The Intern

The Interrogation and Wrap-Up

       The plan is to go in and then have her bring me water. Once inside we're going to have to play it by ear. I told her to act more how she would when in the persona he knows. That came with the follow-up question about getting consent to touch me. Giving it to her we're really about to find out how much experience she truly has.

       Stepping into the room with Rittenhouse he sneers puffing out his chest. "Where's your little slut?" Up until now, I've heard he's asked anyone that's come in where Ray Baby is and gives them nothing else.

       Somehow, she's been downgraded to being my slut instead of having any sort of name. "My intern went to go get a couple of bottles of water. You've been in here all morning I'm sure you're thirsty." Counting to ten in my head she hits her cue walking into the interrogation room. Staying on my left side she sits one bottle down in front of our unsub leaning across me to do so.

       The way she leans sideways on instinct I reach up to keep her from toppling even if she wasn't. My hand lands on her hip and at contact Rittenhouse's jaw clenches. Keeping it there I let it drop only once she straightens up. Twisting the lid of the other she holds it out to me but keeps the lid. Taking a sip her plan was to have me hand it back to her to deal with. A very subtle power play but under scrutiny, it of course doesn't go unnoticed.

       Now that his emotions are on high, I open the case file I brought in with me. Spreading the crime scene photos out his gaze shifts to them briefly before going back to her. "Does what I did hurt your feelings? Knowing I killed them because they were nothing but trash, holes to use then be discarded just like you." There's the confession for four now we need one for the rest.

       "Hurts my feelings? No. Disgusts me? Absolutely. And considering you think I'm trash truly what does that make you?" Juvenile maybe but it works.

       Jerking at his cuffs she doesn't even flinch. "I'm the one who's cleaning up the whores that's taint this world. I was sent here to save this world!" There's the religious delusion we profiled.

       "So, you're a savior? Is that why you needed your own angels?" It's like a switch flips in him and suddenly he up his cuffs snapping. Out of my seat, I shove Ray towards the door. Pulling the handle, it doesn't open. "Of course. Lucifer move everyone away from the window!" Having no idea what her plan is he flexes his shoulders and begins our way. "Emily cover your ears." Not having time to question it she hit a high note and rapidly pitches it up.

       Sticking my fingers in my ears I didn't even know a person could hit that register. Rittenhouse stops doubling over to cover his ears. Suddenly the glass in the window next to us shatters. Even being bulletproof certain sound frequencies can shatter any glass. Now with a way-out Lucifer reaches in and pulls her out before grabbing me. He lifts me like I weigh nothing sitting me down next to her. "You don't know anything about my Angels! Dr. Arden knew how to purify a soul and God gave me those photos because he kne-" He also tries to come through the window but a uni puts a bullet in him before he can.

       If anything concludes our case, it's that. With Rittenhouse dead, there's nothing more we can do. "If it was anyone it would be Marcy..." Except maybe follow up on that.

       Turning everything back over to Decker we help box everything up and my team heads back to the hotel. Having everyone still at the house meet us instead of going straight back to our room I go to Tara and JJ's. Sitting down on the blonde's bed she breaks out her to-go bottle of wine. After today I most certainly need it. "Tara told me what happened and based on the crime scene unit's reaction when they yanked up the floorboards, I'd say she didn't lie." Shaking my head how could anyone make up what just happened? "Did you hear about the fact that all of those 'angels' were shot point blank between the eyes with marksmen precision?" Staring at her I had not heard anything about that.
