Detective Bellamy Blake walked, as fast as he could before it technically qualified as running, down the narrow corridor of the police station to the Captains office. Jaha had told him he had an extremely important case he needed to discuss with him, and Bellamy knew that if he could nail whatever it was the Captain had, he was guaranteed the promotion that he deserved. Its not like he didn't like his job now, it's just that if he could get this promotion, the raise would definitely be helpful. Putting Octavia through school may be expensive, but he knew that it was his responsibility to make sure she got a good education, and ever since their mother died, Bellamy had become super protective of her. When he arrived outside the office, he knocked politely and waited to be called in.
"Ah, Detective Blake, please take a seat", Jaha said sternly and with a small smile that didn't reach his eyes. Bellamy knew something significant must be going on, the captain was never this serious unless it was an important case.
"As you know, I've called you here as we have been given an extremely important task, one which I believe you are the most qualified to lead," Jaha said slowly, "but I must warn you, this is not an easy one. This will probably be one of the most dangerous and tough cases you will ever work. The outcome will either make or break your career, so let's hope for make." Jaha said with a slight smile, so small that you could hardly see it, but it was still there.
"So…" Bellamy said after a small pause, "What is it?"
Jaha sighed very quietly and seemed to be planning how to explain the situation.
"Well, I suppose ill start from the start. I assume you've heard of the Griffin family, or at least Griffin Industries. Jake Griffin, world-known and renowned engineer. Abigail Griffin, world-know and renowned doctor. Clarke Griffin, 20, child prodigy, genius, IQ of 186, already working on a PhD in Medicine."
Holy Crap, Bellamy thought. Talk about impressive.
Jaha continued. "Exactly one week ago, Jake Griffin was executed for treason to his country."
Bellamy couldn't help but gasp and look completely shocked. Treason? Jake Griffin… Dead?
"I know what you're thinking, but it's not what it seems. Jake accidently hacked into a government base, discovering many military secrets and plots that people should never find out about. Terrorism, corruption, murder, faked deaths, you know the type. He believed that it was wrong to keep this from people, and was about to release it online, before he was apprehended."
Bellamy was confused to say the least. He understood that they couldn't have let him tell anyone, but executing him? That didn't make sense.
"Sir, I know this is a huge tragedy, but may I ask what this has to do with the case. I mean, Jake Griffin is dead, how is he going to tell anyone now?" Bellamy asked in the simplest way he could.
Jaha just shook his head slowly. "Jake may be dead, but Clarke is not. I may have forgot to mention this in her details before, but Clarke Griffin is now the most dangerous and wanted woman in America."
