Michael was flipping through pages and pages on Jesse. His eyes landing on medical information and payments. Lists of college payments and payments to a house that isn't in his name. He looks at the medical information and found that he had incidents in the pass of exhaustion along with injuries found after a regular check up. Yet there was nothing further since it is patient confidentiality. Michael thought about it till he knew he had to do something since he was already in deep enough. There was something really odd about this since he didn't seem hurt, but scared. Michael looked out his half opened door.

"Eliza, I need you to send me the address of where Jesse Alexander lives and the address to house payments he keeps paying. I will be going out to investigate and on the dot you can leave. " Michael stood up to his feet and took a over coat off his chair to slip it on.

He grabbed the files and papers on Jesse before putting them into a briefcase. His phone notified that he had the addresses. Which made his next actions quick and efficient. He was to see Jesse first and apologize. Then he was to see the person owning the house. He had some ideas about the way Jesse acts and how he keeps paying payments that aren't even his. He just wanted to make sure if they weren't true.

He was already on his way to the first address. It seemed to be on a campus of a college. It was exactly how Michael expected it. It was a very small university, but there was dorms on the campus. He followed his phone as it spoke orders on where to go. Michael ended up parking in front of the third building for dorms. He got out and went through the doors to only see stairs and two hallways pointing in the directions of East and west. He checked the address again and saw he was on the third floor in dorm 77. Michael made his way up to the third floor to see it was a complete mess. He took a picture before avoiding the spills, garbage, throwup, and clothing. He eventually was at the door and gave three knocks. He could hear panick and shuffling around before someone whispered and opened the door.

"Hello? " Grey eyes poked through the crack of the door as it didn't fully open. There was a hint of dirty blonde hair. "May I help a cutie like you? "

"I am here to speak with Jesse Alexander. He seem to leave work too early before I can properly apologize to him. "

"Ooooooooooh! You must be the boss that fired him. Well he was online there for an internship, but he was placed into the wrong place and hasn't learned anything besides how to sign papers. Either way, he isn't here. He is somewhere else and busy. " In the attempt to make Michael leave he tried to close the door, but Michael put his foot in the door.

"Mind telling me where he is?" he put on a smirk.

" Well he is busy and I will just let him know-"

"Do I smell alcohol or is that weed? Also the conditions of this hallway seems to be a little out of school policy. "

"He is with his boyfriend at the moment. He is at his home, but that is all I am saying. " He kicked the foot away and slammed the door.

Michael took that information and started piecing the picture together. He was paying for his Boyfriend's and his education. Along with expenses here in this filthy college dorm. He wondered if his boyfriend was even going to college.

Michael turned and left the filth behind as he took his phone out and popped the address into his GPS on his phone. He jumped into his car and let the phone do most of the work as he followed directions. His eyes grazed over the passing buildings and potential houses. It didn't take long for him to finally find the house. He parked on the opposite side of the street. His eyes glaring at the structure before him. He got out and head over to the concrete stairs. His feet stop before a step since there seemed to be a outline of red. Must of been a stained from some type of injury. He over step it before continuing to the door. He knocked on the door twice before waiting. He listened carefully.

On the other side of the door there was yelling and even a moment of something hitting something solid. Michael waited not sure if he really heard something worth breaking the door down. It opened enough to show a muscular dark skin male. Not black, but more of a Indian from India. He had golden eyes and golden hair which made him stand out a lot. He was about Michael's height and wanted to intimidate him.

"Who are you? " He seems pissed.

"I am here to see Jesse. I was told I can find him here. "

"He is busy. I will let him know you were here and he can contact you later. "

"I suggest you get him here now. "

"Eh? " He was ready to start a fight now. "What did you say? "

"I said-"

Jesse pulls his boyfriend's arm. "Don't worry Alex. You can go clean up and I will be back in. "

Michael looks at Jesse and notice a bruise forming under his eye and small marks around his neck like he was being choked out. Alex glared at Michael before whispering to Jesse before leaving. Jesse walked out and closed the door as he looks at Michael.

"Why are you here? "

"I came to let you know I will give you back your job if you stop paying this guys house. If you don't live here than you should stop paying. Also you need to find a better place to stay than that junk of a place. " He was referring to the college housing, but he knew he would complain.

"Even if I want my job back, Alex won't stop getting the money from me. If I had the money to myself I would live in a nice place. "

Michael understood because of the bruises all on him now. He was in a abusive relationship and since he wasn't that strong of a person he couldn't escape him. So he needed to get an idea.

"How about you pay one more fee for him and come live with me until you get enough money to afford your own place? So if he tries to come after you for more money I can be there to stop him. Which means you would have to break up with him so then he can't keep using you."

Jesse was scared now. He knew he could trust his boss, but he was scared of Alex coming after him once he broke up with him. Yet he was also scared of Michael. This could all be a game to lead him into another abusive relationship. He had to play his cards right before he ends up getting stuck again.

"I will only agree if you just give me a weekly allowance so then I don't have to go to work and once I finish school I will pay you back by working my new job and give you a monthly payment. Till I have paid you fully. If not then I will just keep living like this and I will find a new job. So think about it. " Jesse turned away and head back into the house.

Michael was surprised by him. He didn't want to agree, but he knew that he could possibly be sued in the future that he didn't help him. So he would have to think about it. Michael turned and left the property.
