Role in Case(s)
Jessica was first interrogated after the player and Jack Archer found the victim's phone, which she tried to call ten times. She was surprised to hear of Adam's death, and knew something was up when he did not return from the nearby souk. Jack pointed out how much of coincidence that Adam was killed the same way as Chief Ripley, Jessica thought that they were implying it was the embassy's fault. Before Jack could explain, Jessica said that both deaths were the fault of The Bureau's and sent the player and Jack on their way.

Jessica had to be spoken to again after she informed the Bureau that they must leave by the end of the day. She said the embassy decided to vacate the country because Adam's death caused a political scandal, showing a weakness in the embassy's security. Jack thought that this was a way for the Bureau to not solve Adam's murder, but Jessica stated that she did not care for what happened to Adam as she found out he wanted to steal her job. She informed the Bureau that they have until the end of the day to complete the investigation, or they will be escorted out of the country, by force if necessary.

In the end, Jessica was found to be innocent after the team Christy Mathis for Adam's murder. However, she was spoken to again by the player and Marina Romanova regarding a photo of Adam which said "Watch your back!". Jessica apologized to the player for her behavior during the investigation and offered money to say thanks, but Marina said they could not accept monetary compensation. When asked about the photo, Jessica said it was how she found out about Adam wanting to steal her job. She hired Jonah Karam in order to keep tabs on Adam, to make sure he would not try to steal her job.
