Missing Pieces Part VI

== Official Summary ==
Elijah and his faithful have retreated to their ramshackle fortress deep in the Everglades. There, the final ritual is begun as Elijah seeks to actualize his vision. With backup too distant for an immediate response to the crisis, Kiera, Mitch, and Pierce must use whatever means necessary contain and the situation.
That is, if Pierce can get out of the alligator's mouth.
== Detailed Recap ==
Pierce wriggles free from the gator's jaws, and Mitch destroys it with his arm cannon. Back on the boat, the three of them discuss their next move. Pierce says the primary objective of the mission is to capture Elijah and bring him back to ORPHEUS. Mitch sends in a report using his communicator, and the reply says a containment team will arrive in 2 hours, and they are to monitor and prevent anyone or anything from escaping. Pierce is worried Elijah may have had an insight from the secret journal he wouldn't let him see, and feels they need to move quickly. 
The three of them return to the car and get their weapons and other gear. They pilot the boat into the swamp to a large floating island covered in ramshackle sheds. It is hot and smells even more like decay than a swamp usually does. They spread out around the island stealthily, with Pierce being particularly undetectable thanks to his occult ability to circumvent normal physics. He disables the boats so no one can leave. 
Elijah's voice is broadcast on PA speakers tucked away around the island. Music begins playing, similar to that played inside the tent, but the time the hypnotic humming is much more prominent. Mitch and Pierce cram mud in their ears to block out the sound, and Kiera tries to plug hers with cigarette butts. 
Someone from the Congregation sees Kiera and approaches her in a non-threatening, almost helpful manner. She pretends to be crying, and he comes close in an attempt to comfort her. She kicks him in the crotch with stunning force -- literally stunning, and he falls unconscious. She is faced with a horrible choice: Leave a potential threat alive, or kill an innocent man.
