"Jesse," part five

Not to be confusing, but I'm thinking about organizing this fic, eventually, as a trilogy (I've just gotten a bee in my bonnet about another sequel, for whenever I have the wherewithal), and I'd probably call the whole trilogy "The Slave Breakers" and give the individual components individual names (like for example it could be "Bran" for the first, completed 15-part story, "Jesse" for this one and "Not Telling" for the last one-- does that make any sense?).

Anyway, I'm calling this story "Jesse" for now.

Part Four
