Jubal becomes a bit protective with her, remaining by her side during her speeches to journalists in case of. Isobel who wanted to investigate about this young girl, hadn't been able because the director had fallen on her back, demanding a lot of results and details in the reports. But she didn't forget her.
" Agent Castille, what I'm saying is boring ?" the Adic ask.
" No sorry."
Isobel try to focus on the meeting, she didn't want someone anymore on her back, and want the director to take the pressure off of her back a bit. She went to the roof after, needing some fresh air. She heard nose behind her back, but there is only one person who know that she comes here.
"Hey, I was sure to find you here. How was the meeting ?" Jubal ask her holding her a cup of coffee.
" Boring, thanks. Needs something ?"
"No just a pause and I was thinking keep you company, if it's okay with you."
"Of course it is" Isobel smile shyly.
They stood there staring at the city in front of them, each lost in thought. Jubal glanced at Isobel, and found her pale, and the impression of seeing a small film of sweat on her forehead. Gently, he put his hand on her forehead.
" Jesus, Isobel are hot ! You definitely have a fever !"
"It's okay, I'm going to take something for it. I have files to do, and our current case..."
" No, no you are going home. You don't seems well, I heard you cough several times since this morning. We are going to do something okay, like a deal. You did a covid-test, if it's negative I agree that you continue to work but easily and if it's positive you go home and rest."
" Okay fine ! But You do it! I don't want to do it alone"
Once in her office, Jubal closes the door and the windows, Isobel sat on her chair and try to relax as Jubal do the test. She coughs and believes that she was going to threw up.
" I went to far ? I'm sorry..."
"No it's okay, it did that all the time I have to do one." Isobel reassured him.
They exchange a smile while they wait for the result, but in precaution Isobel wear a mask. If it's positive she didn't want to infect the others.
" Okay, time to see... Positive... I'm sorry. Do... Do you know where you can have it ? "
"I thinking during one of the meetings... because I have nothing when I was in the hospital... and I see no one after work. It's just work, sleep, work... No free time yet..."
"Okay, you go home, I will tell the director that you have the Covid, and take care of the JOC. I will go by your place after work with groceries for you and medication."
" Jubal you don't have to... You will end up infect."
"I will wear a mask, and I will not let you down with it. We will open the windows if you need me to come inside... Go home Izzy, go sleep, relax."
