Why was I one of the first to suspect Monica of shooting her partner?
Monica and I were lovers in New York, we shared intimate details of
our
lives together, I watched her tear herself apart trying to help John
Doggett find his son's killer. Never in a million years would I think
she would attempt murder on him. But then why was I the first to
suspect her of this very act?
Sure, rounds were fired from Monica's gun, FBI issued, which is why I
got the call that Agent Doggett was down. I'm now the Assistant
Director in charge of OPR - the Office of Professional
Responsibility.
It is my job to investigate questionable actions by special agents of
the FBI. The evidence against her is not solid; the fact that the
bullet came from her gun is the only reason this case is still alive.
She would never do this, could never do this, so why do I suspect her
without a doubt?
Because our relationship has fizzled away since our first meeting in
Washington. It could have happened then, but for some reason, it has
not. If she were guilty of murder it would be easier to stop loving
her, wanting her, and needing her.
The again, even with charges against her, and she locked away behind
bars, I could never stop loving her.
