"What the heck were you thinking?" Officer Andrews voice was heard throughout the little conference room where Officer Patrick, SO Blake and Cumberbatch stood.

"Did you really think that it was a good thing to try and punch those gang-members down?" He asked as Grace didn't respond.

"Seriously Grace, you're not supposed to do that."

"So what, I'm not supposed to use self-defence in order to protect myself?" Grace asked clearly not surprised.

"You weren't supposed to fight them in the first place. You should've called us."

"Oh really? How long would that have taken if I called you? Would that be enough time for me to not fend myself." Grace clearly stated making her point.

"Besides, you, Woods. I thought you would've done something better." Andrews looked at Jack.

"They were going to attack us with weapons. We didn't use weapons. We only knocked them out."

"We didn't kill them." Jack breathed slowly.

"The boy's right. They didn't have any weapons but they still managed to over-power them."

"Yeah, but they're hurt." Patrick stated.

"I can see that. But what they did was simply defending themselves. You tell me, Andrews wouldn't you have done the same?" Andrews licked his lips keeping his mouth shut.

"I have someone you should meet first." SO Blake finally started talking.

The door opened to reveal familiar sunshine light brownish hair and calm warm eyes.

"Grace meet Griffin."

"Griffin meet Grace."

Grace and Griffin stared at each other figuring why one or the other were here and for what reason?

"Griffin is here because he's just like you, Grace. He's helping to find out who The Attacker is." Grace licked her lips as she swallowed.

"Griffin, Grace is here because she was leading this investigation. I see that both of you are very intelligent human beings and that I thought why not combine these powers together. That's why you're both working with one another."

"This is Jack Woods." Griffin looked at Jack as they both shared a long stare, one filled with confusion and curiosity.

"I'll leave you three alone."
SO Blake, Patrick, Andrews and Cumberbatch left.

As soon as the door closed the questions began to strike up.

"Is that why you were at the park?" Grace and Griffin simultaneously spoke.

"Wait, you were at the park too " Jack asked as he looked confused.

"I stopped Grace from chasing after the wrong guy. A phoney let's say." Griffin stated calmly.

"Why?"

"Well, where do I begin?" Griffin asked as both eyes fell upon him.

"When Grace and I bumped into each other that day, you were taken to the station and so was I. From then I recall hearing Patrick and SO Blake telling me something about my motorcycle habits. I'm assuming the same to you."

"They told me you were let off with a warning."

"That is true, but they told me in order to redeem myself, I'd have to help in search of this attacker. I wasn't going to agree very quickly, but when they showed me these cases. Something inside of me clicked." Jack and Grace stared at Griffin with an intense gaze.
