"Jayden," JJ said quietly as he backed away from the table with a scratch across the floor. "Jayden can you answer a question for me? And if you lie or don't answer I won't be upset, but I will be disappointed." She knew that was one of the worse things someone could say to Jayden.
"Uhm...okay?" he asked, shifting from foot to foot as he watched her.
"When was the last time you ate anything?"
Jayden's jaw dropped slightly and for a split second, JJ thought he was going to bolt. Instead he chewed on his lip before he answered so quietly they could hardly hear, "two days."
JJ managed not to react, but only just. "And what did you eat then, honey?"
"Just a- I had a cup of noodles. I'm okay though, alright? I can handle it."
