Take Me Back- Jerome ValeskaxReader

Interrogation Part 1

"You know Mr. Cicero, from the show." Jim said, holding the chair. You and Jerome sat down. "Yes, sir." Jerome said, scooting his chair in. "Hello, Mr. Cicero." Jerome said. "Hi, Mr. C." You greeted. "Good evening, Y/N and Jerome." Mr. Cicero replied awkwardly. Jim looked at Lee while he went and sat back down in his seat.

Jim looked at you guys before speaking. "You know why you're here?" He asked, looking at both of you. Jerome leaned forward as if he was worried. "Did you find out who killed my mother?" He asked. "You killed your mother, Jerome." Jim said keeping a straight face. You froze in place while Jerome began to act hurt. "Me?" He asked. Jim looked like he was starting to get angry.

     "You killed her up on that hill and Mr. Cicero let you clean up in his trailer." Jim looked at the blind man. "He told you to scratch the satanist stuff on the hatchet and throw it off the bridge." Jerome's jaw was opened as if he was shocked. "Sir that's absurd and offensive." He said, starting to get frustrated. "But it's the truth," Jim pushed on. Jim looked at the fortune teller again. "What i don't know is why this man risked so much to help you. I think he's your father." He confessed. You gasped in shock. Your jaw dropped and you turned to Jerome. Could he have known? By the look on his face, you could tell the answer was no.

     Jerome chuckled, looking at Mr. Cicero. You don't know what your talking about. My father was a sea captain." Jerome argued. You watched Jim and Lee exchange glances. "Am I wrong, Mr. Cicero?" Jim asked. "Yes." Mr. Cicero rasped out. "He was a sea captain and his name was Sven Carlson. He died at sea." He continued to argue. You put your hand on Jerome's arm trying to comfort him. You saw him relax a little at the touch.

     "What was the name of his ship?" Jim asked. "He worked on a lot of different ships." Jerome said. You frowned a little, knowing this was going to go downhill soon. Jim shook his head. "The one he went down in." Jerome's eyes widened in realization. "She never said." He looked at you, grabbing your hand. "She never said." You squeezed his hand. "I know, J. It's ok." You comforted him.

     "We can do a blood test to prove I'm right." Jim said. "Takes only half an hour to get a full proof result. Isn't that right, Dr. Thompkins?" He turned to Lee. "Yes." She nodded, looking at you two. "Save yourself a needle." Jim said. "I do hate needles." Me. Cicero said, causing you both to look at him in shock. "I'm sorry, Jerome." "What are you talking about?" Jerome asked. "He's right. I am your father." He confessed. Yours and Jerome's eyes both widened in shock.
