Former Commander of the Elite Unit Making Headlines Speaks Part 4
Part 3 is here
INT: So killing monsters. Are there other kinds?
CAIN: Yeah, but the "big three" was Zombies, vampires, were-people.
INT: There were other things?
CAIN: They were different. We discovered some things as well. Do you have the declassified report?
INT: I have it with me...here.
CAIN: Damn, they did redact the shit out of this. Oh, here's one! Operation: Cash Flow. Gary Tran. Sad story.
INT: You can talk about that.
CAIN: Yeah. Tran was a Vietnamese immigrant, who got here through a Snakehead out of Hong Kong.
INT: A snake head?!
CAIN: That's slang. A people smuggler.
INT: Oh. Sorry.
CAIN: Now that I say it out loud, yeah, sounds a little intense in context. Tran's wife came to America on an H1-B visa, he visited her, got her pregnant, and then went home. Lyn Tran. Now, he didn't know he did that initially you know, people love.
The colonel pauses, and sort of sighs, her hands are working some sort of boxy and weird assault rifle thing; it has circular handles and the trigger is recessed into it.
(that's a P90 SMG - ed)
CAIN: She was a sweet lady, a real homemaker type, but also a great computer scientist. No shit, she was like, amazing. So her husband? He was bad with electronics. He was a carpenter, and pretty goddamned great at that, too. Finally, gets to America and get snatched by the Russian mob, why? Ask me why.
INT: Why?
CAIN: He had an entropy field. Electronics couldn't survive around him. The fucking irony. But if he was happy? The field changed, and some electronics would "die happy," like ATM machines.
INT: So they...
CAIN: They would drug him with MDMA and go to a drive up ATM machine with a duffel bag. His wife initially got us involved, and we ended up working the Secret Service and FBI. Technically, he was our jurisdiction, but the crimes he was used to commit were theirs. Now they're elsewhere; safe and sound. Especially with the kid; might have what dad has.
INT: How does SQRF...
CAIN: That's what's it's called now?! The 'Squrf?!' Damn. It was just Q-R-F when I was in charge.
INT: I guess they had acknowledge the 'special' nature of it. There are people with super powers?
CAIN: They are pretty rare. A case like that is pretty rare. There hasn't been anyone like Tran since then.
INT: Have you encountered non-human... threats?
CAIN: We used to call them concerns, those first two words and NHC's.
INT: Can you tell me more about some of them?
CAIN: Well, let's see what's not blacked out... [flips pages] Oh, this, yeah, I can tell you about this...one of those vampire cultists. Lemme tell you about this bullshit.
INT: How was it bullshit?
CAIN: Well, you gonna listen?
INT: Sorry.
CAIN: We actually first really found out about them when we called in on an incident; lone survivor, woman, Yvette Price. She was kidnapped by cultists and escaped. We met her at the hospital, Sgt. 1st Class Braken and I.
INT: Who?
CAIN: He was in charge of the unit when I joined.
INT: There is no mention of him...anywhere in those documents.
CAIN: Well, they probably pre-date his death...
INT: Who was he?
CAIN: That's a question for someone else, mostly. He was a good leader and mentor to me.
INT: And too...Yvette Price?
CAIN: Dig this scene; she's in a hospital bed in the University of Iowa. Two police detectives are interrogating her.
INT: What? Like, while she's recovering?
CAIN: Yeah, and they're trying to get her to say she made the whole thing up. Now, this was the third incident like this in Iowa, so Barken is all making his "what the fuck" face out in the hall. And I'm like "Yeah, what the fuck?" And Braken is listening to this "Are you sure?" crap from these assholes.
INT: Then what happened?
Part 5 coming soon.
