A.N: Hi guys, thank you so much for the great responses, the overwhelming decision seems to be Thresdon's thoughts whilst with Lana in the basement. I am also going to do a short chapter of the events of Briarcliff while he is away that will involve Eva. I shall also have a chapter consisting of a series of monologues for Thredson. Hope you enjoy this chapter.

Please review


Chapter 6

'All things truly wicked start from innocence' - Ernest Hemingway. Eva knew this too be true, she had seen it so many times before at her previous workplace. Young women who looked like the couldn't hurt a fly, crushed rose lipstick and hair lightly curled, anything would melt in their mouths. Though it always turned out they committed some of the worst crimes. Black windows, money laundering, theft, involved in drug smuggling, stalking. Everyone has a face, a persona they hide behind, you just need to dig deep to find the raw truth.

This was her thought process, carrying her clipboard as she walked down the stairway, Eva saw the little girl sat on one of the waiting chairs. Alone. 'This is no place for a sinless little girl.' Was her first reaction, but she gently reminded herself of the quote and approached the child with her professionalism and caution.

"Hi Sweetie, are you ok?" Eva said, sugar-coating her voice and taking the seat beside her. She wore a dull orange coat, knee-high socks and her hair perfectly braided in pigtails that ended just above her waist. She was the epitome of innocence.

"Yes, my mother is upstairs." Her voice was cold, monotone and she spoke in disjointed sentences.

"What's your name?"

"Jenny."

"That's a very pretty name. My name is Eva, I'm a doctor here."

"They are going to lock me up."

"Why do you say that Jenny?"

"They think i killed the girl i played with. She's scared of me."

"Ok Jenny. How about i talk to your mother and we can get all of this sorted out ok?"

"Ok." Jenny replied continuing to read her fun times colouring book.

Eva smiled at the girl, though there was something unsettling about her.

"Mary, could you look after Jenny for me a moment please." She said to one of the nuns.

"Of course."

Eva made her way up to Sister Jude's office, and politely knocked on the door.

"Sister Jude, I'm sorry to disturb you but there is a little girl downstairs who said her mother was here."

A woman got up from the her seat and rushed towards Eva.

"Oh that's me, please you have to help my little girl, I think she is evil."

"Mame calm down and take a seat." The woman sat back down. "What makes you believe your daughter is evil?"

The woman went on to explain about the friend who was found with scissors in her back, the mysterious bearded man in a brown coat and the lock of hair she found in Jenny's pocket.

"Mrs Reynolds from what you have told me, Jenny is in need of some psychological help." Eva nodded.

"But as i explained before to you, we do not have a children's ward at this facility." Jude added.

"Indeed. May i recommend you take her to a former colleague of mine Dr Andrew Parker, a child psychologist, who I'm sure would be very willing to help. I can give you his practice address if you wish. I'm sorry we couldn't be of more use."

"Oh. Thank you that is most kind."

Eva wrote down the address for her on a slip of paper and showed her back to the staircase where Jenny was sat at the bottom.


An hour or so later, Eva made her way through to solitary to check on the patients. Although completely against the idea of solitary confinement, she felt it best that she gave the patients a little human contact so they didn't deteriorate even more.

"I told your mother we don't have a children's ward here." Eva heard Jude say as she passed her office. Pausing she took a few steps back and peered in. Jenny was stood in front of her.

"Jenny, what are you doing here?" Eva asked entering the room.

"Where is she?" Jude asked in reference to her mother.

"She's gone." Jenny replied coldly. "She kissed me on the cheek, and said, 'be good Jenny'."

"Sister, I'll try to get in contact Mrs Reynolds. I would keep Jenny in my company but I'm afraid i have to make a trip to solitary perhaps Sister Mary Eunice would take her?"

"For once Dr Sparrow we are thinking the same thing." Jude smiled, "Sister Mary Eunice! I need help here!"


It wasn't until a day later that Eva saw the newspaper reports. 'Little girl watches her family being butchered by murderer. A mother and her two children were found dead yesterday afternoon in Holman woods. The mother and her 3 children were enjoying a picnic when a tall, bearded man in a brown jacket slashed the throats of the son and one of the daughters. He then repeatedly stabbed the mother in the back. The remaining little girl tried watched him butcher her family as he threatened to kill her too if she moved. The brave surviving daughter named Jenny…"
