suffered a fairly traumatic head injury. She likely has a concussion. I know why you need to talk to her and why you’re so angry with her. It’s completely understandable. For now I think it would be best if she had a couple of hours of sleep minimum. After that she will feel better and will be better able to answer questions. I’d like to give her something for pain which will help her sleep.” This sounded reasonable to Vincent. He could use the time to clear his own head and think of how to best proceed. His anger and frustration with what had happened recently had provoked him into slapping Monique. The extra time would help him approach the situation more clearly. He did have one idea. “That sounds like a good plan to me. Do you have something which will really knock her out?” he asked. “Why do you ask?” she replied. “I want to know if she’s telling the truth or not. I want to put mood contacts in her eyes without her knowledge.” he said.
Captain Basso interrupted. “What are mood contacts?” he asked. “They are contact lenses which change color when you’re mood changes. To be more accurate they detect changes in the blood flow around the eyes. It’s not really a polygraph but it’s the best we can do. If she’s relaxed the contacts will be bluish in color. Lying creates more stress and blood flow around the eyes. The contacts will turn reddish.” Vincent said. “I think Patrick has mood contacts. I’ll knock her out and put them in her eyes.” Julia said.
He had been in space for an hour and Vincent was going to have to contact Enzo already. Enzo hadn’t wanted to be contacted unless it was absolutely necessary. He needed some additional details from the Captain before he made the call. He found him in the command center. “Captain, I need to ask you a few questions. How often is the recycling and the refuse picked up at the hanger?” he asked. “It’s all picked up daily. It was a good idea for you to have Dominic put the phone in the recycling. Electronic equipment goes to Florida for recycling. The CIA will track it to Florida then the signal will be gone forever. Most of the garbage is incinerated so that won’t be a worry either.” the Captain replied. “Do we know if the security cameras were turned off in time?” Vincent asked. “According to Thomas they were. Dominic did not show up on any of the feeds prior to them being turned off.” James replied. “Thank you Captain, I’ll try not to cause any more trouble.” Vincent said. “That would be great, we don’t need any trouble. I think you did the right thing under the circumstances by the way. Sometimes you have to act when the opportunity presents itself. If at all possible check with me next time something comes up. We need to communicate and I need to be in the loop.” he said.
Enzo was looking at Vincent on his computer screen. “The Constellation left just over an hour ago Vincenzo. You know you are only to contact me in case of an emergency.” Vincent ex plained what had happened with Agent Murphy and told Enzo he would be questioning her shortly. “Have Dominic with you when you question her. He may be able to help. Use whatever means necessary to find out who gave the order. Call me back when you’re done. There are now new issues we will have to discuss.”
Julia told Monique she was giving her something for the pain which would help her sleep as well. It wasn’t a lie, but it wasn’t exactly the truth either. Five minutes after taking the medication Monique was completely out. Julia inserted the mood contacts thirty minutes later. It would take the contacts around fifteen minutes to adjust to her normal heart rate. When she woke up the mood contacts would be functional. As long as she didn’t look in the mirror she shouldn’t notice any difference.
Vincent found Dominic and brought him to Julia’s cabin. He was going to try and get Monique to lie to make sure the contacts were working. They
