Keith walks in and shuts the door slowly.
KeiTH
Jacob, I'm Detective Keith. I hope my colleagues have been treating you fair.
Keith sits across from Jacob, who has bruises all over his face and stitches on his chin. Jacob only focuses at the table in-between them.
KEITH
Do you need to go back to the hospital?
Jacob looks to Keith and puts his hands on the table. Keith goes over the rap sheet.

KeITH

Jacob

KEITH

JaCOB
No, but I had been thinking about it... Every time I open my wallet, I see the card he gave me to call--

KEITH
Sure thing. Just a
