Merlin and Galahad had to give it to her, she was holding up longer then they thought. It was evident that she was suffering and possibly torturing herself, they were ready to break themselves. They have interrogated others but none has ever been this difficult. This was further then they've ever had to go, especially with a female. This was classed as military style interrogation survival and she was pushing it to another day.

Galahad was ready to pull the plug and let her go, but Arthur insisted they waited. She would crack, all in good time. Merlin agreed with Arthur, but a nagging feeling in the back of his mind, knew that this was wrong.

It was late at night and Merlin was on watch as Galahad left to speak to a tradesmen about new vehicles. Merlin was ready to close down for the night, when he heard a voice coming from the interrogation room. It was Morgan, slowly jerking around in the chair, mumbling at first then raising her voice. Incoherent and unable to make it out, but he could hear by the tone that it was fear.

"I'm done! I did my job!" she finally screamed.

A sense of relief washed over Merlin, she finally cracked. Quickly he went to the room and opened the door.

There she was, sitting on the chair, shaking and jerking from the chair. Her piercing screams echoed the room, yelling at the wall, not realizing that someone had entered the room. Repeating, "I'm done! I did my job!" tears were streaming down her face, her glasses were on the floor long ago, her wrists and hands were covered in blood, from the handcuffs and the jerking movements. It was enough to make Merlin crack himself.

Rushing to her side to check on her, she jerked her head to him and yelled, "He has no power over me! I am my own and I will kill anyone who takes that away from me!"

Merlin was shocked the least to say but he covered his emotions.

"Morgan, what are you talking about? What job?"

"They were all killed! I saw them with my own eyes!" she said as she sobbed hard.

"Who?"

"You can't find me! I don't exist. I made sure of that."

"What do you mean you don't exist?"

"I killed her!" Morgan said with an hint of a sadistic smile.

"Who did you kill?"

"Me! I killed myself years ago!"

Merlin wasn't sure where she was going with this. It was nonsense, everything she was saying. Trying hard to make sense of it he continued to ask questions.

"You need to be cleared then that, what are you saying? Who did you kill?"

"I know her, but I don't want to remember the name. She was a bad bad girl! He said it himself," she whispered as she saw past him with her eyes wide open. "she needed to be punished."

"Why?" he quietly asked.

Morgan had now remained silent, for a moment. Just enough time for Merlin to see that Morgan was way passed her normal mindset. Staring now at the wall past him in a docile demeanor.

Opening her mouth she quietly said, "Kill me." as she shifted her eyes to him.

Merlin knew that they done more damage to her than they thought. "No. We are getting you out of this room-"

"No! It's the safest place ever!" she said in a delirious tone, "You are been far too kind to me and I will tell you what you need to know if you kill me. You have to promise me."

Something had broke inside her and he could see it in her eyes.

"I will not kill you-"

"But you have to!"

"Why?"

"They're looking for me! They want me!" she whimpered in fear.

"Who wants you?" he yelled at her, his frustration was coming at it's highest point.

Morgan's strength was declining, she felt her body flinch. Delusional and ready to sleep, she started to doze off.

"Morgan." he called to her.

"Victoria!" she jumped up from her her chair.

"Whose Victoria?"

"My last kill." she said with a hiss. "Yes and I will do it again if they take me! So you have to get rid of me, now!"

"We are done with this conversation-"

"If you let me out of theses cuffs and leave me out there, they will find me and I will kill again- do you understand? I don't want to kill anymore!" she screamed at him. Quickly she changed her demeanor and tone, as she smiled and the tears rolled down her face. "You want to know what a hyperthymesia women does on her time off?" she asked in a shaky tone. Merlin listened regardless of how quick she changed her tone and conversation. "She finds things that interest her and when she's interested she will go into detail. I will find everything and anything until I am completely satisfied and I move on to the next."

Merlin had an epiphany, she wasn't the average hacker. She has a photographic memory or as they call it Eidic memory. Realizing why it took her 5 minutes to look at their profiles and get out. She learns by looking at things in a millisecond and it's a visual in her mind. Anyone with a mind and skills like hers would kill to have her.

