A/N: I don't own any of the Elementary characters and I am not making any money from writing this.
Please forgive any minor spelling or grammar mistakes, English is not my native language.
This is just a short story I came up with after re-watching "Child Predator", which was, I think, one of the best episodes of the series. It is written in first person, from Adam Kemper's point of view.
All of them-well, almost all if them-think that everything is over. That they caught me, and that it's done. They couldn't be more wrong.
I already see myself, lying to the jury, judge, news reporters, my parents, everyone. Watching them trying so hard to deduce am I lying or not, and failing miserably, believing my lies. Seeing me as a victim. I imagine Sherlock's helpless face when he realizes that nobody will ever see me in a way he saw me, because they simply can't, and they, only they, are going to decide about my fate.
I am already thinking about what to say. That Samuel contacted me via cellphone from the hospital and ordered me to abduct and kill Billy. Or maybe he hired someone to look after me while he was in the hospital and give me his orders. That he was planning to abduct and murder Billy before he ended up in the hospital and that I was so afraid of him that I went with that myself. That Samuel forced me to sleep in master's bedroom so nothing would look suspicious if somebody drops by. It is just a matter of being convincing and creative.
I will be out soon. Sherlock knows that, although he doesn't want to admit that. I can already smell my freedom. It is so close that I am shivering. Such a young man, so much time in front of me. All that innocent children and caring parents, just waiting for me.
Freedom...
