Trouble at the Jail
Jake wasn't in jail a full 48 hours before he was placed in solitary confinement. He had assaulted two guards when they tried to extract him from his cell. One of the guards had to be taken to the hospital. Nobody was surprised by this. Since he had been booked into the jail he had been ignoring direct orders from correction officers and he was demanding that he be able to see Calleigh. This wasn't permitted for obvious reasons. Even if Calleigh had decided she wanted or needed to confront Jake before trial, she couldn't.
Eric had sensed that Jake Berkley had a violent temper about him from the day the two detectives met. He saw that Det. Berkley was skilled at hiding that temper when it was to his advantage to do so, like when he were around Calleigh.
Eric stayed in the lab the day Jake was transported back to Miami; he thought if he was "let out" and happened to cross paths with Jake Berkley he wouldn't be going to the two people he loved, Chloe and Calleigh. Despite the reason she were off work Eric could see that his girlfriend was very much enjoying the extra time with their child. Right now just being "mommy" seemed to be therapeutic for her.
Word about Jake got back to Eric at the lab through Ryan.
"Ol' Berkley isn't taking being on the other side too well," he told Eric as he walked into the trace lab.
Eric snorted. "Really?"
Naturally Eric didn't feel any sympathy for Berkley.
"Yeah. They already got 'em in solitary. He attacked two c.o.'s. One's still at the hospital but he's okay."
"That's not going to endear him with the judge," Eric replied.
Note: "c.o." is slang for corrections officer.
Up next, Chloe's third birthday!
