Chad McPherson's Confessional

This last week has been quite eventful for me. The discovery of the Power Rangers is usually something that would make front-page headlines in this town, but it did not this week. The front-page headline was the unusual crash of a local dojo owner's wife, which cost her, her life. That woman was a Power Ranger, but what was the real use of revealing that tidbit to the media? They would have had a hay day and we would be no closer to finding out the true epicenter of Power Ranger activity.

"Chad. Have you see the paper today?" Joshua asked as he walked in and slammed the paper down on Chad's desk. There was a picture of the two of them on the front page, but it didn't particularly worry Chad. He had had pictures of him on the front page before and it just gave the Police Department a good name, for the most part.

"So what? They took a picture of two police officers. It happens all the time when they have nothing else to put on the front page. You really need to get used to Angel Grove Joshua. It's normal and wouldn't you rather it be us than the Power Rangers?" Chad asked as he pushed the paper aside and began looking through the information that Melissa had brought him yesterday.

He had only been able to listen to Kimberly's tape before he left yesterday and although she seemed to think something was up, she definitely did not have any facts that would worry him. He just hoped that all of the other rangers were the same way. All he really wanted was information about their pasts as rangers and if the first tape was any indication they all would be willing to explain their lives.

"Yeah, read the caption. It's more than just two police officers," Joshua said as he held the paper up in front of Chad's face and Chad consented to finally look at it. He did not see why this was so important, Joshua was wasting his valueable time, as he was sure that he would only have a certain amount to investigate the rangers before he pressed charges.

"It just says that we were the first ones to the scene of the crime. Everyone knows that in the department. It's nothing for us to worry about," Chad said, coolly, as Joshua looked over at him. He did not see it that way.

"No, everyone knows about you being there. I had to act like I was just in the area and saw the accident occur. We are going to get fried for this," Joshua said as Chad looked over at him and then walked over to close the door. No one else needed to hear what was said, everyone else was trying to figure out who murdered her, although they didn't know about her being a ranger.

"We won't get in trouble for anything unless the rangers know something and then we'll just have to hush them up as well," Chad said as Joshua glared over at him. They weren't even supposed to do anything to Trini and now they were having to do this entire investigation to keep the rangers calm.

"I'm not doing another thing Chad. You pulled me into this shit when you killed her and then you send me around saying I'm you to try to get you in good graces amongst the rangers. Hell no, I'm not going to be apart of a plan that takes another ranger away from them. They don't deserve to have that happen, no one does," Joshua said as Chad looked over at him, with a hate filled glare. He had considered taking Joshua out, but he had been the only one to come help him so far.

"Fine, but I'm taking you down with me," Chad said as Joshua looked over at him and shrugged. He honestly didn't care if he went down with him, as long as he was still able to help these rangers know what had happened. They deserved to find out the truth of what had happened to their good friend.

"Have fun Chad," Joshua said as he picked up the paper and walked out of the office. He then walked down the hall and to the FBI agent that was waiting in the interrogation room.

"I can't believe one of my own would do this. I thought that it was someone else that had something against the rangers," Captain Myers said as he sank back into his chair.

Joshua had been the inside agent for years and although Chad was sure that he was on his side, he had never been. He had been absolutely shocked that Chad had called him when he killed Trini, but it was the best thing. The investigation knew he had done it, they just needed more information to cement it against him and the rangers had certainly helped.

"It is not a surprise to us, Mr. Myers. We have been monitoring this precinct for the past ten years and this is not the first time a plot against the rangers has been found. This is, unfortunately, the first time that the rangers have been affected. None of the others have been quite as sinister," Agent Diggers said as Captain Myers shook his head. He could not imagine that anyone here would want to harm the rangers. They had saved their lives and those of so many in times past. Why would you want to hurt them? It made no sense to him.

"How did I let this happen?" Captain Myers asked, as he looked over at Agent Diggers. "He requested ranger detail and I assigned it to him. Why didn't that ring an alarm?"

