Chapter 4
Soon the three of them were back at the Bureau waiting in Pollock's office as instructed. They barely said a word to each other, for they didn't exactly know what to say after what they had just experienced. Finally Pollock walked in to his office, where they were all waiting, and practically slammed the door shut behind him. The agents could tell that he wasn't too happy. He sat down in his chair staring at them and waiting. Antonio decided to break the silence.
"So far we know that Emily is indeed dead. Apparently she was pushed off the balcony and hit her head. We have signs of cranial damage and excessive bleeding to the point of death. The rest of her body wasn't in good condition either."
"When was this?" Pollock questioned. Nobody wanted to mess with him at this point; you could tell he didn't have patience.
"Well, from what we got at the hotel she was taken from right in front of her room between 1 and 3 a.m. but she wasn't killed until about two hours before we got there. We found bruises all over her body so we can assume that the kidnapper abused her repeatedly before he pushed her off the balcony." Antonio finished.
"Never assume Agent Cortez," Pollock looked at Antonio and then moved on to Nicole and Jess, "and where were you two at the time?"
Nicole stepped up to answer "We were interviewing the friend, who reported Emily missing, sir."
"And what did you get from her?" Pollock asked still trying to stay calm.
"Nothing but a statement, but in the room we found a note Emily received, it seemed threatening, and then Jess had a vision." Nicole responded
"Ah, now those are they key words, 'Jess had a vision'" Pollock continued "Mastriani, share with us what we got out of this extrasensory message."
Jess could tell that Pollock was very bothered at the moment and with any wrong move he could lose his temper. She decided to respond to Pollock in the most cautious manner, "Well sir, Emily was in my vision and she said that she didn't want do go with 'him' and she didn't know 'where' the house is, probably referring to the warehouse in which we found her. And there was blood"
"Great, perfect in fact," at that very moment each and every one of them knew that Pollock had just snapped. "This team," he continued, "has been considered one of the best by many." He paused, "with an excellent solve rate, and a psychic, A PSYCHIC, on our team—"
"—but sir," Nicole cut in, not to be rude but to defend her best friend, Jess.
"I do not, like to be interrupted, Agent Scott," and he kept going "It was our responsibility, our job to find this young woman, and we have six, not five, six senses on our side and still this young woman is dead," everyone had thought Pollock was finished but he kept coming down hard on Jess. "Mastriani, you're here because of your visions, that is it, and what use are they, if you and Agent Scott over there are ignoring them and playing tea party with the missing woman's best friend!" Everyone knew that Pollock had gone too far.
Jess couldn't stand it. Over the past couple of years she had been extremely strong in one situation after another, but that was too much. She had gained such a respect for Pollock and what he had just said emotionally damaged her. Although it may have not been "the right thing to do", Jess stormed out of the office despite the consequences, even if one of those consequences was her dismissal from the Bureau.
