Heretic, Hysterical and Ill-Equipped [Closed]
WHO| Jason, Cole and Emily
WHAT| Jason shoves Cole in a closet and Emily rescues him.
WHERE| D7 Suites
WHEN| Week 5
WARNINGS| Panic attacks, Jason being rough and sadistic to an innocent ghost-boy.
The first few times that the boy went and sat in the District Seven hallway, Jason dragged him out to the elevator and sent him back down two floors. A few times after that, he just ignored it, unwilling to spend his time guarding the sanctity of the hallway for a District he has no loyalty to, that was assigned to him seemingly at random.
But today, when he gets in for work, before his Tributes and before Emily are awake, he can't seem to bear it. He sees the little figure skulking in the hall and it seems almost a personal insult, as if Cole set out to get here before him specifically to spite Jason. It occurs to him that Cole might have been here all night, that while Jason was having dinner and bathing and sleeping the injury was increasing by the hour, stretching over the night like the dawn is sprawling over the living room.
It overtakes him, that anger that he always keeps at bay, that wound he refuses to stitch. It moves his body as if by puppetry. Jason's face goes red, his neck tight enough to choke his words a little as he stalks over to where Cole is seated, ascetic and devoted. Jason's easily twice the kid's size and yet that doesn't matter. All that matters is that Jason's sick and tired of Tributes showing him up and humiliating him for sport.
"You! This is the last damn time-" He reaches out to grab Cole by the collar, voice hushed enough not to wake the Tributes but only just, as if he's shouting still.

He rolls his eyes, then gets up from the couch, not out of any urge to intimidate her (yet) but listlessness. He holds his tongue from the real depths of his thoughts for a moment, not out of respect for Emily but because even Jason knows there are things you don't say if you don't want to terminate a working partnership, and he doesn't have the sway to get Emily replaced by another District Seven Mentor.
"He was getting in my way and disobeying direct orders from a citizen. He's lucky I didn't get him arrested. That's how things work around here, in the Capitol, between citizens and non-citizens."
By which he means not just Cole, but her as well.

"Look, I'm just saying that if you want Dorian to cooperate with you when he gets back, you might not want to lock up his friend. Goodness knows I spend enough time arguing with them that they should to listen to you."

"Don't try to pin their bad behavior on me. Don't try to fit their backwards, counterintuitive logic that has them biting the hand that feeds them on me." Jason moves his hands up by his head, raising his voice. "All I ask for is a little cooperation. I don't even give a damn about their respect or if they like me. You'd think that given that we feed them and keep them warm, they'd do their best not to piss us off."
