EPISODE XV: LIE TO ME
Mac had left the house from the garage driving his
new car.
At home, Christine had just hung up the phone and
looked at the twins sleep peacefully in their cradles. She headed the closet
looking for an evening dress
"It will be the last time J.J.! Then you have
to let me live my life! "
She discarded a black dress and a white one, it
remained one purple and one red. She looked at the tag hanging on red dress,
written by her own hand:
“Do not open until February 14”.
"It is
useless put myself the other! J.J. said that it is a gala ball! I absolutely cannot
wear a normal dress!"
she wore it
and looked in the mirror "Maybe the slit is too much excessive... I bought
this dress for a special evening with Mac is not for J.J.!" she shook her
head and walked to the bathroom "It's too late to find another dress! I'll
have to go out like that!"
The sound
of the intercom invaded the house.
Christine
put something in a hurry to cover the slit that from her knee reached almost to
the end of the thigh
"My
child! Next time let me know before that I have to keep the kids!" the man
said entering the door
"You're
right, Dad! But I have to go somewhere that Mac hadn’t to know and..."
"You haven’t
told him it yet!"
"No!"
"You
said it to his mother! Do you think she has taken it to the grave?"
"I
know for sure that it is so! Mac did not give me signs to know something! I
told him that I should talk to him about something important when they already
have acquitted him from the affair of Beirut, but the work and the various
events haven’t allowed it to us!"
The man
sighed "Does J.J. know that this is the last time? Before you weren’t
married and you hadn’t children. You could afford to do certain things, but
now... " he snorted "Cursed is the day when you started!"
"I was
eighteen! What did I know that it would have lasted so long?"
"How
did you dress up?"
"With
a dress!"
"How
long is the slit?"
"Do you
also do the cop now?" Christine asked irritably.
The
intercom rang again.
Christine
looked at from the camera who it was
"It’s
J.J.! I have to go!"
Mac was
looking for Jo and Sheldon in the great hall.
The two
were secluded in a corner
"I'm
not convinced of what we are doing!" Sheldon said
"We
can do this, you'll see! We will make meet them!" Jo whispered "Christine
should find herself at having to dance with Mac!"
They approached
Mac that greeted them "I have searched for you everywhere! You are really
smart guys!"
"Thank
you, Mac! However, even you're very charming!" Jo pointed out to him
"Please!
I'm sorry to have left Christine at home alone!"
"Don’t
feel guilty! I'm sure you can have fun!" Sheldon smiled
"How
come to the FBI gala ball they have also invited we two?" Mac asked Jo
"For
our latest collaboration! I insisted that our entire team was invited, but to
no avail!"
From a side
door J.J. went in with Christine, she took off her raincoat winter revealing
the slit and the beauty of the dress
"You
really fascinating Whitney! Or should I say Whitney Taylor!"
"I'm
here to say goodbye to this life J.J.! Not to slingshot me in another time!"
"Why
don’t we dance?" J.J. invited her
From across
the room even Mac and Jo began to dance
"When
did you learn to dance waltz?" she asked
"When
I was at high school! I had to take out my first girlfriend!"
"The
high school prom! How many memories about my first time!"Jo whispered
"The
first time you danced?"
"If we
want to put it that way, yes!"
"Ah,
that first time! Yes, for me that ball was the first experience too... it was
not planned so we were quite embarrassed!"
Jo laughed
"Can you think that my first time became, after a few years, my
husband!"
Mac laughed
with her.
Jo saw
Christine dancing with a blond man dressed in a light gray suit
"I
really don’t know how to dance tango!" she said hearing the piece starting
"Why don’t you dance with your wife!" she said perfectly alongside to
Christine and her accompanist "Meanwhile you could finally talk!"
"What
did I tell you Chris? You found someone with whom to dance tango!" J.J.
smiled
Mac and
Christine looked at each other surprised, for the first time since they knew
they were being lied to each other.
"They
are spying on you since you came out of your place! The song has already begun!
If you want to talk, you’d better do it now!" Jo said "I'm going to
Sheldon!"
