Jamie sat in his car for so long the sky turned from blue to black. He watched the entrance and exit of so many people, seemed tonight was a busy night for them. Knowing he should not waste so much time and the commissioner was already waiting for the report that he had successfully taken power from the corrupt chief of police only made him more interested in peacefully watching the station. He had not been back to the station for so long it was like he had never left. He was not there to see the place he was arrested but instead to see what the people had done in his absence. He had to admit he was still shocked at how the station had been turned into a haven for the corrupt police. He was surprised no one had talked about it before but there was no time for that now.
"Okay Jamie it's now or never." He said to himself pushing the door open, he turned to look at the convoy of cars that sat patiently, waiting that was until he was out of his car.
"I was almost sure we we would have to come get you, what took you so long?"
"I feel like I'm betraying my own people, they've such a family to me for so long it's hard to believe I'm on the other side of this" he replied.
"No worries boss you'll have a new family now."

Falling to her knees Patricia felt incredibly lightheaded and dizzy, she almost couldn't believe that it was her back there, speaking to that old man like that.
"Down from your euphoria already?" George asked from where he stood beside her.
Shooting him glare she answered hurriedly "ofcourse I am, what the hell was I thinking? Why didn't you stop me?" She asked.
"It's correct to feel the way you do but it was also cool the way you stood up to the old man on my behalf" he said with a straight face causing Patricia to smile.
" You were on my side." She replied.
"What?"
"You were by my side this time, it wasn't Patricia against grandfather, it was Patricia and George against grandfather. I couldn't let him hurt someone on my team."
Letting out a curt laugh he stared deeply at her "it's a terrible feeling being on your team, I hate it."
"Welcome to my life then."
"You do know you have to leave the country right?" George stated, "like right at this moment."
"The police are loyal to our family, must I really leave now?"
"No negotiation, it seems you do not realise how big of an issue this is, even if we were god we would still have to answer for this. Leave for now, there are two people the police must not meet, you and Jessie." George stated, "Jessie is the only living witness to both your crimes and the auction house, her testimony at court could end us and you... there is no case without the suspect so leave now." He ordered her.
"And you?" She asked, "what are you going to be doing?"
"Fixing your mess."
Patricia nodded, of course he would say that why was she surprised? just because he was being friendly with her didn't mean they were friends.
"Just make sure you actually go through with Jessie this time." She stated.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" He asked.
"It just means like most mean you get weak in the knees and muddled in the brain when you see her, she is our enemy and I hope your obsession for her is weaker than the love and passion for your precious auction house."
***************************
Sick and tired of feeling so helpless she stood by the side of the road wondering where to go. Watching the cars go by, watching the people go by. She was enraptured by the cacophony of sounds coming from the cars on the road, the mother shouting at her already rebellious toddler, the tick of the traffic light beside her. Even the gentle breeze tossing and pushing at the wind in her skirt seemed to want to drown out the pain she felt. It made it see, so insignificant.
She didn't want to go to Katherine's because she knew she was dealing with a lot at the moment. From her father to Paul, it would be selfish to push her own problems on the innocent woman at this time. Tears bit the insides of her eyes as a heavy feeling settled on her chest as she thought of Tony, it would have been so easy to just go to him. For the first time in a long while she missed her mother, she always felt the emptiness from time to time but today she felt suffocated and alone, she just wanted her mother. But that wasn't possible either... so she had one more option.
"Hey," She smiled at Krystal when she finally made contact with the younger woman.
"How are you holding up? You sounded so sad on the phone." Krystal stated softly as urged Jessie into the living room.
"I'm fine," She began to speak, her voice softer now. "I miss my mother, I miss Tony. I just, I- " her voice broke as she planted her face into her palm and struggled not to cry. Pushing back her hair she looked upwards in an attempt to quell the tears that threatened to fall, sighing heavily. "I'm sorry" she apologised. "I'm sorry to hear that," Krystal interjected in a gentle voice. "I know it's sad but you need to know that you shouldn't be sorry. Sometimes you just have to grieve no matter how hard you try to keep it at bay, there's no way you'd be over Tony so soon so just cry." Krystal hugged Jessie and gave her a half smile, "I know it's difficult." "Thank you," she whispered through tinged lips. The two women were silent for a few moments, both lost in their own thoughts, the origins of which was uncertain. Krystal was the first to break the silence. "I just wish you weren't with that jerk Jason" Krystal said viciously, causing Jessie to start "it's just..." she began to explain seeing the other woman's startled expression. "He's always hurting you. I mean I get that he is also going through a hard time but how could just kick you out so easily after everything you've been through?"
Jessie smiled softly, "I'm so grateful for you in my life Krystal. You always make me the better person in situations like this, even when I can't convince my self that I'm doin the right thing."
"Of course you were doing the right thing" she huffed. "You thought you were protecting him, that's all that matters, that should have been all that mattered."
"It wasn't easy, it's not easy like that. He can't ignore the way he's feeling neither do I want him to, he can't decide for himself what he wants to feel but I wish he wouldn't be so mad.. We need each other more than ever right now."
