A Sister's Questions:

Heskes Household:

Joshua was sitting in the living room watching the news when Jayden walked through the door. Her boyfriend Antonio was not with her but he could tell that they had just been together, probably him who dropped her off. Though Jayden had her own car, it was Joshua who drove it the most. Antonio normally picked Jayden up from home and dropped her off on the weekends. Though Jayden owned the house, she was normally at the college campus all week so she didn't have to keep driving back and forth from school and home. She would normally come home on the weekends to see how Joshua was doing if he hadn't stopped by the school before the weekend. Jayden had heard, just like everyone else, about the cop that had disappeared nearly two weeks ago. She was surprised to see Joshua sitting in front of the television watching the news, though she shouldn't have been surprised.

Watching the news had become a big thing with the Heskes siblings since their younger sister Muriella had been kidnapped back in 1996. Though Jayden had grown a lot in the years that they had looked for Muriella, she had also forgiven Carey Petrowski once the trial was over. Not only was Muriella a victim, but for the first time since she had turned her own father in, Carey had also been labeled a victim. Though Carey wanted to forget about her past, there was definitely no way Joshua was going to forgive Carey or her father until Muriella's body was found and they could truly bury their sister with a real grave and everything. For all they knew, Muriella could be alive somewhere, according to Joshua that was, and they would never know because they had stopped looking for her.

Jayden went and sat down next to Joshua, turning the television off in the process. They never talked anymore and it was bothering her to know that her brother was keeping secrets from her. He had been seen disappearing into some old abandoned warehouses within the past few weeks and was wondering if it had anything to do with the missing cop. Joshua turned to his sister and looked at her. He saw that she wanted to talk, but he really didn't want to talk. He just wanted to get back to the warehouse and continue to torture Carey, who had yet to tell him where her father had buried Muriella and all the other girls. Jayden was watching him as his thoughts ran through his head, trying to figure out what her brother was thinking about. She finally started to talk to him, when he stood up, shoved her out of the way and stormed out of the house.

Joshua was headed back to the warehouse, to continue to try and get something out of Carey. In the past two weeks, he had not only electrocuted her, he had also beaten her with a metal bat, a whiffle bat covered in barbed wire, used a knife on her legs and arms as well as parts of her torso and abdomen. He had pummeled her with his fists, sprayed her in freezing cold water and even raped her a few times. She endured it all, knowing that there was a possibility of someone finding her. It kept her alive, even though she knew that her chances of survival dimmed with every day he held her.

The Warehouse:

Joshua stormed down the steps, waking Carey from semi-consciousness. He was pissed and she could tell that she was going to get an extra-long session of torture that day. The torture she could deal with, it was the rapes that she couldn't deal with. She knew that he would eventually kill her, but why leave any evidence in her at all that would link him to her if she was ever found? It didn't make any sense to her, even though she was only a rookie. The evil smile on his face told her he was about to do something he had yet to do to her.

He uncuffed her from the chair he'd kept her cuffed to since the batteries had died out and he was unable to electrocute her anymore. He moved her to the metal tub he had put down next to the wire bed frame and made her stand inside it. He then grabbed the ice he'd brought with him the day before and forcing Carey to sit on her knees, poured the ice on top of her. She screamed as the ice pummeled her body and injuries. By the time all the ice was on top of her, only her head was visible and Carey had stopped screaming. He grabbed one of the many knives he'd stocked up on and bent down so that he was facing her. He laughed and she tried to close her eyes, but he slapped her which meant he wanted her to watch what he did next.

He pulled Carey's arm out of the ice, moved the knife just above her elbow and pushed the blade into her skin. Though her arm was numb and she could not feel the pain, she knew that the pain was there and she still screamed. She stopped screaming when he pulled the knife away. He had etched so many words into her body that she had lost count of what they all said. It hurt to know that she would always have the etched words on her skin no matter what. She would have to look at them when she took a shower, if she was ever rescued that was. He moved away from her and to the stairs once again. She was forced to sit in the tub of ice until it melted down and then he came back to the tub and took her out, forcing her into the chair once again and cuffing her to it once again. He left then, probably to wherever he went when he wasn't torturing her. She shivered, knowing that the day was far from over.

