Another request

Carson almost scoffs at Nate’s comment of peace, but withholds it, just waiting for Jason to return.

Jason leads Misty to the interrogation room and opens the door for her, letting her in first, then entering himself. He remains standing and crosses his arms, scowling at Carson. “Alright. You’ve got what you want. Now it’s our turn.”

Carson looks up, giving Misty a once over, not allowing his eyes to reveal anything of his intentions. He fixes his focus back to Jason and Nate. “Not quite. “Misty can stay and ask me all the questions she wants, but you’re not getting answers from me while you two are still in the room.”

Jason’s eyes widen. This was unbelievable. “Carson, you really take the cake, you know that? Why on earth would you even think we’d leave this woman alone with you in here?”

Carson takes the last puff of his smoke and puts it out in the ash tray, taking his time. “There’s no camera in here…no microphones…you walk away, you know nothing what goes on in here. But you want answers…how badly do you want them? What are you willing to do?”

The challenge in his voice ticks Jason off. “No,” he states flatly. “Reese would never approve, and neither do I. This is ridiculous and you know it.”

Carson shrugs. “Suit yourself.” He leans back in his chair and crosses his arms casually. “So are you taking me back to my cell now or later?”

“You said you’d help us out!” Jason raises his voice.

“Give the man a round of applause,” Carson mocks. “He can quote the man he tried to kill.”

“Look.” Jason takes a step forward, glaring down at Carson. “I have no problem with sticking you back in that cell. Just remember that if we don’t get what we want, you’re getting turned into the law. Got that?”

“Oh, I had that a long time ago.” Carson shrugs again. “Really doesn’t matter to me. Though I’d hate to be sitting behind bars knowing that you never got what you really wanted. What a pity.”

Jason grits his teeth and rests his hands on his hips. He swivels his stare to Nate. “You’re not leaving Misty alone in here. This guy’s a lunatic.”
