Jim held up the notes, so you could read them as well. The first one was short and simple.

'Today is the day  i will face my demise,

So just listen close, and look with your eyes.

I will be there to help guide you through,

As long as you listen to all of my clues.'

You caught jim smile out of the corner of your eye, he seemed pleased with the note despite the very inappropriate timing.

"... written in poetry~ she knows how to get my attention." Jim hummed, you smacked his arm lightly but you couldn't stop a tiny smile from appearing on your lips as well- jim was adorable, you couldn't help it.

"Okay... so it sounds like she's going to keep giving us clues from here on.. let's just hope she knows what she's talking about." You say quietly, jim nodding beside you as he held up the second note beside the first. You scanned through it, your eyebrows drawing together.

'As I said before, this is not nearly done,

For he will not stop until he has won.

His goal is to burn you as slow as he can,

So please keep listening for the rest of his plan.

For his next move he will go for my boy,

Alex, I believe, he wants to destroy'

You and Jim exchanged a look. You both knew that the information wasn't new, Harvey always disliked Alex and tried to use him for his powers. Now that that failed, it was no doubt he wanted the kid dead... but it sounded like although she knew who harvey was going for next, she didn't know his plan exactly. She THINKS he might want to kill Alex... although you didn't know if that was possible. Evidently it would take some time on Harvey's part to even figure out if Alex even could die, and the only way to know was to do-.... tests....

... in other words, he would end up torturing the boy...

"Oh my god, jim...." you whispered, your eyes widening. He nodded calmly, already having sent a text to William. You read the message on his screen, admiring how calm he could come across even through texting.

'Hello willy boy~ are you getting lots of work done~? Make sure to keep an eye on Marcus, we still don't know if we can trust him. Is Alex with him?'

You breathed out, knowing it was the perfect text. Jim was making it seem like he just needed someone keeping an eye on Marcus at all times, however he was also indirectly asking where Alex was. After sending the text, jim folded the notes and put them in his suit jacket pocket.

"He likely won't respond, he's still upset with me. We better head back." Jim hummed, keeping himself calm and composed. You nodded in agreement, both of you heading out of the building. Jim didn't seem too worried that Harvey would come back here, and you trusted that he took the possibility into consideration. And of course, as expected, you left the building as undisturbed as you had arrived. Leaving William and Alex's mom there for the police to find. You felt incredibly bad, knowing what you did... but for now you had to trust that William's mom knew what she was doing..
