[CM] THE CASE

What you and I have is forever; my love for you is endless. — Shane Finan

Public opinion is a very interesting thing, because it can influence the facts.

A good man is diligent and diligent, but if public opinion says he is a hypocrite, then even if he is innocent, the "hypocrite" will stick to him firmly and become a bloody thorn.The bad guy goes to jail, but if public opinion says otherwise, he gets sympathy and his crime doesn't seem unforgivable.

Because there is only one truth, but people are not necessarily willing to believe it.

JJ's mobility is very strong.She quickly held a press conference, stating that the case is still under investigation and asked everyone to wait patiently.After all, she is an official spokesperson, and she can only make such a fair but vague response in front of the camera, which will just further ferment public opinion.As soon as she left the camera, she used all her contacts and even dragged the organized crime unit into the water, suggesting that this was a bigger conspiracy.

What's more interesting than conspiracy?

Garcia hacked several malicious smear posts, and ordered Morgan to pour her coffee with blue eyes: "Where's Reid?"

"He went to see Griffith." Morgan also squeezed her shoulders, "You don't have to worry, just cooperate with JJ."

Garcia drank his coffee and said sullenly, "Will Griffith be forced to resign after this incident?"

Morgan straightened her hair and said nothing.

Whether Griffith will leave depends on what Jason Griffith is going to do.

The security in Griffith's ward was even stricter. Reid washed him apples, but Griffith was in a daze all the time. Reid thought he was in a bad mood and didn't dare to disturb him.He looked down at the bracelet on Griffith's hand, and couldn't help touching the one on his own.

Since he didn't take it off, it means there is still play.

He looked up at the almost empty bottle again, and rang the bell to call the nurse to pull out the needle.

Griffith only reacted when the nurse put the needle in the mouth.He blinked first and asked, "Is anyone there?"

With a pain in his heart, Reid quickly agreed, "Yes, I'm here."

Griffith didn't expect him to come again, paused, and asked again: "Is there any inspection later?"

It was the nurse who asked this question, she was stunned for a moment, and said, "I still need to draw blood."

Griffith asked politely: "Can I smoke now? I have something to discuss with him, it's..." His pale face was rarely flushed with shyness, and he whispered: "It's a private matter."

The nurse silently tasted this sentence twice in her heart, and said empathetically, "Yes."

Then she skilfully drew a tube of blood, pretended not to see Reid's red face, and thoughtfully walked to the door and left.

Since it was a private matter, the detective guarding the door was too embarrassed to listen, so he didn't object to the nurse closing the door. Reid gave a dry cough, and felt that the room was huge, except that there was no space for him, and it seemed wrong to stand no matter where he stood. Griffith couldn't see his embarrassment, so he said calmly, "Sit."

Reid couldn't wait to sit down as if he was pardoned.

"What do you think Jason wants?"

Reid's heartbeat was dispelled by his words: "What?"

Griffith held a cotton swab in his elbow, and the bracelet hung on his forearm: "Just to drive them away, sorry."

Reid was a little disappointed, but Griffith was talking about business, and he cheered up: "He has been emphasizing that you should be with him, so the most likely thing is to send you to jail. But in the current situation, it is very difficult to do this, I'm thinking……"

"He just wanted me not to be an agent," Griffith said clearly. "Because I wasn't an agent, my death wouldn't cause much of a stir."

"……what?"

"I said that I wanted to see him sit in the electric chair." Griffith said, "After being arrested, he has only two endings, life imprisonment or death penalty. For what he is worth, he may agree to reduce his sentence through some deals, but None of these deals will allow him to get close to me."

"I don't believe in love in sociopaths. But I have something in me that he doesn't have—empathy, and…" Griffith paused. "His father's company."

"Maybe it gave him the illusion that I was 'special'. He kept saying that to me, as if he wanted to make something up from me."

"He wanted to make up for 'childhood,' something that neither of you had," Reid said. "He spied on you, kidnapped you, and hoped to turn you into someone like him, or make you willingly side with him. "

"So I'm his target." Griffith pointed to himself calmly, "The title of 'Federal Agent' is my talisman. Now he can't touch me casually, but in the future, he will have a chance."

Reid's nails pinched the palm of his hand.

"However, it will be too difficult for him to do it himself in prison in the future. He should send his subordinates. It must be a pity for him that he can't do it himself. If there is such a chance, let him come in person? He is in the bureau now, Isn't it easier to escape than prison?"

Reid looked at him with complicated eyes, Griffith didn't notice, as if using himself as bait was not a dangerous thing.

"I don't know why that kid testified against me, whether she was hypnotized or lied on purpose, but it's not a breakthrough, because you can't wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep. We are going to find the source of this matter, Jason Griffith. He also If you don’t make it to the last step, it’s too late.”

Reid asked in a low voice: "Even if, even if he came to you, how do you know that things outside will stop?"

Griffith said frankly: "Because I believe in JJ, as long as Jason Griffith doesn't continue to entangle, this turmoil will subside soon."

"How do you know he will stop?"

Griffith smiled slightly: "Isn't the FBI doing too little to make a person die?"

Reid remained silent for a long time.

Naturally, there are a lot of fake deaths, and in the numerous witness protection plans, there are countless people who have changed their faces and concealed their identities.However, is that kind of life of worrying all day long and abandoning everything really worth it?

He's a member of the BAU, a former coroner who's popular among rookie agents.He has a degree and a bright future, is he going to leave all this behind and live a life like that?

Reid's hand was grabbed by Griffith gropingly, both hands were cold, but Griffith still held it and shook it slightly twice.

The black-haired young man raised his head, and said softly, "You, help me take off the bracelet."

Reid almost didn't come up in one breath, his heart almost jumped out of his chest.It took him a while before he realized that there was more to Griffith's sentence.

He said, "Bring me yours."

Great sadness and great joy are just a matter of breathing in and out, Reid's legs softened, and he almost knelt down for him.

"I will live with your name on." Reid heard a hint of a smile in his voice, "Don't worry, I..."

The rest of his words fell into Reid's mouth.

This wasn't Reid's first kiss.Back then in the swimming pool, the woman led him with her lips and tongue soaked in cold water, teaching him how to please a person.Now, he has forgotten that little bit of experience in the back of his mind, relying on a little spark in his chest to go on a rampage, and he is extremely sympathetic.

Griffith snorted muffledly.

Is this a dead end?

of course not.As long as there is time, this unfounded charge will be cleared. As long as Jason Griffith is dragged to the law and tied to the electric chair, he can return to BAU and continue to fly around with everyone.

But how long? Jason Griffith's power needs to be peeled off and disintegrated bit by bit.A centipede is dead but not stiff. How long can Griffith be on guard against him?

Moreover, his eyes will not recover, and it will be very dangerous to go out to work.It is impossible for him to stay in BAU.

Reid let him go, whispering, "It's not worth it."

"I'll discuss it with Hotch and Gideon, as long as you can fool Jason Griffith, you don't need to change your identity. John Walker hid a member list, and Conner and the others tracked it down overnight. It will be a fatal blow."

"Even if you can't stay in the Bureau, you don't have to stay too far away. I'll miss you."
