Roxy Sternberg: Special Agent Sheryll Barnes
Quotes
-
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : It's like chum in the water. Invent a conspiracy, throw it on the boards, next thing you know, it's gospel.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : If the target was the bakery, then why kill the Littles at an NA meeting?
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Maybe Eva's addiction? She's angry at her inability to recover?
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Well, it could be, but I'm more concerned about what's next. How many posts are on those boards?
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Thousands.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Thousands? Well, according to Smit, any one of them could be taken as the next hit.
-
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : New deal, people. Our fugitive has a bomb.
Special Agent Kenny Crosby : Seriously?
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Yep.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Z-All didn't tell Eva to kill the Littles. She did it on her own to get their attention like an audition.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : She made it look like her next step was to blow up that meeting yesterday, but she never planned on killing the councilman. She just wanted Z-All to think she would.
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Why?
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : According to Dennis, they parcel out their top-secret documents on a quid pro quo basis. She needs them to trust her. That way, she gets into the inner circle.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Getting Dennis' attention, enabling her access to his bomb.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : The question now is, where is she going with it?
-
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : [after talking to Eva's parents] Talk about an overbearing father. The whole living room was a shrine to the perfect daughter.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : It is not a crime to have high expectations for your kid.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : As long as you're there for them when they fall.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : So now he's the one who has the blood of three people on his hands?
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Eva's responsible for her own actions, I agree with you. But you can't deny the ripple effect. She spent the first half of her life raising her father's expectations and the second half beating herself up 'cause she couldn't meet 'em.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : And it's Stephen who's going to suffer. Poor kid. He's the same age as Anais.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : NA was clearly a sticking point. Eva was in denial. Her father knew that.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : So she steals his gun, then uses his car to drive to the crime scene? Maybe she's lashing out at him for his helicopter parenting.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : And goes after strangers in Connecticut? I don't think this is about her dad. Eva killed the Littles for her own reasons. Let's hope this laptop can tell us why.
-
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Hana, what do we got?
Special Agent Hana Gibson : This ray of sunshine is Eva Martin. 31 years old. She walked into a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in Stanford last night with a 9-millimeter Beretta. Opened fire, killing three.
Special Agent Kenny Crosby : I'm guessing she didn't stick around for coffee and donuts.
Special Agent Hana Gibson : She left her prints on both exit doors. Security footage has her fleeing the scene in a gray sedan. Plates belong to her father, a James Martin in Newark.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Was she in the system?
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Yeah. Priors for possession. Opioids, five years ago. We've got an APB out.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : What's our motive? Drug deal gone sideways, maybe?
Special Agent Kenny Crosby : Or a crime of passion. Half the people at these meetings are usually sleeping together.
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Doubtful. The group leader told local PD that this was Eva's first meeting at that location. Nobody knew her.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : What about the victims?
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Well, the guy on the floor is Stanley Keel. Three years sober, no family, worked part-time as a security guard. The couple in the corner is Sal and Lucy Little. Married, no kids. They'd been in recovery for over 15 years. Pillars of the NA community.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Look at the blood splatter. Our security guard tried to play hero. Got between Eva and the Littles. She dropped him, and she tracked his blood all the way to the back and shot them both.
Special Agent Kenny Crosby : So the Littles were the target.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : She shot 'em point-blank. She wasn't messing around. Anything on next of kin?
Special Agent Hana Gibson : Nothing. The only family they had are their employees at the mom-and-pop pastry shop they opened. Little Bakes and Treats in Westport.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Okay, Barnes and I'll cover Eva's family in Jersey. You two hit the bakery.
Special Agent Kenny Crosby : Sweet! Croissant o'clock!

Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : Charlotte wants another baby.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : And you don't?
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : I don't know what I want.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Two kids, a lot to handle.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : That's what I told her. But it's more than that. I worry about Anais every day. You and I see it all the time. There's so much evil in this world. So much hate. And I can plan for every possible contingency, and still, I have zero guarantee my kid's gonna be okay.
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : You're catastrophizing.
Special Agent Sheryll Barnes : [scoffing] Oh. You don't worry about Tali?
FBI FTF SSA Jess LaCroix : Constantly. And you're right, there's no guarantee. That's why we just do the best we can. You me, Eva's dad. The only way to combat evil in this world is to bring more good into it.