"Come
on Chris! It's your chance!" J.J. smiled "Congratulations in tastes
for women, Lieutenant!"
"You
asshole!" Christine hissed at him not slowly enough to not be heard by Jo
and Mac.
Mac looked
at his wife and first had the courage to speak
"You
may know what happened to us?"
"You
have to know the truth that your mother has kept hidden from you, and that, if
death had not sewn her mouth, you would know already!" she took his hands
and began to twirl with him to the tune of a lively and cheerful song.
I took the perfect
avenue, down the road to both of you
Did I go dutch?
This is too
much!..
"Tell
me the truth then!" Mac said following the music with his movements and
reaching to tighten more Christine to himself without looking at her face
"I've
always had a double life! They are years that goes on in this way and I was hoping
to get out once married!" she came up to his ear "I'm not like -The
White Rose-!"
Mac
startled and Christine felt his heart jump
"You're
a killer of the United States Government!"
"No! I’m
an FBI agent under cover! I can tell you my lasts missions if you want! So you
can get an idea of what I do out of our relationship!" she parted from
him "You'll understand why I have kept silent all to you for three years!"
"I don’t
need you to tell me that! You killed a gangster while we were in Chicago!"
he stood behind her and looked at her straight in the eye "One arm was
hurting you at the funeral!"
"That
was an accident since he was run over by a car! Then I saved the children of
the school bus with Erika!"
Mac
startled again "Russell's wife!?"
"You
still don’t know that Russell died! The reason they have brought us together is
simple: if we broke up tonight, you won’t see the sun rise and I will return to
work as before! Ever since I said you -I do!- I'm trying to make sure that there
is always someone with you!"
Mac made
her twirling on the spot and for a while they continued to dance without
saying more.
In the
background they still had that song.
…I can’t separate
your sins,
To me you’re
acting like you’re twins..
Christine
put her lips on his neck, a couple of times, kissing him. Mac arched his back
coming to lift her off the ground and making her land in front of him, he
kissed her gently on the cheek.
...This is a mess,
Is this a test?...
The couple
left on the dance floor were very few.
Christine
fastened her left leg to the right one of Mac, uncovering her thigh in full.
…How many guesses
do I get?...
Till only one of
you is left
You’re quite the
same, …
Mac ran
with his hand as he could to cover the view to the eyes of those present there.
If love’s the
gain…”
Christine
straightened up and came face to face with Mac
"What
is your plan agent?" Mac asked on her lips
"Why are
you panting? Is tiredness or..."
"The
second you were going to say! How do we save ourselves?" Mac asked
"Easy!"
Christine said lowering her leg and doing another twirl "We will satisfy
my bosses, in part!"
"I don’t
want you to risk your life! I do not like that!"
"As it
happens, now you know how I feel every time you leave home! Admit that you
never thought about it?"
Mac had no
answer and decided to keep dancing driving with harmony Christine, leaving
himself to pervade by emotions and decided to follow the rules: don’t look her
in the eyes.
Treating girls
like a yo-yo is a no no of monumental kind
If playing with
your string had lanced to be your thing
It’s easy to say
to both, oh nevermind…
Sequences
interminable with six or eight steps: Walk, Baldosa, Ocho, Giro, Molinete,
Sacada forward or backward ...
And get me wicked
up
Shake it up
Tangled up
You could be
breaking up, making up
Tangled up
You can’t be
faking it,
Making it from my
love
With all this
tragedy, don’t get me tangled up…
Mac,
sensing that the conclusion of the piece was near, he slipped forward
Christine.
…Tangled up…
She
stretched behind her left leg and arched her back.
…Tangled up…
He had to
simply move the right foot, keeping the left leg firmly and hold Christine with
his right hand bending on her.
…Tangled up
They
remained to wade into the eyes for a short time because Mac leaned on her lips
quickly.
Jo smiled
at Sheldon
"We
made it! Perhaps the heads of Christine will be convinced that Mac doesn’t
constitute any threat!"
