I walk outside and the bright light assaults my eyes.
Once my eyes adjust to the light I see Spike, Ed, and Wordy all staring at me. I take a deep breathe, school my features, and walk towards them.
"Jules, what the hell was that?" Ed asks.
'Nothing lets keep our mind on the job, the faster we find the missing kid the faster we can leave." I say.
I head to the truck and take a seat. I let out a gust of breathe before memories come flooding back to me.
Flash Back:
A young Julianna Callaghan, no older than 16 stood over a man. With shaking hands she pulled the trigger ending his life. A strangled cry escaped her lips as she looked down upon the lifeless body that was the only sound she made. No tears escaped her eyes, no pain, she just felt relief.
All of a sudden there was a pounding on the door before it was broken down by Mark…
Present Day…
I take another deep breathe and do some research to see why someone would want to kidnap Mark and Madeline's daughter.
After Spike and I do some research we come to the conclusion that all lines draw back to my hometown.
I grudgingly climbed out of the truck with Spike. Guess it was time to face the others.
"Jules what do you have?" Sarge asked.
'It seems Mark and Madeline have severed all ties in Madison Hat and came to live here 9 years ago approximately 5 months before their daughter Jenna was born. Mark works as a mechanic and Madeline as a nurse at the local hospital." I say giving them the facts.
"Ok. Jules care to explain what this morning was about?" Sarge asks me while giving me a pointed stare.
"Nope, but I have a personal connection to this case, it may affect my judgement so I should be taken off." I say.
"Has personal emotions ever gotten in the way of your work before?" sarge asks.
"No." I answer meakly.
"Good its settled than you will remain on the case."
I just sigh in defeat. This is going to be fun.
