Jared was beginning to become more coherent even though there were still gaps in his memory from almost passing out. He was still exhausted, but that would pass eventually.
Natalie and the detective spoke and Natalie informed him of the creatures and Alistair. The man - apparently Atharim - said he would pass the information on. The detective seemed to know or understand more than the other cops, and at the very least agreed to try and help Jay.
Jared didn't believe Jay's admission to being a murderer. There was more to that whole story than met the eye. Jay had his faults, as everyone did, but he wasn't a murderer. His reasoing for admitting had been to protect Nox. They were apparently close.
Natalie asked if he was alright, which he was. He was just tired now. Natalie tried to smile, and Jared appreciated it, but it was hard to keep that amount of optimism up.
"I have no fucking idea,"
Jared said in answer to Natalie's question. It was rare for him to swear, but at this point he was tired enough and frustrated enough not go care. "There's more to this than meets..."
Jared was interrupted by his Wallet ringing - someone was calling. Jared pulled it out and noticed it was Emily. "Excuse me for a minute. I need to take this."
Jared moved away enough to have some privacy, but he would still be within earshot. "Hello,"
Jared answered.
"Heya!"
Emily said, her chipper voice helping to alleviate some stress. "We're going to have to get you a tux for this weekend."
"I'll be in dress uniform most likely,"
Jared responded. "It will probably be required of me.
"Well - you could use a tux anyway, so let's still get you fitted for one."
she paused. "Are you okay? You sound a little off."
Jared let out a breath. "It's been a long day - I'm tired. I could actually use a ride too, if it's not too much. Myself and a couple of friends."
There was concern in his voice. "Okay. Send me your coordinates and I'll be there soon."
"Thanks - and please bring some coffee."
The bid each other farewell, and Jared hung up. Hearing her voice had helped, and he was sure seeing her would help as well.
"Sorry about that. I got us a ride at least. It will be here soon."
