“Why yes, yes he was, he didn’t say anything to me though,
he was just there.”

“Thank you ma’am”

As they stepped off the porch, they looked at one another,
“He’s close to his father, it’s very likely that he would go there.  I’m going to call JJ.”  Grabbing his cell, he speed dialed JJ and was
surprised when it went directly to voicemail. “JJ this is Reid, he lived with
his father until a year ago.  Its
definitely a place he would go if he’s running.
Call me back.”

“No answer?” Rossi said.

“Voicemail.” Sighing heavily Reid continued, “I think we’ve
also confirmed one of his stressors.” Reid said.

“You’re right Reid, his mother’s death along with Detective
Rizzoli’s dismissal of him, but that was a year ago, all of this didn’t start
until what, ten days ago?”

“Rossi,” Reid reminded him, “Detective Rizzoli and Dr Isles
said they came out as a couple about two weeks ago when Detective Korsak caught
them outside of the Dirty Robber.”

“Rodriguez must have seen them, that’s the only thing that
could have precipitated this.  He
probably saw them and saw his mother again.
If I understood Ms. Ryan correctly, his father primarily raised
Rodriguez so his mother was right to be worried; there was probably a lot of
hatred in that house.  It bad enough in
his mind that Rizzoli broke it off so quickly, but to then see her months later
with a woman?”  Rossi shook his head, “It
probably brought everything crashing back at him.  This guy’s level of control is amazing, I
mean he’s a detective, to keep all of that carefully bottled up…”

“Well, I think its safe to assume that Rizzoli may well be
his next target, we need to get in touch with Emily and Frost and see what they
found at his apartment.”

Climbing into the drivers seat, he looked back at the house
and saw Ms. Ryan shaking her head in the window before moving away.

Jane drove quietly looking at JJ every now and then out of
the corner of her eye.  She knew JJ was
satisfied with Morgan’s apology, and on the face of it, so was she, to a
point.  He had insulted who she was and
while she may accept that he was apologetic for his words, his tone and body
language still told her he didn’t trust her, which was fine by her since she
didn’t trust him either.
