“I asked you where Jacqueline is!” Shane kicked the desk so that that it screeched across the floor.

“Ah, what a great answer!” Shane gave a bark of sardonic laughter. “Jackson, I want to know why you did that.”

“Jacqueline contacted me and begged me to save her. She threatened to commit suicide if I didn’t agree to help her. Shane, you know she would’ve had no qualms doing so, considering her extreme personality.” Jackson looked at him beseechingly.
