Chapter 3

Mary came back in with some soup and a sandwich along with a glass of milk, "Now you eat and I'll tell you all about what is expected of you."

Mary went on to tell Sara how Mr. King helps people who can't have a baby on their own and how he pays the women to have the baby.

"Mr. Jack and Mr. Joker recruit women just like I was," Mary said, "Mr. King helps them get pregnant then pays them ten thousand dollars for their baby which in turn he gives to a deserving couple."

"Then what happens to the girls?" Sara asked, even though she had a fairly good idea.

"Mr. Jack and Mr. Joker drive them back to where they were picked up," Mary said.

"And if they decided to keep their baby?" Sara asked.

"It is their right," Mary said, "Mr. Jack and Mr. Joker drive them back also but the girl has to pay Mr. King first, I mean after all, it is only fair. Mr. King takes care of them while they are here."

"So MR.," Sara said sarcastically, "King has sex with all these women?"

"Oh no," Mary said, "The man who will be the father donates his sperm and Mr. King implants it in the girls. I am the only one who has the privilege of servicing Mr. King."

By this time Sara was convinced that this poor girl was totally brainwashed. Sara already had it figured out, King impregnates the girls, keeps them prisoner here, sells the baby after it is born and then has the women murdered.

"Why did you not leave?" Sara asked.

"I fell in love with Mr. King," Mary said, "I begged him not to send me away. It was then that he said I could be his queen and he put me in charge of all the ladies, you know make sure they are alright with what is going on and take care of their needs."

"You have had a baby?" Sara asked.

"Two," Mary said, a tear in her eye, "One was given to their new parents and the other was born dead." Then she smiled, "But Mr. King said I can keep the next one because it was going to be his."

Sara now knew the story behind the baby in the trash can. "What happened to your baby?" Sara asked.

"Mr. Jack and Mr. Joker took him to a special place in town, Mr. King said that babies have to be taken care of right away."

"Where is the girl that came in with me?" Sara asked.

"Mr. King gave her five thousand dollars and sent her on her way. You see each girl gets examined and that young lady could not help us so Mr. King paid her fro her troubles and sent her home."

Somehow Sara knew that Gil would be seeing that one very soon.

Sara was right, Kelly's body turned up in a dumpster.

"This one could not have given birth so soon," Gil said to doc.

"This young lady could not give birth at all," Doc said, "She has had a total hysterectomy."

"So they killed her just to shut her up?" Gil said.

"It would appear that way," Doc said, "Everything else is the same as the other three."

Catherine walked in, "I just talked to Hannah. Three years ago Kelly was diagnosed with cancer, she had a total hysterectomy."

"I don't get it?" Gil said," Who is this man? The three who we have found have been in perfect health and obviously had good prenatal care."

Catherine shook her head, "He has to have some sort of medical background."

"Then that is where we start," Gil said, just as his phone rang.

"Gil, it's Jim. You have got to hear this. Can you come to the office?"

Grissom told him he would be there shortly.

A little later Gil was introduced to Miss Hill, a social worker.

"Can you please tell Mr. Grissom why you are here," Jim said.

"As I told Capt. Brass," Miss Hill said, "I was contacted by a lawyer, his clients adopted a baby three months ago through a private adoption. Well the poor thing took sick and its pediatrician seems to think it may be genetic so the parents tried to contact the man who gave them the baby, to see if he could help them find the birth parents."

Miss Hill took a breath and a drink of water, then she continued. "Well the man is no where to be found, the phone number is no longer valid either. The couple contacted their lawyer and he called me. We can find no records of KING PLACEMENT AGENCY so I thought it best to contact you."

"I have already set up an appointment to meet with the parents and the lawyer," Jim said, "So lets go."

Gil wanted to stay and help the others try to find Sara, but he also had a feeling that this was connected to what happened to her.

The parents could not tell Gil much more then what Miss Hill had, they did, however give a description of the man who called himself MR. KING and a location where they would meet. They also gave permission to talk to the baby's doctor.

A DNA sample was taken from the child and confirmed that the baby did belong to one of the three murdered women.

"Now if we can figure out who the father was we may just find the others," Greg said.

"And Sara," Gil said, just above a whisper.

After being feed and made presentable Sara was taken to meet the man in charge. "This is you luck day, Miss Sidle," King said, "Don't look so surprised, we have your wallet along with your ID. A criminologist? I don't think I have ever ran across one before."

Sara just stood there not saying anything.

"You are why to old to do me any good and I should just have Jack and Joker take care of you but Joker has taken a fancy to you so you will be allowed to live and be Jokers queen."

"I'd rather die," Sara said.

King walked over to her, " Be careful what you wish for. You wanted her, you take her," King said pushing Sara into the arms of the man they called Joker, "Have fun."

Joker snickered, "We will. Come one sweetie." Joker grabbed Sara by the arm and drug her off to a small room. Tossing her on the bed he said, "We'll have some fun when I get back." He slammed the door shut and locked it.

*** OK, I fibbed, it is going to be longer then then I thought it was. Have just had to may ideas to make it all fit in only two or three chapters. Hope no one minds? ****
