After rescuing Hannah from the mine and discovering the identity of the Raven Man, Jake had only one unresolved question left - you.
That part of the mystery that's plagued him since the beginning of the investigation, when, after Hannah's abduction, her friends and Jake received your number from her phone. You knew nothing about who Hannah was, you live far away from Duskwood, but somehow you still agreed to help everyone search for your missing friend.
Jake focused on the investigation, began to trust you enough to put the mystery of the phone number aside for later. However, when he brought Hannah out of the mine and asked her if she knew you and your phone number, she answered emphatically no. That was the first time he felt a prick of suspicion.
It had been almost three weeks since the mine explosion, but Jake still hadn't contacted you, even though he'd promised you both would see him in Duskwood. He'd started a new investigation-he wanted to find out what you might be hiding. And by golly, he found it. The realization hit him like an electric shock as he stared at your file on his laptop screen. FBI agent. You're a goddamn FBI cybercrime agent, one of the ones he'd been running from for years.
He gotta hand it to you, you're good and cunning, managed to gain his trust. He fell in love with you like a schoolboy, even though he's never seen you in real life.
Jake knew he shouldn't do this, that he should run away, but he still wanted answers from you, to look you in the eye, even at the risk of being arrested by you.
He suggested you meet him at midnight outside the old Duskwood library. He needs to know if there was anything real between the two of you, or if you were just doing your duty.
