Jessy awoke lying down, in white room. Her and Kenny's hands were both handcuffed in front of them. Jessy sat up and rubbed her head. She looked over at her partner, who was sleeping on the floor and realized she didn't know where the hell she was. She stood up and looked around the room; she noticed a mirror on the other side of the room. She had been in one too many interrogation rooms to know what it actually was. She stuck up her middle finger and gave a smug smile at it. Turning back toward Kenny, she kicked him hard in the leg.
"Wake up, someone is coming." Jessy said.
Kenny turned over in his sleep and grunted, "Five more minutes mommy."
The door to the room opened and two men came in. One was bald but still had some dark hair growing around his bald spot. He was short and looked like he was in his forties. The other man was tall with dark hair, dark eyes, with a very attractive build.
The short man came over towards the two teenagers and said, "Ok, get up, nappy time is over." The tall man pushed Kenny onto his feet. Jessy decided to go along and not struggle. She loved letting the enemy think they had total control.
The two men set down Jessy and Kenny in chairs, in front of a rather large man sitting behind a desk. Jessy folded her hands in her lap and leaned back in her chair. She looked at the name plaque sitting on the man's desk, which said "Official". The man, named Official, looked up from his paper work and folded his hands on his desk. "So these are the two buglers?" The man said raising his eyebrow at them. "Who sent you two?"
"Whoa man nobody sent us, we work for ourselves. She was the one who busted in and stole the file by-the-way." Kenny said quickly trying to defend himself.
Jessy gave Kenny a venomous look and said, "Yes but you were an accomplice, so don't even thinking of buying your way out this Kenny Elders."
"Kenny Elders," The man sitting behind the desk said. "Well we now know at least one of your names. Eberts, find background information on Kenny Elders." The shrimpy looking man, standing in the corner of the room, nodded and wrote something down on a piece of paper. "May I ask what yours is, miss?" The fat man said looking towards Jessy.
"That's classified," Jessy replied rubbing her now free wrist and taking a sip of water from the glass of water that was in front of her.
The bald man in back started making baffled sounds. "How did she…?"
"Hobbes shut up." Said the fat man.
"Yes Chief." Hobbes replied.
"Unlike this piece of crap over here, I know when to keep my mouth shut and not to reveal everything that I know." Jessy said nodding her head in Kenny's direction.
"Oh I forgot, you have military experience!" Kenny said sarcastically.
"Like I said I know when to keep my mouth shut!" Jessy yelled kicking Kenny in the shin again.
"Ouch! Come on Fawkes it's like Kilwallski is going to care!"
The room went silent and the behind the Official sat a little straighter. "Fawkes did you say? Well it seems you share something in common with one of our agents."
"Yeah, well, Fawkes is a common last name." Jessy replied.
"You were in the military, well I'm guessing that Kilwallski is, or was your commanding officer. Which so happens he is a close friend of mine." The Official said reaching for the phone and pounding numbers in. "Yes, this is Charles Borden from the Fish and Game Department, is General Kilwallski there? Good I'll wait." Jessy put her head in her hands and pushed back her hair. She knew what was coming, if Kilwallski knew she had been arrested, he would surly skin her alive. "Yes Kilwallski, this is Charlie, you will never guess who showed up in my office. She goes by the name Fawkes. Oh so you heard. No, no, we'll straiten it out, but I would like a file on Miss Fawkes. She says it's classified. Of course you can."
The Official handed the phone off to Jessy, who stood up and paused before saying, "Hiya, Chief!" Jessy jerked away the phone from her ear as Kilwallski yelled into the phone. It was so loud that the two men sitting in back could hear every word. Jessy placed the phone back to her ear and said, "Retrieving any information about me that is classified, sir. What! Why cant you? ...Yes sir. I'll see you tomorrow morning, sir." Jessy slammed the phone back onto its base, then saluted and gave the phone the middle finger.
The Official sat back up in his chair. "Mr. Elders, you may leave, you are free to go."
"All right I'm out of here!" Kenny said standing up to be unhand-cuffed.
"Miss Fawkes is to remain here for further questioning." Jessy rolled her eyes. After Kenny left the room the Official said, "Now Miss Fawkes, did you look into this file that you stole?"
"Nope. Why would I look into my own file if I already know what's in it?" replied Jessy. Official raised his eyebrow in surprise.
"You're saying that you thought this was your file?"
"Yeah. But clearly that's not my file seeing that Kilwallski wants my ass down at the agency to get my file, for you."
"Well it would seem that this was just one big misunderstanding, doesn't."
"Yep it certainly is. Can I go now, and could you cancel my meeting with Kilwallski." Jessy said standing up to go.
"Sit back down, I have one more question," said the Official. Jessy sat back down in her chair and sighed. "Did you see anything unusual last night? Be honest now."
Jessy started to twiddle her thumbs while staring at the Official. She turned her head towards the tall man sitting beside her and tried to remember from last night. That man just appeared out of no where. Should she say anything? "Maybe I did and maybe I didn't. I'm pretty sure if I told you, you'd think I'm crazy. But I wonder why would Department of Fish and Games haul my ass over here just for a measly little file?"
The Official just looked at her and smiled. "You did see something." Jessy nodded. "Well now, that's settled, all we need now is your file. So you come back here tomorrow morning with that file. You jump town, and we'll hunt you down."
"Where am I suppose to go?"
"Where ever you have been staying at."
"But that's all the way across town! And if I know Kenny the little dick probably took my bike."
"Take a cab."
"Don't have any money."
"Then I'll have on of my agents take you home. Fawkes."
Jessy looked at the tall man who shared the same last name as her then said, "Thanks I'll walk or sleep in the street." Jessy got up and walked out the door slamming it behind her.
Jessy walked along the sidewalk cursing under her breath. How did she get in this mess? Her bike was gone, she had no way of getting to her place, no way to feed her dog, and worst of all she had to face Kilwallski in the morning.
Jessy turned her head to see a car pulling up beside the sidewalk along side her. It was the man named Fawkes. She stopped walking and rolled her eyes as he rolled down the window. "Want a ride?" He said.
"No." Jessy snapped. "Not from you."
"Why, not from me?"
Jessy looked at him then said, " Well for starters, I barely even know you."
"Well come to dinner with me and get to know me." He smiled at her.
Jessy thought for a moment. "Fine." She walked to the other side of the car and got in. She threw her helmet in the backseat and put her feet on the dash.
He looked at her feet on the dash then said, "I'm Darien, and you already know my last name of course."
"Just call me J, or JK." Jessy replied.
