Eithen arrived at the safe house within 20 minutes of receiving the call letting him know that they had located and brought in Angelica for questioning. He pulled up and turned off the engine, just sitting there for a moment trying to calm himself down before he had to confront this...this woman. Eithen got out and walked into the house nodding at one of his betas. "Hey Troy, what did you find out from our 'guest' so far?" "Nothing much as of yet Alpha. We located her 2 towns over, hooking on the streets. Looks like she has a substance addiction of some kind. She won't answer any of our questions concerning River or their daughter." "Take me to her, let's see if I can get her to talk." Eithen ordered his beta with an evil little grin on his face.

Angelica looked up when she heard the door opening to the room that these people had placed her in. She was scared, she just wanted to go home, she had no idea who they were or what they wanted with her. Why did they keep asking her about River and Raivyn? How did they even know about them? "Who are you? What do you want with me?" her voice quivered as she stared at the intimidating man that came into the room. He stood easily at 6'5 and pushing 200lbs. of solid muscle. He frightened her like no other has so far.
"Hello Ms. Laurentis, all of your questions will be answered after you have answered all of mine." Eithen sneered as he looked her over. What did River ever see in this woman? Just looking at her repulsed him. It was apparent that she was addicted to something. Her hair was dirty and stringy, she had dark circles under her eyes and she looked like she weighed in around 90lbs soaking wet. This could not be the woman that River had loved and had a child with.
"Let's start out by asking where your daughter is Ms. Laurentis. If what you tell us is the truth, then things will go a lot better for you. If you choose to not be honest, then let's just say...you might not enjoy the outcome." Eithen stood there with his legs spread and his arms crossed over his massive chest, knowing that he posed a very intimidating image. Especially to one so little. He watched the fear and uncertainty play across her face. He just knew that she was going to try and deny knowing anything. He didn't have to wait long for the lies to start.
"You've got the wrong person. I don't know who this lady is that you're talkin' about. My name is not whatever it was you said. This is a mistake, I don't know anything. Just let me go, please, I won't tell no one about what you did." Angelica didn't know what to do. She didn't want to admit that she fucked up where her daughter was concerned. She had to find a way out of this. She figured if she pleaded and cried enough that they would believe her. How wrong she was.
Eithen pulled a chair over and sat it in front of Angelica. Sitting down, he leaned forward with his elbows on his knees so he was eye to eye with her. He just sat there staring, watching her squirm in her seat. "I suggest you tell us what we want Angelica." He noticed how she flinched when he used her first name. 'Let's see how she reacts to all we know about her' he thought. "Yes, we know exactly who you are. We know that you are 23 years of age. We know that you were born here in the city. We know that you were involved with a man named River Addison for the last four years. That is until you decided to run off 6 months ago without warning. Taking your daughter, Raivyn with you. We know that you no longer take care of her. We know that you just gave her away when it got to be too much for you. We also know that you have substance abuse problems. What we don't know right now is where you have placed your daughter."
Eithen sat there and let her take in all that he said. Knowing that there was no way for her to dispute any of it. He waited. By now she was sobbing, trying to catch her breath so she could respond. They knew, they knew what she had done. She couldn't get out of this. God she needed a fix. If only they would let her have her bag. If she could calm down, she would tell them everything. She just needed her stuff. Eithen noticed that Angelica kept glancing over into the corner where someone had placed her bag. "Troy, grab that bag for me will ya. Let's see what's in there that has her attention."
Troy walked over and grabbed up the bag that they took when they picked her up that morning. Opening it and taking a look inside, he saw what it was that she wanted. Troy handed the bag over to his Alpha with a smile on his face, knowing they now had what was needed to get all the information they wanted. Eithen sat back in the chair just out of Angelica's reach as she eyed the bag that he now held. Opening it up and looking in he saw what appeared to be a kit for heroin. There was a charred spoon laying in the bottom along with a lighter, hypodermic needle and three small baggies with a beige colored powder in it all tied together with a string. He could now see the signs, it had been awhile since her last fix. This was going to be easier than he thought.
"Is this what you are wanting Angelica?" he asked as he pulled out her stash. He watched as she licked her lips and noticed the sweat that was starting to run down the side of her face. "Is it starting to hurt yet? Tell me what I want to know and I might be nice and let you have a taste." Angelica kept her eyes on what this man had in his hand. It was exactly what she needed. She could feel herself starting to shake. Could she do it? Could she tell them what she had done to her daughter? She had to, she had no choice. She knew, she knew the pain would start soon. She couldn't take the pain. "Please...I need it...please...I beg you...I'll tell whatever you want. Just...just...let me have some."
'How fucking pathetic', Eithen thought as he waved the shit in his hand around watching her reactions the entire time. "Ok Angelica, you can have a taste. Right after you tell us where Raivyn can be located at, and we verify what you have told us. Then you can have as big a taste as you want. Does that sound like a deal? " Angelica sat there, never taking her eyes off his hand. She just nodded her head, agreeing to tell them what they wanted to know. "Sometime today, Angelica...I can hold out for a long time, but can you?"
