At least this time she wasn't defeated by sodium pentathol shampoo )
He was interested to hear what Jaime had to say, and what she might ask him. He was as prepared as he figured he might be for the encounter, but there was always the chance something may happen. He was armed with a single gun that was tucked neatly below the jacket of his suit which had been specially tailored to disguise any telltale bulge from the weapon.
Still, he affected a pleasant demeanor as he waited for the door to be answered, putting on a slim, businesslike smile.

"Hi," Jaime greeted him with her habitual warm smile. "Thanks for coming by. Please come in." She waved him into the apartment. She'd worked on trying to cozy up the place with throws and pillows--though the kitchen was still conspicuously absent a kitchen table from an incident way back in August.
"Can, ah... can I get you some coffee or something?"

She sat down across from him in an easy chair, sipping on her coffee a moment before speaking. "Gosh, ah... I don't even know where to start. I... I guess I just... from your perspective, I want to know what happened."

"My perspective?" He raised an eyebrow lazily, taking another drink of the coffee. He seemed to act more like he was in a business deal than a conversation about having delved into parts of her mind most people would prefer to be kept to themselves. "I assume you're looking for more detail than what I provided for the police report. I would like to know, how much of it that you remember after the other Officers took control of the situation."

"Was that Tierney, do you know? Because everything going awry seems to be going back to him. I mean, I know there was this Major guy with the Nazi robots and everything, according to Lassiter, but... I didn't remember why I visited him until after I came to. I think he or someone played with my memories. I'm already a partial amnesiac, I don't need more of that."

Jaime picked up her coffee and sipped it. "Even now, though, I don't remember anyone fooling with my arm... whoever did this was good. Far beyond anything I ever saw at home, and I've seen some brainwashing kind of stuff." She shudders a little to think of it.
"So tell me, doc, is this stuff out of my head for sure?"
Reply
"There's no reason anything should remain. The alteration of your mind was not extensive. It was only enough to manipulate you to the extent to which the reprogramming would be successful."

She trailed off and then picked up on a new line of thought. "Is... is there a way to prevent something like that? I mean... sort of, protect yourself from hypnosis or whatever?"
Reply
"Possibly." He held the mug in one hand and watched Jaime with eyes that seemed to gain a certain sharpness to them. "It's dependent upon the mind, and the method used against it." He certainly had his own level of skill, but the recent brainwashing had given him cause to wonder how he might hold up against the vast array of methods he'd never faced.

Jaime trailed off, saddened by all that had happened to the police force, and the last thought came out out-loud without her thinking about it. "You'd think since we were brought here to police this place the Porter would..." She shook her head, knowing that thought would go nowhere. It was obvious to her by now that the edict to protect the City as its Police was largely a sham, Jaime was sure. Jaime's desire to work with the police came out of her own sense of responsibility or she wouldn't have done it anyway, regardless of what she was expected to do.

"I wouldn't be able to teach you, but there's another who might. He's far better at this sort of thing than I am. From what I understand, he's already acquainted with Officer Bauer."

"Oh? Who is that?"
((ooc: With his "sharp eyes" is he trying to get any information from Jaime? This is okay, just wanting to know if/what I should be telling you.))