"They
have only lost one of their agents!" Sheldon said
J.J. sigh
"Damn it Chris! Those one day, when your children won’t be there, they
will bump you!"
Jo smiled
looking at him "Agent Harris, I can assure you that, outside the domestic
walls, they will never be alone!"
"If
they want they can bump them even now in front of everyone! It’s enough a hit
man of the Government! In your opinion who killed -The Scarlet Pimpernel-?"
Jo looked
at him "You were trying to rescue Christine!"
"Then
we learned that the CSIs, which are unusually also Detective, had preceded us!
Mac Taylor truly has a nerve! He got into trouble in first person to save
Chris!"
"You
have abandoned her to herself once given her the secret identity!" Jo
hissed
"She
was safe!"
"And
how come the Pimpernel has captured her?"
Sheldon
turned their attention
"What's
upstairs?"
J.J. jumped
"She carries him to the bedroom?"
"Agent
Harris, they are husband and wife! What does make you think that it is an
abnormal situation?" Sheldon asked
"If there
was a hit man in Chris’s room? Where are my keys?!" J.J. said rummaging in
his jacket pocket and he found there a note:
“Sorry!
Chris”
Mac hugged
Christine under the sheets
"As
you see, between us things haven’t changed! Perhaps, now that you don’t have to
hide anymore, you better explain me why you didn’t say anything to me!"
"I
haven’t said you this to protect you!" she said with her head resting on
his chest
"Until
quite recently, I thought you were the one who need protection!" Mac
smiled "Is here where you sleep after missions?"
"Actually,
my bedroom is upstairs! This is the bedroom of JJ, the guy who danced with me
before you came!"
"Why
are we here?" he said covering her shoulders with the sheets
"Because
I have a hit man or a trap in the bedroom!" Christine kissed Mac’s lips
"We’ll still safe for a little while!"
Mac was
about to kiss her in turn, but his cell phone rang and also that of Christine
did the same.
They parted
to reach the mobile phones on the bedside table, located opposite each other,
and they sat down
"Is
this a joke?" Christine asked reading the message
"They
want us to work together!" Mac said looking at his display "They
really want to separate us!"
"All
right! We’ll fight against them!"
"I'm
going to examine the scene! Where have you thrown my boxers?" Mac said in
the dark
"Seek for
them! I'm too busy to find my stuff!"
Christine
wrote a few lines on a piece of paper to JJ and, open the closet next to the
door, she passed clothes to Mac
"I don’t
intend having to struggle to wash the clothes that we used tonight!"
"Will
you put on J.J.’s clothes too?"
"No,
as luck would have it! I go out in this manner in the corridor!" Christine
said ironic
"Have
I married the female version of Flack?"
Flack had
just arrived on the scene with Jaime and Danny
"Somebody
says: -TGIF! Thank God it's Friday!- Every time I see something I repeat -TGINM! Thank God it's not me!-"
"Show
respect, Flack! Even this poor guy would have a family!" Danny harangued
him
"We
work with an undercover FBI agent! Apparently she's a lot good at solving cases
where animals are involved as the murder weapon!" Jaime said
"A
woman?!" Flack churches
"What
do you have against women?" Peyton said coming to examine the body
"I
thought that as expert for the animals they would have called a man! Do you
know the mad scientists who spend all hours in the lab?"
"What
have you got against scientists who spend hours in the lab and why should they
be mad?" Danny asked
"It’s really
impossible to say anything!" Flack complained
"It’s
possible to say things that don’t offend the present, Don!" Jaime said.
Mac and
Christine went down with Jo and Sheldon from a police’s black Chevrolet SUV
"Why
it's Christine here? Where is the expert?" Flack churches
"I'm
here!" Christine said
"Are
you kidding? So, Christine comes from FBI?" Danny asked surprised at the
place of Flack who was left without words
"I
discovered it myself this evening! Try to don’t do us argue! It goes of our own
lives!" Mac explained in broad terms "Where is the victim?"
"Hello
Mac!" Peyton greeted "Come with Christine to take a look at our
friend: Alexis Stanford!"
"Peyton!
