Antonio and Jessica laughed as they entered the police station.
"You have got to be kidding me." Jessica said. "Paul really said that when you went to arrest him?"
"Yep. I thought he was stupid before, but now I'm convinced that he's psychotic!" Antonio said, causing them to laugh again.
"What kind of idiot would say that to a police officer?" Jessica asked. "I mean, you'd think he-."
She stopped suddenly when she noticed Marcie crying in the corner.
"Marcie!" Jessica yelled as she and Antonio ran to her.
Marcie looked up; revealing her tear streaked face.
Jessica crouched down next to Marcie. "What's wrong? What happened?" Marcie buried her face in her hands and continued to cry.
"Oh honey, what is it?" Jessica asked. "Please tell us."
When she didn't respond, Jessica looked fearfully at Antonio. "Go get my Uncle Bo" she mouthed.
Antonio rushed to Bo's office and knocked rapidly on the door.
"Antonio." Bo said opening the door. Then seeing his expression he walked out of his office. "What happened?"
"It's Marcie."
John came running out of the office, followed by Bo. They rushed over to Marcie who was still sitting on the floor. "What is it? What happened?" John asked. He put his hand on her forehead. "She's not running a fever." He turned to Marcie.
"What happened? Why are you crying?"
Marcie didn't answer.
John opened his cell phone and began to dial "You know what? I think I'm gonna call Michael."
"No!" Marcie yelled. "I-I mean. I'll be right back. I'm gonna wash my face. I-I'm sorry."
When Marcie left the station, Bo and John looked at Jessica and Antonio.
"What happened?" John asked again.
"I-I don't know." Jessica said. "I just happened to see her crying and I got worried. I know she had that scare at the site the other day."
"Well I don't like this. I'm gonna a call Michael." John said, dialing Michael's phone number.
Jessica put her hand on John's wrist to stop him. "John wait. Don't call him. I'll talk to her, okay?"
John looked at her uneasily. "Well okay, but keep us informed. Michael will kill me if something happens to her."
Just then Marcie walked back into the room, her face still red from crying.
John, Antonio, Jessica and Bo immediately surrounded her. "Is everything okay?" Bo asked.
"God! I wish that everyone would stop asking me what's wrong!" Marcie yelled. "I'm
fi-." She sat down in her chair and began to cry again.
"I've got this." John said.
Everyone nodded and went back to work. Jessica followed Antonio into Bo's office, glancing nervously at Marcie.
"I wonder what in the world has her so upset." Jessica said.
"Come on." Antonio said, ushering Jessica into Bo's office.
Seeing that they were alone, John pulled up a chair and sat down. "What happened, Marcie?" he asked, touching her shoulder.
When she sniffled, he put his arm around her, prompting her to lean into him and cry on his chest.
Finally she raised her head. "I-I'm sorry John. God, I'm so pathetic."
John pulled her away from him. "Look at me. You are not pathetic. Do you understand? Don't ever say that. Michael loves you and thinks the world of you, so don't ever think that you're a bad person."
She leaned against him again and sniffled. "It'll be okay..." John said as he rubbed her shoulder.
But suddenly he wasn't so sure...
