Jon was someone who never liked to work with people who didn't trust him as much as he trusted them and as Tally expressed his doubt, Jonathan fired him. Perhaps not the smartest move he could have made but it was the one he made. He did have a bad habit of reacting negatively and letting his emotions take over but not to sodding murder a politician of all people.
By the time Gene came back, Tally was packing up. "He fired me so he's all yours. Good luck, Jonny."
"Ah, fuck off." Jon called out as Tally shrugged, knowing he had to go to call Barty ASAP because if he wasn't willing to let him help, he needed Barty to. As Tally left, Jonathan looked at Gene. "I'm being stitched up, you dick. Isn't it obvious?"

"Yeah? Because you'd never kill anyone, innocent lamb like you? Kill some arrogant politician who doesn't like your kind, doesn't like poufters and who's a threat to your family? Looks like motive to me and I've still not heard an alibi. Drunk so I ain't remembering ain't a motive. That's a confession." Or as good as, anyway. Gene shrugged, checking his watch. "All right, you ran off your lawyer. So, what do you want? Need a phone call? Want to talk?"
He was being very generous here. "Or maybe we'll get you into a holding cell until you will talk."

"Holding cell." Jonathan suggested because out of every option, that one was probably the smartest. He had to try and recall what the fuck he was doing last night. He remembered fight with Edward, shooting up and having a relaxing afternoon and then nothing. He went back to see Horton? The bastard must have done something. Someone must have asked him to go there - right?
He needed to think and he needed to work out how to get a better lawyer. Maybe he could hire Edward's new boyfriend - now there was a mess. "Mark my words, it weren't me. I know you fucking want this but you should want it right and fair.

"Even if I wanted to believe that, Jon, you haven't given me a single other option. No alibi, no tears, nothing to convince me of your innocence. I'm doing my due diligence, but you're not walking free until your name's cleared." And, no, Gene was not about to lose any sleep over it. "It's looking clear cut to me and you've done plenty stupid shit before. Just seems as if this time you don't have anyone willing to cover for you. Shame. Better for you to do crime in a less posh district, they like you more there."
"Cause scum like me should stay in the caravan parks, right? You sound just like that bastard." He wished sometimes that he had the chance to deck Gene in the face but he knew assaulting a copper would end with him in jail. And going to jail was a bad option. He had a lot of enemies and fuck, Alfie would be in charge.
"Holding cell is still my pick. Then we'll talk. This is -- this is bullshit." What did he do? Maybe Eddie knew his whereabouts, maybe Barty knew who had it in for this fucker. "I'll tap back in when your DI is working."

Horton was the one that wanted the travellers off his property. A really lovely bloke, wasn't he?
A politician though? Why would Jonathan kill a politician so obviously? It seems like it could only end in jail and Jonathan isn't that messy.
He's always careful. I wonder why he'd slip.

Doesn't feel right though. In my gut.
He cares about his family, like you said, but he knows he has to be there so he's always careful. I know, I heard it from Barty.
If it is true then it's a damn shame. The community will suffer a lot without him.
So what - are you remanding him to custody?

hes being a princess who wont talk until my fairy is on the case

"Oi! Princess!" Gene called out from his office, smirking when Sam looked his way. Ha. Made him look. He grinned and got his feet off the desk, getting the file ready for Sam and holding it out to him. "There, have a look. If that stubborn paddy still doesn't talk, we're about to have a whole traveller convention in here. Maybe he has a granny that wants to give him an alibi."
"Did you pull all the travellers in?" Oh God. That was what they needed, to backslide in relations with the travellers and Jonathan. That wouldn't end terribly for all of them. He looked through the file curiously and tried his best to ready himself for how insane this was about to be. "I hope you haven't pulled the lads in. Holden and Axel are minors, they would need a parent or guardian present."
And that was Jonathan so he had no idea what would even be done with that. Maybe they could get Tally back. He flipped through the case and then frowned. "Seems pretty solid so far. Maybe you have finally gotten him."

"Relax. So far I've only called in his lover and the big brother. I just need to hear what they gotta say." Gene shrugged, looking at Sam. "You really do look like shit, by the way. What's that all about, other folk have been working since yesterday here and you're all fresh."
He shook his head and then gestured to the file. "I know I got him, that's why I hate this so much. Can't ignore that feeling, can I? That he didn't do it."
Much as he wanted that smug asshole in jail.

"I've been sick. I don't know how many times and ways I have to bloody say it but I got a stomach bug, I've had a fever, I'm barely recovered." Why was it that every time he took a sick day, they were all baffled and acted like he was a wuss but when Ray had a cold for three weeks, that was just fine. Fuck all of them.
Sam looked at the file and then looked at Gene. It was true. It just didn't add up, it didn't feel right at all.
"Jonathan isn't an idiot. Even when high, he's strangely together. I can't see him doing this. It's out of character but... we have to go by evidence, don't we?" People did out of character things all the time.

"Yeah, we've fucking gotta go by evidence. Maybe we can find some other suspects at least. Think we can rule out suicide." Multiple shots from far away made that one a bit of an impossibility. "That was Chris's theory, in case you're wondering. Wondering why he has a bruise forming."
That lump deserved it.
"You could try and talk to the fast talker. Edward. I'll deal with big bro, he understands my accent better." Alfie responded a lot better to the old-fashioned ways.

"So I get Edward because Alfie likes you better, is that it? Not because you find Edward annoying or anything, nah. Couldn't be that." Sam sighed but he knew it was probably better if he interviewed Edward. He was a Dublin boy, not a traveller and somewhat outside the community so he was a bit less hostile to talk to. Though he was -- he would say Jonathan's boyfriend but he had no idea.
"Fine, I'll go see Edward and you go poke Alfie."
Jonathan would be detained until they had any reason to let him go so if they both felt off about this, now was the time to try and get evidence.