You don’t seem very surprised that Christine..." Mac said walking and
bending over the body
"I'm
not surprised because you always had particular girlfriends! The only common
woman, after Claire, was Aubrey Hunter!"
Christine
had already slipped latex gloves and moved the flaps of skin that came off from
the body of the victim "Tiger! These are tiger bites!" Mac looked at
her fascinated she noticed it and laughed "Why do you look at me like
that, Mac?"
"Because
another you took over from you! I feel that you are no longer the same as before!
Especially before, when..."
"This
murder has just spoiled you the evening" Peyton smiled amused "By the
way, nice clothes! You should make a fashion statement!" she stood up and
gave a signal to the Coroner "If there’s nothing else I’ll go to do the
autopsy!"
Danny
smiled at Christine "Happy to have you among us!"
Jo and
Christine were staring together at Angela in front of the computer, who to pass
the time was talking with both "I am happy that Mac has come to know the
truth! I don’t know how I would have kept my mouth shut!" she pressed send
and on the screen appeared a newspaper article a few days before "Indeed,
they stole a tiger! They also say that they can no longer find a golden eagle!"
"It is
probable that whoever stole the tiger will use it again for a murder! The same
thing happened to me in Egypt with a lion!" Christine explained "They
had killed an American millionaire and I had to investigate! In the end I had
to shoot the lion!"
Jo stared
at the computer "How do we move?"
"Simple!
I'll be back on the scene for other inspections on behalf of FBI, Mac and you'll
go to hear the results of the autopsy at 15.00, Angela you will seek analogies
with cases like this, while Danny, Sheldon and Lindsay will examine the
evidence gathered tonight! I also wanted to go home by kids! I have to feed
them and then there is also the restaurant and..." she snorted "Do
you understand now why I don’t want this life anymore?"
"Now I
understand why you told me to understand Mac!" Jo asserted
"I'll
call J.J. and I will ask him to join me!"
"Take also
Flack and Jaime! They haven’t yet become accustomed to see you as an undercover
agent!"
"It won’t
last much longer, Jo! I'll try to talk to my bosses! I'd like to point that
we've never killed anyone, at least not directly! I had to do horrible things:
especially in Chicago and during my first assignment!"
Angela
turned interested "Have you shot someone the first time? No wait! Have you
stabbed him?"
"No!
It was a poison kiss! My first kiss!" Christine smiled bitterly by leaving
"More
than Christine the restaurant owner! If Horatio was still alive, he would try
in every way to steal Mac's wife!" Angela smiled
"If
D.B. Russell knew that Christine is an FBI agent..."
"Who
is D.B. Russell?" Angela asked
"It's
time to tell you about the first kidnapping of Christine! It all started a year
ago..."
Lindsay
passed the oily substance, which has been found, under the microscope
"Danny!
Come here a minute!"
Danny came
up "Here I am! What's going on?"
"There
is a partial DNA, which has no match in the CODIS, and this strange substance
is honey and sugar!"
"That's
why it's so sticky!" Danny commented looking at the spectrometer
"This guy died because a tiger killed him, but he has on himself sweetened
honey... I want to see what Christine has to say about that!"
Lindsay
turned to Danny "I couldn’t imagine that Christine was... How did she
can’t get out of troubles by herself all the times she's finished in? That time
she was kidnapped last year... and then with the Pimpernel for her had to be a
joke!"
"Between
the eighth and ninth month of pregnancy?" Danny reminded her
"Apparently, the first time that they kidnapped her, she was without
protection of the FBI! I wonder what kind of program it is!" he pointed to
the office of the Mac in front of them "Now that she's out to investigate,
Mac is restless because he is afraid that something might happen to her!"
"Jo
told me that Russell died and Erika Russell is the partner of Christine!"
"Mac
is not afraid to die, but he is afraid to see his loved ones die! In a few
hours Christine put him in front of a bunch of problems and they are too many
even for someone like him!"
Mac and Jo
listened attentively Peyton
"I
will be brief and concise! Alexis Stanford was under the influence of drugs, he
was drunk and felt anything! The cause of death is a clean cut of the carotid
artery in three points!"
