It's what Lizzie would have wanted.

Yet for all the warmth and peace that I found going to sleep in that bed, it didn't stop me from waking up at five am and going over case notes in my room. There wasn't much more I could study at the moment. I needed to get out there, to the place where all three people were kidnapped. The fact that Bauer knew the code to the med room intrigued me- a man of his position really shouldn't have that number. Either he'd stolen it or somebody had given it to him. That locked drawer intrigued me as well. It wasn't as involved in the case as the video footage of him freaking out was, but it was still an anomaly. Jayden or Stéphanie could be involved in why he was so scared, and could therefore be directly related to the disappearances. Now that it was morning and my brain was in gear, I regretted sleeping with Stéphanie. She could be a suspect- in fact, she was a suspect, and rule 1 of detective work was to not sleep with suspects. And seal of a crime scene. There was a lot of rule ones.

I mulled over the victims once more, turning their names around in my head, their ranks and where they disappeared. At five o' clock in the morning, Jayden should be in the med room. I stood up, stretching and hearing my back crack. I walked out of the room, and made my way to the med room, the way I had now learnt off by heart. Before, however, I paid a visit to administrator Steele. It went the usual way: he asked me how everything was going, I didn't tell him. Then I made a request to send a few men outside a particular doorway and to clear a room with just a table and two chairs in it, thank you very much. I then quickly walked to the med lab.

The keypad was green next to the door. I didn't bother knocking. Jayden O' Grady was hunched over some paperwork. He was in the process of putting some paper in a drawer when he greeted me. Or, who he thought was walking into his office early in the morning.

'Devlin,' he said. I recognized the name as a person on the team of scientists. 'If that's you I'll need…' He looked up. 'Oh.' He said. I raised my eyebrows.

'Expecting someone?' I asked.

'None of your business Dowell.'

'Okay. What is my business is why Bauer had the code for this room.' Jayden looked up at me again, and put his best 'what the hell are you still doing here' expression.

'Why do you want to know?'

'Why do I want to know anything?'

'Why should I tell you?'

'Because I'm the investigator. I investigate.'

'I'm not telling you.'

'Wrong answer,' I glanced at the drawer but Jayden closed it quickly. 'That makes me think you don't want me to know.'

Jayden paused before putting his pen down on the table and staring me straight in the eyes.

'Yeah, I thought you knew I intentionally am not telling you anything because you tried to kill me. And your eyes are goddamn weird.'

'Thanks. And I hardly think that throwing a mug in your general vicinity is attempted murder.'

'You could have killed me. Or even just hurt me.' He got up and started pacing, cracking his knuckles.

'Shame I didn't.' Jayden looked at me incredulously.

'You know, I can't even begin to imagine how you got this job.'

'None of your business.' I snapped back.

'Fine. Just like any information I may or may not have isn't any of your business.'

I rubbed my eyes.

'What if I said I was sorry?'

'No change.'

'Good, because I wasn't going to.' I stood up, and marched over to the door. I beckoned the soldiers in, who didn't know me otherwise they probably wouldn't have followed me, and walked back over to the desk.

'Come with us to the interrogation room.'

'What the hell…' Jayden said. 'Now way am I…'

'Guys.' I said. The guards didn't do anything. I had to make an explicit order for them to go and grab him, which took a lot of the fun away from it.

'Get off me, hey get off!' Jayden shook himself from their grip and straightened his jacket. 'Alright!' He looked at me. 'I'll go.'

The 'interrogation' room left a lot to be desired. It was way too small, the table nearly taking up the width of the room, and the chairs looked way too comfortable. All I wanted was a large, dimly lit, steel room with maybe a two-way mirror, temperature control, and an old door so I could slam it on my way out. Was that too much to ask?

I left Jayden in there, as was customary in these types of situations. Just sometimes you'd get someone who was so nervous by waiting for a long time, they would confess as soon as you entered the room. When I turned to Private Investigation there was less of that due to not actually having an interrogation room. And I've said too much. Have I?

Anyway, I spent the time waiting, just thinking about Stéphanie when I should have been thinking about Jayden. I had left the room before she woke up, maybe she was offended. And anyway, what did I care?

I stopped myself and focused on the task in hand. I remembered Jayden was a part of the science team. It was absolutely possible that he knew something. I had to question him, there was no doubt about it. I was deliberating on how I would make my entrance when Max came up to me, holding a mug of something in his hand. He stopped and said hello.

