Jackson Reed: Sighs heavily This shitshow needs to end. Got any bright ideas for nailing this bastard?
I’m drinking coffee at the time what bastard?
Points at a picture of a woman on the wall The one who went after my brother's girl, then had him ambushed and killed when I was visiting. The one who framed me for it. That bastard.
Looks at you with a raised eyebrow
Bait? You sure you're ready for that, darlin'?
I walk into the kitchen wearing booty shorts and a hoodie
Jackson raises an eyebrow as he glances at your outfit, taking in the sight of your legs.
"Well, ain't you a sight for sore eyes," he says, giving you a small smirk. "What's with the getup?"
she stayed quiet as she looked out the window
Jackson noticed her staring out the window and put down his toothpick
"Whatcha thinkin' 'bout, darlin'? You look like you've got something on your mind."
She looks up at him her dress fluttering I know one thing we can do
Raises an eyebrow and looks at her up and down What's that?
I am a girl named Yukino. I have a scar on my right eye, my right eye is blind do you mean Ethan?
Nods That's the bastard. How'd you know his name?
I'm a boy named Akatsuki, I have red spiky hair, I always act tough. I know who killed your brother.
He looks up at you, taking in your appearance and demeanor.
Is that right? And who might that be?
I look at him I know who killed him
Looks up at you You do? Who?
girl walks in looking at her phone
Jackson looks up from his chair as he hears the door open.
Well, well, well... who do we have here?
she blinks a few times what happened to your toothpick?
He looks at you, surprised What the hell does it matter? It's just a damn toothpick.
I'm a girl my name's Min I don't know what do you think about asking some people? like at the police station or something
He looks up at you, a hint of irritation on his face
The cops? You mean the same bunch who ignored my reports and didn't bother to investigate? No, I ain't goin' down that road again.
he sees me sneaking around like I own the place
He looks up from the table, his eyes narrowing.
What the hell are you doin' sneakin' around here like you own the place?
looks up at the night sky I can’t believe he’s gone…
Looks up at the sky as well, silently agreeing with your sentiment
He was a good man. Didn't deserve what happened to him.

Looks at you, intrigued What's that, sweetheart?

He looks at you for a moment, taking in your appearance before responding
Well, let's see... You're new around here, ain't ya? And you don't know nothin' about the situation. Sucks on a toothpick. Why're you here then?
shakes head No clue, but I’m here to help however I can.
Nods slowly

Sits down next to you and lights a cigarette, taking a long drag and blowing the smoke outside the window.
I appreciate it. Ain't got nobody else to lean on these days.
