Drift Queen (ON HOLD)

Chapter 26 Uncomfortable questions

Elise pov

I wrap the jacket they gave me harder around myself as the room grows a bit colder. My stomach is grumbling.

I wish Han was here. He always has something to eat.

Gummy bear sounds good right about now....

"Miss Jason?" Amanda Sterling smiles at me from the doorway. "Please follow me."

After a few seconds I nod and follow her. They've got to start explain things soon. That or I'll find things out for myself.

"They say you haven't eaten anything since you came here."

"Considering that I've been gone for who knows how long and the only food I've gotten has been drugged, I think you can see why I don't want anything you offer."

She doesn't say anything about my tone of voice.

She takes me to a room with glass walls and inside there is a desk and two chairs. She motions for me to sit.

"I have a few questions for you, miss Jason." She takes a few files from the desk. "Let's start with, what's your name?"

I give her a look. "You already know my name."

"Humor me."

"Elise Marie Jason."

"Parents name?"

"Angela Jones and Danny Jason."

"You weren't named after your mother? Why?"

I give her a deadly glare. "How the hell am I supposed to know that? Are these questions leading anywhere?"

She puts one file down before going through another. "You're a close friend to Sean Boswell and moved to Japan with him."

Oh no.

Hell no.

"According to records wherever he moved, you moved and it was always after he caused problems in one place. Why such loyalty?"

Third pov

The look Amande got from Elise was unsettling and she understood the notes in the files better. Many cops had asked the same question and none had gotten any answers. It didn't seem like she would either.

"Your father is in the military, yet you play on the line of criminal activities such as illegal racing. What does he say about that?"

Elise laughed. It was a cold, humorless laugh. "What makes you think he would care? The only reason I know he's alive is because I have money in my account from him every month and there hasn't been someone knocking on my door with his dog tags in hand."

Amanda opened her mouth.

"These questions are over. I'm not answering anything else."

Amanda tried to ask plenty of questions but Elise ignored her. She said she wasn't going to answer anything else and she wouldn't and they couldn't make her.

Danny Jason looked at his daughter through the window. She had grown a lot since he last saw her and he felt a surge of pride. Though he had a feeling that the coming conversation would be hell....

Vote and comment, it does wonders for motivation :)
