I sat in that interrogation room for hours getting more and more frustrated.

"You've been caught just tell the truth!"

"I am telling the truth you nut case! I should sue your ass!"

"If you can sue me for solving a murder case with you being the murderer then you can kill me too hon."

"Murder case? What murder, what case, what the hell are you talking about!"

"Don't play dumb! You know exactly what is going on! You killed your boyfriend, you killed a man who just wanted to help you! You killed a barn full of people! Now tell me why!"

Her eyes glossed over with fear and her breathing off.

"What are you talking about. Look I just want to go home okay. My name is Lorelei-Lolli, I'm a famous K-pop star k. Just let me call my producer man. I don't know you you want from me."

Her voice was shaky and low but sincere. I narrowed my eyes as my eyebrows inched closer to each other.

"Wait here," I said before walking out of the room.

I was quickly stopped my Selan and the four others that came to the barn with us only hours before.

"What are you doing?"

"I need a shrink."

"We all need a shrink after today man but why are you leaving her in there!" interrupted one of the four cops.

"Agent?"

"Maley."

"Agent Maley I need a shrink for her. I need them to go in and tell me if she's lost it or not. Deirdre was heavily abused by her alcoholic mother before she fell on a broken bottle getting it logged in her chest quickly killing her. She went into foster care but never found a home that stuck with her. She began a relationship, many in the building they lived in suspecting abuse but kept to their own business. I'm not excusing what she did Maley but if she's not right in the head we need to know."

His face slowly morphed from anger to embarrassment.

"Now for the love of all holy please tell me you small tiny unfunded sheriff's office has a shrink."

"We do," said Selan, "let me go grab him I'll be back."

We waited a good fifteen minutes until Salen came back with a short man with dark curly hair cut in a style resembling a mullet. His eyes were green, blue, and hazel all at once like they couldn't figure out what they were supposed to be.

"Doctor very nice to meat you," I said lending a hand.

"Lisha please," he said shaking my outreached hand.

"Bailey Malvin."

"Okay Bailey what we doin' here."

"I need you to tell me if the girl in here is nuts or just a hella good lier. Her name is Deirdre Brillen Galis. Abused as a child, and then again in adulthood after getting put out by foster care. Here's her file, we'll be in the screen room when your done."

He nodded and we walked into the screen room. He walked into the interrogation room soon after.

"Hello Deirdre I'm Dr. Oda, you can call me Lisha."

"Um okay Lisha, I don't know a Deirdre. I'm Lorelei-lolli."

"Surely that's not your real name. Stage name perhaps."

"I am a K-pop idol but as far as I remember I know my own name."

"I think you think you do, Lorelei tell me about your childhood."

"Wha-" she paused cutting herself off. Her face was confused and possibly scared, "this is ridiculous-"

"You don't remember one do you?"

She looked at him dead on, face blank of emotion and eyes wide.

"Your name is Deirdre Brillen Galis, you we're put in foster care at age 10 after your abusive mother slipped and fell on a shattered vodka bottle. She was an alcoholic. You told the cops that day she hated you because you ruined her life. She was 16 when she had you so her family disowned her and boyfriend ditched her."

"No, no. NO STOP IT!" she yelled.

She continued to scream, he talked over her.

"So they took you away, to live in a big house with six other children. Once a week people would come and talk to you, sometimes take you with them after a few hours of taking. But they never did keep you did they? You always ended up back at that big house as the sic kids that you knew slowly left and didn't come back, until you were the only one. Then knew kids came but they all left too. It was like that for 8 years until you had to leave, but not with a family, on your own. You were legally an adult so you had to fend for yourself. Then you met Bent, he was cute, kind, loving. Until he drank of course. Then he was just like your mother wasn't he Deirdre?"

She was sobbing know her hands tangled up in her hair, she was confused and angry and terrified.

"Did I really?-"

"Yes, yes you did. Deirdre I believe that through all the pain you've suffered especially as a child you developed a disorder. Your mind in attempt to protect itself made you a safe haven. When to much was happening, you were in to much pain it shut you off leaving you in a perfect fake reality where you had no control or consciousness in your life. Much like a multi personality disorder."

"That's no excuse," she mumbled softly.

"No, no it's not. But it's the truth and will be evidence on trial. I'm sorry Deirdre."

She didn't reply, just sat curled up on the metal chair.

"Holy damn," Maley whispered.

"Yep."
