Luke scratched the back of his head.

“Can you tell us where this came from?” asked the attractive girl with the hispanic accent.

“Yeah...but I’m not sure I should. Your Tommy threatened to cave in my head earlier, why on earth would I consider helping him?”

Luke sighed and put his hands on his forehead. Laura stepped forward and looked at him harshly.

“Mr Shields we are trying to prove a man innocent of a crime he did not commit. Whatever happened between you two, you cannot wish an innocent be blamed for something he didn’t do.”

Luke looked up to the ceiling and stretched.

“He won’t will he, I mean you got telepaths. And the whole business at the dance was his bloody doing. Reap what you sow, I’m not risking my neck for some for some violent mobster with anger management problems. Especially when he likes to direct that anger at me and my friend. Give me one reason why I should help and I’ll help, because I am yet to think of a compelling reason why. I have no interested in keeping Mr Noir out of trouble. So shoot, why else would I help?”

Laura looked at Cat and Alex a bit worriedly, it was clear Luke was not happy with Tommy and was quite stubborn about helping him.

Luke sat down at his desk and looked at the group.


“So?” Luke motioned for a reason.
