Words I Never Said, Pt. 2
All three of the women were now locked snug inside of Maura's office. Jane and Sadie took the small couch and Maura took the uncomfortable orange chair.
"So, why would Dr. William Lee Bowers kill himself with Potassium Cyanide after being chased?" Jane was wanting to get straight the point and didn't bother to hold back.
Sadie looked at Jane and then answered. "He more then likely killed himself so whoever was chasing him couldn't get the information they wanted."
"Information? What information and who is 'they'?"
Sadie sighed she knew she had to explain everything, but at the same time had to be cautious about how much information she revealed. Even though Dr. Bowers could trust Jane and her team, Sadie was still unsure if she herself could trust them.
"Have either of you ever heard of the company EndeCom?" Sadie asked and both Jane and Maura answered simultaneously.
"Yes! I have!" Jane jumped.
"No..." Maura was confused.
"Wait. I actually know something the know-it-all Dr. Maura Isles doesn't?" Jane teased with a big smile. "Well then...let me unleash the google-ness on you." Maura titled her head in defeat and prepared herself for a long winded explanation.
"EndeCom, is a well known international arms dealer for militaries all over the world. They are known for being the most innovative, their stuff is top of the line and no one has been able to compete on their level. Ever since they switched owners, their sales have been phenomenal."
"Almost too phenomenal." Sadie intercepted. "The Doctor and I were, as you could say, working too closely to their operation. They grew suspicious and found out that we had information to expose them and possibly bring the company down."
"You mean to tell me they're corrupt?" Jane's curiosity grew.
"Yes, that is exactly what I am saying. The doctor had information that is extremely important, if they would have caught him and discovered what we've been working on, lives would have been in danger much sooner than we intended."
"Lives in danger..?" Jane tried to piece all of what was being said together. "Is that why I couldn't pull any information up on him?" Jane furrowed her eyebrows.
"Yes, he had to erase anything that could be traced back to him, make sure that no one would be able to obtain the information on his latest project, even if he were gone. Just because he is dead doesn't mean that our mission..our project...still can't be carried out."
"He had it all planned. He erased himself from the systems and killed himself so they would have no way of further finding out the specific information that they were after. Leaving you and your team to work on your mission without the risk of having your everything exposed. Smart." Jane slowly concluded.
"What is so important that he would go through all that trouble? What information are you hiding?" Maura asked trying to put the pieces together herself.
"It's not my place to tell you at this exact moment."
Jane rolled her eyes. "What do you mean? You can't tell us anything? ...and who are you to this man anyway?"
Sadie acknowledged the two woman's frustration and sighed knowing that she would have to tell them who she is. "What I have told you and what I am about to tell you stays between us until I say otherwise."
Jane was about to blow a gasket. Who the hell does she think she is telling me to keep my mouth shut until she tells me to talk, Jane thought. Maura seemed to notice the invisible steam pouring out of Jane's ears. She cleared her throat and gave Jane an it's-okay-just-listen look. Jane twisted her mouth at Maura.
"Okay, fine. Nothing leaves this room unless told otherwise." Jane nodded.
"My name as you know is Sadie Clark. However, my birth name is Olena Kovalchick, my home was in Ukraine and Russia, but I left years ago to come here."
"Зашто сте напустили?" Maura asked with a huge cheesy grin. Jane rolled her eyes and silently tried to mimic what she thought she heard Maura say.
"Your Serbian is superb." Sadie was fascinated that the honey blonde could speak the language.
Jane could see there was a connection sparking between the two woman and a ping of jealousy shot through Jane. "Well, I'd love talk it up with both of you in Serbian, but I was only taught one language. English. So let's use that to finish this conversation." Jane squinted her eyes at Maura.
"Неко је љубоморан. Ти си лепа, ја бих превише." Sadie smiled a thousand secrets to the honey blonde. Maura blushed and had to look away so Jane wouldn't notice.
"Vomit. Seriously?" Jane was getting angry now.
