"Your place? Your place is anywhere but some place where someone would even 'think' of hitting you." Malcolm said in a whisper as the teacher entered the room.

"We can talk about this after the exam if you want," Malcolm suggested as he got his notebook out for the exam.

IC:
Mike, unable to come to a decision, decides to take his cell phone and head to the hospital to check on his father. Before leaving he makes sure the house is locked up tight, and leaves the room like it is, just in case he does decide to go to the cops later.

While T-Bull talks to Ferris, Jessica revs up her car and drives off, leaving them behind. She drives past Misty, not noticing her at all and completely intent on something.

Misty is close enough now to them, needing to pass by T-Bull and Ferris to get to the store.

OOC: MISTY, TBULL, FERRIS

Mike makes his way to the hospital without incident. As he's heading toward the room where his father lies still unconscious, he sees a familiar figure standing outside the door. Its the ever-annoying, not remotely his best buddy, Detective Mickey Barton of the HPD.

The detective doesn't see him, in fact, he seems to be waiting for someone. Who he was waiting for becomes evident when a distracted young woman exits his father's room. Her dark brow is furrowed and she seems upset about something. Mike recognizes her as one of the young women from the Fu Kim restaurant.

Just as she exits the room, Barton reaches out and grabs her by the upper arm, halting her from going anywhere further. The two exchange heated words in low voices.

As he gets closer, he can hear the young woman speaking in a cold voice. "I'd be careful if I were you or I'd slap you with a harrassment suit so fast your head will spin. You forget that I'm a lawyer."

"Lawyer? You're not a lawyer yet, Jess. And you're the one that needs to be careful, poking your pretty little nose in places it don't belong." Barton smiles at her, a weasly sort of smile before casting his eyes downward into her shirt.

Just before Mike reached them, he could see her eyebrows knit together and fire burn in those dark eyes.

Mike's eyes involuntarily follow the cops gaze, but he quickly looks back up to the womans face, trying not to look guilty, as he clears his throat to attract their attention.
"Hope I aint interupting your important POLICE business, 'officer', but what you looking for down there, the guy who shot my old man? I don't think he'ld fit."
(OOC: insert massive dose of sarcasm here. /ooc)

He then turns to the lawyer, ignoring the cop unless Piggy does something drastic/important "Jess, right? Yo could I talk to you 'bout something.. uh, important?" He says, trying to get her away from Piggy "That is if you're finished talking to detective Hardon.. or was it Barfton? Sorry, I'm terrible with names." He gives her a half smile and a wink while facing away from the cop.

OOC: Jess/cop

Detective Barton starts at Mike's appearance and then frowns slightly, not even having the grace to be embarrassed at be caught oogling. "Oh its you. What are you doing here?" he asks rather stupidly.

"Oh I don't know," Jessica rolled her eyes and folded her arms across her chest. "Maybe because this is his father's room?"

While the detective turned a bright shade of dark red...and not from embarrassment... Jessica smiled cheerfully at Mike. "Sure thing! Why don't we just go back into your father's room." She waved to the uniformed police officer just coming back from his trip to the vending machine.

"Don't you have a donut bin to raid?" she asked Barton sweetly.

Carlos is able to sense that Amy is obviously still angry at him and not too much appeased. She ignores him and begins to flip through the folders, frowning at the contents while he heads out of the Virology lab.

OOC: CARLOS -- Do you want to keep going or will you say anything more to her?

Entering the room with Jess, Mike doesn't even look at piggy, and closes the door behind him after he and Jess enter. Stepping away from it, he smiles at her and says (Careful not to be too loud) "So whadya think, is he the biggest a$$hole ever born, or what?" His smile fades a bit as he steps over to his dad, to see how he's doing. Looking up at her, he continues "Oh, I'm sorry.. You probly know it allready, being as your a lawyer, but my names Mike... Michael Matthews."

"Well it's been my misfortune to have known him for a few years," the young woman replied wryly, watching as Mike checked up on his father. Her dark eyes soften just a bit. "I'd have to say that Barton...he doesn't improve with age or a lengthy acquaintence."

When Mike introduced himself, she nodded. "Yes, I know who you are. I never forget a face. My name is Jessica Nguyen...I think you've met my sister, Amy? She's the doctor who took care of your father...and don't worry...my sister is an excellent doctor...if anything can be done for him, she'll do it tenfold."
