[ She shrugs. ] I think the only one who can decide that is you.
[ « You're never the same after something like this. It stays with you. Even if isn't a part of an alien dimension or a entity. You can never see the world the same again. The poster goes back to the wall, but you always know something is behind it. You never go back to just a room with a poster. » ]
Well, they found you near a sight of investigation. Not to mention you've been missing for a long time. I can't blame them for being suspicious.
[ She stands then with a smirk. ]
I'm sure you're curious about it. Given that's the last place you were in was Brighr Falls.
[ She nods as Anderson looks in the room. ]
We'll talk more in the morning. I've taken enough of Agent Anderson's time right now.
I'm sorry if my early questions were difficult, Mr. Wake. Let me start over. My name is Agent Saga Anderson, and this is my partner Agent Casey...
[ Jesse steps aside then out of the room and closes the door behind her. Casey shoots her another glower from over the rim of his cup, while Steve smiles tiredly at her. She motions for Casey to take her place before she begins to move from the room. She nudges Steve to join her as she walks. ]
Is that really him, Ma'am? The Alan Wake? From the AWE case in '10?
It looks like it. I'll ask him more questions in the morning. Foe now, let's head back to the motel. Oh, and Steve?
Yes, Ma'am?
Remember to sleep with the light on.
Already ahead of you, Director. Even bought myself a nightlight.
[ Morning comes without much of a fuss, but, Jesse can't say she slept well. Knowing what she does of the Bright Falls AWE makes her on edge when night comes. There's no evidence just yet that the threshold is active. But, if Wake is back from that other dimension? It has to be active, somewhere. Which means she needs to get in contact with their agent here in Bright Falls.
Although Chavez isn't available until the afternoon.
It's fine, it gives her more of a chance to talk to Wake and get a better understanding of everything. There's documents about what happened thirteen years ago... and then there's talking to the man himself.
She's glancing over the documents e-mailed to her by Emily. Of course, Emily can't e-mail directly from the Oldest House, so they're scanned e-mails, but its enough for Jesse to know what she's looking at and refreshing her mind on. People, names, places. The exact events of the AWE seem to all be accounts from people around Alan, and they're scarce at best.
Jesse glances up from leaning against the car with a nod to Anderson and Casey as they leave the cabin. She decides to speak with Anderson, communicating that she needs more time with Wake for her own agency's documentation, but if they need to speak with him more then she can wait. Casey seems to like that idea, but Anderson agrees they can wait. There's something else it seems the agent wants to figure out...
She watches as the pair walk off and glances up at the cabin beside her.
« Well, want to let him know we're here? I thought you would. »
Wherever Wake might be, he may feel a familiar nudge. Similar to what he experienced the night before. As well as a feeling that maybe he should head outside in the morning light. If he's paying particular attention, he may even see a shimmer that hints the direction he should go. ]
