Donovan chuckled when he heard Jackson's comment. He nodded his head as he silently listened to Jackson. It was true, they did have an never ending list of cases to work on. He was never a fan of the ones that went cold, so even if they did play catch up on other cases, either more would come or he'd spend time working on the cold cases because he desired to close them too. Justice could be so unfair at times. He hoped with hard work, there would be nothing they couldn't accomplish. "Oh no. I'm happy where I'm living right now. I sometimes even take my work home. It is just, when you get caught up in something, time seems to fly right by, work is that way for me. So for the sake of not leaving during the day and putting up with the sun and all of that, I just chose to stay at work. There isn't anything I care to do at home right at the moment." He admitted, somewhat regretting it but it was too late to take the comment back now. "I lived all over the place." He answered, though he was taking this time to try and think back to all of those locations.

"I was born in New York City, but seeing as I'm old. We moved a lot so that our secret wouldn't be noticed." He caught himself and stopped, not believing that Jackson would care to hear him rambling about the good old day. He chuckled when Jackson made his comment. "Come now... I was only saying your friends could share information about you with her. That isn't a crime." He answered with a smile, figuring that Jackson was joking. "Shall I put somebody to watch your sister? Ensure that she doesn't continue this stalking behavior?" He teased, seeing no harm in continuing this joke just a little bit longer.

Donovan chuckled, having a pretty good idea of a reason for why one would stay up but Jackson didn't need to know that. The fact that he had mentioned school work had given it away, either Jackson was in high school or college, meaning he was likely on the younger age of some of the town folks here. He had mentioned where he was from, smiling when Jackson made his comment in return. "It was different than it is now." He answered, choosing to leave it at that. "Well it first started with my family not staying in one place too long, but than I left and started traveling on my own. When I arrived here, it seemed to be a good spot to settle and I haven't left ever since." He explained, thinking back on those times when he had traveled to ensure he gave Jackson correct information. He watched as Jackson rolled his eyes, glancing towards his friends before looking back at him, giving his answer. "As a good sister should." He teased in return, figuring that as long as it wasn't some serious criminal stalking, it frankly was fine, for now anyway.

The woman soon came back, this time not alone and she was pointing her finger in his direction. "I should head over and explain my side. Somebody will head over to you and your friends if they require further information." He answered, politely excusing himself before pausing. "I just realized, I never got your name. I'm Donovan also known as the police chief. What is your name?" He asked, hopeful that Jackson would give it to him.

Donovan smiled as Jackson spoke. "Maybe someday." He answered, hopeful that if Jackson desired to traveled, he'd be capable of doing so. Jackson had finished his slushy just as the woman had come back with two police officers. He looked at them and they looked right back at him, surprised the woman had the nerve to accuse him of such a thing when they knew him so much better. If they didn't have reason to believe she was drunk before, they had it now. "Yeah. It will be just fine." He answered, looking back towards Jackson. "It is just protocol. It will be fine though." He answered, trying to assure Jackson. Shortly after they exchanged introductions. "It was a pleasure talking with you Jackson. I hope to get another chance." He answered, of course talking about it being under good circumstances.
