"Oh!" Jagger said, realization suddenly exploding onto his face, "I'm sorry, with investigating and whatnot that slipped my mind."
Silence, and then Jagger asked, "Why did you accept my offer to drive you home then? Why didn't you just remind me that you drove yourself to work?"
It just didn't make sense.

Victorique shrugged, "Slipped my mind." she guessed. No. That was a lie. Sex.

Jagger gave her a look. He was wondering how it could have possibly slipped her mind, that she had driven to work.
Deciding that it was best not to know how this could have happened, Jagger awkwardly said, "So...I guess I'll see you tomorrow then?"

Victorique smiled apologetically. "Yeah, I guess so. See ya." she said.

Jagger nodded his head and drove away. He felt almost sad to leave the girl behind. He had no idea why though.
Jagger woke up early the next morning. Thorn had been moved into his bed while he had been gone, and there the boy still slept. Jagger got ready for work quickly, and with a good two or three hours before his office even opened, he went to Victorique's house. He awkwardly pulled into the drive and knocked on the door.

Victorique was sitting in her kitchen watching TV and drinking coffee. She had taken a shower and gotten dressed, but wasn't still entirely awake. She was ripped out of her morning fog by a knock at the door. She took another sip of her coffee and then walked over to the door, opening it. She was somewhat shocked to see her new boss there. "Ah.. Hi." she said.

"Hello there." Jagger said, trying to keep the awkwardness away, "I'm sorry about coming here so early, but I figured since I dropped you off last night I would pick you up today. I'm a bit early because I thought you would like to go out to breakfast first or something..."
Jagger was obviously a morning person, but it didn't look like Victorique was. He felt bad now.

Victorique nodded, "Oh. Alright. Sounds great!" she said, "Thanks!" she opened the door the rest of the way and gestured her arm towards the inside of her house. "Come on in. I'm almost ready to leave. Let me just go get my bag." she said, and walked out of the room to get her stuff. She went into her room and grabbed her bag, then walked back into the kitchen. She turned off the tv and kitchen light and said, "Shall we?"

Jagger awkwardly looked around when he was ushered inside. He wasn't sure what to do besides awkwardly stand there, so he was happy when Victorique came back out.
"Yeah." he said, nodding his head.
He got into his car once more and started it.
"You know," he commented, "Thorn is still out cold. Will he be waking up sometime soon?"

"Well how much of that stuff did you put into his drink? I wasn't exactly paying attention." Victorique said, and chuckled at herself quietly, remembering what had happened last night. "My guess is maybe about noon time or something." she said with a shrug, assuming. She hoped that Jagger didn't put his brother into a coma.

"Ah, I don't know." Jagger admitted, starting the car and driving away, "Enough, but hopefully not too much."
He didn't want to admit it, but he had been distracted at the time from Victorique making out with his brother. It had upset him, surprised him, and disgusted him all at the same time. He wasn't sure why either.
"Well, where would you like to go to eat?" he asked, changing the subject.

Victorique looked out the side window because she loved to do that. It amused her watching things go by LIGHTNING fast. When Jagger asked where she wanted to eat, she shrugged. "Anywhere, I guess. I don't mind." she said, then let herself be preoccupied with the window for a few more moments before turning to look out the windshield window.

"Alright then. I guess I'll pick a place." Jagger said.
He wasn't sure what to talk about now. He knew they had a long day ahead of them. The court date was tomorrow. They had things to do. Plus he was still concerned about his brother. He would have to check on the boy after they ate.
With his mind so full of thoughts, he didn't notice that the car on the road intersecting theirs wasn't going to stop. Like Jeff would have said, he wasn't scanning.
The two cars collided with a loud screech.
Jagger was thrown clear and landed with a sickening thud on the road in front of them (that that was hard to hear because of the other noises in the background that this scene had caused)

Victorique was somehow completely uninjured except for maybe a few scratches, because the crash had totally happened on Jagger's side of the car because he wasn't SCANNING. She freaked out and got out of the car. She checked Jagger's pulse really quickly then pulled out her cell phone. It was probably very difficult for the police to understand what the hell she was saying through her explosive sobs, but they must've managed it because they showed up three minutes later.

Back at Pontmercy & Co. Thorn was finally waking up. He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket and checked the date and time.
"No fucking way," he said, "That bastard. I don't know what happened, but I know that it's my brother's fault! I hope he just dies in a car crash and someone runs in right now telling me he's dying at the hispital!"
