Jerome when you two are talking, he knew you were still working with Jim but everyone knew he had a soft spot for you
You waited for Jerome to say what he called for. You knew he was going to say something about either his next crime or how you should help him with a crime. Either way, it was something that wasn't going to happen.
"What do you need?"
Jerome took slower steps toward you
"You are my very best friend. And that is why I can't let you stay here, and get hurt. And for this I'm sorry."
Before you could even reach for your gun you were knocked out as Jerome caught you.
"You are my best friend. I can't let my enemies hurt you."
