𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐓𝐑𝐈𝐎 𝐇𝐀𝐃 left almost immediately, leaving the poor teenage Lexi rather dumbstruck, but hey, at least she could play a few notes on her father's piano, and she knew the three... odd strangers would get to the bottom of why her father was killed.

The group of three had quickly hopped onto the subway discussing what the plans could have meant. Olivia tried to chip in, but to be honest, she couldn't come up with anything. What on earth could have been at the bottom of the hole? Perhaps whatever they needed Danny for? Who knew?

All she knew was that the second the subway doors opened she jumped out, it had been packed and she was ready to leave behind the scent of sweat in favor of fresh air swirling beneath the night sky.

The three of them walked in a line, getting a few annoyed looks here or there for taking up almost the entire path, though their gazes dropped the second Liv or Jess scowled back.

Jess shook her head in annoyance as another man in a business suit stormed past them and bumped into her arm. With a huff, she looked towards Olivia and Matt. "So, the architect discovers a structure underneath his building and whatever it is, it's bad enough that he dies trying to blow it up."

Olivia nodded her head in silence as Matt hummed with furrowed brows. "Right, he wanted to destroy it. But he didn't have to blow it up. I think he wanted to collapse it down. Are you sure the structure in the hole was man-made? Could it be some sort of bedrock?"

Olivia huffed a breath as she shook her head, Jessica copying her actions. "It's thirty stories deep, in the perfect shape of a dome, I doubt it."

"All right. Fair enough..." He paused for a second before tilting his head. "Jessica? How'd you know? About my dad."

"A crime-fighting blind lawyer, I figured there had gotta be a good story there."

"Or a shitty one."

The Hale smiled sadly to herself, it certainly was a shitty story. Waiting for your father to come home only to find him dead with a bullet in his gut and a body full of bruises, knowing he died alone. She couldn't imagine what the guy felt, well to a certain extent she could, but she still had her brother and uncle, he had no family, at all.

She wasn't one to pity, especially for people like Matt, someone who used his weaknesses as strengths, most of the time it did more harm than good. So rather than giving a pat on the shoulder and telling someone it would be okay, she showed it through her actions. Treated them like normal people, sometimes people really did need normalcy.
