Chapter 18: Chapter 18 - FBI Agents
The following day unknown individuals arrived in the small town of Puente Antiguo, stopping by the station in a black van. From it two people stepped out— one was a male who seemed to be in his early 30s while the other was a female that seemed similar in age.
As they entered the police station they naturally drew the attention of the receptionist as they were dressed in black suits, making them easily stand out from the casual wear of people in town.
Not only that, they weren't from the town to begin with, which she noticed right away due to being familiar with almost everyone here.
However, she did her job and waited for them to approach the desk, however before she could speak and say anything, the male of the group did first.
"Morning, I'm Agent Miguel and this is Agent Frea— we are FBI Agents that have been sent to check out a recent report made about a girl believed to be connected to a trafficking case. As this is related to a case of our own, we would like to speak to the officer in charge here."
His words were very direct and left no room for the woman to interject until he had finished— he even took out his badge and showed her their FBI credentials to prove he was in fact as he claimed.
She didn't know how to reply, and it was a good thing she didn't need to— as when he finished speaking she told him to wait one moment and just called the sheriff to deal with this.
It was his job after all.
And with this, in less than 10 minutes the man had arrived at the station from his home— once again having to rush due to an incident at the station.
Recently this has become far too common.
But as he entered he noticed the two individuals sitting in the waiting area— approaching them he greeted them.
"Hello, I am the sheriff of this town, and the one in charge of the girl's case, please follow me to my office."
He said— and as such, they moved from the lobby into the man's office, with all three of them taking a seat to speak.
Miguel was the first to speak as he explained the situation to the man the best he could without giving away their case information.
"Recently the FBI has been following a case that has to do with the kidnapping and trafficking of young individuals and we believe that this girl may be involved with the case— as such, we would like to speak to her to learn more."
He wasn't asking for much— they simply needed to speak to the girl in order to have a basic understanding of what had happened to her. This way they could tell if this was in fact related to their case or not.
"I've already written all the girl was able to remember in the report, she currently can't remember much and I don't think she's in the right state to speak to people right now."
The Sherif explained as he didn't feel right making a girl that had just been through such trauma speak to even more people related to it.
Yet— he couldn't be too direct about this either as they were FBI Agents and he was a mere Sherif, there was a certain level of pressure from their power he couldn't overlook.
"There is no need to worry, we simply wish to speak to her in order to confirm if what she said is true, we have means of doing this that you do not."
Spoke the female of the two— after having not said anything this entire time.
No matter how much the man tried to wiggle his way out of this situation they kept pushing— until eventually, he had to just give in and bring them to the hospital where the girl stayed.
The girl in question had been resting since the night before and had only just woken up. While she didn't need a lot of sleep— her body was still rather new currently and she had to rest every so often to rebuild lost energy.
So when she woke up to the two people entering her room— two people she didn't know— she was confused.
They introduced themselves as FBI Agents to the girl and that instantly made her realize that her plan had gone off-trail and something unexpected had happened.
She didn't plan for the FBI to get involved— she didn't even plan for the government to care— but it seemed something outside of her expectations had happened.
It was still fine though, she didn't have to worry too much as long as she stuck to her story, everything would be alright.
"Please try to answer all of our questions truthfully, it would really help our investigation into this matter."
Spoke the male as he took a seat to the side, however, it was the female that took the seat in front of her and was going to do all the questioning.
She found this odd given the fact that the man had done all the speaking so far— but she paid it no mind.
"Firstly, What is your name?"
She thought about just telling them her real name since it wouldn't matter, but then she decided against it in case something happened later down the line.
Instead, she decided to make up a name, Lily Garcia would be her fake name from now on.
"I can't remember my entire name, but i remember being called Lily often."
This was true, she was often called Lily in her last life by friends so she didn't even need to lie about this fact.
Chapter 19: Chapter 19 - Questioning
The female nodded her head at the girl's reply and then asked another question.
"Where are you from?"
The girl pretended to be thinking for a second, as if deep in thought, before replying to the question.
"I can't remember, it's hazy."
She said with a downcasted look— her face portraying the false sense of loss that she wanted them to see.
The female agent frowned her brows at this reply but didn't do much else— instead, she moved on to other questions.
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I can't remember, I just remember waking up in a room before escaping somehow. I can't remember how I did that, it's all so blurry and-"
She couldn't finish her sentence as she looked down and pretended to be sad— after all, she was just a child, shedding a few tears would put the act together.
"Alright alright, there is no reason to cry. We are here to help figure this out with you, so just help us ok?"
Said the male of the two agents, while the female just smiled at the girl and nodded her head as if confirming it.
"Ok, just one more question and we will leave you to rest ok? How did you get to this town?"
While it may seem like a simple question or even a useless one, to them it was rather important as it would help them fill in some blank spaces they had— it could even help them find out what they came here for.
"I just remember walking— running— for a long time. Eventually, I found myself here."
With that answer, the female agent nodded and stood up— walking out of the room so that the male could finish off the matter.
"Thank you for speaking to us, please take a rest, we will do our best to try and figure out what happened to you and help you."
He said as he stood up as well, and once the girl nodded back at him he smiled and walked out of the room.
'Follow them, hide underground, and keep some distance.'
She commanded in her mind the second she saw them leaving— who she commanded was very obvious.
Her hunters, specifically one of them to follow the agents from afar and keep an eye on them so that she will know what they were doing at all times.
She didn't expect them to come here and she needed to at least be aware of why they were here and what they were doing here.
As she watched them from a distance through her hunter she was able to see them speaking— and while she couldn't hear what they were saying from this distance underground she could see they were saying something.
"So did you sense anything?"
Ask Miguel to the female agent, Frea.
"Yes, but it wasn't like anything I've ever seen before. She wasn't like any of the mutants I've seen, her entire body is different."
She explained to the man with a complex look on her face. She was a mutant— one that worked for the FBI and was tasked with helping them find other mutants thanks to her ability, but right now she wasn't even sure if this girl was a mutant.
"What do you mean? Mutants often have a different biological makeup than humans, could that be what you sensed?"
"Well, as you know my ability lets me sense the biological changes in things around me, however, her body wasn't like any of the mutants we have seen so far. They had slight differences, they were still somewhat human, but she— she was odd."
She explained as the two entered their car, opening a built-in small computer-like device to make a report about the situation to their higher-ups.
"So what should we say? That she is a mutant or that she isn't? Was she lying when she spoke?"
He asked as he was unsure how to report this case to the people above them— they had been sent here to check if she was a mutant because of the recent mutant kidnapping cases, but, they weren't sure if she was one now.
"She should be a mutant, just a different one. I couldn't even tell if she was lying because her body is different, normally I can sense the shifts in their heart to tell if they are lying, but she doesn't have a normal heart."
"What, how is that possible?"
"As I said, I don't know. She has one big heart like a normal human, but connected to that heart are smaller hearts that also beat, making it so I can't sense just one shifting."
Both of them stopped speaking when the device was booted up, opening the connection function to make a report about the case.
On the other side of the screen came a voice, a rough and somewhat aged voice, very clearly coming from someone of age.
"What do you have to report?"
They got much more serious when the voice came through the device— how could they not when he was their boss?
"Sir, we have confirmed that she is a mutant and that this case may be related to the recent mutant kidnappings that have been happening. However, she doesn't seem to know much since she can't remember anything."
Reported Miguel to the man— pausing so that the man could give his next order and their course of action.
"If she is a mutant then bring her to our New York HQ and settle her down with a new identity. As you know, keep this matter under wraps."
Spoke the voice before the call ended and the device closed off— leaving the two agents with a new task to complete.
