~Chapter 4~

September 26, 2008

It was a sunny Friday at Toranto. Greg was just getting into SRU when his phone rang. He looked at it and saw it was Lily's number. It has been about two months since they met. They would meet up with each other or bump into each other. They saw each other so much that they exchanged numbers just last month. They weren't dating or anything. They were just really good friends. He smiled a little at the phone and answered it.

Greg: Hello?

Lily: Hey Sarge what are you up to?

Lily was in her home office doing paperwork. He chuckled at the fact that she mostly calls him Sarge like her brother does.

Greg: Nothing. I just got to work. Everything ok?

Lily: Yeah. Everything is great. The team is doing really well and the business is booming. In fact this is why I called. There is a press party at the Golden York Hotel tonight and...I'm scared to go alone.

Greg: You want me to be your date.

Lily: Not as a date but as a friend. I would have asked Lou to go with me but he has plans with Spike. I didn't want to interrupt their guys night. Look I know this is last minute but it was suppose to be next month. But the people who booked it lost their date to make it tonight. I understand if you are busy.

Greg: I'll see ok? You know my job makes me stay out late right?

Lily: I know. I just wanted to know if you would like to go. Its totally up to you.

Unknown to them Winnie and Jules were listening in.

Greg: Maybe. I'll give you a call a little later ok?

Lily: Ok. Bye.

Greg: Bye.

Then they hung up.

Jules: What was that about?

Greg: Nothing. Just a call.

Winnie: Boss I would go.

Greg: Hey.

Winnie: I didn't easedrop I was at my desk. The phone was a little loud.

Greg: Sorry I just...

Jules: Its ok. Come on. Change and we can talk.

They walked to the locker rooms and he went to the men's room to change. After five minutes he came out of the men's room in uniform. Jules was waiting for him.

Jules: Ok. Tell me what's up?

Greg: It was Lily that called me.

Jules: I knew it. What's the problem?

Greg: She...asked me out. In a way.

Jules: In what way?

Greg: She has this press party and she wants me to go with her.

Jules: As a date?

Greg: As a friend.

Jules: So what's the problem?

Before he could answerthey heard that familiar alarm.

Winnie: Team One hot call.

Greg: Well we got to go do what we do best.

Jules: Lets Keep the Peace.

So then they left the room and went to the lobby.

Wordy: What's up Winnie?

Winnie: We have a child abduction in Downtown Square at WindBerry Park. The father was getting his seven year old daughter Lisa Kyle ice cream while she was playing witha friend. When he came back she was gone.

Greg: Alright Team One gear up.

So then they did just that and left in their SUVs. They drove out to the park where the father waited for them.


Jules and Greg got out of their SUV and walked towords the officer with the father.

Officer: He is all your Sargent.

Greg: Thanks.

Then the officer walked away to his crusier.

Greg: Hi. I'm Sargent Greg Parker and this is Jules Callaghan. We're with the Stratigic Response Unit.

Father: Johnny Martin.

Jules: Wanna tell us what happened here?

Johnny: My daughter and I come here all the time when her mother is stuck in the office. When we came my daughter saw one of her friends from school and his mom. So I let them play together. Eventually they asked for ice cream. So I left with June, Elliot's mother. The people who we saw today to the truck that was just by the fountain. Since there was no line it only took a minute. We kept on looking at the children to see if they were alright. But when we turned to pay and we came back we saw that Elliot was alone. So we came down and asked him where was Lisa and he told us her mom came and took her. I thought it was his imagination but I called her anyway and she told me Lisa wasn't there. I was then upset and I question him and questioned him until he cried and then I realized he wasn't lying. So I called 911.

Jules: Do you know where June is now with Elliot?

Johnny: With another officer. She gave her statement already and he took them home. I never got to apologize.

Jules: What do you do for a living?

Johnny: I do survalince for the city. I run the city survalince system at local PD. Since my job isn't so demanding as my wife's I get to spend more time with Lisa.

Jules: We'll need your security codes.

Johnny: Of course. Anything to help find her.

So then they walked towords the command truck.

Greg: You here that Team One? Lou and Sam I need you to stick around to get evidence. Eddie and Wordy I need you guys to talk to June and her son. Spike I need you to look at security tapes.

Everyone: Copy that.

