Jade sat tied to a chair, her clothes were covered in blood, her wrists were covered in rope burns, and her face was covered in scars. The room was dark, and for some reason she couldn't lift her head. Her muscles had given up on her. A lone light hung above her so dim that even if she could lift her head she wouldn't be able to see far. A door opened to the side of her and a blinding light shone it. "FBI! We're here to help!" Jade had decided to stop trying to lift her head. If they were here to help they would help. She blacked out. Jade was outside she looked up to see the man she had been searching for. His hands were covered in fresh blood. He lifted his head to witness Jade. "Exactly the man I was looking for."
"Jade fucking West."
"You need to give up Flynn."
"Now. Why would I do that?"
"Because eventually we are going to get you."
"Good luck." He he hit her over the head knocking Jade unconscious, untying her wrists. "'Till we meet again." He kissed her cheek and walked out of the building.
Once she woke up, she took the nearest car and drove into the city. She found the nearest government building and went into the bathroom. A senator walked in and Jade knocked her out, switched clothes, and cleaned her hands. As she walked through the city her hands were clean but nothing could be done about her face, not yet anyway. She knew who had given her every scar. In order to get into the FBI building she bought a bag of dirt and an amethyst. She went to the nearest park poured dirt on the grass to look like a newly dug grave. Nobody would have seen the senator by now they'll be looking for a killer. A serial killer. Jade had to pose as Flynn "The Stone Killer". He was given this title because every person he murdered has some kind of stone on their grave. She placed an amethyst down on the grave. "FBI. Hands up!" She turned around with her hands up. "Help me please. Help me!" She screamed. The FBI did not know that the "grave," she placed an amethyst on was empty. She was crying while they handcuffed her and moved her to a van. They drove her to the H.Q. and walked her through the room with all the agents who were applauding the people who had arrested her. Until Julia Copeland walked in. Julia Copeland was however extremely happy when they had brought in "the girl who had killed her fiance", they were both agents and had fallen in love that way. The co-workers around them had started to talk. Until Director Brinkman came back and pulled Julia into her office. Jade was lead into the interrogation room. "Paige would you mind talking to her?" Paige was a therapist for the FBI and under Brinkman's orders followed Jade. "Julia you are not going to be lead agent on this case."
"What? Why?"
"You're too close. You're going to be biased and that is not our job."
"I'm too close!?" Julia was appalled. "If anything being too close would give me more motivation to find out the truth!"
"COPELAND! Trust me on this one. If you don't want just any agent on this case-"
"I don't."
"-then I will be the lead agent. Okay?"
"Fine." As Director Brinkman started to stand up Julia stopped her with a question. "Can I watch the interrogation?" Director Brinkman hesitated then sighed.
"Sure," and they began to walk. Once they got into the watch room they were both stopped dead in their tracks. She had bright red eyes, and was biting her arms and rubbing the blood on the walls. They both slowly proceeded into the room. "What is she doing?" Director Brinkman asked.
"We honestly have no idea she immediately started doing that once we put her in the room."
Another 30 minutes went by until she started doing something different. Julia left then, when she started spitting blood on the mirror. Special agent Laurel Cheney saw Julia exiting the room. "Hey! Julia! You okay? I heard about-"
"I'm fine" Julia snapped back.
"So I guess this means the wedding's canceled huh?" Julia shot her an annoyed look.
"Sorry."
"I'm fine. Hey do you know what color her eyes were when you arrested her?"
"Um...ok...weird question...I think green, but like a light green. Um...You know what they're kind of the color of the stone um...urgh what's it called. Ah! Jade the stone they were that color. Why?"
"Because they are red now..." When Julia walked back in she was still spitting blood everywhere and spreading it everywhere. Jade stopped for a second to bang her head with her hands. "Stop it! Stop it! Stop it!" She was silent for a moment. "Ooo I like that idea."
"What idea?" Paige asked trying to rub some of the blood off her face. Julia felt bad for her.
"The one Hope told me. She's standing right there." Jade sat down on the table - the side closest to the mirror - and waved. "Say Hello."
"Hello?" Paige said turning her face in the general direction of the mirror.
"Say it like you mean it! She knows when you're lying." Jade turned pointed to where "Hope" was standing. She did a sharp turn back towards Paige who had a confused look on her face. "Don't pretend like you can't see her! She likes you! But, she doesn't like Julia. Julia has been watching this entire time and hasn't introduced herself. That makes Hope very angry." Director Brinkman, almost filled with anger turned towards Julia.
"I. Thought. I. Told. YOU! To. Stay. Away. From. Her." She said through gritted teeth.
"I did." Julia said desperately trying to redeem herself. Although she didn't know why considering that she did nothing. "I swear I did!" Jade looked away from "Hope".
"Director Brinkman." Jade said almost to sane for an insane person. "I must tell you to hold back your criticisms for Agent Copeland. Why?" Jade began to grow a southern accent. "She never did make any contact with me. Why? Why would she make any contact with lil' ol' me?" Julia noticed that Director Brinkman's finger was rested on the intercom on button, and Julia slowly pulled her finger off. Once realizing what Julia had done, she put her finger back on and asked.
"How do you know our names?"
