Chapter 139: 139. Secrets.

"Jessie called?" 

"Yeah, she's looking for the detective that was in charge of her case." Krystal informed him.

"What's with that look?" Jonathan asked her when he noticed her expression. 

Krystal bit her lip and sighed. "I know that detective, I've met him before." She confessed. 

"Let me guess you didn't tell Jessie that." He stated with accusing look.

Krystal pursed her lips. "I'm not sure I should even be telling you." She said.

"Oh? Why is that so?" He asked. 

"It makes me feel two faced and dirty." She replied. "Don't you ever wonder how I got all that information about Jessie in the first place?" 

"Huh... I don't see how that's a betrayal." Jonathan shrugged after she told him of her relationship with Lenora and Jamie. "I mean it was a give and take. But I have a question, why did you choose to call me that day at the spa? You couldn't know why I wanted information on Jessie." 

"Well first of all, you're paying me, they're not. Plus if push comes to shove, you have more resources to help Jessie if need be." She said honestly. 

"You don't know that I would help have helped her." 

"Why are you suddenly asking me all this?" She frowned. "Are you by chance testing my loyalty? Look if anyone should be tested it definitely isn't me. Jessie means a whole lot more than just an icon." 

"Just answer the question ." Jonathan insisted. 

"Fine, if you have more resources to help her, then you have more to lose." Krystal statd frankly.

"I don't understand." He shook his head.

"Jamie is a normal cop, nothing special. Lenora might be rich but I've never heard of Hastings, besides her personality alone is enough to make me choose another side. You on the other hand, are COO of the biggest business in the country, a scandal like that could destroy you." Krystal said.

"You think I care about this company?" Jonathan scoffed. "Or the fact that I'm a part of it."

Krystal narrowed her eyes at him, again he manages to rattle her into wondering why she is around such a mysterious man. "Well if you don't care about this, then you must have something more special than what you have here. Do you think it won't come out in such a situation?" She asked.

"If I have a secret that hasn't already come out, don't you think it's one that can't be revealed?" Jonathan replied. 

Krystal placed her hands on his desk and leaned down to look him in the eyes. "Don't you think you're underestimating fans? Just because you were in the news a few times doesn't qualify as the spotlight. Trends on the internet as part of a celebrity scandal, worse someone as big as Jessie Marin, whatever secret you have down to the very doctor that delivered you will be out to the world. Wanna bet?" She stared into his eyes with a frightening intensity and he returned it as such. This went on for a few seconds until he gave in.

"Hmmm... well you should get to work. Find this detective." 

**************************************************

"He's not at the police station?" Jessie questioned. 

"Another cop in the station told me he was suspended. But he is also not at his home." Krystal replied. 

"Didn't you say you knew his girlfriend?" Jonathan asked her, she waved him to keep quiet. Placing her hand on the speaker she cautioned Jonathan. "What good will telling her that do now? I haven't met with Leonra yet." She said in an audible whisper. 

"Do you have any other lead? Like where he might be?" She asked.

"I might have one, but nothing concrete." Krystal replied. 

"Alright then thanks a lot. Is Jonathan there? I think I heard his voice." Jessie asked.

"Yeah, I'll put the phone on speaker." She said.

"Hello Jonathan."

"Jessie, how are you? Does Jason still believe you're mad at him?" He asked.

"Yeah" she dragged out. "I feel pretty guilty lying to him like this." She said.

"Don't be, you're doing this because it necessary. If he thinks you're mad at him then he will give you space, wasn't that the plan?" Jonathan replied. 

"It was but... I didn't expect him to be this affected. I mean.. he told Katherine to come speak to me, ugh... I felt so guilty lying to her." Jessie groaned. 

"Soon enough, what do you want me to do?" Jonathan said trying mask the ire in his voice, why would she feel guilty? She was trying to escape an overly protective man, and for good reason. 

"Oh yeah, I'm afraid Jason isn't going to stop at Katherine." She said.

"Do you know who he is going to next?" Krystal asked.

"I'm not sure, he's not very predictable." She sighed.

"Who are the people that know you best?" Krystal asked.

"Hmm, the only person that really knows me would be... oh my goodness Tony! My manager." Jessie blurted out. 'Would he really go to Tony?' 

"Would that really be a problem? If he goes to Tony?" Jonathan asked.

"I would never be angry or resentful for so long because of something so trivial. Tony knows that." Jessie said. 

"So we have to contact Tony." Krystal surmised. 

"I have his number, It's the only phone number I cared to memorize. Well that's and Jason's" She said proudly. "Didn't realize it would ever come in handy." Jonathan rolled his eyes at the mention of his brother's name.

"Are you sure he hasn't changed it?" Krystal asked.

"No it's the recent one, I met him recently. Thank a lot Jonathan, Krystal. I call you tomorrow and tell you were to pick me up the day of the ball." She said.

"You still haven't told us how your going to get out." Jonathan stated. 

"Well that depends on you guys, I need to know the exact location, where the detective I'd currently staying. Or I wouldn't even have to come out." She sighed. "Either way, you guys have been such a big help, I have to go now. Bye."

"Matt, I have an assignment for you. Have Paradise look into Jamie Anderson, tell them to find his current location. Oh and give me reports on Jonathan Kang and his secretary... Karen? Kathy?-"

"Krystal sir, Krystal Oh." Matt corrected. 

"Yeah, I want a detailed report on everything they did the past week, down to the very meal they ate." He said.
