Chapter 42 by youdontknowme87 youdontknowme87

Follow the Intern or Interrogate Henry?

Follow the Intern of Course!

Author's Notes: Look, I'm not even rolling for this choice. Sometimes you just do what you want to do.

For a split-second Jessica does nothing but stand in the hospital room, almost as stunned as Henry seems to be. That is until she hears GG screaming in her head "GO AFTER HER! She what she knows!"

Leaving Henry alone in the Hospital, Jessica chases after the Intern, calling out to her. "Wait!"

The girl turns around, tears on her face. "What?!"

Looks like the Dice Gods are feeling generous

Taking a deep breath to calm herself down, Jessica approaches the young woman. "I just want to talk."

"What do we possibly have to talk about?"

Success

Although in hindsight, I honestly didn't need to roll TWICE! But two very good successes means that the Intern will tell Jessica what ever she wants.

***

Jessica takes a deep breath to calm her nerves before speaking. "Let's start over, I'm Jessica. Jessica Smith."

Jessica holds out her hand and for a moment the young intern just looks at it awkwardly, eyeing the ring on your finger. After a moment she takes your hand and shacks it awkwardly. "Rebecca Jones."

Greetings out of the way, Jessica takes a seat next to the intern, "So, Rebecca. Mind telling me what that was about?"

Rebecca gives Jessica an annoyed look, "What do you think?" Jessica simply sits there in silence, waiting for Rebecca to continue. "Fine, we were.... sleeping together."

Jessica had expected that answer, but that didn't mean that it didn't sting. "For how long?"

***

Fate Question. Has it been a Long time?

Fate (50/50): 15 https://orokos.com/roll/990105

No. So not very long, I'm going to say only a few weeks.

She HAS to know something else.... Lets asks some more questions.

Does Jessica know about any other affairs?

Fate (Possibly): 91 https://orokos.com/roll/990106

Yes, AND she has details

What about Criminal Activity? Does Jessica know anything about THAT?

Fate (Likely): 37 https://orokos.com/roll/990107

Yes, BUT she doesn't know much.

Ok, this gives us something to go on. She knows a lot of personal office details, probably some details about some hookers/strippers/etc. But knows little about the illegal activities.

***

"Just a few weeks..." she pauses for a few seconds, thinking something over, "But there were, are, others."

"Its ok..." Jessica grabs ahold of her hand and gives it a gentle squeeze. "Take your time..."

In the back of her mind, Jessica hears GG mention "While I'm all for getting dirt on your future ex-husband, we don't have all day. We do need to meet up with Mercury later."

Jessica mentally shushes GG, "Oh hush, GG. This is important." Smiling at the young intern, Jessica encourages her, "But I need to know..."

Author's Notes: Been a while, but Jessica is finally getting dirt on her soon to be ex-husband! I'm thinking after getting Dirt, GG/Jessica need to head over to the docks to meet up with Mercury. What ever happens THERE will happen. Then a few days later they will follow the lead for the Chinese Mafia, and BAMN! We have the end of a story arch!

Later that Evening