"You all wear name tags. Kind of ridiculous if you ask me." Jade mumbled. Returning to a normal voice she said "And your co-workers talk. A lot. I was outside of this bright room for a while. Seriously though could we dim the lights or something." Jade turned toward Paige, who was still wiping blood off of her face. "How do you sit in this room comfortably?"
"I have blood in my eyes to block most of the light." Paige said incredibly annoyed. Jade cackled. A really loud cackle.
"You're funny." Jade replied, she swiftly turned back towards the mirror. "Sorry to hear about your fiance. Such a shame. Did you like my moonstone? Took me weeks to find that little sucker. Once I did, however, I thought it was so pretty just like the one in your ring. After weeks of looking it took months of polishing. Then your fiance showed up. Very handsome might I add, and I finally could put a good moonstone to use." At this point Jade was rambling and everyone grew tired of it. "I'm tired." Jade said, spinning on her heels to the therapist. "Get out." Paige glared she was pissed by now.
"You can't kick me out." Paige said standing her ground. Jade's eyes got redder. It was surprising because nobody thought they could get any more red, and even less thought they dimmed. "I've claimed this. There is not one drop of your blood on the walls. THIS AREA IS MINE!" Jade screamed, throwing a chair next to Paige's head, and hitting the door. Paige got up without a word and left. Jade then proceeded to curl up in a ball on the table and fall asleep.
After an incredibly long, awkward silence, as everybody took in what they had just witnessed, they looked toward Director Brinkman as to what to do. Director Brinkman slowly turned towards Julia. "I lied she's all yours."
Julia walked out of the room to see a bunch of people eagerly awaiting what to do. Julia took a deep breath "Anderson, Beckett I want you figuring out where Jade's parents live, then going to talk to them about 'Hope'. Carter, Dawson and..." Julia looked around the room. "Reed. I need you guys setting up the interrogation room. Put her in a chair please, Oh and talk to Eriqa about getting a polygraph machine."
Carter started to complain. "Eriqa!? Oh come on boss please. I mean she kind of freaks me out." He slouched trying to make his point.
"That's why there are three of you." At least an hour went by until Julia went back into the interrogation room. "Hey. Hey. Hey. Boys what about the blood on the wall?"
"We're out of bleach" Dawson shrugged. "We'll get more later. Oh and she started moving by the way."
"Okay. Good. Out, out, out." Julia shooed them away. Before she closed the door, Agent Parker stopped it with his foot. She opened the door and let him in. He shut the door behind himself. "What do you want Parker?"
"Can I watch?"
"Ugh. Yeah. Fine. Whatever." Jade started to wake up. Julia snapped and pointed to the door. "Out." As Parker left he held up his hands as if he had just been arrested. Once Jade woke up she slowly looked up to Julia. Julia instantly noticed that her face had no scars. "What's your name?" Julia asked,
"Whose blood is that?" Jade asked. Parker walked in.
"You don't know?" He questioned.
"No." Jade had replied.
"It's your own."
"Mine?" Jade looked towards her arms which were covered in forming scabs. "How?" The room was padded as if she was insane and there was no possible way to cut herself.
"Your teeth."
"What?"
"You bit your fingers and arms to the point of bleeding. Then you rubbed it on the walls and spit it on the mirrors."
"What?"
"You bit your fingers and arms to the point of bleeding. Than you rubbed in on the walls and spit it on the mirrors."
"I would never do that." Jade's eyes started to change colors. "But I would." Jade closed her eyes, and had fallen back asleep.
Julia sighed. "You said WATCH. I did not know that watching involved walking into the room and TALKING TO HER!"
"Whatever." Parker said, "Hey, did you notice her eyes they were like a really bright green, I guess that's why they named her Jade her eyes and the stone have the same color."
"I know. It's intriguing. It's a really rare color too." Julia replied.
Jade woke up again. "Who are you? Whose blood is that? Did I kill someone?" she said without taking a breath.
"My name is special agent Julia Copeland. That is your blood and you killed multiple someones."
"My name is special agent Braden Parker." He chirped and held out his hand for her to shake. She backed away from it. "Okay..." He mumbled and took his hand back.
"So ja-" Julia was cut off.
"Who's that?"
"His name is Braden Parker." Julia said completely uninterested in answering the question.
"No! Behind him!"
Julia turned around. "There is no one there." Jade began to stare intently. "That must be the Hope you were telling us about." Jade's eyes started to turn red. "Close your eyes Jade." She followed Julia's instructions and fell asleep. "Hey... uh... Parker can you... uh... stay in here until... she... wakes up." Julia said with a very confused look on her face.
"Sure. You okay?"
"What? Oh. Yeah. I just need to make a call." Julia walked out and leaned back in the doorway. "Don't let her talk to Hope." As she was walking to her office Bob Anderson grabbed her. "We found out who Hope is."
"Who?"
"Well apparently the biological parents, they're in the lobby now, have been keeping track of their daughter their entire lives-"
"Great, great, great. Who is she?" Julia said rushing him.
"Oh. Yeah. Her name is Hope Andren she works at the New York FBI office.
"I need her here now."
"I'll talk to the director." Anderson and Julia parted ways. She walked into her office and called a hypnotist.
