She looked at the male that had gotten out of the police car and saw his nod but she kept the same expression on her face. Her eyes scanned the male momentarily as he approached the front of her steps. Her ears twitched at the words of this male as she raised a brow. "You look like a rookie cop, first of all." She unfolded her arms from over her chest then walked down the steps, standing on the last one as she locked her eyes with his. "Why do you want to help me anyway? And please don't say it's your job because that is so cliche." She said while folding her arms back over her chest as she started to feel the stares coming from the neighbors.

"Let's go inside and talk, please." Jessie shuddered at the soft breeze that blow over them as she waited until the officer was inside before closing the door behind them both. "Oh and please, call me Jessie." She stated while walking past him and into the living area, where she waved a hand for him to sit. Jessie then proceeded to go into the kitchen and put on a kettle of water. She then set out two cups, along with sugar cubes and sat the tea bags into the cups, letting the string dangle over the cup. Her boots trampled her floor as she made it back to the living area, sitting down with a sigh.

"They dragged her. Through here actually." She started to tear up but sniffled them away. Her eyes fluttered over there towards the male as she raised another brow. "Do you know what it is like seeing someone you love being dragged out of your house? Not knowing whether they're dead or alive? I hate myself for not doing anything but then again..." She stopped talking to shrug her shoulders then looked towards the officer again. "What could I do?"

Soon, the kettle started whistling and she got up from her seated position and walked into the kitchen, pouring the now hot water into the cups, adding at least three sugar cubes to each cup. She also put some Ritz crackers and cheese on a small plate then waltzed back into the living area, placing the tray in a reachable distance for the officer. "Oh, what is your name? I read your name tag but it says Officer Sullivan. What is your first name?" She asked while popping a cracker into her mouth, eying the officer to see if he was going to tell her or not.
