"Ed do you have the solution?" Greg asked as he watched the rest of the civilians being escorted from the near by sidewalks and streets.
"No joy, looking for a better angle." Ed sighed as he tried to move around the trees that were blocking his view.
"Copy, Sam?"
"I have the solution." Sam replied as he watched Wordy, Dani, and the situation below from his scope.
"Copy, stand by. Spike, Jules, what do we have on this guy Christian?" he asked as he made his way towards the truck.
"Christian Milano, 35, has quite a colorful rap sheet." Spike shook his head as
Greg entered the truck.
"Colorful rap sheet, what do you mean?" Greg asked in interest as he looked over to see that Jules had the hostage's information up.
"Well he has been in and out of jail since he was 18. Assault, assault with a deadly weapon, kidnapping, resisting arrest, the list goes on and on."
"Does he have a family?"
"His dad died a couple weeks ago, it says that he was murdered, looks like he was police officer in New York."
"Does the father have a name?" Greg asked his attention instantly snapping to file.
"William Milano, looks like the murder is still under investigation. Guess he was a traffic cop, trained new rookies in his earlier years, it says."
Greg's mind instantly turned to the news he had gotten earlier, William was Dani's training officer, everything fit. "Ok," he sighed as he took his hat off to rub his head, "Jules what did you find?"
"Well Dani said that the woman was claiming to have never seen him before so I dug into her file to see what I could find. Jennifer Mayer, 31, apparently she is going through a divorce with Mark Mayer."
"Inside job?"
"Maybe, but it doesn't add up. Mark doesn't have a rap sheet, not even a speeding ticket."
"Does Mark have an address?"
"There is an address that his phone gets billed to. Do you want me to check it out?"
"Go, keep me updated. How is it coming Wordy?" Greg asked as he existed the truck.
"Boss, this guy knows how we do negotiations; he is dodging everything I say." Wordy sighed as he tried once more. "Sir, how did your baby get taken from you?"
"Rachel! I said RACHEL! Why can't you cops get it right?" Christian screamed.
"Please don't let him take my baby!" Rachel cried as she held her baby closer to her.
"Ma'am, please stay quiet." Dani ordered.
Jules pulled up to the address that was on Christian's record, as she slowly approached the house she noticed that the front door was wide open. Unsnapping her holster she quietly let Greg know that she had arrived and she was going to check the place out. As she hit the first step she saw a shadow looming in the distance. Very quietly she pulled her gun out and turned the flashlight on. As she moved farther into the house she noticed that it was just a chair that had been over turned. She picked up a file that lay nearby, as she picked it up some pictures fell out. Curious, she picked one of them up and looked at it for a minute. This picture was very familiar to her. She had seen the exact same picture in Dani's locker this morning when she and Dani were getting ready for shift change. It was an unusual picture that obviously had a story behind it.
"Morning Jules!" Dani said cheerfully.
"Hey, you seem to be in a good mood…" Jules chuckled as she finished unbuttoning her jacket.
"Had a pretty good weekend, Adam and I went out for the weekend."
"Sounds nice."
"It was!"
"Is this yours?" Jules held out a strange looking photo.
"Yea, thanks. It must have fallen out of my locker." Dani took it and taped it back on the locker door.
"That's a weird picture."
"Yea, my mom drew it for me when I was little. It's not the real one though; the real one is in a museum in Vancouver. They said she had amazing talent." Dani stared down at the artwork for a couple minutes before hanging it back in the locker.
"That's cool. Your mom sounds awesome."
"She..."
"Hurry up!" Ed pounded on the door.
Jules and Dani exchanged looks before hurrying to finish getting ready before heading out for shift change.
Jules began to read the file next, with a list that had obviously written in a hurry. It was a list of addresses that were near the SRU. There was also a file that dated back to nearly eighteen years ago.
"Hey Boss…"
"Yea Jules?" Greg answered as he walked away from the command truck.
"I have something you might want to hear."
"Go ahead, Jules." Greg turned and watched as Wordy continued to try to talk the subject down. The good thing was that the subject didn't appear to be escalating at all.
"Well there is a file that was on a table here, I think that someone has been watching you and Dani."
"What do you mean Jules?"
"Boss there is a file here that was dated back to over fifteen years ago. It has both yours and Dani's name on it, more than once too. There are also numerous pictures of you guys too. Some of them have to be pretty old."
"Spike! What is Christian's last name again?" Greg yelled as he dashed towards the truck.
"Christian Milano, why boss?" Spike looked up in curiosity.
"Wordy, get Dani out of there NOW!" Greg said as he ran back out towards the situation.
"Boss, what's going on?" Ed asked in concern.
"We have to get her out of there, NOW. Spike, I want you to cover Wordy."
"Copy that." Wordy and Spike said in unison.
"Boss, who is this guy?" Dani asked as Spike took over her spot. No one noticed the smirk that Christian was trying to suppress during all of this.
