Bit weird, something i made up as I went along. Just so you know i have only seen series seven i know someone shoot me lol :) thanks x
Kate was stood at the end of the corridor her eyes closed. Where Jefferson had hit her blood trickled. She put her fingers to the side of her head and cursed. Her hands were shaking, she didn't know why, Jefferson hadn't scared her. It was then she noticed her eyes were wet too, she wasn't in pain or anything so why was she crying? Who was she kidding, she knew why she was crying. It was because being in that room with him, with all the anger that was being channeled towards her made her think about the childhood she longed to forget.
"Kate..." She heard Jake's voice and immediately pulled herself together before turning to him.
"Yeah?" She knew she sounded way too calm and collected for someone who had been punched in the face but she wasn't about to explain to Jake her life story.
"Are you ok?" he asked looking genuinely concerned.
She nodded but he gave her that 'seriously' look and she smiled weakly. "I'm fine..." She lied and he let it drop.
"You don't have to continue with this case if you don't want to you know..." He started but she stopped him.
"I'm fine ok, Jake?" She said probably sounding a little more harsh than she'd intended. "I better get myself sorted out before Henry takes me off the case..." She then walked away feeling bad for leaving Jake when he was just being nice to her but she was on edge and just wanted to be on her own.
Henry arrived to see Kate walk off and Jake lean his back against the wall. he at first assumed that they must have been arguing again, he was used to it by now, he didn't mind it as long as they got results.
"You two argued again?" he asked "Why have two police officers just taken Jefferson, I thought you were talking to him him?"
"We were, then he punched Kate in the face." Jake replied.
"Oh my...is she ok?" He questioned, Kate was one of them, Henry knew exactly what Jefferson was capable of and he knew everyone in the underworld would sleep a lot safer and maybe turn their life's around the sooner he was serving life.
"She say's she fine but you know this is Kate we're talking about. I don't know..." He looked at he floor thinking about his friend, replaying that scene of Jefferson lunging at her, her running off and him shouting at Eleanor.
Henry nodded understandingly "Well I'd tell her to go home but unless we sedate her that's not going to happen, so just keep an eye on her for the rest of the day."
"Of cause." Jake said. He knew Kate probably hadn't meant to snap at him but she sounded angry and that worried him, she didn't normally shout at him and actually mean it.
He went back to the office to occupy himself till she came back.
When Kate was sure she had calmed down and could go back to the office she straightened her skirt and walked back down the corridor. Everything that had happened in the past half hour she pushed out of her mind and promised herself she could do her shouting when she got home for now, work.
She walked into her and Jake's shared office, Jake sat looking at something on his computer so she manged to sit down at her desk without him seeing her, or so she thought.
"Henry says to look over the crime scene photos again." he said suddenly making her jump slightly.
"Your eyes are in a funny place Jacob..." She muttered under her breath bringing the folder on her desk closer to her.
He smirked getting up to look at the pictures with her. Three pictures, the only things different were the victims, Victoria Castle, Kerrigan Talbot and Jaime Ray. Jake sighed making Kate look at him. "What?" She questioned.
"Nothing just erm Kerrigan...that's my sister's name..." he told her looked at the photo.
"I didn't know you had a sister..." She said and he nodded in response. "I thought you were an only child...it's just you never mentioned her so..."
"It's easier that way..." He paused. "I haven't spoken to her for nearly five years now..."
"How come...?" Kate asked knowing the kind of reply she was going to get.
"It doesn't matter..." he shrugged it off and they spent the next hour or so trying to put their case together before anything else went wrong.