'Shouldn't you be working?' I said to him.

'Shouldn't you?'

I nodded my head at the door behind me.

'I am.'

'Anything I can do to help?' he asked. I turned to look at him. Why was he asking me if I needed help? He should hate me. Everyone does, apparently. I took the mug from his hands and drank the remaining contents. I scowled.

'Green tea?'

'It's healthy.'

'So what?' I retorted. I turned my back on him and entered the room. Luckily, Jayden hadn't hung himself in the time he was waiting. He was slumped in his chair, his hands in his pockets. He looked me in the eyes when I came in.

'You've finally arrived.' He said. I said nothing, instead sitting down and setting the mug on the table. The walls felt like they were constricting me. I took a deep breath, careful to not let my slight claustrophobia show. I scratched my cheek and was silent for another minute before speaking.

'Jayden O' Grady. On the science team that all three people disappeared, best human doctor on Pandora, not telling me something.' I leant forward, getting closer to him, trying to ignore the feeling that the walls were ever so slowly closing in on me. 'Are you going to tell me it so we don't have to waste both our time?'

'I've already told you. I'm not going to say anything because you tried to kill me.' He replied stubbornly. I sighed, leant back and picked up the mug, turning it over in my hands.

'If I wanted to kill you, I'd have smashed this mug over your head already. Now don't you think that it's a little childish to let your personal feelings about me get in the way of an investigation? If you didn't do anything, you have to tell me so I can solve this thing.'

I decided to continue when I saw Jayden look slightly guilty.

'These are people, and at the moment, we don't know what happened to them. We've got to push all our feelings out of the window. When I solve this thing I'll go ten rounds with you if that's what you want. Just view it as the facts. Is there anything you know?'

There was silence before Jayden asked me a question.

'How did your eyes get to be different colours?' I sighed and decided that if I told him, he'd me more likely to co-operate.

'It's called Heterochromia Iridum.' I found it weird that he didn't mention the name, but supposed he might have not come across it. 'It was just a fight in school when I was a kid. I got hit in the eye, and here I am, one blue eye and one green.' There was more to it than that, but to tell you the truth, I wasn't comfortable talking about my past to Jayden, and I really wanted to get out of that room.

'Okay.' Jayden said, almost imperceptibly. 'You might be not so bad after all, Dowell.' I didn't say anything. 'Bauer had the code because he had frequent headaches, I gave it to him because I was tired of him waking me up just so I could get him a new bottle of pills.'

'Why couldn't you have just given him more than one bottle?' I asked.

'It's against company policy. If someone else needed those pills and I'd given them all to Bauer, I'm in a bad situation.' I nodded.

'Tell me what happened when John T Sanford disappeared.'

'I wasn't on the team back then, I was only there for Wraith and Bauer.'

'Okay then, What happened when Sydney Wraith disappeared?'

'We'd just finished finding more samples of the new species of plant we'd found. We'd gone back to the Avatar cabin we've got in the woods so that we didn't keep having to go back and forth with our Avatar's. That day it was only me, her and Gemmel I think.'

I understood the name from the list of the crew members that I'd received not long ago. I hadn't met him yet

'I went into the separate room to have some privacy for a while, me and Gemmel didn't get along much. Next thing I know, Gemmel comes in and asks me where Wraith was. I said I didn't know, so we looked for her. That was it. We couldn't find her at all. So we both called for a helicopter and came back here.'

I nodded, thinking. He was about to tell me about Bauer when Max burst into the room, out of breath

'Anthony!' He shouted far too loud. I turned around, annoyed.

'What is it, Dr Max? Has my Avatar got earache?'

'Anthony, you're gonna want to see this.'

'What? What am I going to want to see?'

'You should come and see this for yourself.' I huffed, turned around and pointed at Jayden.

'Stay here.' I snapped. He nodded.

Max led me through the corridors and into a room not far from one of the main entrances. The room was not unlike the coffee room that me and Stéphanie sometimes spent time in, but it was empty apart from 3 people. David Steele was pacing the room, massaging his temples. A soldier without his weapons was stood by a red sofa.

Sat on the red sofa was a person sat down with a very straight posture, and eyes that looked glazed over. I couldn't believe it.

I was staring into the eyes of David Bauer.
