< we meet again >
Jessica sighed in relief watching the police escort both men into their car in an orderly fashion way
before focusing on the manger who was giving his statement and finally on the few passerbys who were busy gossiping while pointing at Jennifer who sat calmly wrapped gently with a white cloth while giving her statement to another officer
" are you alright? "
she couldn't help asked the moment she approach Jessica ignoring the cop who simply thank Jennifer before moving towards her assistant
" fine just a skin cut"
She replied with an indifferent expression only for Jessica to sob silently mostly when her eyes landed on the bandage wrapped on Jennifer neck
" There's no need to cry am fine and besides I been through worst"
She said while standing her eyes lazily glanced at the old manager whom expression was twisted from rage and shame
" but I don't think it's going well for Paul"
she mummer under her breath gaining Jessica attention who simply sigh
" during the search the police came in contact with some illegal documents relating to the restaurant however the owner had already deny knowing any of those documents
Now such crime has fallen on Paul Though it might not be serious I can assure you it's truly a serious matter
" this place might ended up closing for business for real this time "
She informed Jessica who nodded In pity
" There's nothing we can do we can only pray for a miracle for him "
Jennifer continue shaking her head already knowing what might happen to him
" what about you , were you alright ? "
Jessica asked with a worry tone
" am fine just a bit tired "
" that's good to hear "
Jennifer heard Jessica mummer to herself while tapping her chest in a relief manner
" if only I didn't force you to stay at work extra maybe you wouldn't had gone through such trouble "
Jessica found her self guilting the more she kept silent wanting an add more but was suddenly interrupted
" it wasn't your fault "
Jennifer added from the side her eye's focused completely on the red and blue color of the police vehicle with an odd but numb expression
" you were just in the wrong place at the wrong time so I was there was nothing you could do "
She reassure Jessica calmly who kept blaming herself for the danger her friend had gone through b
" you must be very careful , we still not know how many are still outside trying to harm you "
she pleaded her pupil narrow at Jennifer who nodded
" alright I will you don't have to worry "
Jennifer simply reassure Jessica who sigh in relief
" am going to hire the best lawyers to put them behind bars for a lifetime "
Jessica promised with grind teeth wanting to move forward an officer but held back
" what are you doing am not planning on placing charge's on them
after all though I was attack in the end I wasn't even injured in the first place "
She held Jessica who exclaimed
" are you crazy they almost kill you and you are saying you won't do anything about it ,? "
Jessica asked with a doubtful expression
" yes ! That's what am going to do "
Jennifer replied seriously leaving Jessica baffled the more
" Jennifer did fear affect your brain or something , what if they attack you again ? Then what are we going to do?
You might not be lucky as this time "
Jessica tried talking her out of such thought but discover Jennifer wasn't even listening to her, but soon smile in a relaxed manner
" sister you're just pulling my legs though they might had attack you I doubt if the manager is going to let it slide "
She informed Jennifer who nodded seriously
" it's not of my concern if Mr Paul dragged them under the bus seriously don't care however am a victim which make me way important so am going to ask for compansantion from them instead "
She explained truthfully to Jessica
" you !!! But "
Jessica who heard this felt she saw a different Jennifer
" I know the attackers they will surely do anything to protect their own and that's when they will be bringing money "
