Chapter 8
Three days after contact with Eleanor became known to the BAU everyone involved the investigation except Morgan and Prentiss was gathered around a round table. Aaron Hotchner held a file folder in his hand. "Good morning everyone, I am glad that you all have come." He greeted.
"What is this meeting all about any?" Colonel Mustard asked a little ticked off.
"Someone sitting in this round table is leaking information to the culprits to the murderers." Rossi said as everyone around the table looked at each other in disbelief.
"Do you know who it is yet?" Adrian asked a little paranoid.
"We have narrowed down the suspect pool to three people: Adrian, Agent Simon, and Commander Calhoun."
"You really think Calhoun may have had a hand in betraying the country?" Mustard shouted.
"Possibly that's why we are going to 'interview' each of the three name's we listed to find out." Hotch said as he waved the three over.
"Listen I didn't tell anyone anything." Adrian said a little too defensively.
"Well, that's the point of this 'interview' and while I am doing this with you." Rossi said patting Adrian on the shoulder, making him cringe.
"Calhoun I will be 'interviewing' you." Hotch said.
"So that means I will be interviewed by the twig." Agent Simon said pointing to Reid, almost laughing.
"Yes sir I will be." Reid said in a mixture of both nervousness and fear.
Agent Simon just chuckled to himself and snickered. "Ok let's get this over with."
Back in Vermont Eleanor, Prentis, and Morgan are sitting at Eleanor's dinner table drinking coffee. Eleanor's grand children were picked up by their parents.
"So what happens now?" Eleanor asked.
"Now we wait, until the splicers are taken down, and we'll know who orchestrated the attacks and get the splicers." Morgan stated while sipping on his cup of coffee.
Prentiss sitting in her chair was looking at Eleanor with a bunch of questions going through her mind. Eleanor could tell that Prentiss wanted to ask some questions, but didn't want to be rude. "I can tell you want to ask some more questions Agent Prentiss, and since we really don't have anything better to do, you can go ahead and ask." Eleanor said.
"What was Rapture like?" Prentiss asked "Being born under the sea, I've been to pretty much everywhere in the world, but nowhere that was once considered impossible."
Eleanor gave a tiny smile, "When I was little, it was like a dream, I snuck away from my mother to play with other children. Dreaming of what the surface was like and the sun." All of a sudden Eleanor's smile faded. "After my mother was put in prison by Andrew Ryan, I was later sold to an orphanage and turned into a little sister after a scientist came for me."
"During my time as a little sister, I was mentally conditioned to collect ADAM from dead bodies."
"How did they get little girls to collect ADAM from corpses?" Prentiss asked knowing how the little girls collected ADAM.
"The scientists had mentally conditioned the little sisters so that corpses are more pleasing to them." Eleanor explained. "Mother found a way to remove the mental conditioning; however there is nothing that can be done about the slug in my stomach that produces the ADAM inside me."
Back at the secret base inside one of the interrogation rooms Dr. Reid began his interview with Agent Simon.
"Do you really think that I could harm innocent civilians? For what reason would I have to betray my country?" Agent Simon asked.
"You tell me." Reid said bluntly.
"Listen, Adrian should be the one being investigated before I had to drag him along he was a drug addicted scamming civilians," Simon yelled, "I was only dumb luck that saved him."
In another interrogation room Commander Calhoun was being asked questions by Agent Hotchner. "It seems that you have been working to keep Rapture a secret and will be on forced retirement in 3 months." Hotch stated.
"I am reminded every day." Calhoun said begrudgingly.
"You must have sacrificed a lot in order to keep Rapture a secreat."
"My wife left and took the kids with her in 1987 when there was a possibility of the secret being leaked."
"Taking any ADAM would seem to make your time here worthwhile."
A fist slammed on the table to reveal the angry face of Calhoun. "Do you know what that stuff does to people, I've seen the pictures of splicers and it would not benefit me one bit."
Meanwhile, somewhere in the woods of Vermont the gang of splicers were talking amongst themselves.
"We have the address of Eleanor Lamb." The Spider splicer said.
"Alright then, tomorrow night we attack, and finally obtain the Adam we need." The Brute Splicer said.
