The Rat

       Jessica got back to the hospital as Nick was getting discharged. 

"What are we going to do now?" she asked them.

 "We are going to go back to Chicago. Nick knows someone that can maybe get us the proper papers to get us to dig up the body that was claimed as Terrance Steadman. You need to head back to work. LJ is going to stay at your apartment right?" Veronica asked her sister. 

Jessica sighed. 

"Yeah I'm going to be heading out soon just wanted to make sure everything was OK here first." Jessica stated. 

Nick nodded back at her. 

"Yeah everything is OK. Veronica and I are going to be heading back. I need to talk to my guy as soon as possible." Nick informed her. 

"OK." she said heading for the door. 

"Call me when you find out something. I'll meet you back in the city." she hugged Veronica and left to go get LJ.

       Jessica walked into the small room and seen LJ. He was sitting on the couch watching the TV. On the TV was an interview with Henry Pope about Lincoln's execution. She seen that he was upset so she quickly found the remote and turned the television off.

 "Hey." she greeted sitting down beside him on the couch.

 "Are you OK?" she asked him wrapping her arm around him and pulling him into her side. He shook his head.

 "I lost my mom now I'm going to lose my dad. What am I going to do?" he asked her with tears in his eyes. 

"I don't know." she whispered back to him. She pulled away and stood up. 

"I need you to grab anything that you need. We're going back to Chicago. Veronica and Nick are working on getting an appeal for your dad's case and I need to head into the station." she said to him grabbing a couple of things.

 "OK." he nodded and stood up to head into the back room to grab his things.

      Jessica led LJ into the back door of the apartment building. They walked up the steps instead of taking the elevator. She stopped at her door. 

"Let me check and make sure that Jason isn't hanging around." she told LJ as she unlocked the door and walked inside. Once she discovered that Jason wasn't there she told LJ to come inside.

 "When are you going to break up with that guy?" LJ asked her as he sat across from her at the island counter.

 "Its obvious that you still love my dad and he still loves you too. I never knew what you saw in that guy." he confessed to Jessica. She sighed and handed him a warm cup of tea. 

"This whole situation is hard. I have always loved your father and I have loved you all the same. But we went our different ways and it was hard and I made a mistake and I plan to make up for that mistake." she went to continue when her phone rang. 

She looked at the caller ID and seen that it was Veronica. 

"Hey please tell me you have some good news." she answered into the phone.

 "We have a hearing set for this afternoon. I need you there as a witness." Veronica informed her sister over the phone.

"Alright let me get LJ settled in and I'll be there." she hung up the phone and walked back out into the living room.
