"What the hell are you still doing?! I heard you received a statement from a witness why the hell are you taking so much time?" The commissioner of police yelled.
Jamie Anderson bent his head and stares at his feet the whole time. "Sorry for the delay, but I strongly believe there's a lot more to this case than we have."
"So are you saying your superiors are wrong? Are you saying I'm wrong?! Look out there, see all those people protesting against the police. Does it look like there is time for a hunch?" He said.
"But sir, we can't just base the entire case on one person testimony." He pleaded.
"It's not as if the witness didn't come with solid evidence." The commissioner stated.
"It's just too unbelievable sir. For one I even believe that Patricia Lee is involved in this case somehow" Jamie said.
"Mind your tongue boy, it may seem that way but don't go barking up the wrong tree, it's going to be detrimental for you. The Lee's are not a family you can come against." The commissioner warned.
"That's why I want a longer investigation sir, we as the police can bring any corrupt or guilty party down." Jamie argued.
"You don't have evidence, all our evidence points to Jessie Marin as the murderer and states that she killed her self. I know it's all too convenient but remember even if she is innocent she's still dead so don't let it weigh on your conscience Hmmm. Now close this case and leave it be, it causing to much stress for everyone."
Jamie wanted to say more but bit his tongue. There was nothing more he could do right now, but he wasn't going to give up. Something was definitely fishy and he was not going to rest until he found it. But as of right now he would close the case, because her fans where getting crazy all over the police station and the media wouldn't stop bugging them.
"Yes sir, I'll take my leave now salute!" He said walking out of the office.

Jessie struggled to open her eyes, she felt so weak and her limbs felt extremely heavy. She could her voices but they seemed far away. She blinked to adjust to the bright light that seemed to penetrate her eye balls, she took in her surroundings. Two men were discussing with another woman by the door and the room looked completely white. 'Hospital?' she thought. 'But a hospital should have other things right?' this one just seemed empty. Apart from the people discussing and her bed she couldn't see anything.
"Hmm... she's awake." The woman said looking at her.
"Jess?" Jason walked over to her bed, intact they all walked over to her.
"How do you feel?" The woman asked.
"Tired and weak. Where am I?" she asked her voice dry and coarse.
"My name is Katherine Park, you're in Song central hospital."
Paul handed her a glass of water as Jason pressed the button for he bed to come up. After drinking a few sips she looked at them.
"What happened?"
"Well Jessie you collapsed, in my house? Can't you remember?" Jason said.
She looked at her laps and tried to recall.
"It was pretty dramatic and quite scary, you truly are an actress" Paul laughed.
"I wasn't acting." Jessie said curtly.
Paul opened his mouth to speak but Katherine elbowed him and shut him up. "Of course you weren't, you are pretty sick." She said. "You have a stomach ulcer and being on your period didn't help at all."
Jessie groaned, why was her period such a big deal, ugh!
"Plus" Katherine continued "you haven't been eating well so that contributed as well."
"I'm I going to be okay?" She asked.
"Yeah, you just need a lot of rest and food. Stay away from stress it increases stomach acid and you can't have that right now." Katherine adviced.
"They'll discharge you tonight, Katherine will be visiting the house while you recover." Paul said
Jessie looked at Jason, wondering why he was so quiet. "Can I still leave your house?"
"No." He said curtly.

Jessie frowned, Paul raised his brow in question and Katherine stared daggers at him.
"Jason!" Jessie fumed.
"Jason, I swear if you don't let our nations goddess go I will-"
"You will what? What will you do Katherine?" he interrupted. "Don't even try cross your boundaries" He warned.
He raised a hand to stop Paul from speaking, he looked back at Jessie.
"Your going to stay with me until your fine, not a minute earlier. Understand?" He growled.
"Are you getting angry at me right now?" She huffed.
Jason sighed "this is non-negotiable, okay?" Je said.
Jessie shook her head and rolled her eyes looking away from him she laid down.
***************************************************
Lenora practically sprinted into the news room with the papers. They had a very juicy exclusive, she knew she shouldn't have stolen the information off Jamie laptop. But she couldn't resist the reporter in her. This was definitely going to get her a promotion for sure.
"Here is the final draft for the news this even Cap." She said.
"Ah... we are definitely going to win the ten o'clock spot with this" He smiled. "Tell the news reporter to meet me in the room in five minutes I can't believe this."
She nodded and left.
Walking to call her superior she also went to gather the interview that she did of Actress and heiress Patricia Lee. She saw on Jamie's laptop she was the only witness to the murder. And though as much as she would have loved to believe she couldn't wrap her mind around it. Why would the national goddess kill her driver? Why would she ruin her career like that. Was he perhaps blackmailing her? But about what? Any way it was already too late now, the story was written and edited in a few hours the country would receive the biggest shock, the beloved icon and role model not only dead but also accused of murder.
As she reviewed the interview she wondered of she was doing the right thing, or if she and the media were just being lead by the evidence. Perhaps she should still investigate? She would lose this job if she said anything now. And Jamie would definitely break up with her after the news today.
'I'm I really going to be the bad person?' she thought. 'I'm I going to be the person that uses others for my selfish interests?'
She shook her head, she can't think that way right now. It was already too late, it's going to happen and she is going to face the consequences right?
She spun on her heels and walked back into the meeting room, everyone was gathered as they discussed the news for this evening.
"Ah look at our star reporter!" The director praised her, they all began to clap.
Lenora wished they wouldn't, her resolve to do the right thing was weakening by the moment.
'Can she really do this to Jamie?' she thought. Clearing her throat she spoke.
"I don't think we should broadcast this today."
"Why?" one of the reporters asked.
"Doesn't it seem strange? I mean not of it makes sense, we do not have a reason behind why she killed her driver and why she killed herself." she said.
"I do agree with you, but if do not act fast with this other news stations are eventually going to get the scoop and what then?" her captain said.
"I understand the situation, but imagine we were wrong? This isn't just any story, think about what her fans are going to do to us if it isn't the truth?" Lenora said.
"What do you then propose?" The director asked.
"One more day, give me one more day to confirm then we can broadcast." She said.
"Do we have something else to take the breaking news?" The director asked the remaining reporters.
"Oh there is the story on another teenager that has attempted suicide, it's that third case this month." One reporter said eagerly.
"Alright let's do that, Lenora one day." The director said.
She nodded and walked out, she had 24 hours to get this right, she hoped Jamie would forgive her for this.
