Interview:
What's your name?
âHenry Jones, plain and simple.â Pretty inconsequential, like a John Doe or some other name you donât give a second thought. When he married Eloise heâd even thought of taking her last name but Henry Mercer just didnât roll off the tongue the same and he didnât want to let go of his motherâs maiden name. Juno had his grandmotherâs at currentâ that much felt like tradition. It eased the fact the fact that they had to hide her parentage. He couldnât very well call her Jonesy anymore, a nickname sheâd insisted on after watching Coraline one too many times, but sheâd always be his Junebug. âDoctor Henry Jones, if that makes much of a difference.â
How do you know Tabitha Spencer?
âThe same as I know most people that come to my clinic Iâd say. Tabitha comes around for her annual check-up, you know, the usual. Canât say much else past that due to doctor/patient confidentiality and all...â And a big chunk of working alongside these people was being trustworthy, that you wouldnât go and tell people about your ailments and all else. âIf I remember correctly though, she was lending Juno a hand when designing our patient portal. Junoâs really good with the coding, itâs a little hobby of hers but she wanted Tabithaâs input on the visual. Smart kid, Tabitha, creative and all.â
How do you know Jose Alves Cruz?
Jose he knew less. Henry knew of him from a spectators perspective, seeing the man run his campaign on television and hearing his daughter talk shit about it. That much was the extent of it. âHeâs the mayor, I believe. Not the type to visit my clinic, or so heâs never ventured past my doors. All I have of Mayor Jose are opinions really, from what Iâve seen on the news or words Iâve heard from other people but I donât know him.â
How do you know Hollis Fiala?
If Henry barely saw the mayor then he saw Hollis Fiala never at all. âI do have Fae coming into the clinic, though as far as numbers, theyâre the lowest when we count the patient demographics. Itâs harder for Faeries, Iâd say, trusting that Iâd know enough of their physiology to help or even trusting me with information about them so I can tend to their injuries or other ailments. So I get some here and there but youâd understand why an heir wouldnât necessarily want to come to a clinic like this one. I tended to their shoulder after they were shot, with what I know of Fae and all, but Iâd heard they crossed the veil after. To be treated by the in house doctor, Iâm sure.â
Did you see the shot/what happened that night from your perspective?
A necessary question with a more-so embarrassing answer. Between texting his kid like the overbearing father he could be and admiring the slope of Cameronâs nose, he hadnât been the most perceptive when all was said and done. âWell, I heard the gunshot, the first one...and you know, firing a gun is as dangerous as yelling fire in an enclosed space. People panic, you have a crowd of people running for the exists and its easy to trip on your feet and get trampled. Lucky that didnât happen. So thereâs the first but I look around and donât see any blood and then I hear the second. Suppose that one met its target. Hollisâ shoulder. Not the worst place to be shot Iâd say. Not from experience more from a doctorâs perspective. Often a clean shot through the shoulder, very rarely does it knick something dangerous. After that, Iâd spent some time tending to their shoulder as I mentioned. Lilith and Elias were assisting me with that much. Iâd brought a first aid kit, one of those bigger ones youâd see inside a paramedicâs truck. Had a few things that could help, glad for it.â
When did you get the invitation for the party/know you were going to work it?
âAttending the party wasnât part of the plan originally. It was just going to be a night in,â dinner and movie with the kids but that wasnât information anyone really needed to know. âIâd say that I knew some days before the actual party. Well more than a few daysâ enough time to prepare yourself for whatever was to come during the New Years Eve event.â
Did you go with someone?
âYeah, Iââ the doctor pauses for a moment, readjusting his glasses in order to give himself some time to formulate just the right answer. It hadnât been a date, per se, but then, shave off all those less than favorable pieces and some of it felt like just that. âCameron invited me to go. As back-up, Iâm assuming.â Though he may have done a poor job at that, spending most of that time pining after his not-date.Â
Do you own a gun/have you ever owned a gun?
With every single hyper-fixation heâd had in his life, every desire to consume all the knowledge in this world, guns have never sparked much interest. Then he came to the Underground and tried humoring the ideaâ but all it took was one ânoâ from his daughter and heâd set the thought aside; âguns hurt inexperienced people more than they hurt other people...or something like that, Iâm not a statistics major,â sheâd said. âIâve never owned a gun, no...hippocratic oath and all. A doctor with a gun on his hip would be a weird thing...and I want these people to trust me. They canât very well turn to anyone else, go to Unaware hospitals. Imagine a vampire, undead, gorgon, whatever walking through those doors, seeking help and Iâm standing there armed...Juno, she says, do no harm, take no shit and I donât really need a gun for that.â
