Chapter Ten: One Ninety Seven
Cabe sat on the train, which was about half an hour from arriving In Poughkeepsie.
He thought about the pictures that he had looked at on his phone before. He wondered if there were pictures from his distant past.
He took his phone out of his pocket, and found some more photos of his distance past. Photos of him, and his daughter when she was six, and of him, and his wife, and also of Amanda with Misty when she was a puppy, and then he found one that confused him. It was a picture of him, Amanda, and a younger boy who had to be at least ten or eleven years old.
Cabe then felt a sharp pain in his head, and said:
"Ohh boy, I know what this means by now."He said then passed out.
Cabe is sitting in the passenger seat of a car. It is an older model Chevy Trailblazer, and he is wearing a suit, like he always does for work, and there is another man sitting next to him who is driving.
The road is made of dirt, and on each side is a wooden fence that either is holding in sheep, cows, goats, and other cattle.
Cabe then got a transmission on his two way radio.
"Agent Gallo, we are about reach scorpion's receiver."The commanding FBI Swat force leader said.
"Proceed to enter, we will arrive shortly after."Cabe replied.
"Copy, ten-four."He responded.
"Ten-four."Cabe replied then cut off the receiver.
He placed his two way radio down then picked up the FBI classified file, and opened it up.
All of what was inside of the file was five documents that the FBI had on scorpion. The documents had scorpion's computer records, IP address, and the location of his IP address. They did not have much more information on him either than that.
Cabe looked through the files once more then, he got another transmission on his radio.
"We have scorpion, he's just a kid."The commanding FBI Swat force leader said.
"Detain him, without force."Cabe responded.
"Ten-four."He replied.
A few minutes later, they approached the driveway of the house.
When they pulled in, Cabe saw the helicopter that had landed in front of the house, swat trucks that had in big yellow letters FBI printed on the sides, and the mother, and father with their daughter in their possession, and the only one who was not in distraught was the father.
He also saw, a young boy in a space sweater who had curly brown hair, and big brown eyes, with his hands cuffed in front of him, and two swat officers holding one of the boy's arms on each side.
Cabe sighed then stepped out of the car. He slammed the door behind him, and began to walk over to the boy. When he got in front of the boy, he squatted down to the boy's height so he could look the child in the eyes.
"What's your name son?"Cabe asked the boy as he smiled a comforting smile at him.
The boy looked into his eyes. When he did that, Cabe saw the fear quickly escape from his eyes.
"Walter, Walter Patrick O'Brien sir."The boy, or Walter told him.
Cabe nodded his head then looked back at the boy in the eyes.
"Well, my name Cabe, Cabe Gallo, but you don't have to call me Mr. Gallo, call me Cabe."He told the boy still, with a smile on his face.
"Okay, Cabe."The boy said then smiled at him.
Cabe smiled back then, the smile quickly left his face.
"Now son, do you know what you did to get you in trouble with the U.S. government?"Cabe asked the boy in a calming, but serious tone.
"Well, I did hack NASA."The boy told him."I just wanted the Space Shuttle blueprints for my bedroom wall."Walter continued to tell him.
Cabe nodded his head.
"Okay son, I'm sorry, but I have to follow protocol, just as the same that I would do for an adult, which means that I'm gonna have to take you in for questioning."Cabe told him."I'm gonna take you in my car to the U.S Ireland navy base for questioning."Cabe continued to tell him."Do you understand?"Cabe asked.
Walter gave him a look of disappointment then looked down at the ground. He nodded his head.
"Okay kid."Cabe said then he went to put his hand on his back, and guide to the back seat of his car when a thought suddenly came to his mind."You know what kid?"Cabe asked him.
"What?"Walter asked.
"Given the special circumstances of this case, I'm gonna let you go back upstairs to room, and pack some clothes for the night, and the next day, and anything else you think you might need while you're gone."Cabe told the young boy.
Walter looked back up at Cabe with a huge smile.
"Thank you Cabe."Walter told him.
Cabe smiled back then said:
"Anytime kid, anytime."He replied with a smile.
