Wednesday March 11th that evening—
"Cole Stanton had called Janikowski and two other people. Those people are the same ones unwilling or unable to talk," Kat said as she gave the piece of paper to Will.
"Are you kidding?" Will asked. He read that Roy not only called several people but that Cole had also called an unidentified person.
Wednesday March 12th 9am-
Kat and Lilly went to work a bit early to look into some files from Brandon's box, then Will and Scotty came in a few minutes later. They noticed a list of places that had addresses and that file contained two addresses in Delaware and West Chester.
"Let's go see if Brenda is home," Kat said as she and Lilly left.
They arrived on the street where Brenda Moran lived, who was Jarrod's sister. They arrived at the home then knocked on the door, introduced themselves, and were let in by Brenda's husband.
They sat down on the couch where some remaining family members of Gates' siblings were present and wanted to know about their disowned relative. Brenda and her husband sat in the chairs across from the detectives.
"Did you know Roy Bush?" Kat asked.
"I don't know him personally, but he did call at least once that I know of, and I talked to him for a few minutes," Brenda said.
"What did he say?" Lilly asked.
"None of it made sense but he said something like he had evidence that then Deputy Commissioner Janikowski ordered Sergeant Gates to kill his father."
"He said he had evidence?" Kat asked.
"Then we got the package a month ago," Brenda said as she gave them the package.
"Did you get this before the 13th of February or after?" Lilly asked.
"After the 13th," Brenda said.
"What about the second time he called?" Kat said as she gave them the date and time.
"Any of you guys take that call?" Brenda asked the cousins, who all said no, then she continued, "My mom, who recently died, may have been the one to talk to him a second time. I remember one day she was very upset and said she didn't want to talk about it. She was the last person who knew Brandon but she wouldn't talk about him."
"I'm sorry about your mom," Lilly said.
"Thanks," Brenda said with a smile.
"So who is the oldest who knew Brandon?" Kat asked.
"Jarrod who went back to Atlanta was 10 years old when Brandon died, and I was 8."
"Did Roy come over or anything?" Kat asked as she showed his picture and they all told her no.
"Thanks, we will look over the package," Lilly said.
Lilly left her card with them to notify her if there was anything more they remembered and left for the station where Will working on the case.
Back in Darlington-
Howard was in the living room with the three men as they talked, while John took a nap in his room.
"Maybe we should just get out of here! Cops are going to be all over the place," Richard said worried.
"No, we are in a rural area, there is no way they would think to look here. Besides we'll be leaving in a week anyway and they are looking almost 15 miles south of us so they don't know we are still here," Cole said.
"Alright, as long as that traitor is gone," Richard said as he looked at Cole, Randy, and Howard.
In John's room—
John was under the covers sleeping off his flu. As his fever started to go down, he dreamt.
"Hi Rita. You look very beautiful this evening."
"Thank you, John. You look handsome in that tux," Rita said. They were at a commissioner's ball in the mid '80's.
"Glad we found a sitter for Janie and we can dance the night away," John said as they both danced.
"Yeah. She's going to start preschool soon and I'm going to be all alone."
"Nonsense! I will be here," John said.
"You are a detective. You won't be around forever; you missed our daughter's birth."
"Don't start that, please," John asked.
He dreamt about his family then Howard walked in and noticed he was tossing in his sleep. After twenty minutes of watching TV and seeing John toss and turn, Howard woke him up from his nap.
Meanwhile in Philadelphia—
Lilly and Kat looked over the contents of the package they got from Brenda when Scotty walked in.
"Were you able to talk to Stephen Janikowski?" Lilly asked as Kat started to look at some of the papers from the package.
"Yep. He and his dad aren't on good terms but Roy never called or visited him. Calls do back him up," Will said.
"I can't see him call Janikowski and saying 'I got evidence and will turn you in.' He should have gone to the boss and said, 'I got this'." Lilly said.
"Yeah right. Roy was already angry at the boss so why would he even try?" Scotty said.
"But do the Janikowski's know any of the three kidnappers? And if Roy had this evidence the whole time, then what took him so long to reveal it?" Kat asked.
"I've already cross referenced the names of the kidnappers to Janikowski and Cole Stanton is the only one who knows him," Scotty said.
"How?" Lilly asked confused.
"Stanton was arrested in '85, '88, and '91 and guess who bailed him out?"
"Janikowski?" Lilly asked.
"Yep. Janikowski is the godfather of Cole's son," Will said as he took out some pieces of papers from the box that Gates' nephew had given them.
"Any chance for a phone tap warrant at Janikowski's place?" Lilly asked.
"Should be enough," Curtis said.
"Let's get just a phone tap, for now, but who knows, we may need more later," Will said.
"Okay, I'll get right on it," Bell said as he left.
The next two days Will, Kat, Scotty, and Lilly went to the small towns in Delaware and Maryland, they had uncovered, but found the homes that were on the list had been vacant for years or demolished.
They were working on the files they got from Gates' nephew when Kat did a cross reference between Cole Stanton, Stanton's son, and Robbie Janikowski.
"You guys are not going to believe this."
"What?"
