Chapter 6 - Permission

" That's odd" Raya said as she looked through the files in Joe's office , particularly the ones concerning the recent murders. " They all happen weirdly, say an odd pattern, or. I just guessing things" Raya started as she flipped through every picture or document. " It's not just you, I saw it too , " Joe replied rubbing his temple, " The troubling thing is , he doesn't even have a patterned target, so we can't possibly predict his next hit" Dean said as he slumped into the chair, " This is exhausting already, we've been on a back and forth all mornin' " he whined holding his head.

" Joe can you grant me access to the bodies and the actual evidence , or locations of the past murders, I have a few ideas that might get us somewhere" Raya asked causing Joe and Dean to look up " Mind sharing" they both asked " pretty sure you heard me say 'might' " Raya replied as she put the file down, and rolled up her sleeves. " Take it" Joe answered as he let out a deep breath showing how exhausted he was and pointing to the table, he and Cole had been on the case longer than anyone else , so it made sense if he was exhausted. " Thanks " Raya said as she picked up the slip. " Joe.." She called as she turned around causing Dean to stand up , " You should take a break , you need it, we'll handle things around here" Raya said with a smile before turning to Dean " Do you have to follow me everywhere?" she asked as she saw him picking up his Jacket , to which he smiled " not everywhere , but where you're going now yes" He replied walking past her and opening the door , " I'll be outside " He said as he closed the door behind him. " You're not fed up with him are you?" Joe asked stifling a laugh " No , I'm not it's just, he acts like he's my dad" Raya replied picking up her jacket, ," more like big brother to me " Joe replied as he walked to his seat ," You do know I had you two paired so someone can look after you" Joe asked as he sat down " Really?, I didn't know that" Raya replied pretending to be surprised, " Rebels like you need to be watched " Joe chuckled as he waved his hands saying she could go. ' You might as well let me 'rebel' in peace' Raya thought as she left the office.

" Where's Clark anyway?" Raya asked as she spotted Dean waiting

' looks like they're serious'

" How am I supposed to know" Dean asked getting up and motioning fro them to go " I dunno thought you knew his friend" Raya replied as she turned towards the right but stopped halfway. " You know Cole's office? " Raya asked as she contemplated the directions.

" Serves you right, she put you in your place" Cole chuckled as he looked at Clark. " Whatever Uncle, it's not like..." Clark started as he placed his head on his fists, and was about to defend himself before he was Interrupted by a knock on the door. " Come in " Cole said as he gave Clark a look telling him to stand up. " Morning detective" Raya smiled as she walked into the office , " What brings you two down here" he asks with a smile , " That's ironic" Raya replied as she placed the file on the table. " Wanted to ask where the actual contents of this file are kept" Raya said tucking her hair behind her ear. " Like , the bodies and other stuff?" Cole asked astonished " Yeah, why" Raya asked calmly,

" Nothing, I'll see the ME and get back to you guys" Cole said standing up, " You might have to go to the morgue though." He continued as he picked up his coat. " So I need permission to see them" Raya asked looking defeated, " Not unless you're a family member. ". Cole replied " If that's the case" Raya started with a smile, causing Dean and Clark to look at her weirdly, " Let's be family members" Raya stated with a smirk. "who?", the boys asked looking bewildered, " You're both part of the team right?" Raya asked , causing the boys to sigh defeatedly