"Okay, okay. I was in charge of the security for EndeCom. It was a very beneficial and morally rewarding job, that is, until a man named Francisco Rasmussen took over. When he took over, he turned the company upside down, not financially but morally. He started top secret projects. He would indulge in secret business meetings with other world business and political leaders. I became suspicious and dug around, I found out what they had planned and wanted no part in it. I snuck out of the country and came here to restart, continuing my studies in nanotechnology and Nuclear engineering here in the States. When I finally got an internship, it was with NuGenCo and they started helping me with my Master's thesis, that's when I met Dr. Bowers. He took me in and had a great interest in what I was researching. It involved what seemed like a revolutionary way to take down EndeCom with what could be solid backing. Dr. Bowers decided that the content within in my research was in dire need of more examination, so him and his company, NuGenCo, came to my aide and together we worked on the project that could potentially put an stop to Endecom's operations."
"What? How would nanotechnology, nuclear genetics, and nuclear engineering, stop an operation that is dealing with an international arms dealer." Jane's mind created a million different questions. "What the hell is this operation anyway?"
"New World Order."
Jane laughed hysterically. "Okay, seriously, you want to stop the governments and nations from being united? It sounds like they have a pretty good solid moral backing."
"That's the problem. The New World Order act is a hoax. Have you ever wondered why people are protesting it all over the world? They're slowly finding out that their governments are conforming to this act, but not for the same reasons being presented to civilians and to billions of innocent people."
"What do you mean?" Jane asked trading in her giggles for silence.
"I'm saying that there's a different plan being executed than what they are telling us. It's extremely dangerous and people are becoming defenseless. Something big is happening and it's about to go down soon. That's why they went after Dr. Bowers. If I...we...don't stop it, billions of people will be in danger really soon." Sadie was trying to warn them and some how look for help from the two women sitting in front of her.
"Why was the doctor looking for me?" Jane sparked.
"He was looking for you to tell you that my team needed help, that we together could stop what is coming to us."
"We? You want us to help you stop an international arms dealer and an already widely excepted New World Order act? Lady, you must be out of your mind." Jane got up and was finished with the conversation, it was now branded in her mind that the old Doctor was crazy in a mad scientist way and committed suicide for a hopeless cause. "If you're that concerned about this whole...whatever the hell it is...get the FBI involved, Boston Police Department can't help you. Okay?" Jane shrugged her shoulders and started to walk out.
"Wait. If you don't want to believe me I understand, but at least look at this before you make a final call. We need you and your teams help, it's a dire situation and not helping would be a great let down to what we know as humanity right now. Please consider it before it's too late." Sadie begged and handed Jane a decent-sized package.
Jane sighed and yanked the package from the woman. "Yeah, sure, whatever. I've got to get back to work."
Maura looked apologetically at the Sadie. "I'm sorry, but I think she does have a point. Anything dealing with that size of an issue regarding government officials should probably be handled by the proper authorities. It really is out of Boston's jurisdiction."
"If you say so. Anyways, Would you like to go out with me Friday night?" Sadie ignored her opinion. She knew that swaying the Chief Medical Examiner wouldn't be as difficult, all it took was a little bit of science to prove what she was trying to say.
Maura was taken aback. "Well...I'm flattered...but..."
"Please?" Sadie smiled to try and come off as a little more persuasive.
"I really shouldn't, Sadie, but thank you." Maura shook the possible idea of how mad Jane would get if she found out that she had went on a date with Sadie. Even though they weren't dating she could tell that Jane was always jealous of the people Maura previously dated. She never thought bad of Jane's jealousy, in fact, she always hoped that the cause of it was because secretly Jane had feelings for her and wanted Maura for herself. I can hope, right? Maura thought.
"Alright then, at least I tried." Sadie exited with the room with rejection and Maura was left thinking about everything that she heard. She honestly didn't know what to make of it and she wasn't about to go bug Jane about what was in the package either, at least not yet.
