The Defenders II

Chapter 9: Disagreements

—Police Station—

Jessica and Foggy entered the evidence room to find Misty. To her surprise, Misty was walking around and worried. She was never worried since she was calm. Jessica and Foggy approached her which startled her a little.

"Misty, what's going on?" Jessica asked, but she bit her lips, "Oh shit. Today's the day. Are they here?"

"Who's here? Why am I worried here as well?" Foggy jumped in.

"The Avengers are here. Lucky for you it's only Scott Lang and Hope van Dyne. Bad news is that they brought their suits," Misty sighed, "And they have Luke and Robbie in the interrogation room. They're waiting for you."

"I can go with you."

"No. Go outside. I have a plan and it doesn't involve you." Jessica ordered.

"Alright. I'll go home to Marci but you text me what happens."

"Good." Jessica turned to Misty, "Let's go see what happens."

Jessica followed Misty towards the investigation room. They looked in the window to see Hope and Scott in normal outfits. Scott was wearing a sweater while Hope was in a business suit that she normally wears.

"I thought you said they were in their suits?" Jessica asked.

"They were on their way here in their uniforms. It must be inside the briefcase."

"Look. If anything goes wrong inside, you know what to do." Jessica smirked before walking away inside the interrogation room.

Hope was the first one to greet her when she entered the room. Scott wasn't paying attention after staring at Robbie for a long time. Luke and Robbie weren't feeling good, she could tell by their facial expression. Luke wasn't happy and if he wasn't happy, Robbie wasn't also. She took a seat beside Luke and looked at the both of them.

"What do you want, van Dyne?" Jessica asked casually.

"The week is over and Murdock isn't here. This case is now ours and we would like to inform you in a professional manner." Hope smiled.

"You can't. I already have a lead on him. Last night Rand caught him in the middle of the train station."

"And you saw that in the news. To our knowledge, they are both missing."

"Just give it up, Jess. Let them handle the case." Luke whispered.

"May I have a word with Mr. Cage for a second." Jessica excused herself as Luke followed her outside. They closed the door so they couldn't hear their conversation, "What the hell are you doing?"

"The real question is what are you doing, Jones? The case is closed. Danny is missing. Colleen hasn't been well since. Robbie and I are tired of chasing him around only to get caught in a trap and them escaping. And then their's you-"

"At least I'm the only one who cares for the bastard. Luke, we need to find him."

"That's your problem! You care too much!"

Jessica slapped Luke in the face which made a lot of sound. Luke looked at her in disagreement.

"Why the hell did you slap me?"
