"You don't have to baby-sit me you know. I'm perfectly capable of looking after and defending myself despite what certain members of our team think." Jen said as she sulked in her kitchen. She had been told in no uncertain terms that she would not be spending time alone in her apartment. Jen knew part of the reason was for her own safety and the other was because some people still did not trust her. After her interview with Agents Gold and Hanson, Jen had been pulled into Gerard's office and given what could only been described as a stern warning. She was not to go anywhere without someone with her and she was not to get involved with the case. As far as Gerard was concerned Jen was not a suspect but a possible victim and a very valuable witness. After her chat with Gerard, Jen contacted a relative of Greg's and had them pick the girls up and take them out of New York City. She had then attempted to walk home on her own back to her empty apartment. Jen didn't even get out of the precinct doors before Danny was at her side. She had protested, argued, whimpered, begged and done everything she could possibly think of to get Danny to leave her alone but he had ignored her and continued to drag her home. Now Danny was sitting on her couch watching her every move.
"You said that I never keep my promises and I'm here to prove you wrong. I promised you that one night we'd watch any DVD you wanted and order take out and just hang. And that's exactly what we are doing right now. Hanging. Besides no amount of money in the world would convince me to baby-sit you." Danny muttered. Jen sighed and looked out of her kitchen window. It overlooked several other buildings but Jen quite liked it that way. It meant she didn't spend too much time there.
"Jen can you please sit down. You're making me nervous." Danny said softly. He'd know Jen long enough to know that too much pressure would cause her to do something reckless, like contacting a certain head honcho and asking for his help. Jen walked over to the couch with a glass of water and avoided Danny's gaze. They sat like that for what seemed like hours when the buzzer went at Jen's door.
"That will be the take out. I'll buzz him in." Danny jumped up from the couch and double-checked it was the takeout guy and buzzed him up. Jen let Danny pay for the takeout and bring it over. She was tired of fighting and arguing with everyone. She sat and picked at her pizza. Danny watched her out of the corner of his eye and carried out eating his slice. They stayed like this for what seemed like hours until Danny coughed and Jen looked up. He brushed a strand of hair from her face and took a deep breath.
"Jen, what happened that day?" Danny whispered. Jen looked at her glass of water and pulled her knees to her chest.
"I really don't want to talk about it. It's too hard Danny." Jen whispered. Danny moved on the couch so that he was sitting right next to her.
"I know Jen but if this has any links to that day we need to know. What you tell me could help us find Greg, Tails. I'm right here you don't need to be scared. I'll always protect you." Danny took hold of Jen's hand and she took a deep breath and nodded.
