"Ladies, so sad to have to see you two like this but I'm so glad you're here. We have a lot to discuss. Why don't you come follow me and we can get you two comfortable and out of those cuffs." Stahl said to the women sitting in the holding cell at the station. On their walk through they saw Clay walking in escorted by Hale with clear anger on his face, "What did you two do?! Like I don't have enough to deal with and you two go and pull this shit!" Clay bellowed across the lobby causing Hale to step in front of him so he didn't go after the women. His anger just fueled Gemma's anger, she whips around to scream back at him, "You should have thought about that before you brought home that rancid pussy!" Bliss gives him a nasty look before following Stahl and Gemma into the next room. "Wow. Is that your relationship with that guy?" She lets out an exaggerated sigh, "I think I would end it hunny." Gemma gives her a look that would make most people cower but not the agent, no she actually gave her a little smile before turning towards the youngest woman in the room. "I hear you have a special someone in your life. Oh to be young and in love, however, I'm surprised daddy dearest lets you fuck a Mayan," she looks down into her folder, "Angel is it? Quite a bit older than you; chasing the daddy that ran out on you?" Bliss is unfazed, just looking at the federal agent blankly as if she has better things to do then sit here. Gemma was starting to get annoyed with all the talk, "Why don't you just talk to us and get it over with already?" Stahl looked at her with a smirk, "Oh I'm not gonna waste my breath talking to you," she glances over at Bliss, "you however, we are gonna have a nice long chat." The girl opened her mouth for the first time, "I'm a minor, you can't just talk to me." Stahl gives an amused smile, "Don't worry your fathers in the room waiting to join us. Lets go catch him up on the last seven years of hell for you and your brother shall we?"
The two ladies sit at the interrogation table while Happy leans against the wall glaring holes into Stahl thinking of thousands of ways to kill her. Stahl opens her folder out in front of her before giving a happy sigh, turning towards Hap, "So good to see you again, must be weird to not be sitting in her seat for you," she turns back towards Bliss who has tensed slightly more since they walked into the room, "do you wanna tell daddy what that mean lady did to you?" Bliss stares off into the distance, more looking through the agent than actually at her, "No? That's ok, I'll tell him all about it."
"Hmm where should I start...Age twelve, Bliss and Mason came on our radar when they were caught in a bar that the FBI had been watching for awhile." She glances at Happy, "Pedophiles and such, you know how it is right?" Happy grinds his teeth but doesn't say anything. Stahl feels triumph swell inside her as she continues looking straight at Bliss, "You both looked like you were starving, but you wouldn't let us help you. Then your mother showed up, oh lord your mother, what a mess she is. Claims you guys ran from her and ended up there. Since you both agreed with her we couldn't do anything, Then we saw you again at thirteen, a neighbor called the cops to do a home check because there were many "unsavory visitors", I believe that's how she put it and when authorities showed up your brother and you were filthy, clearly malnourished. You both looked like hell but they didn't care too much about Mason did they Bliss?" Hap looks over to his daughter who looks uncomfortable for the first time during this questioning. She visibly shifts a little in her seat and breaks eye contact with the fed, bowing her head over her hands on the table. Stahl notices this small act of discomfort with a smile before continuing, "You were beaten pretty good, several handprints all over your body, far too big to be from your mother. So the cops took you in and questioned you." Stahl sighs as she shifts through her papers clearly looking for something, then tosses picture after picture on the table.
Hap moves closer to see a hollow looking Bliss staring through the photo into his soul. Bruises littered her back and torso in the first couple photos he saw, some looked like handprints while others were clear marks of being slashed by a whip. The next series of photos were of her hands and ankles, you could see her wrists were raw from being bound by rope, chain, cuffs who knows maybe all of them at one point, her ankles not looking much better. Hap felt a wave of nausea hit him as he looked down at the final photo. His girl, his sweet girl, had hand marks around her throat, a black eye and a busted lip that looked like it hadn't healed from the first time. She looked dead, or rather that she was so close to death's door and just waiting for it to finally take her. He glanced over to Bliss and she visibly sunk more into herself, he couldn't take it. This wasn't the ten year old girl he last saw, she was full of life, happy and so excited for life. The one in the photo was waiting to die and looking forward to it.
Hap couldn't take it anymore and went for the door to leave, he couldn't stay in that room and not kill someone for doing this to his kids. "I wouldn't leave just yet, you're going to miss the best part of the story. We staked the house and saw one of the suspects there, probably for his weekly visits, and arrested him. We had some evidence but to really put him away all Bliss needed to do was admit he and maybe others did this to her," she looked over at the girl who seemed to have shrunken even more into herself if that was possible, "but she wouldn't. A big waste of everyone's time. He walked away; no punishment at all." Stahl sighs and shakes her head before closing her folder after pulling one last photo out and stares at it. "Two years later we get a report of a young mom, fifteen, who was forced to give up her child because they believed the new mom's mother sold it before it was born." She throws the picture on the table and lets it slide to Bliss, it was a picture of a two year old boy happily smiling with his toy truck under one arm and his dog on his other side. Hap steps towards the table snatching the photo up. "What the fuck is this?" Stahl gives her a sly smile before nodding towards Bliss, "Her son"