So then everyone went to do their jobs to see what they could find. Spike found the video they needed. They saw that Johnny was telling the truth on his side of the story. Ed found June and her son and they were telling the truth too. They saw a woman pick the girl up and walked away from Elliot. It was like Lisa reconized her and let her pick her up and leave without a fight.

Greg: Johnny do you reconize her?

Johnny: Yeah. That's my wife.

Jules: What? You said that she didn't have Lisa.

Johnny: She didn't have her. She was at work.

Greg: Then where is she now? Obviously she must be hiding or else she would be here.

Then the door opened and the same woman on the tapes came inside with Lou.

Lou: Boss I found her driving up to the park.

Jules: Mrs. Kyle where is your daughter?

Mrs. Kyle: Call me Risana. And I don't know. I just heard on the news that she was missing. I had to leave the office to come here. What is going on?

Greg: Ma'am why is it that we have you on camera taking your daughter from the park?

She looked.

Risana: That's not me.

Johnny: Risa you are wearing the exact same outfit on the tapes and that is your voice on them. So tell me. Where is she?

Risana: I don't know! You can call my office. I was in a meating all morning and midafternoon. You can call them.

Jules: We will.

Greg: Team One new deal. A possibility of an imposter.

Jules just got off her phone with Risana's boss.

Jules: Boss her alaby checks out. She was at work the whole time until she saw the news. She freaked out and ran out the door. You getting this Sam?

Sam: Copy that Jules. But how can she be two places at the same time?

Jules: Unless... Risana do you have a sister?

Risana: Yeah? An identical twin why?

Jules: When was the last time you saw or heard from her?

Risana: Yesterday. It was utter nonsence. Saying that Lisa wasn't my baby.

Greg: How so?

Risana: She said that the hospital called her for a meeting about a mix up in the records. We were both pregnent at the same time and went into labor that same night. During our deliveries the power went out for about a minute and it came back up. My baby made it but Liesana's didn't. She was crushed but she cope after 3 years and helped us take care of Lisa. But yesterday when she said that Lisa was switched out by mistake. But I didn't beleive her. She is a mini me.

Greg: But you two are twins. How do you know for sure.

Risana: I just know. Lisa is mine. Please find her.

Johnny: But why didn't you tell me about this?

Risana: Because you didn't need to know. She was delusional. She sounded drunk.

Johnny: But Li' does not drink.

Risana: I know what drunk sounds like! Now don't you dare question me again.

Greg: Calm down folks this is not helping. Jules talk with the hospital to see if this phone call really happened.

Jules: Copy that.

Then she left.

Greg: Now are you sure she doesn't drink?

Johnny: I'm possitive. The only thing that is is even a form of alcolhal she drinks is beer. And its always one or two. She is clean.

Greg: How would you know that?

Johnny:...We use to date. She introduced me to her family and I saw Risana and that was that.

Greg: What made her so different from her sister?

Johnny: I don't know, I guess its because that Risa was more...girly.

Greg: Liesana was a tomboy.

Johnny: Yeah.

Greg: How did she take the break up?

Johnny: Not well. Excuse me how is this helping us find our daughter?

Greg: We are trying to find out all of the possibilities on finding out why she took her and trying to learn all we can about her.


Meanwhile, Jules was at the hospital with Ed who decided to tag along. They were talking to the doctors from the deliveries and the caller.

Jules: So why the power went out?

Dr. Mitch Tyson: There was a storm outside that knocked out the power to the main generator. A minute later the back up came up and we went back to work.

Ed: Was this before or after the births?

Nurse Kayla Bradly: After. We had to clean them up and put them into the system. After we did the power went out. But it came back up.

Jules: What happened?

Kayla: It was really late and I was half asleep when it came back on. I didn't even think to check to see if it switched or not.

Ed: Why now?

Mitch: Every ten years we look over the records to make them go digital. Back then we didn't have more advanced computers like we do now. We read them over to see if we missed anything or we miss typed something. I noticed that for the twins that there was a mistake. Risana's baby was the one that didn't make it. Liesana's was healthy as a horse. I remember because I was the one that delieverd her into the world. I had a family emergency as soon I was done and I had to leave for two weeks. So I couldn't have known about the mix up until yesterday.

Kayla: I called Liesana yesterday to tell her about it. She was hystarical. She was suppose to bring the child and the other parents down to us to discuss it. I even sent her files as proof to her and the other parents. Here.

