Dom's actions. Then came Voight's booming voice.
"Atwater! Burgess! Go to Ash's apartment, roll the crime lab. See if you can find anything out of place. And you." Voight turns to look at Roman, Tej, Letty and Dom. "if you want my teams help, they're resources, to find Ashley and solve this case. You will respect my detectives!"
I freeze, Voight doesn't know.
"Whoever took her was in her apartment, trashed her bedroom. No one's been there since she got back." I announce, my eyes closing in dread.
"Why didn't you say?!" Brian shouts.
"I stayed at hers last night, she was planning to stay with me until the case is officially closed." I knew she'd be pissed if I went behind her back again, if I told anyone about the things she'd told me. Well now it's biting me in the ass.
"Unbelievable." Brian scoffs, anger lacing is voice completely.
"I've got two locations." Tej's voice once again breaks the tension.
