It's time

As Scott flips open his can of pop, his eyes go wide at Katie's acceptance of his invitation. She'd actually said yes? He hadn't really expected that at all. He was usually given excuses not to do thing with him, so this was new. Not that he minded...

He grins as he watches Katie leave, and calls after her. "Meet me at the theater at seven!"


Reese sighs deeply. "How about meeting at the cafe downtown in half an hour?"

...The cafe had few people in it - a good setting for a private conversation. Reese sips on his glass of coke and plays with his straw wrapper, thinking for several moments before saying what he wants to Lockheart.

Finally looking up at her, his eyes show a weariness in them. "I care about my workers, Lockheart..." He pauses. "I have the most loyal group of people working under me, and when one of them is hurt or in trouble, it's like knowing your kid is in pain."

He looks back down to the table. "And sometimes sacrifices need to be made to help that one person, or save them from an awful fate... Jason's facing a terrible fate, and he's already started on a downward spiral from what I've heard. Our investigative efforts have done nothing. And...there may be only one drastic measure that can shock the system enough to get enough attention to expose the bribery in the courtroom."

Reese thinks hard for several more moments, then glances up to look Lockheart in the eye. "I think it's time TJY was exposed."