"Everyone around here is interested in the Power Rangers, you know that as well as I do. Some people border on obsessed and others can wish for nothing more than to reveal the rangers. That has been Chad's plan since the beginning and when he found one, he wanted all of them. However, Trini was never going to give all of them up," Joshua said as he sat down in a chair and looked across at Captain Myers. "I didn't suspect he would do anything like this, but I had to keep a close watch on him. When he called me and told me he had killed a ranger, I knew we were in trouble. It just took a little while to get my office in. This was not exactly a thing that any of us saw coming."

"We contacted the psychologist that the rangers used and Joshua was the one to suggest to him that they get some counseling. We know that the rangers have ways of gathering evidence that we can not imagine. We needed to find out what they knew and after reviewing the tapes, they know a great deal already," Agent Diggers said. "It is imperative that we contact the rangers as soon as possible. They need to be brought in for a formal statement and also they need to present evidence if at all possible."

"I'm sure that we can find their numbers somewhere, but do you think that we might want to try to get a confession out of Chad first? If he hears that they are coming in, he might do something else and I don't think we need to let that happen," Captain Myers said as Agent Diggers looked over at Joshua.

"Can you go ahead and contact the rangers and we'll talk to Deputy McPherson?" Agent Diggers asked as Joshua nodded his head yes and then stood to walk out of the office. He had the rangers' names and he was sure that he could find their numbers in the local directory.

"I'll try, but knowing the rangers that might be impossible. It wouldn't surprise me if they took some time away from the rest of the world," Joshua said as he walked out of the office and then went to his desk. He had to pick up some things before he could begin going down the ranger list.

"Deputy McPherson," Captain Myers said as he walked into his office and noticed that he had hastily stashed away something. He just didn't know what he had stashed in his desk.

"Yes Captain," Chad said as he looked up from his desk. He had just stashed away Trini's purse. That was were he had found the full information that led him to call the rangers. He had been sure that Trini was a ranger before, but she was so persistent that nothing be said about it that he had to do something. He couldn't let all of his hard work go to waste.

"We need to talk to you," Captain Myers said as he pushed the door open further to reveal Agent Diggers.

"Sure, Captain," Chad said as he stood up and walked to the door. "Where do you want to talk?"

"I would prefer in here," Agent Diggers said as he offered Chad to sit back down in his seat and then he sat down across from him. "Firstly pull out what you just put in that drawer, before I look through it myself."

"Who are you?" Chad asked as he pulled out a bag and Agent Diggers just shook his head. That was not what he had stowed away and they both knew it.

"I am Agent Diggers from the FBI and that is not the article that you placed in your desk, Deputy McPherson," Agent Diggers said as he gave him a critical gaze and Chad glared at him across the desk. He couldn't prove that and they all knew that. "But since you are going to be stubborn about that piece of evidence, we shall come back to that item later."

"What's this about?" Chad asked as Agent Diggers pulled out a file and passed it across the table. "Trini Scott's case. Why would the FBI be interested in an accidental death of a regular person?"

"Because of who died. She was not an ordinary person and we both know that. Don't try to bull shit me," Agent Diggers said as Chad nodded his head. "You know that the FBI has been interested in the Power Rangers for many years."

"Why would you be interested in the Power Rangers? They have nothing to do with national security," Chad said as Agent Diggers shook his head that he disagreed.

They had to do with not only national security, but international security as well. If one of those monsters had ever been able to truly defeat the Power Rangers, then this entire world would be gone. They deserved a thank you and a quiet life, if that was what they wanted.

"They have everything to do with national security, as well as the security of the world. Their identity is most precious, so it has been brought to my attention that you have discovered the Power Rangers? How was that done?" Agent Diggers asked as Chad let out a sigh. He just wanted to hear about the information that had led up to all of this, not the day that he met Trini. He was going to be all right, somehow.

"Since their appearance in 1993, the Angel Grove Police Department has had a department that's purpose is to investigate and find the Power Rangers. I took the position as head of this department three years ago, during this time we have made the most progress towards identifying the Power Rangers. After the unfortunate accident, we found more evidence that led us to confirm that we know who the six original rangers are," Chad said as Agent Diggers nodded. He wanted to lead him into a false sense of security before he hit him with everything that he knew.

"So that is why you had them go in for counseling?" Agent Diggers asked as Chad nodded his head yes.

"I didn't think it would be appropriate to bring them in for questioning and by getting them to go to a therapist, they could answer some of our questions and get some help for their loss as well," Chad said as Agent Digger again nodded.

