Bette: “yes, Maura, I will be available to work in this case…, how many victims are, so far?”

Maura: “Jane said that there were thirteen until Friday night, but there have been reported some others more over the weekend; the first thing we have to do is to study the victims…, Jane wants to email you the form of acceptance of the commission, you could sign and scan it, and she will send it to the mayor who will speak with Jodi…, it is very important that you sign it, Jane needs your approval to proceed, and that has to be in written”

Bette: “not a problem…, will Tina do the same?”

Maura: “well, as I’m her boss, we could do that later, but…, let me talk to her”

Tina: “yes, Maura?”

Maura: “honey you will have permission from Genetics, but what about Imhotep?”

Tina: “Maura…, I think I have to be there, otherwise it could be suspicious, they will know I’m working with the police, and…, I better still there, I may find more clues about those crimes”

Maura: “okay…, but we need a good excuse to justify your absence from Cambridge most of the day”

Tina: “hmm…, sure I will think of something and we will discuss it later”

Boston, Ma, Monday 11:00 am  

In New Haven, early morning on Monday, Bette and James were given permission to participate in a special research project in collaboration with Genetics in Cambridge for an initial period of a month, extendable to six; they have already their luggage with them and drove toward Boston, they should remain in Massachusetts for at least one month and travel with the assigned team wherever they have to. In Cambridge, Tina and Maura have used most of the morning to set a new laboratory for them and the rest of the team, so they all could do there their job as consultants; after which they went to their appointment at the station. When Tina and Maura arrived in there, they were surprised to see Joyce leaving the compound after being in Sergeant Tasha Williams’ office, apparently for a while, but Tina and Maura didn’t ask her anything, they went directly to Jane’s office, where they found also James and Bette already talking with Dan Foxworthy, a psychologist chosen as participant in the same support team, and of course detective Korsak was also there; after the respective introductions, Jane mentioned that they have to wait for sergeant Williams who had a last minute meeting, and as soon as the lieutenant was ending her words an inscrutable Tasha Williams entered the office.
