"No problem," Jaxson nodded then turned to leave, but stopped when he saw Vanessa. "What brings you down here?" He asked her.
"Good to see you too," Vanessa frowned at him, then stepped aside to let him out. "How is she?" She asked, pulling him away from the door.
"Fine, I think. She took the tablets you instructed me to give, and she ate everything you had sent in," he explained.
"Good, good."
"Is that all?"
"Is that all what?" Vanessa snapped.
"Geez, Nessie. Is that the only reason you came down here, to interview me?" Jaxson demanded. The attitude she brought down with her was beginning to get under his skin.
Vanessa shot him a glare, though she immediately regretted it. Remembering her resolve to be calm, she looked him in the eye and said as calmly as possible, "First of all, don't call me that. Second of all, I came down to make sure Artemis is alive and well. And to say that, I have an appointment at the same time as the interrogation—"
Jaxson put up a hand to interrupt her. "Okay, so you want me to make sure all goes well, and—" he stuck a finger out to shush her as she opened her mouth "—that I stay out of trouble. Only say as much as is required."
Vanessa nodded. "There's a good boy. I'll see you both this evening," she said with a wave and a smile as she turned to leave.
Artemis lay curled up on her cot, eyes contemplative as she thought overy yesterday's events, and anticipating this days events that were yet to come.
