After about an hour, the interview ended, and Jason walked out with a smile when they found absolutely nothing on him. He slipped his hands into his pockets and straightened his jacket, then gave Monroe a slight bow.
"I hope we meet again, but in a different setting," Jason said in a lightly teasing tone as he walked away from the beautiful detective.