"Now, I wish to talk about the characteristics of the crash. There are some very odd things that have been brought to my attention," Agent Diggers said as he pulled out a pad of paper and a pen. He knew that he had to try pick up what he could because there were things that the murderer would know that no one else would.

"From what we were able to find, she suddenly lost control of the car and it crashed into a tree. The impact killed her on contact. When I got to the car she was already gone," Chad said as he noticed that Agent Diggers was scribbling down some notes.

"That is not what happened according to the autopsy report. She was strangled and died before the car ever crashed into the tree, although it was not a long period between the two incidents," Agent Diggers said as Chad looked over at him. He now realized that Agent Diggers knew much more than he was letting on. It also was completely possible that he knew who murdered Trini and he didn't like that idea.

"I haven't had a chance to see the autopsy report, yet," Chad lied as Agent Diggers looked over at him and then handed him a sheet of paper.

"We both know that you are lying there, Chad. The coroner said that you told him to contact you as soon as he determined the cause of death and when he did he said you were not happy. You thought that you wouldn't leave any evidence, didn't you?" Agent Diggers asked as Chad reached over to his desk drawer and opened it. He knew he was as good as found out, but he still wanted to know how they knew he had done it. Anyone could have been in that car with her and more importantly, it could have been a monster that still held a grudge on the Power Rangers.

"Agent Diggers, let's not waste any more of our time and let's just get to the facts of what you do know and more importantly who told you all of it," Chad said as Agent Diggers looked at him and nodded. He thought that if Chad knew he was backed into a corner, then they might as well start laying the cards out on the table.

"You weren't the only one who got a copy of the Power Rangers interviews and some of the rangers came across pretty heavily in their certainty that the Police Department had something to do with Trini's murder. I'm sure that you haven't gotten to those tapes as of yet or you would have killed another ranger," Agent Diggers said as Chad looked at him. How could he know that he had only received the tapes recently and had barely gotten through listening to the first tape?

"How'd you know that I haven't had a chance to listen to all of it?" Chad asked as Agent Diggers gave him a look.

"Do you honestly think that our agency has not had an agent here to look after the Power Rangers affairs? We have been monitoring the activities of various precincts in Angel Grove for years and recently we started monitoring Reefside as well. We thought we were more likely to have problems in Reefside because they have no ranger history. I guess that allowed this to happen," Agent Diggers said as Chad hung his head. The only thing he couldn't figure out was who in the world was the informant here.

"Who is your informant?" Chad asked as Agent Diggers shook his head. That was one thing that he could not answer, no matter what information Chad offered in exchange.

"That is something that you have no need to know. Now, do you want to confess or will I have to pull this out of you the hard way?" Agent Diggers asked as Chad shook his head. He didn't have much of a choice about what he should do and he knew that the rangers would surely seek vengeance on him.

"As long as you promise protection," Chad said as Captain Myers now looked over at him and the over at Agent Diggers. He was not promising Chad a damn thing. He should have thought about what a Power Ranger would do to him before he killed one of their own.

"I don't promise you a thing," Agent Diggers said as Chad looked over at Captain Myers.

"You get what you deserve and if they get to you first, well I feel sorry for you," Captain Myers said as Chad's eyes widened. He had never thought that they would completely give him up to the rangers.

"Don't you see that I did you a service? We now know who the rangers are, we can make them pay for all the damages that have incurred by their fights. We can let this town know that no one can do that and not pay," Chad said as Captain Myers gave him a disgusted look.

"Chad, we're the ones that owe the rangers something, they owe us nothing. We all would be dead if they hadn't saved us," Captain Myers said as Agent Diggers handed him a pen.

"You better start writing. We are contacting the rangers as we speak and they will be coming in to see the person that did this to them," Agent Diggers said as Chad shuddered then began writing everything that he had done. The rangers were going to kill him if given the chance, although it seemed that no one else cared that he was going to die, very soon.

AN: Okay, now you know who did it, but I still have two more chapters for you. One in which all the rangers are getting together and they'll find this out and then one that is Trini's last day. Both are underway and I hope that you will enjoy them. Thank you so much for your support of this story and tell me what you think about it! Toodles!