She gave them another copy of the files and they read them over.

Jules: Boss you heard any of that?

Ed: Liesana had proof that Lisa was her child so she wasn't so drunk and delusional after all. On our way back with the files. We just sent them to the truck now.


Back at the truck...

Greg: Yeah thanks Ed.

The papers were printed and Spike took them out the printer.

Spike: You lied to us. You said that she was crazy and had no proof. Well she did. Look at this.

He gave them to Johnny and Risana was nervous and tried to take them.

Risana: No. No John please don't.

He looked at her.

Johnny: I can't beleive it. You knew Lisa wasn't ours didn't you? Why?

Risana: When I first held her I knew she was mine. And no one can have her. Just like always. Everything is mine and mine alone.

Greg: You are use to have everything given to you on a silver platter. You took everything your sister ever wanted and had. All to be superior. You even stole the boyfriend just for a hoot right?

Risana: You have no idea what you're talking about.

Greg: Oh I don't? So tell me what did you do to get everything huh? What?

Risana: This is not helping. You better help us get our baby back now!

Greg: Except that she isn't yours. And you knew that.

Then Winnie called out Team One.

Winnie: Hey Sarge we have a sighting on Liesana's car. Its a blue Pries it was seen on West heading for the Abandand Movie Theature that she currently owns now.

Greg: Team One lets go.

Then they drove out to the Theature and they got into formation. Greg found Liesana on stage holding Lisa in her arms.

Greg: Liesana?

She looked up at him.

Liesana: Who are you?

Greg: I'm Sargent Greg Parker. I'm with the Stratigic Reponce Unit. I want to help.

Liesana: Didd Risana send you. One of her payed flunkies to ship me off to the louny bin?

Greg: No. I'm not. We know about what happened. We want to help.

Liesana: I was trying to protect her. Lisa may look like the both of us but she is mine. When I told her about it she laughed. She didn't even want a baby. It was just to gloat to me. When I told her that Lisa wasn't her's it just gave her another reason to gloat. She didn't love her. Just kept her as a trophy. She even threatened me that if I told anyone she would...

She began to cry.

Liesana: She would kill her. That's why I took her to protect her. I knew Johnny wouldn't listen to me. So I dressed up like Risa to get Lisa to come with me quietly.

Greg: Why not tell the police. They would have beleived you.

Liesana: It was my word against her's. She is a big shot lawyer so she can get away with anything. I've seen it. For years.

Greg: Well we beleive you. She confessed for lying about it. I understand why you did this. You did this all for Lisa. Your daughter.

Liesana: That's right. She's mine.

Lisa looked up.

Lisa: Mommy I want to go home now.

Liesana: What will happen if I go with you?

Greg: Well the police will take your statement and Risana will be questioned and there will be a trial. We need you to testify.

Liesana: Anything to keep Lisa safe.

Greg: Then come with me.

She thought about it for a minute and then got up with Lisa and walked with Greg outside. It was then over. Risana was taken into custidy and Liesana left with Lisa and Johnny.


So then Team One went back to the barn. It was about 5 so two more hours til quitting time. Jules then pulled Greg to the side.

Jules: Ok back to our conversation what's stopping you from going on the date?

He sighed and they sat down.

Greg: Because its been a long time since I've done this kind of thing.

Jules: But you guys hang out a lot so what's the problem?

Greg: We just went went over to each other's houses and called each other and meet for dinner. This is a real date.

Jules: But its not a date until you say its a real date. I've seen what she has been doing to you for the past few weeks. You two are comfortable and happy. Why won't you let yourself be happy?

Greg: Its because I'm scared I'll mess up.

Jules: But you are Sargent Gregory Parker. You can't get scared of a possibility of a slip up. Everything will be alright.


Later on that night...

Lily was wearing a purely white ball gown that was strapless with a sweater and white heels. Her hair was curled into a crown bun with a flowing tail coming out of it. She was just leaving her house when she saw Greg in a tux leaning against his car.

Greg: Who says that a Snow Princess could leave to the ball without her date.

She smiled and went up to him.

Lily: Greg? What are you doing here? I thought that-

Greg: No. I was just nervous. I would actually be honored to go with you.

Lily: Great. Lets go.

He helped her into the car and they drove off to go to the party.
