Chapter 4:
I entered the interrogation room. I interrogated each Detective for four hours. Most of the questions I asked were the same, but reworded. They answered them the same every time, but I wasn't surprised. Unfortunately for them we brought in a fae that could force the truth out of them. With a snap of her fingers she got them talking. Though both of them knew Lauren had attempted to turn the Morrigan human neither of them knew she had succeeded or so they said. Neither of them knew about Lauren's initial research either. I said a silent amen at the thought. After their two interrogations I went to them to lay down ground rules.
"Your jobs are very important to maintaining our way of life. All that we ask is you follow the rules. You will receive word in a week as to whether or not you will be getting you credentials and guns back."
Once they were dismissed I headed down to Lauren's cell. She was seated in the corner. I opened the door closing it behind me. She looked up at me before scoffing and returning her attention to the ground.
"What are you here for?" She asked.
I shrugged, "I could ask you the same thing."
"Well apparently I am believed to have tried to plot against the fae."
"That's true. The fae who cursed your girlfriend which lead to her death. The fae who kept you in servitude for seven years. Those fae."
"Oh so you've heard of them," she said dryly.
I sighed. "You do understand that being fae is the same as sexual orientation. You don't wake up one day and go hm, I'm going to be fae that sounds great. We're born into our genus and we're generally born into our sides. Then it comes down to nature versus nurture as to where we go from there. You deciding you should have the power to make fae human and humans fae is wrong. It's unethical and it goes against that idea of Do No Harm. You remember that don't you, Doctor?"
"Fae feed off of humans and humans don't even know what their up against. At least the zebras know about the lions." She yelled.
"But here's the difference between zebras and humans. Zebras don't have guns, they don't have medical licenses, they don't have the technology it would take to kill an entire species. You are trying to dumb down what humans are capable of, you are trying to make it seem like this situation is black and white, but it's not. Humans kill each other. Humans kill fae. Fae kill each other. Fae kill humans. You need to stop trying to justify your stupid, selfish actions as for some greater good; this end won't justify the means believe me. All it will do is incite a war, and either human or fae will be filed down to numbers where they can easily be detained. This will never be black and white; it'll always fall in shades of gray and as soon as you start understanding that you'll be better off. Hopefully you do so before it results in your execution."
"What are you trying to say huh, that everything I've been doing was wrong?"
"Misguided is the term I'd use." I corrected. "You could be curing things that ale humans, but instead you worry about the wrong things. If you ever get out of here find a way out of the fae world. Do something for your own species that doesn't require making them something they're not."
