“ A journalist. “ Danny’s answer is clean and practiced, hair trimmed short and gelled into position like a real celebrity, practiced every word in the mirror and in the car on the way to work and in a thousand different moments. This, to say, he knew how to handle people like Jamie, and you could feel it. the smooth ringmaster with naught but leather bands to keep the lion at bay and yet still they puppetted the beast like a marionette rather than a horror show awaiting its opportunity, one never granted. you had to be good, of course, really good at that to get anywhere and not get caught.
he walks in with a small crowd of others, cameramen and news anchors and not-from-here reporters, all there for the same reason. Something weird happened, and weird means a good story, and anywhere there was a good story, the vultures came.
It just so happened that there’d been a lot of blood involved. It sounded like a horror movie on the back of school grounds. Danny was almost excited to see it. And right off the bat, he could tell that Jamie had something to hide.
Like a shark smelling blood, like a shark breathing it in.
“ Or, technically, I’m a photographer if you prefer the proper term, sir. Sorry about all the ruckus, news doesn’t wait for anyone. “ he pauses in front of Jamie as his brethren goes by, as if a sacrifice on the very words he’d just spoken but the importance of respect taking a bigger priority than being there now. a bandaged finger fiddles on the knob of an expensive looking camera held in his grasp, antsy, but regardless he offers the man a small apologetic smile and a handshake. “ Jed Olsen, by the way. You’re the principal here, right? Fowler? Can’t blame you for being pissed when a gaggle of wannabe journalists comes stomping through your school. I’m not the head of my group, but I can at least apologize and introduce myself "
there’s the sound of somebody calling back from the group something about getting over it and to come on Olsen, just within earshot, but Danny shoots them a glance that shows more disrespect than you might initially expect out of features like his, before his eyes go back to Jamie and the expression softens back into what it was before, if a little more sympathetic on the behalf of his ruder allies.
