CHAPTER 5
"Where's the waitress" asked Cody
Cody and Davies had found her and brought her in along with the boyfriend, Cody had been careful not to interfere too much, he knew if he stepped on anyones toes, they'd be kicked out as unofficially as they were hanging in there.
Monica motioned to the bench outside the interview room which was occupied by Lisa Kay, the waitress from the hotel they'd just brought in for questioning, and Jake.
It was a massively difficult time not just for Frank but for his team as well, all of them wanted to prove him innocent, all of them wanted to end poor Jenna's torture, she was practically under house arrest with the constant bombardment from the press at the hotel they were all staying in.
"She's undergoing the Jake Shaw seduction scene, you know the one that goes ....
" Oh you poor poor baby," with a generous sprinkling of "Hey Sweetheart don't worry, I'll protect you from the big bad policeman" laughed Monica in a childish impersonation.
"Oh yeah, yeuuuk" he shivered. "Don't know how, but it usually does the trick"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
"Lisa, baby, he's hurt you hasn't he" asked Jake. "I...I don't know what you're talking about" she stuttered.
"Come on Lisa, you're covering for him, I can see through the make-up, he beats you doesn't he?"
"No.... no... I.." she sobbed. "Walked into a door??" finished Jake.
"Lisa, just remember that he's still on parole, If you press charges he's going straight back inside" reasoned Jake. "I wan't to help you, but I also need your help, I need you to go into that interview room and tell Sergeant Davies and my colleague Agent Sanchez everything you can"
Jake pulled Lisa closer to him in a warm show of compassion, he was close to breaking her, really close he just had keep up the tempo.
"How many times has he hurt you before sweetheart, twice, three times, more than that??
Lisa looked into Jake's eyes and saw nothing but compassion and sympathy.
"You promise me he'll.....he'll go back to prison" she pleaded.
"He has to go back to prison, or you're looking at another walking corpse"
"You have my word"
"Okay" she sighed "where do we start, I'll tell them everything I can, I just hope it's enough."
Jake almost passed out with relief. "Good girl, you know you may have just saved a man's life"
"I just hope you can save mine" she said slowly closing her eyes and taking a deep breath.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
"I don't know how the hell you do that, but I'm sure glad you do" said Cody after Lisa had disappeared into the interview room. "Just call it perfection, I'm the perfect man, who can resist me" joked Jake.
"Way too much testosterone around here, I'm off" laughed Monica. "Good work though"she added "Let's just hope it pays off"
"Jake, I need your help," Cody said quietly. "Mark Bailey the boyfriend, I need you to go over the prison records with me, I overheard your little seduction scene and she's trying to tell us something"
"I know" replied Jake "That is one hell of a scared lady, let's get started."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Visitors Room..........Rikers Island
Jenna sat waiting on one side of the glass partition all manner of thoughts and worries dancing in her head.
"Jesus" she whispered to herself
Frank sat down grimacing on the other side of the screen and slowly picked up the intercom, a sad smile appearing on his worry worn face which now was sporting almost a full beard.
"Hey" he whispered his voice cracking with emotion "How're you holding up baby"
"Never mind me, what the hell happened to you" she pleaded.
After the initial shock of seeing her husband bruised, cut and obviously in some considerable pain she'd managed from somewhere to keep it together for long enough to question him about it.
"Had to be taught my place" he sighed "Jenna, we both knew what it'd be like for me inside"he explained.
"I'm a sitting target and a prize for anyone who wants to boost their status in here, kick a Fed run is the latest game in the cell block, and seeing as there's only one Fed in here I'm public enemy number one".
Jenna swiftly changed the subject, if she didn't she'd break down in front of him and she wasn't going to burden him with that on top of everything else.
"Did Alan tell you the news" she asked.
"Yes, he made a point of stopping by this morning to let me know, it's just that I didn't have a great deal of influence on that case as you know, you were there, so was Robert, we only put a few of the missing pieces together, we didn't actually bust him did we? Frank said, scratching his head in puzzlement.
"I know , I know, Robert and I both thought the same thing, but all of your team are working flat out on this, you do know that don't you?"
"Then I couldn't hope for any more, could I" he said actually smiling.
"You do realise they're going to find out about Steven, don't you" said Jenna.
"What does any of that matter now, he's been dead and buried for three years"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
"How're you going with the boyfriend, Bailey isn't it" asked Jake.
"Does banging your head against a brick wall explain it enough", said Alex shaking her head.
"He knows he's going down for assault and battery, yet again, so in his twisted wisdom he's not going to fess up for anything else"
"How's it gone with the girl anyways" asked Det. Jameson who'd just exited the interview room behind Alex.
"Oh that went much much sweeter, I'll fill you all in, meet me in the conference room in half an hour" said Jake. Just got a few loose ends to tie up."
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Alex had been nominated as chief pizza bringer for everyone, she didn't mind, they were all working so hard on this that eating had been the last thing on their minds and they were all now starving.
"Shoulda brought a truck to carry this lot" she thought.
Walking back towards the police building she was absent mindedly looking in the store windows, when suddenly her breath caught in her throat at a particular reflection behind her. She turned around but the owner of the reflection had disappeared.
"Jesus I've got that man on the brain" she said to no-one in particular, shaking her head, "I'm even seeing things now, time for a break" she cussed. "Ah Mr. Pizza, the wonder cure for hallucinations, you'll put me back on the straight and narrow won't you"
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
After the usual pizza war was over Monica, Alex, Robert and Sgt. Davies were waiting with baited breath to see what Jake and Cody had unearthed.
Cody began....
"Mark Bailey, is saying nothing, his girlfriend however isn't, she's already told us that Bailey forced her to slip Donovan the Rohypnol after his meal, apparently it was an order from someone she had only spoken to on the telephone, but shared a cell with Bailey in Rikers"
"So we run a trace on all the cellmates from his time in there, yeah!" said Davies.
"Already done that, she gave us a name that Bailey called the other guy.......Rosie, she said, was the one who gave the order to drug Donovan." Said Jake.
"Another thing preyed on my mind that Lisa said, one little sentence "or you'll be looking at another walking corpse" were her words" said Cody.
"Look just cut to the punchline, you're killing me here" screamed Alex.
Jake passed around a photograph of the man known as Rosie, It was as if all the air got sucked out of the room, such was the intake of breath.
"Look just bear with me Okay" Cody asked.
They all nodded.
"After he was freed from jail he went to work for a warehousing company upstate, a fire three years ago was the cause of his ""death"" he has a grave, a headstone and a death certificate was issued, but after Lisa's words I did some more digging and found out that he was identified by dental records alone, the body had been so badly burned"
"After some chasing around, I've proved without a shadow of a doubt that those records were faked, I think he's still alive"
"Cody, I know he's still alive" said Alex "I just saw him in the street, I thought I was seeing things but I guess I'm not Huh?
"His name is Steven........Steven Rosen .........................
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
The sound of the telephone ringing interrupted them all.
"Hello, may I speak to the lovely Alex Sanchez please," came a strangely familiar voice.
"Speaking"
"Well ,well, well, you are good at your jobs aren't you, I knew when you caught sight of me that it wouldn't take long for you to piece everything together, still It's not enough to spring him out of the pen is it, you need much more than this"
Alex sighed motioning to Cody to get the trace on "What, and you're going to give it to us I suppose"
"Of course I am, after brother dearest spends a little more time repenting for his past sins"
"I'll be in touch, be sure to give him my regards and tell him I'll see him very, very, soon."
