Waiting for Superman
Chapter 4 Red Rover
Morgan was still at the house three hours later after being in the basement processing it for an hour and a half. She took an hour break from it over at the Denali relaxing and rubbing her temples. It was a lot for her to take in such a short time. But she has to go back to working at the house in the backyard while Greg works on the front yard.
She got up from sitting in the trunk of the Denali going out and closed the trunk on up. She went over to the backyard and with her kit opening it up. She started walking around seeing if there was anything there. She looked at the bushes as they were moving for some odd reason. So she went over there holding her breath and putting her hand to the bush then brought it to the side. There was just a squirrel there as it looked at her.
She took a breath then straightened her back as she went back to a standing position and went back to looking around. There has to be something there that would help her out with the case. Something the killer-slash-kidnapper left behind. Was it the same person or was it two different people entirely?
She went over to the window to see if any dust was disturbed, if there were footprints or even a flowerbed messed up. She looked at it seeing nothing right there. It was just her luck as she can't find anything outside and out back in the yard.
"Hey Morgan." said Julie Finlay coming over
"Hey Finn. Just coming here?" asked Morgan
"Yeah I heard about the guy Paul Quinn being murdered and a young baby boy being kidnapped." told Finn as she was holding her kit
"Yeah tragedy." said Morgan in almost a whisper
"So I talked to the medics. Arabella will be okay, nothing major happened, she's just in shock. Apparently she lives here with her uncle Paul because her father's dead himself and her mother is in France for a work thing for about six months to a year." explained Finn going over Morgan's whisper
Morgan looked at Finn right there as she was talking and thinking at the same time. She never understood the method but has been ignoring it when it happens. Although Julie Finlay is nice she comes out as a little headstrong at moments.
"Uh . . . Finn can you go talk to Arabella maybe she has something that can help us." said Morgan
"Yeah sure of course." replied Finn
Finn grabbed her kit and left the backyard going over to the ambulance where Arabella was. Morgan could see that Finn was a bit irritated that she ordered her to leave and talk to the girl. But somebody has to do it and she's busy looking in the backyard for any trace or evidence she could. She might not be having any luck but she's still searching.
She was starting to wonder if there was another reason she sent Finn off to the ambulance. Was it so she could have a clear mind? To think of her co-worker Greg Sanders? Was she starting to have feelings for the guy? Did she actually like him? If she does and starts dating him it would go against department policy. Of how co-workers working on the same shift shouldn't go out. It could jeopardize both of them and their jobs.
Stop it.
Why?
Don't think about your co-worker.
Even if you may have feelings.
Morgan moved from where she stood going to the side where she saw footprints there from something like possibly tar or some weird substance she can't think of. She grabbed her camera taking pictures from two different angles. Then she grabbed a swab swabbing one of prints of the substance then closed it.
She was getting more tired by the moment. She's been there for about five hours now. She did take a small break but couldn't take a nap. Her vision was getting blurred more and more as it was disappearing. She moved but was stumbling on her feet. Finally she tripped and fell to the ground going on her back and her vision went blank.
Greg was in the front yard taking pictures of the entry as he found footprints there with a substance. He has already swabbed it and enclosed it. Now he was doing some documenting with pictures. He kept at working even though he knows that Finn is there and talking to the girl, Arabella. But he was avoiding all of that trying to focus on his job.
He moved from the footprints and went over to a bush and saw something caught right there. He inched on forward getting to it slowly. He stopped and took six pictures of it right there three from one angle and three from another angle. He then put his hand in grabbing it seeing it was a piece of paper with faded writing there. He took out a plastic Ziploc bag and put it in then zipped it up.
He got back up holding his camera and the Ziploc bag in both hands. He put the bag in a pocket of his of his CSI vest. He then went back to looking in the front of the house for anything else.
Lost and afraid
With everything just minutes away
Who I am is who I want to be
Why was he thinking of those three phrases inside of his head at the moment. It was like a message that he doesn't understand but that he should understand it. Why do they sound familiar? Where have he heard of them before?
When you were always by my side
But time and time again
Please don't let me go and just save me now
I can't touch your hand I just want to be your saving grace
Okay this was confusing him even more. A few more lines popped into his head that he remembered from somewhere. It was like they were telling him a message. But why was this happening?
He decided to walk to the backyard but slowly. His feet weren't in pace with his mind. They were totally out of sync but they kept on going. He turned to the left of the house going in the back. He gasped and started on running over seeing Morgan.
"Morgan!" shouted Greg running over "Morgan!"
He stopped going to his knees to the side of her body and putting his hand to her wrist and elbow. He tried to shake her a little bit but she wasn't budging at all. Her eyes wouldn't open.
"Come on Morgan." muttered Greg trying to wake her but she wouldn't. He really cares about her more than anything. He's had feelings for her since the moment he first met her and was instantly smitten. "Morgan."
