Epilogue

Some years later

Two little girls sat one near another under a tree. Their heads were inches apart. It looked like they were forming a conspiracy.

"And then the good guys from the FBI came there and helped them!"

"Really? But how?"

The young story-teller looked embarrassed a little.

"I don't remember correctly. Parker has said that 'they made the doors mine-free'. Or something like that. It doesn't matter, though, they were saved!"

"What was next?"

"Then mommy and uncle Jack were taken to the hospital."

"And then?"

An auburn-haired girl moved closer to her best friend's ear.

"And then they saved uncle Zach!"

"He had been kidnapped, hadn't he?"

"Right! But they were able to save him! Do you want to know how?"

Her listener nodded her head. She was sitting with her eyes wide open ready to find out the rest of the story.

"The camera!"

"The camera?!"

"The bad guy had a camera! He used it to send video to uncle Zach. And when there is such a camera it is very easy to find a…a receiving device!"

The last two words were pronounced with difficulty, but it made the girl very proud of herself.

"What does that mean?"

"I don't know…but it's not important! They found him!"

She wanted to add something else, but her mother's loud voice interrupted her.

"Kelly! Amanda! Dinner is ready!"

Both girls stood up and ran to the house.

"What were you talking about out in the garden?"

"Kelly was telling me a story!"

"What story?"

"About the bad guy."

"What bad guy? Where did you know this story from?"

The auburn-haired girl looked down.

"Kelly Elizabeth Booth!"

Hearing metal notes in her mother's voice, she sighed and confessed.

"Parker told me. He told me how you caught the bad guy, who had hurt you! And you won! With a mop!"

In her big brown eyes there was so much admiration and delight that Brennan couldn't help forgiving her. She smiled down at her daughter and saw a smile on her face, one that her father and elder brother were always giving her.

"Mrs. Booth!"

"Yes?"

"So, this story is true?"

"I don't know exactly what details Parker has told you, but the main sense is right. That bad man really did exist."

"Mommy! Can you tell us this story? Please! Pretty please!"

Two pairs of pleading eyes were looking at Brennan.

"Fine. It all started on one spring morning…"
