Chapter Twelve rewritten: What Garcia Finds
Penelope Garcia sat in her slightly cramped computer filled office as she attempted to sort through all the receipts Morgan had given her. She could tell that the antique store definitely didn't know how to keep anything in order. The receipt records she'd been given were a complete and total mess.
She raised her eyebrows as the phone rang. She answered it grinning as Morgan spoke up "Hey baby girl have you sorted through all those receipts yet"?
She rolled her eyes "Cupcake are you kidding me. These people seriously didn't know how to keep records, but I did get a chance to run some of those names you've given me".
Morgan nodded his head speaking up "And what did you find? He's getting worst. He took her dog this morning".
"Well the old guys name is Vincent Avery. He's completely harmless not even a speeding ticket. He's a retired English teacher who lives by himself. He has one deceased wife and a daughter who lives halfway across the country". She stated sighing
"Okay and what about the other two guys"? Morgan stated hoping that she'd found something
"The second guys name is Peter Andrews. He's a very successful real estate dealer. He's also a complete sleaze if he was trying to pick Natalie up, considering he's married with a pregnant wife. I am having a bit of trouble with the last name you gave me though".
Morgan let out an annoyed sigh "Oh don't tell me that".
She giggled slightly before speaking up "Sorry hot stuff, but there seems to be a large number of Alex and Adam Matthews working for commercial movers. I promise I will call you if I get something though".
Natalie glanced up as she saw Morgan get off his cell phone. He glanced over at Spencer before speaking up "Garcia's still sorting through those receipts and she says she'll call when she gets something. I'm going to call Gideon and give him a run through of whats going on".
Natalie frowned feeling a slight wave of disappointment wash over her as she heard this. She had been shocked when Spencer had told her that Cookie was missing. He had told her that her stalker was doing this as a way to punish her. He had said that her stalker saw her as a possession and he didn't want to share her with anything or anyone.
She felt sick. She was more than ready for her life to just go back to normal, but then again she knew her life would never be quite the same again.
Spencer glanced over at Natalie speaking up "Its going to be okay".
She nodded her head not quite believing him. She stared down at the pancake that she'd just taken off the frying pan. She no longer felt that hungry.
Spencer spoke up swallowing the lump in his throat before he spoke up "Have you told your dad whats going on"?
She raised her eyebrows feeling anxious at the thought of telling her family "No. I mean I can't tell him. He didn't want me to move to Washington in the first place. He said it was too far away, and he's so protective of me. I know it would crush him if he found out that something like this was happening and he couldn't protect me".
He nodded his head understanding.
She was her father's youngest child and his only daughter so he guessed he could see why it might be hard for her to tell him what was going on.
He walked into the kitcnette and hugged her gently. She let herself sink into the hug truly enjoying the comfort. She looked up at him before speaking up "I'll tell my dad someday. I mean when the times right".
He nodded his head kissing her cheek "I understand. I wont push you into telling them if your family if your not ready".
"What are we supposed to do while were waiting for Garcia to find something"? Natalie stated as pulled away from his hug and started to put the food away.
She was pretty sure that no one felt like chocolate chip pancakes right now.
Spencer bit his bottom lip speaking up as he made an attempt to help her "The only thing we can do wait".
Garcia frowned as she scrolled through all the Alex or Adam Matthew's that were listed as working for the same moving company that had delivered everything to Natalie's work.
She clicked on yet another name. She raised her eyebrows surprised by what she saw. A criminal record that was a bit incriminating wasn't it. She clicked to look into the record thanking her lucky stars that it hadn't been sealed.
She widened her eyes as she read it. This was it.
Morgan frowned when his phone rang once again. He'd just hung up with Gideon.
He widened his eyes as Garcia spoke up sounding quite proud of herself "I think we may have a winner. Alex Matthews twenty six years old. He lives by himself and doesn't appear to have much of a social life. Trust me It doesn't look like anyone but bill collectors call this guy. He does have some pretty extravagant spending habits though. He's ordered plenty of women's clothing from catalogs, and plenty of other items that are identical to everything Natalie's received".
She paused taking in a deep breath before speaking up again "The most interesting thing is the criminal record I found on this guy. It appears that he had an ex girlfriend that he had a tendency to stalk in college. The creepy thing is this girl looks a lot like Natalie".
Morgan smiled hearing this. "Thanks princess your the best ".
He hung up the phone before looking at Spencer and Natalie who had both finally quit cleaning up the mess in the kitchen. "We've got something".
