CHAPTER FOURTEEN

As Eisenhawk sat down, I said, "You know, if I looked up the word ‘obsession’ in the dictionary, your face would be right there underneath, wouldn't it?"

Eisenhawk raised a brow and gave me a thin-lipped smile. "Mr. Hagen, with all due respect, I am trying to do my job to best of my ability. Now, if you would just answer a few questions, I'm sure we can expedite an end to your time here."

Coldly, I said, "Mr. Eisenhawk, the FBI told me this was an interview about the attack on my hometown.”

Sitting in the chair across from me, Eisenhawk seemed to ignore my outburst and my question as he put his valise down and opened it.

As he rummaged through it, he said, "I am assisting the FBI and the police in this matter, Mr. Hagen. But this has more to do with information that has recently come to light in the past twenty-four hours."

I narrowed my eyes as I said, “If this is about Alex Shaw again...sir…"

See? I can be polite. I didn't call him names. Granted, I said it with a sharp tone to my voice.

But he ignored that and said, "Actually, thanks to Brian Shaw's recent revelations, I am no longer concerned about Alex Shaw. I’m quite aware of his background. As far as I’m concerned, all the questions concerning his past have been answered."

I shook my head and sighed. "That's just wonderful. Maybe someday you can publish a book. Now, if there's nothing else—"

"Empowered," he said, interrupting me.

I gave him a look. "What? Okay…and that means…?"

Eisenhawk said, "I was hoping you would know. It's a word that’s been mentioned in some of the Internet's virtual chat rooms for the past month or so. The blogosphere has repeatedly brought it up, as well. And it's not about emotional or spiritual empowerment, as the terminology is normally applied. It's been on Twitter, Facebook—"

“Failbook, maybe,” I quipped, referring to the web site that featured screenshots of status updates that people found to be funny. He must have gotten the reference because for the first time since we met, he smiled.

Still, his voice was dead serious when he said, "Are you aware of that word being used in the past few weeks by anyone, Mr. Hagen?"

He kept saying my name like that, and every time he did, I wanted to look around to see if my dad was behind me. His polite attitude was throwing me off, especially since before now, he'd been a total jackass towards me. He had been smarmy, arrogant, and dismissive in response to the answers I’d given him during the hospital interview.

I wanted to give it back to him, but I stayed polite and said, "But I haven't had a chance to get online very much for quite a while now. You may have heard that I had quite a lot of people interviewing me. It kept me from having much time site surfing. So I don't know anything about Empowered. Sorry, I can't help you.
