Manipulative

Con gives Jamie an encouraging smile, but doesn’t answer her about him going to Texas. He loved the people there, and cared about BJ, but he wasn’t so sure he wanted to go back there yet. He’d been there for TJY…Austin was still there… If he went back, he’d probably be asked to stay, and that wasn’t something he was willing to do right now.

“Maybe,” he finally replies evasively. He gives Jamie another squeeze, then rises from the bed. “What say I go down and start some breakfast? What would you like? Bacon and eggs? Pancakes? Waffles? Or would you prefer me simply getting out the cereal?” He offers a grin. “Or maybe just plain coffee.”


Jason wants to resist Nate’s request. He doesn’t think giving Carson what he wants is a good idea, especially involving Misty. But he can’t argue. When on the same case as Nate, Nate was in charge and Jason had no choice. He hesitates a moment, then does as he’s told, exiting the room and heading for Rick’s.

Carson watches Jason leave, a slight smile on the corner of his mouth, his eyes ever shifting…studying. He takes the water and downs half of it, then goes for a cigarette, lighting up and enjoying it for several minutes, letting Nate’s words be the last until he finally responds. “I’ve been too many times on the other side of the table, mate. Don’t think I don’t know how this goes.” He looks up, purposely catching Nate’s eye. “It’s a two way street. How bad do you want to know what I know?”

Jason wastes no time in going to Ricks, entering the open door. Seeing Misty, he gestures to her. “Nate wants you in the interrogation room… now. Would you mind?”
