Questions Answered

It had been a week since the rampage and as soon as they were discharged from the hospital, Jimmy and Abby were taken straight to FBI head quarters for questioning. There had been two officials who visited the hospital, but they hadn't been able to answer many questions. Jimmy tried his hardest to answer everything he could, but he simply didn't know everything about what happened, and he wasn't about to let a bunch of people blindly ask Abby questions that would make her go back to that time. Sure, they'd discussed it, with each other, but Jimmy knew that his conversations with her were completely different then people who didn't care about her, and who didn't understand her interrogating her. Lucky for them, Abby and Jimmy were to be talked to at headquarters together.

When they finally reached the large, grey, and honestly imposing looking building, they were met by Agent Hanson and Agent Perez, who smiled at them and walked them into their office.

"Welcome Miss Mills, Mr. Mance." Hanson said, nodding to both of them respectfully. Abby simply nodded back, and Jimmy, with the hand not being taken by Abby's, shook Hanson's hand, even though he felt really strange about being called 'Mr. Mance '. As they took their seats, Abby had a feeling this was going to be long and she was going to have to dig very deep to answer the questions that were no doubt coming, so she squeezed Jimmy's hand for support. Sensing her fear when he felt gentle pressure on his left hand, Jimmy squeezed the delicate hand, back, to let her know he was there.

"I'm very glad to see that both of you have recovered quite well." He acknowledged with a smile, "Now, I just have a few questions to ask you, to clear up some details. First, seeing as you two were the, um, last people to have communication with Henry Dunn, did he tell either of you anything about his reasons for, well, doing what he did?" he asked awkwardly, but both Jimmy and Abby appreciated that he trying the best he could to be delicate. Abby took in a deep breath before speaking up.

"It was me." She stated coldly. "It was all because he wanted me alone, on the island. Anything we thought we knew about him was all an act. So he could get away with everything he did, right under our noses…" Abby took in another breath, and Jimmy, knowing how hard saying even that was, started rubbing her arm consolingly.

"Did he say any more to either of you? Or about his intentions on the island, after he was, um, finished?" Hanson asked, knowing it was touchy but not fully understanding what the two lovers were really going through.

"He wanted to have a life, with me. His plan was to have me never find out about his rampage, and that I was his half-sister or that his father was the monster who killed my mom. But I did find out. He overlooked all of his lies finally not adding up, and Madison and Shea's escape." She breathed out, finding the tears in her eyes harder to hold back. "That's why he..." Jimmy knew she wouldn't be able to continue, so he looked at Abby, put his arm around her shoulders as she started sobbing into his shirt and took over and told Hanson what he knew.

"That's why he kept me alive. Shea and her daughter knew there was someone helping Wakefield, so I was his scapegoat. After making me sign the fake confession, he was gonna kill me, and in his mind he'd try to force Abby to accept what he did." Abby started to sob even more, to even think about having to let go of everyone and everything she loved, especially for that reason, was just more than she could bear.

"Um, that clears up many things, thank you both. There is just one more thing we need to ask, and then we won't bother you two anymore, alright?" Hanson said, sounding not completely sure about if it was a good idea or not. All Abby and Jimmy did, or really wanted to do, was nod.

"Seeing as John Wakefield had been killed by Henry Dunn, we need to ask who killed Mr. Dunn." Before Hanson was even finished asking the question, Jimmy braced himself for Abby's probable meltdown, and when it did happen, he kissed her head and looked her in the eyes. Jimmy knew answering this question would be hard for her, he didn't want her to answer, but to his surprise, she spoke, after around five minutes.

"I did," Her voice cracked. "He was coming at us, and Jimmy was really hurt. The boarding knife that he threw off the cliff was right beside me, so I followed my instincts; I had to protect Jimmy, and myself. So I…I did the only thing I could." She finished, not even thinking about what might happen because she told the truth. Jimmy, on the other hand, was honestly proud of her, for talking about the only thing they'd avoided in conversation, barely faltering.

"Well, Miss Mills, thank you, that was very brave of you to say. I'm happy to tell you that you're fully protected from prosecution, seeing as you were protecting someone else's life, as well as your own. I think we're done here, and I'd like to thank you both, for your cooperation today, and I'm very sorry for all your loss." Hanson said as he stood up. Jimmy and Abby then, slowly got up and walked into the hallway.

"That really was brave, Abby. I'm so proud of you." Jimmy said to her with a slight smile before kissing her head and then her lips softly. Abby smiled as much as she could, given the circumstances, at Jimmy, thinking about how lucky she was to have him there. She couldn't imagine doing any of this by herself; it would have torn her apart. Even thinking about it made her grab Jimmy's hand as tight as she could.

As they walked into the main lobby together, they were unexpectedly met by Shea and Madison.

"Abby! Jimmy! You're okay!" Madison yelled as she ran up and squeezed Abby, then Jimmy as tightly as she possibly could. Abby was happy to see Madison, but worried about what Shea was going to say to her; after all, the last time they saw each other, Shea was accusing Jimmy of helping…Abby didn't finish that thought.

"Abby, I'm so sorry, for everything, just…" Shea croaked apologetically as she hugged Abby and Jimmy. "And Jimmy, I really do owe you an apology! I didn't help anything by making everyone suspicious of you like that, and…I'm just sorry to both of you for everything." There was a tone of sincerity in her voice as she spoke, but something seemed broken.

As Shea started speaking to Jimmy about what happened more, Abby was overcome with sympathy for Shea. Over the course of four days, she'd lost her father, husband, and sister, not to mention finding out in the middle of all of this that her husband had been cheating on her with her stepmother. Then, as Madison started talking to Abby, she started to feel extremely bad for Madison too. She didn't know how long she was sitting there with Madison, trying not to cry, but before things got too out of hand for her, Jimmy turned to Abby and kissed her forehead.

"Abby? Shea wants us to stay with her for a little while, but I'll let you chose. You don't have to." He told her, with a little concern for her. He didn't know if going to stay with Shea was a good idea or not. On the one hand, it would certainly be bigger than going back to Abby's place in L.A, but on the other hand, something about staying with the other two people from the wedding party didn't seem like the best of ideas. So after a moment of thinking, when Abby graciously turned Shea's offer down, Jimmy wasn't at all surprised or upset.

"Well, if you need anything, anything at all call me okay?" Shea said to both of them as they were about to part ways.

"That's very generous of you, Shea, thanks." Jimmy said as she and Madison hugged them both good-bye and left the building. While they waited for their cab to bring them to their hotel, Jimmy and Abby sat together in a comfortable silence and played with each other's hands, enjoying the quiet moment they currently had together.

Thanks for reading, hope you enjoyed it but either way tell me what you think please. :) Love you all!