"You're an asset, not a thief. Who ever was looking for you wanted you bad enough to try and kidnap you." he said as the thought occurred to him.

Nodding her head vigorously, "Yes! Finally you understand!" she shouted with joy, "And now you have to get rid of me. Right now."

"I don't kill anyone unless I have to and you will not die tonight." he growled at her.

"Well then find someone who can!" she yelled at him.

Just then Galahad entered the room, "What the hell is going on here?" he asked Merlin and saw Morgan.

Breathing hard, she smiled at Galahad, "Oh good, you're here to kill me!"

"What?" Galahad was in shock.

"We need to sedate her, now!" Merlin said as he stood up, "She's not in a right state-"

"Her name was Victoria MacNamara!" she said loudly in a singing tone, as both men stopped to look at her, "She killed because they told her to. At first with good intentions, she thought she was saving the world!" she paused and looked at both men, "And there was Jack!" she said with a laughter. Her laughter went from loud to a sob. Quietly whispering to herself, something they couldn't make out, to a point that the wailing started and her breathing had become harsh.

Merlin wasted no time to leave the room to grab a sedative while Galahad watched over her. Listening for any clues or words, but she was mumbling and crying hard. "I hated that stupid name." she told Galahad, "What name?" he asked as he crouched down to her level. "The Genocidal Hacker. I hated that name."

"Who gave you that name?" Galahad asked as he saw her drift in and out, her eyes were closing. The room started spinning and she could not tell who was in the room, everything she felt was coming to a close as she started to doze off but came back as she shook her head, "I think the Picadilly Hacker is better!" Morgan said with a smile as she slowly felt her body go limp, her breathing became shallow. All her energy she used had been depleted causing her to pass out with her body leaning one way, ready to fall off the chair.

Needless to say, Morgan had beaten Merlin to the punch of being sedated, she did it all on her own. "What happened? What did she say?" he asked Galahad as the nurses took her out of the chair and into a gurney. The extent of the damage she had before she arrived and the aftermath of her delirium, was too great and both felt shame. Shame that they carried on this long.

"She said a lot of things, but I don't believe it was any of it was utter bull."

"Why do you say that?"

"Because she stated she had been named something else, before the Picadilly Hacker."

"She said another name, I don't know who or what name to believe." Harry said in disbelief.

"I understand but this was different, she said a name that I haven't heard about years ago." he said as he scratched his head, "I don't know how she would know this name or why even bring it up!" he asked Merlin. "Even in the midst of the breakdown she had some truth to it. I noticed how scared she was when she said it."

"Said what?" Merlin asked.

Harry paused and sighed, it was a long day and it was going to be even longer for Merlin and Harry was reluctant to say the name. But sooner or later Merlin would know, Merlin would hear it. "You know the name because it was the same one that almost took us out in Costa Rica."

"Costa Rica?"

"Yes, when were dismantling the drug cartel and then-"

"It went all wrong because of a faulty missile that went off."

"And you know it wasn't an accident."

Merlins scowled at him and jerked his head back in surprise. How could he not know that name? Of course he knew the name! Merlin had to sit down, taking off his glasses he rubbed his eyes, while shaking his head, "You don't mean to tell me, that-" he paused as he placed his hand on the table then slammed the table. "You mean to tell me we found the Genocidal Hacker?" his tone had raised in anger. This was more than he bargained for.

"I don't know." Harry said in annoyance, "If it is her then that means we have the most dangerous women in the world!"

"You can't mean that that thing is dangerous?" he yelled in disbelief. "How that fuck is that possible?"

"It justifies why they- who ever they are- wanted to kidnap her. They want her for work."

Together sat in the interrogation room in silence. Merlin stood up from his chair and walked over to where she had been sitting for the past 4 days. Crouching down, he picked up her broken glasses and observed the damage.

"If that's the case," he said as he stood up, "she's a danger to us and to everyone. We have no choice, she can't leave here."
