V for Vendetta

Chapter 14

"Riker's Hill"

12:00pm Vincent Lemer's house

Booth was hoping to find out why V had killed Vincent Lemer it was the only way to get a clue to where he could find Brennan. So he went to see Vincent Lemer's wife Carol to ask some questions. He knocked on the door and Carol Lemer opened the door, then Booth took out his badge to show Mrs. Lemer.

"Hello Mrs. Lemer, I'm Director Booth of the FBI, I am investigating your husbands death."

"But I thought Commander Lenor was investigating my husband's death.'

"Well, Commander Lenor is busy trying to find the terrorist who killed your husband, he wanted me to ask you a few question if you don't mind." Booth lied.

"If it helps finding my husbands killer then yes, you can, please come in." she said as she let Booth enter into her home.

They entered into the living room and Booth sat on the couch and Mrs. Lemer sat on the recliner. Before he started questioning he had to go through with formalities, even though he didn't like her husband he was still a victim and Mrs. Lemer was suffering so Booth had to give his sincere condolences as he said to Mrs. Lemer,

"I'm sorry Mrs. Lemer about your husband."

"Thank you Director Booth, but I can tell you weren't very fond of him like many others. It is just I can't see someone who hated him enough to kill him." Mrs. Lemer replied trying to hold back the tears.

Booth sighed as he said, "I know Mrs. Lemer and I can't imagine how hard this is for you, but I promise to do whatever it takes to catch your husband's killer."

Mrs. Lemer grabbed a tissue from her coffee table and wiped her eyes as she said, "Thank you,

"Ahh, yes." Booth said, He got in mini notepad and pen out and asked his first question, " Did you and your husband have any problems?"

"Yes every married couple has problems, but not big enough to kill my husband over, I loved him, and I couldn't leave him, not after everything he has been through."

"What do you mean by that?" Booth asked,

"Director Booth, my husband wasn't always outspoken or mean as people perceived him to be, I knew the real him and before he became this "Voice of America" he was a Kind, sweet, funny man that everyone loved, Then he was drafted as a Lieutenant in the war in Iraq. After we lost the war he came home nearly broken into two. Then once this new government was formed he was transferred to help commander Lenor, at Riker's hill."

Booth wrote Riker's hill in his notebook, as he said, "Riker's hill isn't that the detention centre that was burned to the ground several years back."

"Yes, When he came home after the fire, he didn't say anything nor tell me anything of what happened. He just kept to himself about Riker's hill he never told me what really happened to him." Mrs. Lemer began to cry again as she grabed another tissue.

"I am sorry, Mrs. Lemer but is there any way your husband had files or any documentation about Riker's hill." Booth said.

Mrs. Lemer was wiping her eyes as she sniffled, "I don't know maybe, he always kept a journal of his adventures in the army, he wanted to write a book, but if I find anything I will let you know."

"Thank you, Mrs. Lemer that is all information I need for now, Thank you for your corporation and I promise to bring your husband's murder to justice." Booth told her.

Mrs. Lemer grabbed Booth's hand as she said, "Thank you, but if you don't at least find out why my husband was will killed."

"I will" Booth said.

Patting her hand Booth got up and left the Lemer household. He had to find out what happened at Riker's hill he knew this clue was bringing him one step closer to the Truth about this V character and getting him closer to bringing Brennan back into his arms.
