Bellevue Hospital New York
Omar Zidane and Maggie were about to leave when doctor Thomas St. John came in with a slight run towards the two FBI agents.
"Gen Zidane!" call the forensic doctor. "I've found the poison !"
Omar and Maggie looked at each other. "What's the doctor's poison?" ask the man of Egyptian blood.
"Aconite" replied Dr. Thomas St. John was calm.
"Aconite?" omar and Maggie together.
"Not those that have been processed in capsule form, but those that are still raw have not been extracted. It only takes a few milligrams to kill a Grizzly bear!"
Omar and Maggie looked at each other. "Where to find pure aconite?"
"Because they're from India, I know that there's an aconite plant there... Wolfsbane." Dr. Thomas showed the plant on his cell phone to Omar and Maggie.
"Finally he can calm down too" Samuel said as he exited Priyanka Rao's nursery. "Hows it? Have you seen the poison doc?"
"Aconite" the three men answered, causing Samuel to gawk.
"Aconites? Got it from where? Isn't New York a banned crop?" Samuel looked at the three people in front of him.
"That's what we have to investigate, Sam" Omar replied. "Thanks doc." The tall man patted Dr. Thomas on the shoulder. "But why did Vikhram die while Priyanka survived?"
"Let me tell you when he wakes up OZ. Now you find out who did it.." Samuel's words stopped when Maggie's phone rang.
"Excuse. Hello Billy... Yaah... Aconites... Indian Aconite? We have to dig into the background of both... " Maggie looked at the three men there. "It was found in the chicken curry that Tiffany took from the fridge."
"It means it's from the Indian restaurant to Singh's apartment" Omar said.
"Okay Billy's. We met at JOC." Maggie turned off her call. "We need to get back to the bureau, Omar."
"Rights. Thank you all Sammy, doctor Thomas" said Omar.
"I'll let you know if there's an update, OZ" Samuel said.
"Thanks." -."

JOC (Joint Operation Center) FBI Plaza Building Manhattan New York
"Oke Vikhram Singh, 35, an Indian embassy attache, is engaged to Priyanka Rao, 26, architect of the West End Miller area Architects office." Chief Reid read the data of the two victims on many JOC space wall monitor screens. "Digest all their past, their disgrace, their criminal record ! I need all people ! If unsub dares to poison them both, it doesn't mean he won't do it again !"
"Chief ! I found disgrace!" said Ian Lee. "Vikhram Singh was dating..." The Korean computer technician turned his head when he saw the four FBI field agents coming to the JOC room and waiting until everyone was ready to listen. "I'm proceeding. Vikhram Singh dated one of his co-workers Lakshmi Cheema, which lasted almost nine years."
"OKAY. Then?"
"Based on her social media posts, Lakshmi hopes to get married soon but six months ago, Vikhram was engaged to Priyanka Rao."
"Crime with passion" Tiffany said.
"Did Lakshmi Cheema go to India often?" ask Omar Zidane.
"OZ, Lakshmi's a liaison (liaison) between the Indian embassy and the United States so yeah... He used to go back and forth between New Delhi and New York." Ian looked at Omar Zidane.
"Because he's an embassy liaison, surely he has diplomatic immunity to bring aconite from India to the US. Ian, check when Lakshmi Cheema was last in India." Maggie looked at Ian who was busy with his gadget.
"A month ago."
"Aconites? That substance is in the poison of Vikhram Singh and Priyanka Rao, OZ?" ask Chief Reid.
"Yes Chief's. And there must be a trigger..." Omar's cell phone rang and the man picked him up. "Yes Sammy?" The tall man stared at everyone in the JOC room. "Okay, thanks for the info." Omar put his cell phone in his pocket. "Priyanka Rao is eight weeks pregnant and her fetus is not safe."
"I think that's the trigger. Lakshmi may be able to accept Vikhram choosing Priyanka Rao but pregnant, not her let. Lakshmi, wants to be Vikhram Singh's mistress because she has been in a relationship for a long time. We don't know what happened until they parted ways, but it's clear the news made him angry" Chief Reid said. "You guys, bring Lakshmi Cheema here and I'll call the Indian embassy to give you permission to interview one of his employees."
"Because of Nina, Indian curry has a sharp taste and smell that can disguise the bitter taste of aconite poison. Especially if Lakshmi gives in the form of still pure wolfsbane plant, the more not felt" replied Omar who had read about the plant along the way to the office from the hospital.
"It's an Indian aconite" Kelly Moran said on television. "Beautiful but arguably the queen of all plant poisons. It takes 2 milligrams to kill a human and we don't know how much to put in that curry."
"It looks like we've had cases like this, right? Either at the FBI or the NYPD" Billy Boyd said.
"Looks." Tiffany looked at her partner.
"Lakshmi's home address, Ian" pinta Omar.
"On it into each other's phones."

Lakshmi Cheema House
Omar and Maggie knocked on Lakshmi's apartment door, but there was no answer.
"Well, is Lakshmi at the embassy?" ask Omar through his earpiece.
"He's not in his office. Chief Reid said, permission is not feeling well." replied Ian.
"Guys, Lakshmi is at JFK Airport, en route to New Delhi!" exclaim Kelly. "The name's on the manifest of the flight there using Indian Air."
Omar and Maggie looked at each other. "We're going to JFK now !"

JFK New York Airport
The four FBI agents rushed into the airport and searched the gate of an Indian Air flight to New Delhi.
"Gate how much is Ian ?" ask Billy.
"Gate 12 !"
The four rushed to Gate 12 and coincided with the last passenger about to enter the airport towards the door of the plane. Airport ground officers could only let the four agents in jackets and the FBI kevlar give their identification.
The four got on the plane and split the team. Billy and Tiffany to economy class passengers, Omar and Maggie to business class passengers.
Omar saw Lakshmi Cheema sitting drinking champagne in the front business chair by the window.
"I found her (I found her)" Omar said in his earpiece and Maggie followed her partner.
The woman looks calm even looks like she wants to vacation if noticed from her outfit.
"Laksmi Cheema, can you come with us? FBI" said Omar Zidane, staring coldly at the Indian woman.
"For what?" answer Lakshmi indifferently.
"Stand up (stand ) ! Lakshmi Cheema, you are under arrest for the murder of Vikhram Singh and the attempted murder of Priyanka Rao and the murder of Priyanka's fetus" Omar replied, while Maggie immediately pulled Lakshmi and handcuffed the woman's hand behind her back.
"So that b1tch miscarried? Good !" kekeh Lakshmi while being taken away Maggie out of the plane.
Omar just took a deep breath. Oh boy's...
