The ride in the elevator was silent. We didn't even make eye contact. The walk to the evaluation room was just as awkward but as soon as we were behind closed doors, he held me in a tight hug.

"God dammit Janey. I thought you were dead. I don't want to lose you." He held on to me and I felt so safe in his arms.

I backed away and took a deep breath before falling back into a chair. I went on to update him on what I found out from Jeff and how he had tried to kill me. I wasn't sure why Jeff had been so violent towards me but Alex said that it could just be he was wanting to keep his appearance unknown to the Foundation. I was confused why it took Alex so long to come join me and that's when he handed me his notebook.

Interview 3

//- Alex Baldwin and Aburee Harthen -//

It's always a pleasure to speak with you Miss. Harthen.

The same goes for you Mr. Baldwin. So you and Mrs. Jane?

What? Oh no no no. She's my partner and my best friend but that's all.

Oh is she? Well then, you must know quite a lot about her.

I guess you could say so but we need to talk. I want to know; what's your relationship with the Carters?

Well, I first met Jeffery on the night of the family's murder. He was still covered in blood and I couldn't let him just roam around. I had seen what he had done to the other kids before the incident and I knew he was special.

Wait, you said there was other kids?

Do you not know? Jeffery was attacked by three boys that go by the names of Keith, Toby and Randy. They are the real reason that caused the murders. They burnt Jeff and he was hospitalized. He killed his parents the day he went home. Did Jane not tell you this?

Well, no but, I'm sure she didn't mean to. After all, we haven't had much time to talk abo-

Oh come on Alex. You were a part of the Carters court case and you were never told? I feel like Jane hasn't told you everything.

Why wouldn't she tell me? She's my best friend and she has to tell me everything.

Of course... She did tell you who she's working for, right?

Well I would hope so since we both work for Baldwin and Hungrass.

Are you sure?

Of course I'm sure! How many times do I have to remind you that we-

You're partners. Yes, I got that. But do you not know?

Know what?

Your girlfriend is an SCP member.

Two things. One, she's not my girlfriend and two, why the hell would she be working for them? She's a lawyer, not a scientist. She's too afraid to even talk in court let alone be around freaks like you.

Hehe, that's one I haven't heard in a while. But yes, I am a freak and Jane is a lot braver than you think. She has more guts than a lot of my proxys have. She may not seem like it but she has hunter instincts and would be a perfect addition to the PET but I don't think she'd want to.

Alright. That's enough for today. Thank you for talking.

Oh, one more thing before you go. Tell Jane that Slate Thunder has struck again.

As I finished reading, I looked up to see Alex's usually happy face, plastered with a saddening glare. "Well? When were you going to tell me?"

I wanted to curl up in a ball and just cry. I had to lie to my best friend and I couldn't bare to loose him. "I wasn't allowed to tell you. They said if I told anyone, they would kill me and the person. I didn't want you to worry about me and I sure as hell didn't want to see you get killed." I wanted to cry but I was full with more rage than sadness. "And Slate Thunder is what I'm trying to stop. If I let them go, it means the end to the SCP and all the anomalous items will be released and that will be the end of mankind as we know it.

His eyes widened and he sat back in a chair across from me. He ran a hand through his hair and I felt a warm liquid running down my arm. My nails had dug into my arms when I was yelling and I caused myself to bleed. Was I really that angry? I was about to yell again when I heard a small knock at the door. I nodded to Alex and we both drew our guns and held them at our sides as I opened the door.

Luke, Jeffery and Aburee all stood there. It was strange to see that Aburee was able to get out of her cell and then it hit me, she was Operator... It was starting to all make sense. How she was able to convince people, her knowledge. She was a proxy but it never hit me.

The Operators are the leaders of all Proxys. The Grimm brothers, The Losts.. All an SCP worker could ever hope to find and I had one standing before me. I felt as if my head was going to explode and thats when Alex hit me in the back of the head. "Damn Jane, you're out of it today. Let the kids in." I stepped away from the door and let the three in. They all took a seat and I sighed.

"Miss Harthen. How did you get out of your room?"

She giggled and looked up at me, "That's classified." I rolled my eyes and noticed Jeff carving something into the table.

"Hey asshat, what are you doing?" Alex must have notice it as well but instead of saying anything, I replied for him.

"The Operator symbol. I knew it but I wanted to make sure. Miss Harthen, do you happen to know a girl around your age named Amy?

"Aburee chuckled and Luke gave her a strange glare as she spoke, "How long did you know?"

"Before I met you I knew. You didn't do a very good cover up. You just can't get rid of the red hair and green eyes now can you?" I didn't care what I said anymore since I was already breaking policy and I knew this may be the way out. If I could get an Operator under SCP custody, I would be able to leave the Foundation and I'd finally be free of the hell I was sucked into.

Jeff kicked his feet up on the desk, "So, what are we gonna do? We can't just waltz out the front door." Luke rolled his eyes, "Jane isn't stupid."

Alex then bashed his hand against the table and yelled, "Alright. What the hell is going on? Whatever is going on, I am either too old to figure this out or you all aren't makin any sense. Someone explain or I.. I... " He sat back down and he looked so confused.

"Alright. Here's the plan. We just wait for Tobys signal and then we should have three minutes to walk out the front doors. He has cut all communication with the MAPD and the call, if any are made, will be directed back to the main desk. Jeff, go get Sally. Luke, get Ben and Jack. Meet us back here and then we will figure out the rest." I stood up and grabbed my bag as the three proxys walked out and headed towards the elevator. Before I could walk out, Alex grabbed my arm and pulled me back. "What are you doing Jane? This isn't like you. "

His blue eyes shone in the off lighting and I sighed, " There is a group of us SCP officers. We don't agree with keeping objects under close watch. We are Project Slate Thunder, also known as the Chaos Insurgency. I'm sorry Alex but, I can't let you go. You know too much already.."
