Who: Juno and Marco (Cecilia, robo-Marquito and Daniel present in the vicinity)
Where: The Greenhouse
When: Around 9:30am
Because upon arriving to town hall, Juno and Cecilia had simply been told that neither Marco nor Daniel were in there anymore, it had taken them almost an hour to look for Marco in most buildings before Juno poked her head inside the greenhouse and, after looking in there a while, heard his voice.
She sighed in relief and walked towards him, at first with purpose, then slower and slower as she got closer. Cecilia had offered to take the baby and stay within view but out of earshot while they talked, which Juno appreciated, but even the other woman's encouraging presence didn't make this any easier. Especially because there was someone else there, someone she hadn't met.
"Uh, Marco?" She called, voice trembling. Juno felt ridiculous in her work uniform, a cheap red cardigan over her shoulders to match. She couldn't mask the gravity of it all, nor did she want to. "Sorry to interrupt you at work, but I really need to talk to you. It's urgent."
In order not to interrupt the other man's work Juno moved over to another area of the greenhouse, out of earshot of both Cecilia and the man she suspected might be Daniel, but with eyes on both plus the entrances. She had her head low, and stood in silence wondering how to break this news without breaking down again. It was better to dissociate, detach, pretend it was just some news about someone else.
"So, um, the Sheriff got orders from his superiors to um..." She swallowed, her heartbeat accelerating again. Her mouth felt suddenly so dry it was like dirt in her mouth. She kept her haunted eyes low as she continued. "...to let Simms out pending trial tomorrow. Let him out soon. Today. Now. He's not supposed to come near me but he'll be out. Free. And then a jury will be chosen and the trial will be tomorrow."
