Summary
“Oh,” she said finally, “that’s really cool! I never did meet the old--” she stopped herself, thinking better of it-- “the Commissioner in person before.”
He smiled kind of sheepishly, and laughed a little bit, and said “That’s me!” and Jess felt a whole bunch of emotions at once, worry and fondness and warmth, and a strong sense of "get out of here, kid, you’re too good for this world."

Nobody sleeps in Macchiato City, and one sleepless night, Jess finds herself thinking about what she's seen. -
Bookmark Notes:
She’d looked at Parker and felt that feeling, and it hadn’t felt good. It had felt familiar, in a way that made something inside of her flicker almost adjacent to that familiar rhythm, like it used to, a long time ago, and then very briefly one last time, and then never again. But it had also felt like silence on the other end of the line where there should be breathing. Like red sky in the morning out on the prairie. Like howling out down across the Styx. Like the sound of hollow tapping on the outside of a splintery, rigid wall.
She knew in her heart something bad was going to happen to that kid, and she knew more than anything she couldn’t do a thing about it.
