Recap:
(Caesars Palace Hotel & Casino: Room #345)
"So how long have the two of you known the others for?" Eric asked Ryan and Calleigh, sitting down beside Natalia.
"I've known Sara my whole life, we're cousins and we are also related to most of the people two at least from all the different states…" Ryan answered, "We never did know that Sara's and Warrick's daughter was still alive, we were all told by the doctor when she was really sick at the time that she was dead."
"And that was when their daughter was only five years old, they also have seven more kids… the one thing that surprised us was that she was carrying that many kids," Calleigh added on, "Though by the way the two of them were speaking I don't think they remember there other kids or even that she wasn't dead right after she was born… none of this makes any sense."
At the same time that they were talking, everyone else was discussing the same thing in their respective rooms. Also at the same time somewhere in four different dimensions other things were going on, that were similar. In one dimension a group of people were trying to find out what was happening to one of their friends and where she had gone off to.
Chapter Seven
Interesting & Fun Times Ahead
(An hour later Club Star Dust 23:00)
The club they had all met each other at once they were all freshened up, was already pumping with loud music and many people dancing already. She was a little bit surprised but also happy to see that everyone had made it there and ran up to Ryan and gave him a huge hug before everyone else. They had all grabbed a seat at tables around each other with the groups though not with the same people they worked with so they could get to know one another. Both Sara and Warrick were happy to see everyone get along well with each other, before heading off to the dance floor. It was awhile before anyone noticed they were gone and were happy to see them having some fun. A lot of them had a feeling that this would be the last time in awhile before they could have more fun. Well the two were having their fun on the dance floor everyone decided to get to know everyone else a little bit better so that they didn't feel awkward. With that all in mind they decided to divide into groups of what they do, like example, Archie, Adam and Copper; Mandy, Windy, Lindsay and Valera who all worked in the trace lab; than one more example was all of the M.E.'s like Alexx, Melinda, Doc Robbins and Sid.
"So enough about talking about our work... Who all is related to Sara by blood?" Nick asked who was sitting with Catherine, Grissom, Brass, Greg, Sophia, Horatio, Calleigh, Eric, Ryan, Natalia, Mac, Stella, Hawke, Danny, Elliot, Olivia, Munch, Fin, Casey and Cragon, because it made him feel very curious, "If you don't mind me asking."
"Well I'm one of her younger cousins on her mom's side," Ryan answered, keeping a close eye on her; though he knew nothing would happen to her being with Warrick, it had been to long of a time since the last time he saw her and didn't want to lose sight of her.
He was really happy that she had found someone for her to be protected by, though he knew she didn't need it. He was worried about her well they were growing up and was happy he didn't have to as much anymore. As the two of them were growing up over the years with the rest of the family, they all knew that they wouldn't have a normal life. It would become clearer the older they got and would make sure that they would always be there for one another. Though it changed once they had reached their early teen years and the different families started to move away. They weren't allowed to stay in touch and they could never figure it out, yet it looked like a lot of things had decided to make them understand now. Who knew that everything could really change quickly from what you thought it would turn out to be. They would figure out how they were all going to get through it together no matter what.
"I'm a far distant cousin on her moms' side," Calleigh said, then looked towards the entrance of the club and that there were people there that had caught everyone's attention except for their group at first.
Before anyone else could say anything to that, the four people who Calleigh saw entering started to walk onto the dance floor. Three of them were males with the fourth being a female who all looked very similar with their suits on. They were all wearing black suites with a white dress shirt and navy blue ties. Once the two noticed them; they headed to them and pulled them off to the side, so no one on the dance floor heard them to be on the safe side. No one was able to see what they were saying because they were in a dark corner where the lights stopped on them once and awhile. Though they could see some of their body language and whatever they were hearing was probably good news. When the four people left the two of them came back towards the group.
"They found two more of my kids, and they're with Sakura at the moment." Sara said sitting down, 'I can't believe after all this time I forgot we had eight kids.'
"Are they going to be okay?" Olivia asked, feeling happy for Sara only five more to go, 'This will be really good for them once all of them are back together again… I can't remember the last time the two were this happy since fourteen years ago.'
"Yup they're just tired more than anything plus their friends are here which will make it better and easier on them right now."
(Four Hours Later)
At around three in the morning they had all decided to head back to their homes and hotel rooms so they were well rested for later on in the morning. Sara couldn't stop thinking about her family and how happy she would be once they were all back together, it would make it a bit more fun having them all together; plus she wouldn't put so much over time in. Though once that happened she wasn't going to let them go again, she had missed too much of their growing up years and wasn't going to miss any more. Lying down in her bed she was thinking of where Serenity might be and how she was holding up. By sending all of her kids somewhere different she thought that would be protecting them when Serenity was dead. There were too many things at stake that she saw and all of them were around Serenity the most. What she kept on seeing happening to her baby girl she just couldn't chance it, but before she could anything Serenity got really sick and had to go to the hospital. There were no warning signs and then the doctor came out and said that she was dead. Then she knew she had to send them all away if only for their safety. With that thought in mind she remembered that it wasn't at her birth like what the guy side; though she didn't quiet remember at this point what was actually said on the video feed.
It didn't take long before she was asleep and she didn't have a peaceful one all night. She kept picturing on how her daughter had looked in the movie they were shown. All of the cuts and bruises and she was hoping none of them were causing her too much pain. Then with a start she realized that she didn't pay too much attention to the surroundings in the video. Knowing that no one else would be in already she got up and headed into the lab. First thing she did when she arrived she got herself a cup of coffee and went to the AV lab. When she found the tape she put it in and slowly watched the frames go by. When it came to where her daughter was in the picture she stopped them and placed all of the frames up beside each other on the computer screen. She loved this new system and wished she knew where they got the money for it; it was really expensive to get.
All of them stayed in still frame and it was interesting that the video showed them so many different views of what she guessed were a room. There was no way that one video could do that and she would love to meet the person who created the system and congratulate them on a good job. This could help in a lot of cases instead of still shots on a screen from multiple cameras. She noticed a few things on the screen that they didn't see before. The room had a few windows and at least one door leading out of the room the girl is being held in. The windows that were in the room were only half way up the wall, so she guessed that it was in a tall building maybe one of the old warehouse buildings. She was about to go out and see if anyone else had finally arrived when she noticed something else in the photo shot. Zooming the camera onto the window she saw what she needed and knew exactly where the area was. Running out of the lab she ran towards the break room and saw everyone there and caught her breath before speaking up.
"I found out where they are."
Hey sorry for the really late up date, but I do hope who ever read this enjoyed the chapter. The next one will be the last, though I am strongly thinking of writing a sequel to it after finishing a few of my other stories.
