Hampton, 13/05/2012. 19:30.All members of the Lyndon"s family were currently sitting in the sofa in the living room. They all opted to take a day off to watch what is going to happen to Caldwell on the news. Since this morning the press was having a field day with news report. They seems to have found the moniker "Black Slaver" for him, not overly imaginative but it has catch on rapidly on social media. On television they start to interview every kind of expert to speak on the situation in the country touched by the atrocities. They also call influential politician who were a.s.sociated with Caldwell, every one of them stating that they had cut ties for diverse reason before today. Caldwell has become radioactive and the network of relation that he established with his reputation and money crumble in a single night.
On the news they were replaying the arrest of Caldwell by FBI agent outside of his home in the Hampton. He was still wearing pajamas when he was arrested by the FBI and pushed inside of a SUV. Everyone was still shocked by the news, the news networks were currently breaking records of viewer who wanted to know more about the atrocities he commited.
"There is a thing that i don"t understand." Finally said Robert, gathering the attention of everyone.
"What is it Dad?" Ask Mary, curious.
"Someone with as much connection as him, i"m surprised he was still in his home and not in a plane on the way to a country without extradition when the arrest warrant was issued." Said Robert his eyes focusing on someone in the room.
Nathaniel face the searching eyes of his grandfather with an impa.s.sive stare.
"You did not ear? Last night a power surge happen and the cell tower deserving the Hampton was damaged, it was repaired around noon today. And he made the mistake to contract AT&T for his internet and landline… sometimes their service shut down for no reason…" Said Nathaniel with an innocent expression.
Seeing the surprised look of his family, he shook his head laughing.
"Don"t looked at me like that, i"m not the one who did it. I don"t really have the skill set
whereas an ex Mossad agent could do it easily." He said, turning and looking to the door.
After saying that, everyone turned to Amal who was listening to the news near the door. Seeing the whole family looking at him, his eyes flicker to Nathaniel for a second before nodding. That was of course a lie, he had the skill set to do it but that was best if his family ignore it. The brief eyes contact that Amal made in that second show that Amal was suspicious of it but he would say nothing. He was not the kind of people who like to pry into other people business.
"That explain why the office could not join me this morning" Say Karine, understanding what was going on.
"How things are going in the DA office by the way Mom?"
"It"s a mess, every prosecutor are currently fighting for the case, the DA is currently unavailable and every New York news channel want to interview him for his relation with Caldwell. That was not really nice to send the file to all the prosecutor of New York and DC, i understand now why you ask for their address email. They even ask me to come back to help sort this mess."
"What did you answer?" Ask Mary.
"That i wanted to pa.s.s more time with my lovely son who came out of coma and that i would come back tomorrow." She said with a lovely smile.
"Why did you send the files to every prosecutor in the state by the way?"
"Mostly redundancy, they could make disappear one or two but not thirty of them. I would love to see their face when they realise that none of them would take the case to court." He said laughing which trigger puzzled expression to appear on everyone faces.
"What do you mean sweetie?" Ask Karine, frowning.
"I send the files to the international court of LaHaye. I think they would start the extradition process in the week. I would trust any European court over one of our own. We have a tendencies to forget things fast, they don"t, especially when you are accused of crime against humanity."
"I"m impressed sweetie, you thought of everything." Said Karine getting up and hugging him.
"I"m proud of you baby!" Add Mary, joining the hug.
"Can they find out from where the information came out? Can they find out that we are the one who did it?" Ask Diane somewhat anxious.
"We hide our trace very well, there is nothing that can tied us to the emails or the letters sent. Moreover we don"t have any alibi to do it and we are rich and influential. If for some reason they wanted to start an investigation, we are not really the usual suspect. We are good." a.s.sure Nathaniel with a rea.s.suring nod who seem to appease Diane worries.
"I wanted to talk about something else with you guys."
