Agent Charles Smith sat at his desk in the Federal Bureau of Investigation New York division staring at the same file he had been staring at for almost three years. Edgar Evernever and his organ harvesting cult had been his main case since Edgar had showed up on the FBI radar almost three years ago. Whenever he and his team had gotten close to a break, the Farm would disappear without a trace. Leaving Smith and his team frustrated and back to square one. As far as he could tell, there was no rhyme or reason to when and where the Farm shows up in an unexpecting town. All the known survivors were too afraid to talk to him about the farm. One had even attempted to take their life after they had questioned them.
Charles continued staring at Edgar's file taking a sip of his coffee even though it was cold now. He was hoping for some sort of epiphany that will help find Edgar Evernever and his farmies. He wasn't sure how long he was staring at the file when one of the members of his team ran up to his desk.
"Agent Smith! Evernever has popped up! He's close by."
"What? Where?" Charles said standing up whilst grabbing his suit jacket from the back of his chair.
"In a town about half a day's drive from here. In Riverdale."
Charles stopped in his tracks. He wasn't sure that he heard the younger agent right. "I'm sorry. Where did you say he is?"
"In Riverdale. Not that far from here."
Charles knows exactly how far they were from Riverdale. He doesn't have many good memories from being anywhere near the town. Starting with growing up surrounded by nuns in a group home, then meeting a fellow orphan called Chic who introduced him to drugs and the art of scamming people to get by. Worse off all, his birth mother slammed a door in his face. But that's all in the past now. He's an FBI special agent for Pete's sake. He worked hard to go from nothing to where he is now.
He must have been staring off into space, what he does when he's deep in thought, because the young agent called his name again.
"Agent Smith, are you alright?"
"Yeah. Tell me everything you found out."
