Till We Meet Again

Ch.18

"Knock them dead."

A few weeks passed by and that was the only line that kept on repeating when she and Leon were walking to the interrogation room. Robin balled up her fists as she tried not to break down from the answer Jemma said. Robin looked up at Leon whose eyes kept straight and serious. Robin looked down, scared and fixed her sleeve. They stopped at the door and gave the file to Robin, she quietly took it and entered.

There she found Jemma sitting down with handcuffs in her wrists while her head was facing down on the table. Robin tried keeping a straight face and sat down in front of her.

"Jackie Lynn, the girl who killed my parents."

Jemma widened her eyes. "It's not true!"

"Then what did I see?! Stop lying. YOU killed my parents."

"Robin, I can explain-"

"EXPLAIN WHEN YOU'RE ABLE TO REVIVE MY PARENTS."

"Robin! Listen to me!"

"Did you kill my parents JUST because you're an orphan? Is it because you're jealous of my life? That MY LIFE is BETTER THAN YOURS!"

"ROBIN, THEY TRIED TO SELL YOU."

There was a moment of silence. Robin broke it by shaking her head and showed that face of 'I'm fed up with you'.

"Really? That's the best lie you can think of?"

"No really! I heard them talking about selling your body to this... rich dude!"

"My parents don't do that. No parents do that to their child."

"They do when they don't care about their child and care about finance more!"

Robin sighed in disappointment, "Give it up, Ja- Jemma. Your lies are too obvious. Anyway, I have a few questions for you and you must cooperate with me otherwise I have no choice but to take drastic measures. Who is your boss?"

Jemma sighed in annoyance, "Why aren't you LISTENING to me?!"

"I don't listen to liars. Now answer my question."

"I'm telling the truth damn it! Why can't you be the person that I like?!"

"Nice try, Steele... but it's going to take more than that to get me off guard..." She said in disbelief.

Jemma had enough. She couldn't handle anymore. She stood up and gripped her arms. Robin grunted, grabbed her arm and twisted it, threatening her.

"What the hell, Jemma. Just damn cooperate and answer the questions!"

Robin was lucky that there wasn't any microphone in the room, just a small CCTV camera at the corner and a huge one way mirror. Leon was at the other side, spectating their conversation. However from what he saw, he had no choice but to pull Robin out and let him handle things.

Seriously Robin? You're better than this. What made such an icy heart turn soft?

Leon opened the door and saw Jemma looking at him with wide eyes.

"Miss Wood, you can take 5. I can handle this."

Robin wanted to protest but he has more power than her so she fixed her sleeve once more and left the room.

A few minutes later, Robin couldn't handle the scene in front of her. Even though the room is sound proof, she could tell that Jemma was screaming.

An hour later, Leon went out with a slightly bloody towel, "I managed to make her cooperate. Now I got some info squeezed out of her."