15th District:

The members of the 15th and the two detectives from the 27th were scouring over all the information from the Petrowski serial killer case, looking for any information that would help them find one of their own before it was too late. Though there had been many tips as to where the missing officer might have been taken, none of them had panned out and everyone was on edge, trying desperately to find her alive before they ended up just finding a body. Nobody wanted to find the body of Carey Petrovic, but if they didn't get a lead soon as to where she might be, they knew that the next time they actually saw her, she would be dead.

Jayden Heskes walked into the 15th intent on talking to someone regarding her brother. There was no way he had anything to do with the missing officer, but Jayden had known that Carey had had her last name legally changed to Petrovic once she had turned eighteen which meant that her brother could have had something to do with her disappearance. There were two officers at the front desk when she walked up that didn't seem to be busy. She waited for them to look up and when they finally did, she gave them a vague smile.

"Can we help you with anything, mam?" Nash asked.

"Um, yes, I need to talk to someone regarding my brother. I know you're all busy trying to find your missing cop, but I really need to talk to someone. I think he might have done something bad."

"Okay, let me get Det. Callaghan for you. You can talk to him regarding what you think your brother might have done. Can I get your name so I can tell him?"

"Yes, it's Jayden Heskes. And please hurry."

"I'll be right back."

Nash headed to get Callaghan who was talking with Barber, Swarek and Shaw about talking to the family of the victims that Jacob Petrowski had killed. When she walked up Barber looked up and gave a vague smile.

"What can we do for you Tracy?" Barber asked.

"There is a Jayden Heskes here that wants to talk to someone regarding her brother. She thinks he might have hurt someone."

"Did you say Heskes?" Shaw asked.

"Yes, why is that of some significance?"

"Yea, one of the victims of Jacob Petrowski was a Muriella Heskes. Nash, bring Mrs. Heskes back. She may be the lead we've been looking for."

"I'm headed back to the front desk now."

"Excuse me, but I didn't mean to eavesdrop. I'm Jayden Heskes. Why are you going through the case of Mr. Petrowski? He doesn't have anything to do with the missing cop does he?"

"Ms. Heskes I told you that I would bring the Detective to you."

"I understand that, but my brother has never acted this way before and it is scaring me."

"What's your brother's name Jayden?" Swarek asked.

"His name is Joshua. I thought he was doing better, getting over Muriella's death, but I guess I was wrong. I forgave Carey after the trial, told her I didn't blame her for the death of our sister. She had her last name legally changed to Petrovic when she turned eighteen. Though she hasn't kept in touch with most of the other family members of her father victims, I bumped into her at one of my favorite coffee places about two months ago. We had a coffee and she again expressed her apologies for what her father had done. If my brother has done anything to hurt her, I want to know just as badly as you do. We were actually starting to become close friends. She was the last person to see my sister alive and in some weird sense, I think Muriella would want us to be friends. Joshua thinks that Muriella is still alive and I think he thinks that Carey might know where Muriella and the rest of the victims are, even though she said that she never knew where he buried them during his trial. Sorry, I'm getting off topic. The reason I am here is because I think Joshua has Carey somewhere in one of the old warehouses out by the lakes, a little off in the country. I think I remembered hearing that there was a drug bust at one of the warehouses and my brother has been seen by some of my friends from school going into one of the warehouses these past few weeks that Carey has been missing. Does that help any?"

"Actually, I think your rambling did help. If you will stay here, we'll go check them out and let you know if your brother is there with our officer."

"Actually, I was thinking I would go home just in case he decides to come back home for the night. I can call you if he does or have my boyfriend call you. He'll be at the house with me this weekend."

"That sounds fine as well. Thank you for the information Ms. Heskes."

"You're welcome officers, anything I can do to help. Goodbye."

Jayden left the 15th and headed home with Antonio. He had stayed outside while she had gone inside to talk to the police. He didn't know much about her past but knew that her little sister had been killed by a serial killer, but that she had forgiven the killer's own daughter and they had started to become friends in the last month or so. They headed back to the house, knowing that turning Joshua in was going to be the hardest decision that Jayden would ever have to make regarding her family.
