That was hardly true, but Logan appreciated the grace extended toward Monty. It was obvious he was babbling a bit out of nervousness. Although the three law enforcement officers didn’t seem offended, Logan was still a little perturbed with him. Being a member of the BAU was a privilege. Showing up on time to important meetings seemed like a small thing to expect. He’d said something about it more than once, but here Monty was, late again. Logan worried about his friend. He didn’t want him to risk his job with the BAU.
As Monty slid into a chair next to Kaely, Chief Gorman took his cell phone from his pocket and called someone, asking them to bring everything they had on the John Davis case so far.
“What can we get you?” he asked as he put his phone back into his pocket. “I assume you’ve already had lunch?”
The three of them nodded.
“What about coffee? Or something cold?”
All four of them asked for coffee. Again the chief took out his phone. He told someone on the other end to bring coffee, along with cream and sugar. “Do you need anything else?”
Logan looked at the other agents, who all shook their heads. “We’re good,” he said.
Gorman stood, and Julie and Cooper followed suit.
“If you need me, just ask anyone in the squad room to locate me. And like I said, whatever resources we have are at your disposal.” He started toward the door but then stopped and turned around. “Thanks for coming. It’s not that we couldn’t handle this alone, but I strongly feel we have to cover every base. I don’t get this feeling very often, but when I do, I’m always right.”
“What kind of feeling do you mean?” Alex asked.
He shook his head. “It’s an instinct in my gut. I’m sure you’ve had it. Comes from spending time in law enforcement. My gut’s telling me this case won’t be easy. In spades.”
Without another word, he opened the door and walked out. His detectives followed.
