Melissa McCall had finished bandaging up some of the heavily hurt deputies from whatever it was that had attacked them to steal the body. A part of her couldn't help but not be too upset. She overheard the Sheriff speaking with Clark. Since there was no body, there was no evidence of Kira killing anyone, or her father. Mr. Yukimura would have to be released. Noah had noticed her watching them and they shared a silent but tense moment of just staring at one another. Clark was in between them and quickly became uncomfortable. She was spared it going on for too long when a call came in on the comm and she jumped to answer it.

"Sheriff," she said after a moment, when she was done. "Something's happened."

Noah and Melissa broke their eye contact to look over at her.

'What now?' they simultaneously thought.

Soon enough, a gurney was rolling on through the halls of the hospital with Zach lying on it. Melissa moved over to it was wheeled in.

"What have we got?" she asked them as she helped pull the gurney down the hall.

"A suicide jumper, I think," one of the EMT's said to her. "Went and landed right on top of a car, smashing almost clean through it."

"Alright, let's get him to OR," she told the others.

Over in the lobby, Virgil was being questioned by Deputy Clark.

"Are you saying he jumped from the roof?" the deputy asked him, with a notepad ready.

"Maybe, I'm not sure," he said to her.

"Did you see him actually jump? Or maybe someone pushed him?" she questioned him.

"I don't know," he answered, with a shake of his head.

"Did you hear anything?"

"I don't know," he said again, with another shake of his head.

"Clark." Both of them looked over to see the Sheriff approaching. "It's okay. Let me talk to him."

She nodded and walked off, leaving the two of them alone.

Virgil let out a small breath of air but nodded over to the man. "Sheriff Stilinski," he said in a calm tone.

"Virgil Edelman," he said back, in the same tone. He stared at him for a moment before letting himself give a small smile. "It's been a while. How's my favorite young felon?"

Virgil narrowed his eyes a bit but his lips curved themselves into a bit of a smile. The two of them used to be very familiar with each other. Back when he had first come to Beacon Hills over two years ago. The man had practically been his parole officer, checking in on his progress and making sure he stayed out of trouble during his senior year.

"Great to see you haven't lost that sense of humor of yours Sheriff," he quipped.

Noah let out a little chuckle before he sobered up. "Uh, I don't think I ever had the chance to tell you that I was sorry to hear about your father and grandmother."

The two of them were among the cases Noah had reviewed back when he had his revelations regarding the supernatural. They had been caught in a mild traffic pile-up caused when a 'man-lizard' had run across the interstate.

"Yeah, right," he mumbled to himself, though it was still loud enough for the Sheriff to hear him.

"Uh, hey, I hear you've been working over at Armor Auto. How's that been going?"

"Makes me wonder some days if prison would've been so bad," he said dryly.

The man didn't know if Virgil was serious or just trying to be funny. He then cleared his throat as he felt that it was time to move this along. "So, you mind telling what happened tonight?"
