Jagger made a small noise that was a mixture between a groan and a laugh.
"You...don't need to worry." he gasped, "'Not your fault.....I should....have watched."
He opened both of his eyes and examined the girl standing before him. He made sure she really wasn't hurt, then closed his eyes once again. The light was still blinding.
"Hows the case?" he grunted.

Victorique's eyes shifted to her notebook on the floor, then back at Jagger. She was scared that Thorn might come in and eat her for talking to him about the case while he was in the hospital in such bad shape, so she quickly mumbled, "I got Mr. Masako to speak.... Kind of." she said and crossed her arms over her chest. "He said that Kira and her brother had gotten into a fight when Mr. Masako had been laid off and her brother refused to give them any money." she said, speaking quickly but clearly. "They stopped talking after that."

Jagger was silent for a bit. he was obviously trying to process everything that was going on in the case, but he seemed to be having a few problems.
"You have to go back." he claimed after a bit, "We need evidence. 'Have to prove...prove she framed him."
He started coughing suddenly, and when he finished coughing he groaned in pain. It was a few minutes before he could talk again.
"'Need to look around the house. Bring a tap or something to get evidence." he added. Silence, and then his eyes opened suddenly and he said, "Oh! Find out how much money they have left. Any debts? Bills soon to come?"
He groaned once again and closed his eyes. "God, my eyes hurt." he mumbled.
That was when Thorn came in with a nurse. The nurse said to both Thorn and Victorique, "Out, out! We need to get the doctor in here. We're surprised he's awake so soon. Come back in a few hours!"
Thorn shrugged his shoulders, grabbed a box of chocolates, and stepped outside of the room.

Victorique swiped up her notebook before she was kicked out of the room. Once she was kicked out she stood there for a while and thought about what to do. "Oh, Thorn." she said, more calm than she was earlier. "Your motorcycle is in the parking lot. I picked it up this morning." she told him. She hoped that would make him less mean. Although, he would probably find something to complain about. Victorique figured that was just how he was.

"Really?" Thorn said. He as obviously surprised by this, but to hide it he turned back to his chocolates. He popped one into his mouth and awkwardly chewed it. When he finished, he turned back to look at Victorique.
"Uh...thanks." he said, "So, what are you going to do now?"

Victorique let out a sigh, "I'm going to go back to the Masako's and get more information." she gave one regretful glance back at the room they had just been kicked out of, then looked back at Thorn. "And some evidence." she added. She would have to buy some kind of device to record her conversation with the Masako's. She'd probably just stop at best buy or something. Because best buy has spy equipment.

"I see." Thorn said. He brushed his brown hair out of his face, revealing a few scars he had gotten in both his childhood and motorcycle accidents.
"Do you want me to come with you?" he asked. He normally would have just told his brother that he was coming aong with him, but he was trying to be polite to the girl who had brought him his motorcycle.

Victorique shrugged but was a little surprised. She didn't show her surprise though. "If you want to, I guess. I have to pick up an audio recorder at Best Buy first though." she said and put her notebook back into her bag. She grabbed out her car keys and began walking towards the exit. "It won't be terribly exciting. But maybe you'll even be able to help, so I don't see why not." she said as she got to the exit, and held the door open for Thorn.

"My brother has one of those recorder things back at his office." Thorn pointed out as he followed Victorique to her car, "Maybe we should stop by there. Who knows, Jag might have a few messages you'll have to take for him. Just ask the lady at the lobby. And his recorder should be in his desk somewhere...I think."
Thorn was very helpful. Kind of.

"Alright." Victorique said, getting in the front seat, "Thanks." she stuck her key into the car place where the key goes (i'm not very car smart) and made it go vroom vroom? "I suppose you'll get your motorcycle when we go back to the hospital after a few hours?" she said, hoping that he wouldn't jump out of the car to go and get it. She didn't want to be responsible for both of the brothers being in the hospital.

"Yeah, I guess so." he said, "It probably doesn't even work now anyway. I'll have to fix it up, like I always do. God, my brother was so pissed at me for that! Now I see why..."
Thorn turned and stared out the window. As he was turned away, he spoke, "You know, maybe we're both just lucky. We both got into crashes and came out almost unscathed, when another person in the crash is lying in the hospital dying."

Victorique sighed, "Yeah. I almost wish it had been the other way around, for me." she said, mumbling the last part. She kept her eyes on the road and was being incredibly cautious about what was on the road. She was keeping at a good speed and was SCANNING like Jeff would have told her to do (right? right.).

"Tell me about it." Thorn muttered, "I don't blame you. I feel that way too. I almost killed a fucking little kid. She's totally in the hospital right now. Now Jag has two hospital bills to pay. He's not going to be happy."
He awkwardly tapped his fingers against the glass, reliving yesterday's accident.

"Yeah, I wouldn't think so." Victorique said. Thorn was a terrible person. He almost killed a little girl? Maybe he should've just stayed in jail so he wouldn't kill anybody! But of course, Victorique wasn't really thinking this. Willow just needed something to rant about. But foshiz now; Victorique hated the thought of people being in pain. She wished that bad things would stop happening.
