Just as Jacobs was about to turn back to his office, he saw a glimpse of her sitting down behind the sofas outside the interrogation room.
She was curled up into a ball, head held down. He approached her and patted her head. Knowing well that she won't utter a word about her inner ordeal, he kept patting her till she calmed down and led her to his office.
James was watching her through sneak peeks, regret and anger building up in him. He had heard Jared's conversation with her and was pondering it over.
Why did his brother thank her?
Did she really kill her, or was is it someone else?
What exactly happened?
Furious, he marched towards Jared's office, banging open the door. Jared who was totally slumped on his chair, fell off, startled.
"Who is it? You....what is this? Don't you know you should knock-", his talking was suddenly cut short when James grabbed his collar and shook him up.
"What happened on the Yorkay Mission? Who killed Nicole? Tell me the truth! Now!", James almost lost his cool.
"Wh-What are you talking about? You already know about what happened! Why ask again?", Jared was scared silly.
If this moron got to know what happened he would go crazy! Not that he is normal!
"Speak, use your mouth!", he flared up again.
"I-I really don't know what you are talking about! Leave my collar for god's sake!", they struggled with his collar when a knock resounded and Zsadin came in.
Her expression softened, she looked amused.
James was grabbing Jared's collar while Jared struggled to grab a bigger part of his own collar.
"You both look ridiculous, right now!", she placed the file she was holding on Jared's table and glanced at them.
"Once you are free glance through this. You are included for the Northern Borders trip scheduled after two weeks! James, aren't you leaving?", And without hearing his reply she exited the office.
After a few seconds, they realised what had happened and pushed each other away.
"What is this?", Jared picked up the file while James glared at him.
"You didn't answer me! Tell me-",
"If you are that curious, just go and ask her! Don't bug me!", and he pushed him out of the office.
Ask her! As if she will talk about it!
