Catalina

Catalina paced up and down the front room of the police station, watching the paramedics haul the still groggy man in a stolen forensics uniform inside and toward the interrogation rooms.

She still couldn’t figure it out. How had these men gotten a hold of official uniforms like that? Where were the actual forensics techs they had taken them from? And were those MBLIS agents alright? She tried not to admit to herself that she was worried about the agents. Her thoughts lingered on the one with the kind eyes, who had practically saved her life that morning on the boat’s deck.

The guy groaned as the paramedics dragged him past her.

“Is he okay?” she asked, eying him warily.

“He’ll be fine,” one of the paramedics said flippantly. “He just took a sedative is all. We checked his vitals and observed him, and he’s fine. Should be coming to any minute now.”

Catalina followed close behind the paramedics as they dragged the man past the first set of interrogation rooms, then around a corner and past the room where the women had been resting earlier before Catalina had them sent to the hospital to be checked out more thoroughly than they had been on the beach, and to an interrogation room toward the back of the building. There, they dumped him unceremoniously in a chair and handcuffed each wrist tightly to an armrest.

She would have felt sorry for him, maybe, if he hadn’t tried to kill two of those MBLIS agents, and possibly killed two forensics techs and trafficked who knew how many women. No, Catalina decided that this man didn’t deserve to be handled delicately, though of course she wouldn’t let anyone mistreat him while he was in their care. The last thing she needed was for this case to go under on a stupid technicality in court. That had happened to her once or twice toward the beginning of her career, and the incidents still bothered to her to that day.

“You okay in here alone?” one of the paramedics, a bulky man with several tattoos on his arms, asked her, giving her a skeptical look as he and his coworker turned to leave.

“Yes, I’m fine,” she assured him, taking her seat across from the man and straightening her suit jacket, adopting a firm expression and demeanor. “What’s he going to do, break out of those cuffs?”

“Fair enough,” the paramedic shrugged, and both of them left, leaving Catalina all alone with the perp.

She watched him carefully. He was probably around five-foot-seven or five-foot-eight, with a medium build. Some muscle, but not a ton. Brown hair. A decent five o’clock shadow around his cheeks and jawline. He didn’t look like much, drooling with his head tilted off to the side.

He was a monster, though. She knew that much from what the police had told her. He was trying to erase evidence of the human trafficking ring, and he tried to kill Agents Marston and Holm. He even took one of their lab techs hostage, the poor woman.
