Disclaimer:
I do not own all of there characters, some of them are not mine. I do not pretend to own them, this is just fanfiction and is done because I like this show and am curious if I can write something that other people that like this show would like. This being said… this isn't a Carrie-Brody fanfic, it might seem that way at start, but it isn't. It's not a Carrie-Quinn fanfic either as that is just plain illogical. Please leave as many comment as possible, bad or good. "I'm a big boy… I can take it.".
Author's note:
Seeing two people favoring this fanfic and one following it... after just one day, made me want to publish two chapters today... so here it is another one. My boss is going to kill me as I didn't get much work done today =)) Anyway... please leave as many reviews and comments as possible... I need the feed back if I'm going to improve.
Chapter 3: The deception
Saul sat down on his chair, sighed in regret of what he is going to do. He didn't know if it will hold. Carrie might want more details, like where they found him or pictures and if she calls his bluff his plans would easily fail, but if she gets to emotional... if she gets hysterical, upset then he's got her. It all depends on how weak she is when it comes to Brody and Saul was willing to bet his house she was very weak.
The door opened and Carrie walked in. She looked better today, no doubt due to the visit at the Brody house... where she plotted how to further aid the fugitive.
"Come in. Sit down." he said and she complied. He continued by looking her dead in the eye, putting his hand on the red file on his desk and saying "We found him. In Canada, 83 miles from the border... that's a 4 days road on foot. Looks like he's been dead for a while..." he did not finish talking before getting to see his bluff paying off. She started crying, hysterical. She looked like she was dying inside, but Saul needed to push on. It pained him to do it, but he had to.
"So, you did help him get away?" he asked.
"Fuck you, Saul. Of course I did. How could I not?" she said not caring is he arrested her for it. Then, a scary thought crossed her head... he was bluffing her. He was fucking bluffing her to admit it. A marine doesn't just die in the wilderness... not a trained marine, not such a good marine... and no fucking way. "Fuck you, Saul. You fu..." he stopped her before she could continue.
"I'm sorry Carrie. I had to do it, I had to make you admit it so that I can help you." he said.
"Bullshit, you want to hunt him down." she cryied "And I failed him..."
"No, you didn't fail him and no... I won't hunt him down. I know he didn't do it, he was framed. For the last 2 years we know we have a mole and it's that mole that framed him." Saul said and got interrupted by Carrie.
"No shit. Why did you insist he was a terrorist?" she asked.
"Would you have trusted me?"
"No." she said.
"I had to make you trust me. Now you don't have a choice..."
"Yeah..." she said.
"I want to catch the mole and once we do that I can help you clear his name. Help me catch the mole and I will help you get him back. I promise." Saul sounded serious.
"Okay. Fine. How do we catch the mole?" she asked.
"I already know who they are..." she interrupted him again.
"They?"
"Yes. Dar Adul and his little assassin Peter Quinn." Carrie's face went all surprised, her jaw dropped a little. Saul continued on explaining.
"When you and Brody were fucking around at that cabin of yours... Estes locked me up, because I found out that Quinn was actually an assassin send to kill Brody, in order to cover up the drone strike. He was stalking you two the entire weekend... because he was under orders from Estes to kill Brody..."
"But he didn't kill Brody..." she said.
"Precisely. He violated a direct order from Estes and didn't kill Brody. Why do you think that is? " Saul asked.
"He needed Brody. He needed somebody to frame and with Brody he already had the tape and the explosives were already in his car... they were loading the car with explosives when we were at the cabin" she started to link it all.
"Exactly, he couldn't kill Brody, but he knew Estes will kill him for not obeying the order." Saul pressed on.
"But he wasn't concerned about Estes, because he knew Estes would die the next day in that explosion." she deduced.
"He just needed to tell Estes something to delay the killing for a day... something like this..." he pressed a button on his laptop and an audio file started playing. As Carrie listened she realised Esters apartment was bugged and they were listening to a conversation between Quinn and Estes, in which Quinn told Estes he would kill him, if he touches Brody.
"Why would Quinn risk his life like that. Estes would have him dead in 2 days after that?" Saul asked.
"Because... because he wasn't afraid of Estes. He knew Estes would die the next day, he just needed to make sure Estes didn't kill Brody until the explosion." Carrie said.
"Yes. But the plot thickens... Quinn is not the only mole. He didn't have the access to important data until a few months ago..."
"But his boss did... Dar Adul... he's an operations director..." Carrie said.
"Yes he is...and... we're going to feed him false data and catch the bastard. Are you up for that?"
"Hell yeah..." and a big smiled appeared on Carrie's face. It was the first time from "Goodbye, love." when a little hope appeared. They would catch the bastards and get Quinn to confess to framing Brody... and Saul was on her side and he had Estes job now. But could she really trust him? Was he using her to get both Brody and the moles? And even if they catch Quinn and Adul, could they make Quinn confess?
