007- [Action] contemplating the past...

[springtime4me]

[All of these reminders of Westport have been weighing heavily on the citizen's of Mayfield who remember that horrible place. Hitler has been keeping his head down and avoiding the Hazmats and Sergei as best he can. But he has been listening to the information being passed around. He's also taken to carrying around his one souvenier from Westport. The half burnt police badge with the name -an Olney. And every day on the way home from school, he's been stopping across the street from the police station. Staring, for just a few minutes, wondering what kind of circumstances could have lead to this mess.]

Evan Olney..... I wonder what led him to betray his friends....

Nigel?

[He hesitates, wondering whether he should tell him about this. Nigel is pretty young. But, then again, they're all in the same boat here. Better that he has all the information he can get.]

I'm talking about Evan Olney. I think that used to be Grady's name.

Hmm.

Just recently, I heard of an Evan. It must be the same person.

But what makes you think that Evan is Grady?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that's right. Nigel wasn't here for all the Westport clues. And at that time, a lot of older clues were also tossed around. Including the real names of the Mayor and Grady.]

It actually comes from several sources. A long time ago the Mayor accidentally made an unfiltered call to the town calling Grady 'Evan.' The name Evan Olney showed up on a lot of the Westport notes and letters.

And I found this badge in the Westport police station. None of it is proof, but I'm not willing to call it coincidence either....

[numbuh-one.livejournal.com]

Yes, the letters, that was it. Someone shared them with the KND after -

[wait. They're by the police station. He better not say "my run-in with Sergei."]

Anyway, a badge is good enough for me. You still have it?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

I do. I've kept it ever since I picked it up. I'm not even sure why. It's not like it provides any information that half the town didn't know already.



....But I can't seem to throw it away.

[numbuh-one.livejournal.com]

I don't see the problem with that.

[pause.]

Thank you for telling me.

[feels weird, thanking a teenager... but he deserves it]

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

You're welcome. If I figure out anything else I'll let you know, okay?

[numbuh-one.livejournal.com]

... Very well. I look forward to our cooperation.

[he's not sure he means that, but in a way, it doesn't sound too bad.

Yet.]

Thought of any more "experiments" lately?

[springtime4me.livejournal.com]

[He gives an embarrassed smile. He's a little surprised that Nigel even remembers that.]

Well, since the last one was pretty much a total failure..... I don't plan on starting a new on any time soon.


I really only had the one idea anyway.

[numbuh-one.livejournal.com]

I see.

[that experiment had him on edge anyway, which is exactly why he remembers it]

Perhaps it's for the best that you didn't learn how to drone people. As we've seen from Evan Olney, that sort of power corrupts.

[a slight turn of his head toward the police station as he glares a little.]

We don't need too many people learning that.
