Morgan walked over to Ryan, "Sir, could you arrange that we talk to Jack?"
"Sure, he'll have gone back to the changing rooms, I'll take you there now if you want?"
"Yes please that would be very helpful."
Ryan started leading the way to the changing rooms after telling the team to keep on practising. When they got to the changing room they found Jack tipping Henrys bag out.
"Jack!" said Ryan as he grabbed Henrys bag off him. "I know your grieving but there's no need to be acting out like this. Henry's been a tool and he always will be so it'll do you better to ignore him"
"Ignore him? How can I ignore him when he's up in my face!"
"You're going to have to learn to otherwise you're off the team." Jack looked at Ryan shocked. Morgan saw once again the special connection he had earlier but now it was more strained.
"Leave me alone." Jack tried to leave but Ryan put his arm out.
"These men want to talk to you, they're with the FBI so you can stay in here." Ryan left to go back to the team. Jack looked at Morgan and Reid.
"So you're going to find who killed Jonny?"
"Hopefully, statistically we …. "
"What Reid is about to say in a very long winded complicated way is that we are very likely to catch him or her."
"Good" Said Jack while sitting down, "so what do you want to talk to me for?"
"To find out if you know anything about it."
"You think I did it?"
"No, not at all, but we have to look at every option. You understand that don't you?"
"I guess"
"Where was Jonny on the night"
"With some physco"
"Seriously, where was he meant to be?"
"Meeting me, when he didn't show I started making my way over. That's when…. When I found him. Laid there, dead, covered in blood and mud." Morgan noticed Jack seemed to be talking more to himself now than to them.
"Wait, you're the one that found him?"
"Yeah"
"It says here Ryan found him"
"I rang Ryan straight away, I didn't know what to do, so he came and when the police arrived he said he was first on the scene. I think it was so I didn't have to go through the whole process of what I saw. I'd have hated to describe it. I wasn't meant to say, I haven't got Ryan in trouble have I?"
"We need to talk to Ryan." Morgan took Jack's mobile number so he would be able to get in touch with him when needed and left to find Ryan.
"Ryan! We need to talk." Shouted Morgan out onto the pitch.
"Why?" asked Ryan running over.
"Jack just told us he found Jonny, our reports say you were the first to see him."
"OK, Jack was first on the scene but he couldn't look at Jonny like I could, I didn't want him to be questioned. Or have to relive it, I wanted to protect him."
-Flashback-
"Ryan? You have to help, it's Jonny he's bleeding and he, well, he's just, he's"
"Jack, calm down, tell me where you are." Said Ryan while running downstairs to get his shoes on.
"The shack, well out back. Ryan I think he might be dead"
"Don't think like that Jack, I'll be 5 minutes, stay with him." Ryan hung up and started running towards the student's favourite hang out. When he got round the corner he could see jack crouched on the floor. He ran over and saw the devastating sight of poor Jonny. "Jack stand back, have you called the police?" jack looked at Ryan and he could instantly tell Jack had used all what was left of his energy to ring Ryan. "Don't worry I'll call, but Jack listen to me very carefully, when they come you have to tell them that I was the first on here. OK? JACK OK?"
"OK"
-Present-
"He's been through enough and it would break his heart if you took him in for questioning."
"While we respect that, you do realise you have put yourself in a very bad position. We're going to have to take you in for further questioning, and we're going to have to take Jack in to get a full statement." Ryan dropped his head, the lying had been for nothing now.
In the office
"Jack, I'm really sorry but your going to have to go through everything that happened step by step. Your going to need to tell us what time he rang you to meet up and any sort of contact or anything involving Jonny after that. OK?"
"Yeah, Well, we agreed to meet at half 7"
"What time was this agreement made? By phone? In person?"
"In person at about 11, where's Ryan?"
"He's been released, what else happened?"
"When was he released, is he in the clear?"
"About 2 hours ago and yes he's cleared everything up and he's not been held for everything, what he did was wrong but through correct intentions, now back to Jonny." The door opened and JJ came in.
"Morgan sorry to disturb you but something's happened."
"What?" Asked Morgan walking over. JJ glanced at Jack and Morgan knew JJ couldn't say in front of him. "Jack I'll be back soon ok?" Jack just nodded in response.
"It's another murder, Henry."