"Is
that all?" Mac asked
"Look,
you have Christine who must explain the traces founded by Lindsay! I don’t know
how honey can be finished on his clothes! If you don’t believe me, you can
always ask Isabella to come back from the conference beforehand and tell her to
repeat all the tests!"
"You're
pretty aggressive!" Mac pointed out to her
"Thanks
for everything Peyton! I'm sure Mac didn’t mean to offend you in any way! Am I
right, Mac?" Jo asked.
Mac in
reply walked out autopsy room.
Christine
felt the gaze of Flack on the neck
"You don’t
trust me because I'm driving, or because my observations on the scene shocked
you?"
"You’ve
only a little surprised everyone with the news that, in a sense, you are our
colleague!"
"You
have said to me that who knows how many times!" Christine snorted
"Forgive
Don!" Jaime smiled "In the head he still has an archetypal concept of
the female figure!"
“Mac doesn’t
seem disappointed! As soon as he will see that there is an extra track to
follow, he'll be happy!"
Mac watched
the car stop into the garage and opened the door of his wife
"Tell
me you got something!"
"Yes!
We're going to talk about it in your office!" Christine smiled "Could
you go to communicate everything to Danny, Lindsay and Sheldon? Just to halve
the time!" and she disappeared behind the panic exit door, with Mac
"You
know Jaime? I don’t mind the new Christine!"
"There's
a trace of honey contaminated with human DNA! I sent everything to Lindsay, who
recovered to another component content in honey lemon juice. There is probably also
some water!"
The couple
walked into Mac
"So,
does someone like special sauces?"
Christine
laughed watching Mac sit and watch the computer. She gently stroked his hair
and kissed him on the cheek
"What
are you doing?" Mac asked bewildered "We should work and then go home
to see how the children are and lat...”
Christine
had placed her lips over his mouth to silence him
"J.J.
is taking care of everything else! He owes me some favors, it is right that he
returns them to me with interests! The only thing that I will never allow him
to deal with are the children!" she picked up from the bag she was
carrying a lighter and a strange little packet and laid them on the desk "Do
you want to understand what are those ingredients for or not?"
"Christine!
We are in my office! We have a lab to do experiments!"
"Experiments
on you are another story! Let’s close the curtains!" she smiled putting
the action in place
"There
is also a glass door that cannot be obscured!"
"Under
your desk there is a lot of space! Let's do all there!"
Mac looked
at her "I don’t know that look!"
"Let
yourself be guided by me!"
Sheldon
looked at Jo sitting in her office and decided to enter
"How
are my lovely girlfriend and our baby?"
"Fine!
I’d like to know what happened to Mac ...”
"I'd
like knowing it too! I found an interesting thing!" he said putting a
dossier on Jo’s table "It seems that in this place they use a lot of honey
sweetened! Legally it is an oriental restaurant..."
Jo stood up
and, taking the dossier, she began to pace the room
"Are you
suspecting that this is a facade?"
"Surely
it is!"
Jo nodded
"I'll go to Mac! Surely he must be in his office!" and she stepped
out leaving Sheldon
"Wait!"
he ran after her.
Jo,
noticing the curtains closed, walked into Mac’s office running and she saw his
head peeping out from the edge of the desk
"Mac,
what are you doing under the table?" she asked surprised approaching.
Mac stood
up with untucked shirt and he pushed the chair near the desk
"Nothing,
the penholder had fallen!"
"Your
shirt suggests to me other else!" Jo said taking the chair with hands
"If I move it, I won’t find Christine, or yes?"
"Yes,
I am here!" Christine snorted coming out and carrying a plastic cup with
something in it that Jo couldn’t identify and the lighter "This stuff has
to be thrown away! The experiment worked!"
"At my
own expense, we know what sweet honey is the used for!" Mac snorted
"It
was my personal hypothesis!" Christine smiled "You let me to do this!
I'm surprised!"
