The Shopping List of Bad

A/N: Missed me? ready for more... to tell Pam or not to tell Pam?

Enjoy JoxX

Sookie took a deep breath, "Okay, I trust you. But know this; I put the needs of the many before the needs of the few. I will do what it takes if needs be."

"I wouldn't expect anything less,"

"Okay lets do this before I chicken out,"

We emerged from the bedroom Sookie held my hand, "Fuck Eric!" Pam yelled taking a step back.

"Pam, calm down she knows."

"How long have you been fucking her? What do you mean she knows?" she snarled like Sookie wasn't even in the room. I'd be lying to say that I didn't have any doubts right now about telling Pam. Sweating bullets would be an accurate description.

"We have slept together but that's all we did –sleep," Sookie snapped glaring at Pam.

"Pam why don't you sit down. I'll pour you a whiskey," she was gonna need it.

"Fuck, it's eight in the morning it's waaay too early for a drink!"

"Trust me, you're gonna need one," I went off to fetch a drink for Pam and put on some coffee.

"Here," I put the glass in Pam's hand, she was currently staring down Sookie, "Coffee is on."

I sat down in the arm chair Sookie was sitting on the arm off, pulling her into my lap, giving her a hug. "Fuck Eric, I thought I knew you better. How can you have been so stupid?. . .ah shit, well I am not going down for this," Pam took a big gulp out of her glass, wincing.

"Shut the fuck up Pam, just listen to Sookie like your life depends on it," I shot back at her. Sookie told her story, again, Pam opening and closing her mouth like a goldfish, several times. If the situation wasn't so serious I'd taken video and down loaded that sucker to YouTube. So all the guys back at the office could enjoy the Ice Queen struck speechless.

"Why are you dealing with all this? Why aren't the parents?" Pam questioned, it was good question.

"They don't know the half of it. This is a problem that effects the young, it's always been up the young to take care of it. Compton Senior is the only person who we can really go too, he runs a global corporation for Christ sakes! Bill's lucky to get face time, never mind the rest of us. Granddaddy is not always in his right mind. Most of our parents have so many issues, not like they are going to get grandkids, they are so busy pretending everything is so normal, happy. Meanwhile we are becoming an all you can eat buffet for the scum of the world, they all want a piece of us."

"That's why, Chow Nakamora has been seen here in Bon Temps," Pam said. I stiffened at the name, supposed head of the Yakusa.

"Yeah, Bill scared him pretty good, by taking his identity and all his money. He only dropped it after we threatened to 'hack' everything he owned. Alcide kicking his ass also shamed him. We posted it on you tube, under Yakusa smackdown."

"Seabrook's?" I winced at that one; Incestuous brother and sister combo heavily involved human trafficking, drug dealing at the highest levels.

"If you go to the Hamptons rest and recuperation sanctuary, they are in a vegetative state. They couldn't even tell you their names. Amelia mixed them a cocktail, with a hangover they won't wake up from. It's costing the school a fortune to keep them there."

"Stan Davis?"

"Barry Bell, works for him he is two years older than me. In exchange he leaves us alone,"

"Barry what can he do?" Pam asked, draining her glass. I was surprised she wasn't holding it out for more.

"Telepath, but he can't hear thoughts, he can tell you if someone is lying or their emotions behind what they are saying, their mood."

"Useful," Pam looked thoughtful, "Who else?"

"You know Victor madden, then there's Jackson Warehouse consortium, Em... Hot Rain from Indianapolis, he's small time he sent a representative he made the mistake of asking too many questions in the Merlottes Bar and Grill in town, parents took care of him. Could be under the eighteenth hole at the country club for all I know, then been a host of others all small time, not really knowing what they are looking at," Sookie sighed, looking world weary and who could blame her? Fuck she had dealt with some of the worst international criminals in the west and east put together.

"I see," Pam looked like a disapproving school ma'am.

