Sorry for the short chapter and info-dump. There's a brief conversation of a past rape based on season 3 episode 7.
It had been several hours since Constance and Treville had begun their investigation. They were at a loss. Feeling dejected, Constance was dropped off at the safe house.
She walked around the couch holding her cellphone and looking at her co-workers. "Thank you boys for filling up my in box." She sat down next to d'Artagnan on one end of the couch.
"Who is this Grimaud anyway?" d'Artagnan asked the room. "And why is he so determined to see us dead?"
Sylvie slipped out of the room where Elodie, Marie and Anne were sleeping. She took up a chair next to the couch where the others were sitting. "I'm guessing you had no luck," she said.
"I'm sorry, Sylvie." Constance sat on the end of the couch closest to Sylvie. She leaned over wrapping her hand around Sylvie's wrist giving it a light squeeze.
"So, does anyone have an answer to d'Artagnan's questions?" Sylvie asked.
"We know his childhood home," Aramis answered.
"We have the name of the owner of the house from the time he might've lived there," Porthos said. "Her name is Juliette Benoit. We can't find her though."
"We know thirty years ago she pressed charges against a detective for rape when she was eighteen," d'Artagnan said.
Sylvie covered her mouth horrified.
"The accused detective had worked at our precinct," Aramis said.
"Was he convicted?" Sylvie asked.
The four on the couch shared glances. "No," Constance finally said.
"She had a baby nine months after the alleged rape," Porthos said.
The connection between Lucien Grimaud and Juliette was obvious to all. No one would say it.
"And there's not a lot on Grimaud," Aramis said. "It's as if he appeared out of nowhere."
"Something must have set him off," Sylvie said.
"He realized we were from the same precinct," d'Artagnan said.
"We were going after Feron and him by association," Aramis said.
"Anything on Juliette Benoit's child?" Sylvie asked.
"Robert Benoit was a troubled kid who also disappeared when he was seventeen," Aramis said.
"I know a Juliette Benoit," Elodie stood just outside the bedroom.
