“You’re off the case and you’re most likely out of the FBI. We’ll see what internal affairs has to say.”

“We can’t just let this go now,” Mia said.“I’ve given everything to this case.”

“Oh I know, we saw that clear as day on the fucking camera.”

“Greyson?” Mia said.

Greyson said nothing.

“I know I messed up,” Mia said.“But I know I can get the case back on track. Just give me another chance.”

“The only chance you’re getting is the chance to get out of my office before I lose it completely.”

Waterson stared at her, nostrils flared.

Mia left the office.

Outside, everyone was staring at her. How many of them had seen the video? Probably all of them.

She put her head down and walked out towards the elevators.

She pressed the elevator button continuously, wanting to get out of there as soon as possible.

Finally the elevator opened and Mia got in and sighed with relief.

The doors closed. But just before they shut completely, a hand pushed in and the doors opened again.

It was Greyson. He got in the elevator with her and the doors closed completely this time.

Mia glanced at Greyson as he stood there, looking like he wanted to say something.

“I’m sorry,” Mia said.“I ruined your whole case.”

Greyson took a deep breath. He hit the‘Emergency Stop’button and the elevator came to a jarring stop.

“What’s going on?” Mia asked.

“I’ve been working on the Rossi case for 7 years.”

“I know. I’m sorry.”

“No one’s ever gotten as far as you did. Not even close.”

“Well, that’s all over now.”

Mia was totally deflated. Everything she’d worked for, all gone. She didn’t know what to do, or how to feel.

“I got some intel this morning,” Greyson said.“There’s a big deal going down between the Rossis and the Monatto family.”

“The Monatto family? Aren’t they —?”

“The Rossi family’s biggest competitors and enemies.”

“That’s the family of Lorenzo’s ex-fiance. He thinks they killed her.”

“They probably did.”

“What kind of deal could they be doing?”
