~Chapter 7~
~Juliletta's Pov~
I hit the metal door with my stick and it opened up. I walked in and took in my surroundings.
Me: Boss?
Boss: I'm right here Juliet. Just sit at your usual seat ok?
Me: Alright.
So I did. I heard two heartbeats in the room so I figured Dr. Toth was inside with us. I had to be my nice and polite self. Which is my outer shell.
Me: Good afternoon Dr. Toth.
Toth: Afternoon Constable Callaghan.
Me: Shall we get started. If you would be so kind.
Toth: Alright then. We are just going to hook you up to a polygraph.
Me: A polygraph? What kind? The new models or old school?
Toth: Old school. But this one works just fine. Would you mind taking off your glasses?
Me: Are you sure my eyes won't bother you sir?
Toth: Not at all. Please?
So I did and the boss hooked me up to the polygraph. I know how to pass these things no problem.
Toth: Alright lets start off something simple. As a baseline tell me three truths and a lie in that order.
Me: My name is Julietta Callaghan. I am a twin. I'm blind. And I like Cocconut Creame`Pie.
Toth: Good. Thank you Julietta. Mind if I call you Julie or Juliet?
Me: Not at all sir.
Toth: Scarlatti was right. She is a sweetheart.
Boss: She is. She always follows orders and never does anything wrong.
Toth: I see. I've read her record and it is completely spotless. Nice work.
Me: Thank you sir.
Toth: You know what's next right?
Me: Yes.
Toth: Sky.
Me: Above.
Toth: Rain.
Me: Sky's tears.
Toth: Best friends.
Me: Greatest friends of all.
Toth: Teamwork.
Me: Groups' Trust.
Toth: Michaelangelo Scarlatti.
Me: Best Friend.
Toth: Lou Young.
Me: Big brother.
Toth: Lets talk about him for a minute.
I felt bad a little.
Toth: According to Scarlatti you two were practically brother and sister right?
Me: That's right. On our days off he taught me how to play basketball, baseball, and hockey dispite my disability. He takes me to games at times and got me autographed jerseys from every player and every jersey number.
Toth: Critical Incident 11.13.07 when Officer Young had his last call. When he asked for you for company he told you to turn off your radio.
Me: That conversation was private sir. If I told you what he said to me it would dishonor my honesty towords him.
Toth: Alright then. When Officer Scarlatti came to your house to morn did you morn too?
Me: Of course I did sir. We missed him and still do to this day.
Toth: Understandable. So in your opinion what is your relationship on the team?
Me: We act like a S.W.A.T. team but we get along like a family since we see each other almost everyday.
Toth: New recriut Lia.
Me: She's like another sister to me.
Toth: Wordsworth?
Me: The uncle.
Toth: Ed Lane and Sargent Parker.
Me: Father figures. The fathers I never had.
Toth: And we know Lou as the big brother and Jules as your real big sister. So what is Scarlatti.
Me: Best friend that lives next door.
Toth: Why such a big connection?
Me: We met before SRU. We were in the academy together. When my sister was going to the academy in our hometown she helped me find an academy that would accept me dispite my disability. We met at training. He helped me out with the things I couldn't normally do. We got to know each other and became friends. Then best of friends. We came in SRU together and promised each other no matter what happens that we would always support each other.
Toth: So if you two always been best friends you two shouldn't have many fights.
Me: We have our disputes at times but not a lot.
Toth: Did your fights ever...get physcial?
Me: Why are you asking?
Toth: Why aren't you answering my question? I understand that he is a friend and don't want him in trouble but has he?
I just sat there and my heart skipped a beat.
Toth: Ah. There it is. Finally a reaction. For a while I thought you were a robot. He did didn't he.
I heard him take out something and pressed a button.
Me: What did you just do?
Toth: Relax. I just pulled up some photos.
Me: Photos of what?
Toth: You being abused but an SRU officer.
Boss: Doc that's not what happened.
Toth: I know what happened. And you didn't report it. Do you know what this is? This is abuse and crime against a federal officer.
Me: How did you get those photos?
Toth: That's beside the point.
Only one person had those photos. So I turned to the boss.
Me: Boss how did he get those photos?
Boss: I have no idea.
Toth: When you had the hot call for when the subject used Sagent Parker's phone we ran it through our techs and came across these photos.
Me: How do you know it was Spike?
Toth: We checked them for prints on the photo and ran it through our database and Scarlatti's matched. So tell me what happened?
Me: First of all it wasn't abuse. It was an accident. He was just worked up about losing Lou.
Toth: That's not all is it. You moved on faster and made good friends with his replacement so he tried to get you back to your senses. He grabbed you too tight and shook and yelled at you. Then he threw you to the ground and left right?
Me: How do you know that much detail? Boss you told him?
Boss: I had no choice it was for your own good.
Me: My own good? Maybe your own good. That was suppose to stay between us and Team 1. But no. Now I can't trust you. I'm sorry boys but I have to go. I grabbed my stuff and ran out the room crying. I didn't know where I was going so I just ran to a random room and locked myself in it.
~Ed's Pov~
After a while when Sam and Jules were done I just got word that Sophie had just gone into labour. I wanted to leave but couldn't because of the Commander. He said I was going to be out of here by an hour. We just finished the field tests when Greg came out the briefing room.
Greg: Guys have you seen Juliet?
Me: What no?
Jules: She never came outside to cheer us on.
Sam: Is something wrong?
Greg: Toth made her cry during her evaluation.
Spike: What?! That takes a lot to do that. What did he do?
Greg: He... made her talk about what happened between you two back when you were mad at her. When you...hurt her.
Spike: What?! Let me at him.
Jules and I held him back when he began to move.
Greg: He made her think it was abuse. But she knows it wasn't.
He tried harder but we held him back.
Me: How?
Greg: They scanned my phone after one mission and found the photos even thou I deleted them. They scanned the photo and found prints and found Spike's.
Wordy: Oh that's it. Its go time.
Me: After we find her.
Greg: According to Winnie she never left the building so she's still here.
Me: Team 1 lets move.
Greg: Ed you can't. You're next.
I sighed.
Me: All right and I will have a talk with Toth about hurting Juliet. Right now you need to find her.
Jules: Copy. Lets move. So they moved out as greg and I went to the briefing room.
~Spike's Pov~
I searched high and low until when I went across the weight room I heard a faint crying from the closet. I went inside and tried to open the door but it was locked. So I knocked.
Me: Juliet you in there?
Juliet: Yeah.
Me: Can you unlock the door and come out.
So she did. She came into my arms and we sat on the floor. Well I was on the floor. She sat in my lap.
Me: Come on Juliet. Why are you crying? Was it what Toth said?
Juliet: Part of it. Most of it was that the boss told him.
Me: What? He didn't tell us that.
Juliet: Makes me wonder why Greg asked for an outsider to come. Why him?
Me: Juliet I don't know. Right now you've been hurt so you just go ahead and cry alright?
She did for a little while and then she fell asleep. I smiled knowing she finally calmed down. I told the team she was with me. I held her in my arms and layed her on the small couch in here. I left her there for a few minutes so I can change and Juliet had her vest off already so she was fine. When I came back I was about to take her home when the alarm woke her up. Turns out Ed was shot and we got called to go. But Toth was going to be listening. So we left out to find this guy.
Later on we did find him and Ed made it ok. And so did Sophie and their new baby girl Isabelle. She was such a cute little thing. I remember that Juliet always wanted to be a mother. She loves children. After what happened here today I realized that life is short. I have to tell her. But not now. I want the timing and place to be perfect. But I need help. And I know just who to talk to.