"It
didn’t do so bad... I'll see you at home, as laid down in the covenant!"
Mac said accompanying her to the door.
Sheldon
looked at Christine to go out and noticed Mac shirt "Can I come in?"
Mac made
him pass
"Is
there a strange smell here?"
"Yes! Christine
and I have prepared a wax with honey and sugar! It’s used for Sugaring hair removal: mixing water, sugar and lemon
juice with honey you get this wax with natural ingredients!" he lifted the
hem of his shirt "You cannot understand how it hurts to have the fabric
that rubs against the belly right now!"
"Tell
Christine to don’t open a beauty salon to supplement her income!" Sheldon
said looking at the red area
"Excuse
me for a moment ago, Mac!" Jo smiled
"I
accept the apologies! No need to tell you that this type of waxing are
typically oriental and that the ancient Egyptians already used in 1900 BC!"
"We
have a place where they use a lot of these ingredients" Sheldon said indicating
the file that Jo had in her hand.
Danny,
Lindsay and Angela heard Flack telling the latest news about Christine
"In
conclusion, she is worse than Mac when it comes to investigating!"
Danny
raised both eyebrows "It is a shame that she wants to retire from the
stage!"
"I
would too, if my job was risky as her one!" Lindsay admitted
"Be
silent! She is now walking in the hallway!" Angela warned them.
Christine
smiled entering the lab "I came to greet you! The FBI said that I have to
pull back! Good luck to all!" she was about to leave "Ah! Let Mac explain
you how waxing with honey works!"
Mac was in
the car with Jaime directed towards the place indicated to him by Sheldon
"Christine
knows that we have a track?" Jaime asked
"No!"
Mac said without diverting his attention from the driving "I remind you that
she plays with another team!"
"She
wanted to help you !"
"She
said that she didn’t want to be more involved! I respect her will!"
Jaime
looked at Mac to park your car "She said she didn’t want to have anything
to do with the FBI, not with you!"
"Do we
want to come in?" Mac asked with insistence.
Mac and
Jaime got out and entered into what was formally an Arabic restaurant
"What
do you want?" a lady with the veil at the bar at the entrance churches
"NYPD,
we are looking for the owner. We have some questions to do!" Jaime said
showing her badge
"In
relation to what are you here?"
"Murder!"
Mac said looking at one of the tables with ultraviolet and by noting tracks
"In general, you don’t use bleach to clean a wooden table: it ruins
it!"
"What
are you doing?" the woman asked irritably
"Be
calm, we have a warrant!" Jaime said passing the envelope to the woman
"You can call us the owner?"
"My
brother is in the back, but he's busy!"
Mac moved
in the direction indicated by the head of the woman. Jaime had remained in the
restaurant.
Mac walked
in a narrow corridor lined with doors on both sides, from the inside female
voices could be heard to talk Arabic and smell of spiced honey.
He opened
the door to the back and found himself in front of a tiger tied with a chain
and a man who fed it with pieces of meat
"NYPD!"
"I
knew it would end like this!" he shouted something in Arabic and girls
appeared behind Mac attacking him and tying him.
The man
took Mac and put him in front of the tiger
"She’s
hungry and I think that the fresh meat is better than the meat already
slaughtered!"
"I
must conclude that you killed Alexis Stanford!" Mac said feeling something
sticky on his hands "I bet that what I have on my hands is honey ! It is
enough for me as a sample to compare it with the one found on the scene!
Finally a sample of your DNA and I’ll have the proof that you hurt yourself and
you used the honey wax as cauterizing the cut!"
"Interesting!"
the man said "Too bad you’ll be dead! To never see you again!"
Mac looked
at the man disappear and then looked at the tiger who was studying him to
attack him.
The animal
leaped , but an eagle, to the surprise of Mac appeared from nowhere flinging on
the feline . The eagle, with its talons and beak, could tear one eye of the
animal, it perched on a dumpster nearby and began to eat.
The tiger
continued to fidget and headed back to Mac The eagle returned to hurling on the
feline tearing the second eye.
