Tears and Rain

Chapter 3 – Feelings Unknown.

Jack finished informing the team of the development. They all looked at each other, feeling shocked and confused.

"It still hasn't brought us any closer to finding Maria." Samantha sat back down at her desk and looked through some files.

"Well if Mike was lying about when he found out about Maria's disappearance then we should interview him again."

Jennifer and Jim walked into the office. Jennifer felt embarrassed, the people standing in front of her had arrested her thinking she was a drug dealer. It would take a lot to convince them that she was just like them.

Jim stepped forward as Jack started to walk towards them.

"What can I do for you Jim?" Jack asked curiously.

"I want to apologize for slowing down your investigation." Jim looked at Jennifer. "Jennifer has agreed that she should pull out so if you need any extra hands."

Jack looked at Jennifer. She smiled reluctantly.

"We have the real security footage from the bar that we need checked" Jack pointed towards Danny, who was sat watching some of the footage. She looked at Jim and headed towards Danny.

"Danny right?" Jennifer sat down beside Danny.

"Yeah…" He looked shocked to see her sitting beside him.

"I'm sorry about the whole tape thing…I was going to bring them to you but…" She turned around and watched as Jim disappeared. "I was in there for nearly two months and we so nearly had him!"

"Had who?" Danny asked.

Jack interrupted their conversation. He took Danny over to the rest of the team. Jennifer sat alone, feeling isolated.

The group walked in separate directions after spending fifteen minutes discussing how to move forward with the investigation. Martin and Vivian began to search through the phone records while Samantha and Jack went to re-interview Mike. Danny returned to help go through the footage with Jennifer.

"Got anything yet?" Danny said sitting down.

"No."

Samantha and Jack walked along the corridor after unsuccessfully interviewing Mike.

"Jack…" Samantha stopped in the middle of the corridor.

"Yeah?" He answered, stopping ahead of her.

"Do you think Mike really loved Maria?"

"No…but I think she loved him."

Samantha walked up to Jack and stood in front of him.

"Do you think that Mike told Maria it was over, and she ran away."

"I think you're jumping to conclusions Sam" He smiled sympathetically " But it's a possibility." He turned around and started walking again.

"It hurts a lot when you lose someone you really love…" Samantha looked at the floor.

Jack stopped and turned around. He looked at Samantha. He knew exactly what she was talking about. He knew how hard it was to let Samantha go when he loved her.

He stared at her, remembering all those nights they had spent together.

"I know…" Jack turned around and started walking, trying to forget all the feelings he had for her.

Samantha watched as Jack disappeared.
