Description
Rosalie is a kind single mother, putting her adoptive daughter Rachel through college. But, she keeps one big secret from her daughter, Rosalie is a member of the BCPU. She tells everyone she works for a real estate company, which is a cover provided by the BCPU but is still a blatant lie.
Because the BCPU might need her at any moment, Rosalie keeps some of her gear in her home, but, in fear of her daughter finding out her lie, she has stashed most of her spare uniforms in the attic.
One day, Rachel was looking through the house, looking for who knows what, was she bored? was she stressed? It did not matter, she was searching for something. Rosalie initially paid it no mind, but that changed when Rachel pulled down the ladder and went up to the attic.
fearing that her secret might be discovered, Rosalie grabbed some of the gear she had put aside in her bedroom and quietly went up to the attic as well. There she saw Rachel, illuminated by the single light bulb in the attic, rummaging through the large suitcase Rosalie had hidden there. Rachel did not notice the BCPU markings on the back of the sweater she was holding but was still investigating the strange clothes.
Seeing this, Rosalie was left with no choice, if she didn’t interfere now, her secret would be discovered. Quickly and quietly she put on her gas mask, and one of the BCPU’s knock-out gas-emitting gloves, she approached Rachel from behind, and in one motion grabbed her by the shoulder and placed her gloved hand over her mouth and nose. She whispered “Lights out sweetie.” and activated the glove. A bust of green knock-out fumes shot from the palm of the glove, straight into Rachel's mouth and nose, knocking her out within seconds.
With Rachel was out cold, Rosalie put her in her bed, and she would sleep for at least four hours. During this time, Rosalie hid her tools and uniforms in another, more secure location. and went on with her day, as if nothing happened. She didn’t like having to gas her own daughter, but it was for her the best. If she were to find out about her mother’s job, she might be put in danger, or worse, grow to resent her.
A few hours later, Rachel awoke in her bed, with a slight headache and no recollection of how she ended up there. Her last memory was of wanting to look for something in the attic, so to find out what happened she went up there again but found nothing.
When Rachel asked about the attic or what happened, Rosalie told her she didn’t know what she was talking about and that she was probably tired from the long hours at her college.

The glove, as suggested by him, is based on an episode of Totally Spies.