Mac looked
at the scene amazed and the eagle seemed almost return his gaze. Suddenly, the
eagle took flight and disappeared.
A gunshot
reached the tiger that was about to throw again on Mac
"-I'll
see you at home!- Of course!"
Mac smiled
"How did you know where I was?"
Christine
leaned on him freeing him
"Thanks
to Angela, who told me that you went out alone with Jaime, and JJ, who, when we
work together has taught me to have doubts about anyone!"
Mac stood
up "Did you see the eagle?"
"No! Why?
There was an eagle?" she looked around and then smiled at Mac "Do you
want to arrest the suspect before the FBI does it?"
"You
got him?"
"Flack
and Jaime got him!" Christine said helping him to stand up "By the
way! Jo and Sheldon have finally set a date for the wedding! You know they
wanted a simple ceremony, do you?"
"So,
on which day is it?"
"Valentine's
Day!"
Mac laughed
"They could have chosen a more peaceful day!"
"What
do you think about Flack and Jaime?" Christine asked opening the door
leading to the hallway
"What
they’ll conclude soon too!" he stopped in the hallway holding her hand
"What do you think of us? Will something change now?"
"Something
inevitably has already changed! But from tomorrow I can assure you one thing: I
will be just Christine Whitney Taylor! Wife of Lieutenant Mac Taylor of NYPD,
mother of twins and manager and owner of a restaurant! The Chiefs got it! I'm
free! Well, almost!"
Mac smiled
"The best news I could receive today!"
"Aside
from arrest the person responsible for a murder and to close one of the
brothels in New York! The victim died for this! J.J. was at his house and found
a video that documents everything!"
"Even
Jo was in the victim's home!" Mac objected
"At
the FBI they have more information, especially on homes not registered!"
Jo helped
Sheldon to re-order relevant evidence in the lab
"Mac
is questioning the murderer!" Jo broke the deathly silence of the room.
Sheldon
looked at her and smiled "I have to admit that Christine has been a help
to us, even if we have not figured out yet whether or not there is an eagle in
New York!"
"Mac
says that he saw it and that it has saved his life! He also added that there
will be at the wedding!"
"Flack
told me that finally he will make a proposal to Jaime!" Sheldon picked up
a couple of envelopes and closed them in a box "About time! After a year
and a half passed along to chase each other!"
"Don’t
you think that, instead, Flack runs somewhat too fast? He knows her by less
than a year!"
"Love
cannot be stopped, Jo! We also are a contradiction, if you look carefully to our
roots!"
"Me
from the South and you African American? I am an open-minded person! Would I
have agreed to marry you otherwise?"
"No!"
Sheldon approached her and kissed her softly.
J.J. looked
at the computer with Erika at the base of the FBI in New York
"Chris
is officially out of dangerous missions! I'm happy for her!" Erika smiled "Is
something wrong?" she added looking at J.J.
"Remember,
we won’t never completely free from our past! Chris will have to deal with it
again one day! I just hope she won’t get hurt because of Taylor!"
"Mac
is a golden man! Between me and James things were not going well anymore!"
"By
the way, with whom you leave your children while you work?" J.J. asked
"With
my next door neighbor!" she smiled peering at his friend and colleague
"Tell me the truth, do you still love Chris like the first time you saw
her?"
"Yes!
When we were eighteen, before you joined us, she was scared and fearful to the
idea of his first assignment! I have given her courage, I told her what to do
and how to do it!"
"It
was the only time that Christine has killed someone voluntarily! How come it
didn’t work between you?"
"After
six months, she wanted to break up because, according to her, it was better a
certain friendship than an uncertain relationship!"
Erika
laughed "You know, I thought about the day when Christine and Mac have
come to me: there was something in their eyes that I haven’t ever seen! For her
Mac is not a police officer or a former Marine! He is a man who knows how to be
present and who understands her! I am sure that if you had been so too years
ago, she would have given you an opportunity!"
"Maybe..." J.J. he said closing the
file of Christine "But Christine told me one thing, one thing that makes
sense: -Think about the future!- and that's what I want to do!"
