A few seconds later, Jaden stepped out from the bathroom.

"Yo." he greeted her.

"What's up?" he asked, making his way over.

"You look like something's on your mind."

"Bye for now!" Hal called to her before she left.

He then sighed, and shook his head, looking back to his work.

"...Marcus..." he mumbled to himself.

"For your sake, you had better take this well."

Hal nodded in response.

"Yes." he replied.

"I've been giving 'updates' to those that need it, and so far they are satisfied." he told her.

"Give me another 10 days, and your name will be clear, as it should be."

"Bar." Hal responded.

"No, it's not seedy or anything." he told her.

"Many of my agents frequent it." he said further.

"Most reputable bar in the city, actually."

Hal raised an eyebrow.

"...hm." he mumbled.

"Well, where he works shouldn't be an issue." he said.

He then grabbed a small piece of paper and wrote the address down on it, handing it to here.

"Here."

Hal was silent as she asked her question, and then sighed.

"I do." he said.

"Marcus is... well, we are friendly acquaintances." he told her.

"And he doesn't like people knowing where he lives." he went on.

"...however, I will make an exception here."

"Yeah!" Hal called back.

"...I said, yeah!" he repeated, before pausing.

".........oh. Right." he mumbled, getting up and making his way to the door, opening it.

"Step inside." he told her.

Hal nodded.

"Indeed." he said.

"Nice to see you again." he told her with a smile.

"Take care, now." he finished.

"I do." Hal responded.

"You go and do what you need to." he told her.

"You got transportation covered?" he asked.

"Or want us to help?"

"Hm." Hal mumbled.

"Well, you know the drill, and the code phrase for needing more time." he told her.

"Just do what's right for you." he said.

"And anyone that has something to say about it, can talk to ME."

"I'll put it in my durdle-pile with a time of 3 weeks." Hal told her.

"The rest of these, I'll get to work on." he said further.

"If she wants to talk to me, she's free to, obviously." he went on.

"But. How are YOU faring these days?" he asked her.

Hal sighed.

"Firstly, I know." he said.

"But she won't have to fight." he told her.

"And it has to be 3 weeks, else it seems suspicious." he then said.

"Seriously, too quickly, especially with a disappeared corpse? Not good."

Sharp looked at the file on top, and scratched his chin.

"Hm." he mumbled.

"Well, might take a few weeks to get through this." he told her.

"Yeah, three weeks before we can determine she's innocent." he smirked.

Sharp looked over to her, and nodded.

"Of course." he responded.

"Where?" he asked.

"Is it location specific, or can it be here?" he asked further.
