Another Jessica.. and mindreaders?! (joke title)

Jessica Scholar is a detective/interrogator in Aquajacent, a quaint little town. 20% of the population of the world are mindreaders. Most mindreaders end up with helpful professions, such as police officer, firefighter, doctor, the like. A few, however, do not purse such careers, and instead live normal lives.

There's only one catch, 8 out of 10 mindreaders have the survival instinct to lie.

Jessica is what's often referred to as a last resort. Her coworkers joke about her role and why she has it. The truth is that she took psychology as a major in college and can break through to most everyone and is often used when the other interrogators and detectives, most of which are mindreaders, cannot find out if a person committed a crime or their motive. SHe's used as a last resort because if she can't break through to someone, there's a high chance no one else could. Her coworkers joke that she's so annoying that whoever she's interrogating will relent just to get away from her.

Jessica Scholar was interrogating a 23 year old mindreader named Troy Suitor, who was suspected of murdering his sister's girlfriend. He'd been through all the other interrogators, and they couldn't break through to him, so here she was. But Jessica couldn't break through to him either. He twirled circles around her questions, leading her to believe she'd been answered until she thought about his responses enough to realize he had told her nothing of importance. The day after she interrogated him, however, the police had found the real killer.

That same day, Jessica had been tasked with investigating the disappearance of a young man named Kanae Simmons. Her search led her to Luna's Coffee, where she met Troy again. He seemed to be looking for someone too. Seemed like a lot of people chose to go to Luna's Coffee before going missing... or was something else going on here?
