The largest scene that I've cut so far was the Jim invites Megan to the loft for dinner. Most of these revolve around that. Notice that some scenes currently in the story started out in a different form.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
then turning to face Jim, "Look, guys can we just get this over with I’ve got a busy day tomorrow, you don’t know how hard it is to play perfect FBI Agent. Ellison I’m sure you told Blair my plan and….."
"Davison, we will talk about that after dinner but we still need to know a few things."
"Yeah, what?"
"I’m not totally comfortable with you holding information back from us. Either you know more about this case than your telling or there’s more about you than you’re telling which is it?" Jim said as he fixed her with his eyes.
To both men’s surprise Megan looked at the floor and spoke softly, "A little of both but the reason is tied to the latter. I really don’t want to say. Look if you guys are going to do this all night I’m going to go to my place."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why?" Jim asked.
Mulder answered, "We figured out what happens to her when she is one of the first on a crime scene. She can almost see how everything happened. She is one of those rare profilers that can do that. Also one of the ones most prone to becoming those killers which she seeks. That is what that trance 18 months ago was about."
Blair spoke up, "That’s what happened at the morgue yesterday wasn’t it Megan, but how, the body was there for a while before you saw it."
Megan answered, "Sometimes I can make myself get inside the head of the killer that is what happened. I also noticed the different sizes of bruises on the body they seemed almost layered. That is how I know there is more than one killer."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Jim seeing a chance to try and find out what was going on with this FBI Agent, he offered, "I can
do one better, Sandburg is cooking tonight. He always cooks enough for an army, it’s got to be
better than eating take-away in a bare apartment roughing-it, alone. If I am going to let you pull
this crazy stunt to catch the killer, then you have to be in top form." Jim began to walk to the
doorway out of Major Crimes and into the elevator.
"OK, then Ellison, but are you sure Blair will not mind. I think that damned note spooked him."
Megan said as she grabbed her bag and headed for the elevator as well.
"Spooked or not it will give you a better chance to tell both of us why you gave it to him." Jim said
leading Megan out of the elevator. "In case you lose sight of me the address is 852 Prospect."
"OK, if I can’t find it I’ll give you a call on your cell phone. I have the number." Megan said as
she climbed into her bureau issue car.
"How’d you get that?" Jim asked.
Megan smiled, "Being an agent has some advantages, but really the friends who gave me the
information on you and Blair had it." Megan started her car and motioned for Jim to lead the way.
Heading to the loft Jim took out his cell phone and phoned Blair.
"Chief, it’s me look I’m asking Davison to dinner at the loft so add enough for three, there is
something strange about her."
"I know Jim, I think she may have hyper-senses not all five but anywhere from one to three."
Blair explained.
Jim shook his head in disbelief, "What makes you think that, Chief?"
"Well first and most convincing is the fact that when we were coming up in the elevator she knew
you were telling someone about the note from the fourth floor. Second was the mini-zone out
looking at the photos, Third is the morgue that looked like a total zone out only she was able to pull
her self out."
"So you think she has what sight, hearing and possibly one other, right." Jim paused in thought as
he used Blair’s observations to fill in the blanks that he had of Megan’s plan. With the factor of
just hearing and sight she could think she would be able to sense the killers from a distance and be
able…..wait she has been saying killers how would she know that, unless…"Chief I think I’ve got
a third, smell. She is convinced that there is more than one killer maybe she smelled the body, or
something. She ushered us out of the morgue to quickly for me to give the body a once over we’ll
need to do that before we start visiting the crime scenes tomorrow." Jim also told Blair about
Megan’s plan to catch the killers.
"Jim, you’re letting her do this? How are we going to help her if she doesn’t want any
surveillance."
"We are going to move into her building for a bit. One thing she may or may not have taken into
consideration is that if we play up the fact she is from DC the killers may move faster to take
her."
