I promised to open up and talk but we didn't quite have the time. The following day we got wrapped up in another case. Mr. Coleman's two-week old body was found in Vernon, New York by hikers.

He was the owner of a local hardware store and we came pretty close to a suspect, one of his employees. So Aaron sent me and Morgan to pick him up.

Morgan knocks on the door. A guy, not over 20, opens the door and we pull out our badges.
"Jackson Morris, we have a few questions for you. Please follow us to the station" I say nicely

"No" he replies and tries to close the door on us.

Derek stops him. "I would advise you to listen to the lady. Trust me, you don't want to piss her off" he says as he grabs Jackson's arm

"I want my lawyer!" he demands

"You can call him from the station" Derek informs him as we lead him to the car

"Do you even know who I am?"

"A spoiled brat?" I suggest

"You'll be in big trouble after this. Do you know who my father is?"

"Why? Your mommy didn't tell you? Get in" I say shoving him inside.

"You're mommy didn't tell you?" Derek chuckles as we get in as well.

We put him in an interrogation room and I return to the conference room, joining Aaron.

It's no suit day today. He is wearing the olive green dress shirt I got him a few days ago, with the sleeves rolled up.

We are alone in the room so I get to his side as I walk in
"Hey, handsome" I say taking his attention

"Hey, gorgeous" he replies smiling, causing me to blush. This never gets old.

"You have to admit, I have a great taste" I say as I fix the colar of his shirt

"Are you talking about the shirt or me?" he asks and kisses me quickly

"Sorry to interrupt the young lovers..." Rossi walks in.

"No, we were leaving..." I say and we return to the interrogation room
"Are we doing this together?" I ask him

"Yes. Let me take the lead. You brought him in so he'll try to antagonize you. I'll introduce you just by your first name and when he dismisses you as a threat, I'll leave you alone with him. Remember, we have no murder weapon yet"

"Ok" I reply and we go in.

"Hello, Mr. Morris. I'm Agent Hotchner with the FBI. I wanted to confirm a few things from your statement" he says as he sit across from him

"Sure, go ahead" he replies almost annoyed, but also arrogant.

"Lexie..." Aaron passes me the file

"Mr. Morris, your alibi is that you had a double shift, correct?" I ask
