AN: Short one...hope you likey...from the POV of Rai...
Chapter 13
While Bobby and Alex were having their..."discussion," Henry and Rai were fielding questions from Logan, Barek, John Eames, and Deakins.
"Why were you involved in this? And how did you know that Goren and Eames were in danger?"
"I'm a federal agent and..."
"Wait, aren't you too young to be an agent?" That was Logan.
"She is too young, but she's part of a special, top secret program for foster teenagers from the ages of 15-17 to be part of the F.B.I. Only the most promising teenagers are brought in so that we don't lose their potential, and we train them. Once they are of age, they can either go to college and then join the F.B.I., or go to college and sever all ties with the bureau and never mention their time with it again. If they choose to join the military, they can go into it and when they get out, they'll have a job with the bureau. It's a nice program, even if we're still in the development stage."
"I'm a prototype!" And this was met with silence as the people tried to pick their jaws up off the floor.
"How may of these kids are there?"
"Two."
"Huh." Huh was the general consensus of the room, seeing that it wasn't everyday you were told that a teenager could become a fed.
"How many are you planning to have in the program?" The question was asked by Deakins and fielded by Henry.
"We plan to have three for each year."
"Soo..." That was Logan.
"So in total nine once the program is up and running. Three the first year, six the next year, three exposed teenagers and three novices, and nine from the third year on, always having three veterans, three exposed teenagers, and three novices in rotation."
"Wow."
"Back to my question, how did you know Goren and Eames were in danger?"
"I was approached about three weeks before Goren 'died' by a man. He said that some dude had just approached him with this big plan to take out two cops. I passed the message onto Henry, who passed it on from there. The next thing I know, we're watching you guy's every move, specifically Goren and Eames, learning their mannerisms, their schedules, and their personal lives. We saw Eddie verbally harassing Eames, and Goren drinking himself into a stupor every night. So we decided that every night, Henry would be watching Goren and telling me where he was going so I could go to where he went. For the nights leading up to the 'jump,' he came to the bridge. One night, I was late in getting to the bridge, and I found him standing on the other side of the rail. Luckily for all of us, he came back to this side and called me over. I said he jumped off the bridge because he told me too, and from then on, we were in business."
"So you guys saw this coming and failed to warn us?" That was Deakins speaking up.
"The F.B.I. has had their eye on Eddie Willits for a while. We weren't notified of this until Henry reported that it was a possibility that he was a strong suspect in the note that was left for Eames. They had been looking for him for a long time because he slipped off their radar and he was wanted for some pretty heinous crimes."
"Bobby was drinking himself into a stupor...does that mean he was drunk when he tried to go over the bridge?" That was Mr. Eames.
"No. He didn't have a drop of alcohol in his system that night. He was completely sober."
"We basically were living underneath a microscope for the past three weeks and a couple of days?"
"More or less. The means to get here wasn't exactly how we wanted it to go, but the outcome was better than we expected." I cringed at his words. Stupid Henry.
"What do you mean the outcome was better than we expected?" All of the looked livid at Henry. I spoke up.
"Eddie is known for slipping through the fingers of the F.B.I." All the heads swung to look at me. "The last time we had a run in with Mr. Willits, all the agents who were there were either seriously injured or killed. The time before, he injured both the agents on the scene and the civilians in the surrounding areas. We were seriously lucky considering the past of this man."
"So what happens now?" Nods started around the circle of people.
"Now we wait, and hope Bobby doesn't get killed by Alex." And we all looked at the door that separated them from the two.
AN:Next is Eames and Bobby...may take awhile...may be some shippyness...be fore warned...review please?
