[Takes place a week after “Angelise” leaves Zephel and Rika at the cafe (Early Bird and possibly a few days after Rocking, Ironing where it’s revealed to Zero by Jean that Mitsuko is close by.)
Jean was working late in his office at HQ as he had received some child abuse cases from “Angelise” a few hours prior. He knew this angel’s real identity but had chosen to keep what he knew to himself for now, especially since Zero wouldn’t stop asking about what information he gained about her--Zero wanted that information so badly, that he kept sulking, pouting, and kept having a temper tantrum by stomping his feet whenever he walked around HQ doing the cleanup duty he was assigned as punishment for pointing his weapon at Rika.
Jean had to hold Zero accountable for his actions, because if he didn’t he would be no better than the other adults that failed Zero. Jean wasn’t about to be one of them even if it caused Zero and Jean to argue every now and then. The biggest point of tension right now, was the information about Mitsuko’s whereabouts. Jean just wouldn’t budge and tell Zero what he knew. He wouldn’t crack under the weight of Zero’s temper tantrum, or his intense blue eyes that seemed to be searing Jean’s soul whenever they made eye contact.
One day when Zero is a father he will understand.
Jean was also aware that “Angelise’s” memories were scattered at the moment, to the point where she didn’t remember Zero’s name yet and he didn’t want to overwhelm her, but he wished to speak with her in private so he had asked “Angelise”over the phone to come meet with him in his office.
To ensure her safety at this time of night Jean had given the angel specific instructions on how to be stealthy, and how she could use her angel cloak to her advantage.
Jean was also aware of the angel’s background so he knew that she was in hiding so any tips and tricks that he could pass on to her was pretty much welcomed. One could even say that “Angelise”was being trained so early on before she reunited with Zero and had begun to form a daughter father bond with Jean because of her work as a nursing intern. So even though Zero hadn’t reunited with his treasured best friend yet, in many ways Jean was getting to know her first which was a good thing; and already he could see why Zero cared for her so much, and why he missed her.
Eventually “Angelise” made it to HQ and snuck into Jean’s office window, and of course he helped her inside carefully and quietly. “Thank you for coming Angelise. Please have a seat. Oh and don’t be alarmed, no one can hear us talking. My office is soundproof. Feel free to speak without fear okay? You’re safe here.”