"Do you see? Do you really see? We never asked for any of this. We are just trying to protect our self's. I am worth millions on the black market, more probably if you cut me up selling bits of me. Who knows what a finger would go for, my whole hand? Who do we turn to? Who can help us, so if not us then who? You just point me in the direction. I am sooo tired of this, since I been fourteen I have been the schools guardian. They just keep coming, the next one usually worse than the last one, my last school principle gave his life for me, gun downed in front of me he used himself as a shield," huge salty tears fell from Sookie's eye's, she wiped them away they seemed to annoy her more than anything.

"Eric your girl is leaking," Pam shifted uncomfortably. Pam can't stand crying, her last girlfriend lasted longer than the rest as she kept pulling out the tears, Pam couldn't finish with her when she was crying, eventually I sent an email from Pams email address just to do the damn job for her.

I held Sookie tighter, tucking her head under my chin. I caught Pam's eye with my own, my eyes pleading with her.

"Sookie, I am sorry that was uncalled for. . . Just one more question?"

"Okay," Sookie sniffed nodding her head.

"We had an agent with De Castro, who combusted leaving only his shoes, who did that?"

Sookie stiffened in my lap, then her head turned up, she blinked looking at Pam, "How long ago was this?"

"Four years," Pam levelled her with her most penetrating gaze.

"The human body has all the chemicals needed to burn at very high temperatures, but to weaponize it. It wasn't us, are you sure it was De Castro?"

"Yes, he worked for him, but he was one of ours, a spook."

"Son of a Bitch," Sookie screamed, jumping up from my lap. "Fuck," she put her hands into her hair.

"Sookie what is it?" I asked, scooting to the edge of the seat.

"Oh God I've been so stupid," she closed her eye's and seemed to compose herself.

"Sookie?"

"Hunter went missing four years ago. I am so stupid urgh!" she was rubbing her head, hitting it with the heel of her hand.

"Sookie?" I said again, "You mind sharing with the class?"

"De Castro has Hunter, thats my cousins boy or had him. Oh God I thought Dermot had just contacted him but they must have been working on it for ages, which means Victor Madden has this tech. I'd put money on it that Victor or De Castro himself ordered the agent to be killed."

"That still doesn't explain how, they knew about him he was one of our best operatives or why we can't get any agents past the fourth interview for either Brigant or De Castro," Pam said.

"I screen all the employee's at the fourth interview at Sky, I am a telepath," Sookie sank to her knees and began sobbing, "Oh God," she cried, hugging herself like she was in pain.

I crouched down beside her, "Please Sookie, we want to help," I said softly.

"Hunter... he's a telepath...like me...there using him, he'll have just turned five, I only been in contact with De Castro for six months," she took a ragged breath, "they have been using him all this time, I didn't know, I...I didn't know," massive tears spill out of her blue eye.

"Oh Shit," I gasped.

"Pardon me, but he's just a kid how could a one year old have helped or even communicated effectively. He would have only been one four years ago."

I rocked Sookie, rubbing her back, "Hunter said his first word at eight weeks old, by one he spoke two languages he was the only one like me. . .he had a double dose. You see Hunter was special the only child to have been born with two Supe parents. The Nanites should have aborted the child, as the two different ones had both bonded to their host's, Hadley and Remy making them unable to work together but Hunter was a miracle, a one in a trillion. He had both his parents Nanite's as well as the biological components to what makes us, this. Niall said that he had the Alpha-Omega factor."

"Alpha- Omega factor, what is that?" Pam asked.

"Niall became very spiritual after everything went down, he said he had found the science of God. He believes Science and God are one and the same, on separate roads going in the same direction converging on a singular point. He call's that point Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the everything. He believes Hadley's and Remy's love transcended the programming in the Nanites, forcing a change on them that bent the laws of physics and Hunter was born. He said this was proof that God existed, because he is love."

"Do you believe that?" I asked her.

"I don't know what I believe; all I know is if you believe something with everything that makes you, you, the laws of physics cease to exist."