"Just as well I have late afternoon classes tomorrow, I’ll go with you to see if we can verify any
of Megan’s information, that could give us more of an idea of where the killers took the women,"
Blair said with some sadness in his voice.
"OK Chief, see you in a bit." Jim said as he ended the conversion.
A Few Minutes Later
852 Prospect
Megan met Jim at the doorway to the loft, as he opened the door Jim noticed that Megan avoided getting too close to the door. He also noticed that she gave the place a quick but through glance before walking over to where Blair was fixing dinner.
"Need any help, Blair?" Megan asked peering over his shoulder into the pan.
"No, why don’t you go sit down I’ll be a few minutes. Do you want something to drink? We’ve got tea, juice, water, beer, wine, whatever." Blair offered.
"Not right, now. Thanks." Megan said instead opting to lean against the counter and watch Blair prepare dinner.
Jim noting her interest decided to let Blair handle it, "Chief, I’ll be out on the balcony reading Davison’s file. Just holler when dinner is done. OK?"
"Yeah, sure Jim." Blair said wanting to mutter a few choice words under his breath but if Megan had hyper-hearing then he couldn’t really or risk her knowing about Jim.
Megan took one look at each face and had an idea of what was about to happen. "Blair, I’m not going to bite, so just ask. If I don’t want to tell you then I’ll say that although I really would like to wait until after this case to say anything."
"I guess that would make sense but is there anything Jim or I will need to look out for? I noticed what happened in the morgue."
Megan groaned, "That hasn’t happened to me for a while. I just wasn’t ready for that...........................
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Why don’t you tell me what was different then, the file we have says that you were found over the body in a trance-like state. That’s what it looked like yesterday as well. It sounds very similar to us care to explain how it’s different." Blair asked
"Not really but I get the idea that you will not leave this alone until I explain this a bit. Am I right?"
"Close enough, Megan."
"Well, I don’t want to tell you guys, but I guess I’m going have to. You guys most likely will not believe me on this but the reason I can get in the head of a serial killer or any criminal if I get to the crime scene soon enough is because I’m a telepath." Megan looked to each man and tried to gauge the reaction that her words caused.
Blair recovered first, "So that is how you knew that the note worried me, and how you knew that Jim was telling someone about the note. You didn’t have a hypersense unless you count sixth sense."
"Blair, my telepathic skills are not a sense, but yes that is what happened. In the morgue I almost lost my mind to the killers. Ellison that is how I knew that there was more than one killer. They left a sort of imprint on the body. Its enough that I know that they are watching me now." Megan paused and took a deep breath not sure how to explain this part to Blair. "Blair, you felt them too."
a sick shock in Blair's face Megan realized that the feelings hadn't left him yet and that Blair had no normal outlet for it. Megan wrenched herself from Jim's grip. "Let go Ellison or else Blair will be lost." Ignoring Jim's demand for an explanation Megan took both of Blair's hands into her own and allowed herself to drift into his mind.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Simultaneously all three said, "What was that?"
Megan looked a bit guilty, "What was what?"
Jim grabbed Megan's arm none too gently and seethed, "Whatever we felt when we touched you. We come in here find you entranced by the body, touch you to try and shake you out of it. Then feel some sort of bloodlust that seems to come pretty close to what you described on Wednesday night. Start talking Davison."
Megan looked at Ellison and saw that he had somehow taken the full force of the bloodlust that the killers felt. Megan knew that she was going to have to talk to him alone and quickly, "Fine just one of you tell me what the black panther means."
The shock that statement caused forced the bloodlust to fade from Jim at the mention of what Blair had called his spirit guide. "Yes, it looks like we both have a lot to talk about."
"Well I'd love to join you two in this little chit-chat but I have a class that I have to teach and then a date. Just as well I brought my car with me." Blair told them as he went for the door. "Just let me know what you talk about." With that Blair left. Leaving Megan and Jim alone.
Jim icy gaze settled on Megan.
