Kris sat in the front seat of Kelly's car as they made there way across town to where Jamie's parents lived. She had only seen them once at the hospital after Jamie had been killed. They had come up to see her.
Making their way to the house now was bringing up memories for Kris, memories of times they shared together after they were assigned as partners on that case. Memories of Jamie getting gunned down right before hers and Jill's eyes, not so many months ago.
Kelly looked over at Kris and could see she was lost in thought, "Kris?"
Kris looked at Kelly and gave her a weak smile. "I'm ok. Just thinking of the past is all." She turned back towards the road, "There, the second house on the right. The yellow one."
Kelly pulled the car against the curb and the three of them got out.
Kris stood at the walk and looked up at the house, and as she did she felt the gentle hand on her shoulder, "You ok?"
Kris turned to Sabrina and gave her a nod, "Yeah. Let's go find my sister." She replied as she took in a deep breath and started up the walk way.
Kris knocked on the front door and waited for someone to answer it. Within a few minutes the door opened to reveal a young girl standing there.
"Hi Jane. Are your parent's home?" Kris asked seeing the young girl before her
"Yeah, come on in Kris." The young girl held the door open and let the Angels in the house, "I'll go get them."
She disappeared around a passage way as Kris turned to Kelly and Sabrina, "Jane is Jamie's younger sister."
They nodded acknowledgement just as an older man came around the same passage, "Kris? What brings you by here?" he reached out and embraced Kris in his arms.
"Hi Mr. Clayton, you may remember Kelly and Sabrina. They went to the academy with my sister and Jamie."
"Oh yes, Jamie spoke highly of all three of you." He then turned to Kris just as Mrs. Clayton came down the stairs.
"Kris?" she took the last few steps and also embraced the young Angel. "I'm so glad to see you up and about. You gave us all a scare."
"Yeah. I'm really sorry about Jamie." Kris acknowledged her friends Mother
"Ssshhh, it wasn't your fault. We have her in our hearts. We were glad to hear that you were on the mend. I remember seeing Jill at the hospital. She never left your side."
Kris blushed a little as she looked down at the floor, she didn't like to remember her time at the hospital after she was shot, and she knew what her sister had gone though, "I know."
"What brings you by though? Something seems to be troubling you." The older woman asked
Kris looked from her friends to the mother of her former partner, "Jamie actually. Kelly remembered her keeping a diary of sorts at the academy where she wrote down details of things she heard and saw."
"Yes. She was always making notes in it." Her mother agreed
"Can we see them? The ones from three years ago? When she and I were working that missing women's case?" Kris asked hoping they would still have them
Mrs Clayton turned to look at her husband who didn't say anything.
"Mrs. Clayton." Sabrina started, "Jill has been kidnapped and we think it has something to do with that old case. We're hoping that maybe Jamie saw or heard something that might lead us to where Jill is."
Mrs. Clayton turned back towards Kris and could see a tear forming behind her blue eyes, "They are up in her old room. Come on." She took Kris' hand in hers and led the Angels up the stairs.
After several hours of reading diary after diary all three Angels were rubbing the bridge of their nose.
"Ok so far I've got nothing." Sabrina said as she stood up and stretched out her back.
Kelly looked up at her friend sympathetically, "Same here." She cast a look over at Kris who was lost in her own thoughts and the diary in her hand, "Kris?"
Kris didn't move as she turned the next page, lost in the words on the paper.
Kelly looked at Sabrina who gave her a concerned looked in return, "Kris? Anything with you?" Sabrina asked but got no reply.
Kelly watched Kris as Sabrina spoke to her and got a little more worried. Her young friend was yet to respond which made Kelly all the more curious to the words to the pages she was reading. "Kris?" she laid her hand gently on Kris' arm as to not startle her, but she did.
Kris looked up suddenly at Kelly with tears in her eyes. "Kelly,"
Kelly reached forward and pulled the young Angel in her arms not really sure what had brought the sudden damn of tears. "Kris? What did you find?" she asked with caution.
Kris pulled away from Kelly and wiped the tears from her face, "It was him all along." She wiped away more tears, "He set us up,"
Sabrina watched as Kelly seemed to comfort Kris, "Who did Kris?" she didn't want to push Kris but they all needed answers.
Kris pushed back her tears and looked from Kelly to Sabrina. "Lt Devane." She paused to get her emotions in line, "Capt'n Devane. It's all here. He actually set us up to get kidnapped." Kris turned to the book in her hand, "Jamie has a note here that she had gone to him with some information she found out on a large warehouse. She thought she had seen several vans going in and out and women getting out of them, before the warehouse door was closed. There is also mention of drug and gun deals from the same place. When she went to Devane he brushed it off as nothing. Yet when she went back the next day everything she had seen was gone. The warehouse was completely empty. Then a little further down she makes mention that she thinks there were cops involved in all the missing women's disappearances and she feared Devane may be involved as well." She looked up at Kelly, "That night was when Jamie and I were grabbed from the beach."
Sabrina had listened to Kris in what Jamie had written in the diary, "He was covering his tracks. He knew Jamie was on to him and couldn't be certain she hadn't talked to you."
Kelly followed along with Sabrina, "So he sets up you're kidnappings in hopes that you are either dead or to far away to worry about."
Kris looked down at the book and then up to her friends, "But why? I mean why would he do that to his career?"
"Why do any of them. Greed, money. Power." Kelly answered as she placed a gentle hand on Kris' arm.
Sabrina stood up from her place at Jamie's desk, "Ok so we know the who and the why, what we don't know is the where?"
"Let's call Charlie, maybe there is something he can find out through his connections." Kelly suggested as she started for the door.
As Sabrina sat in the front seat talking on the phone to Charlie, Kelly kept her eye on Kris. She knew it wouldn't be long before her young friend completely lost it. She placed her hand on Kris' shoulder and ran it up and down her arm to offer any comfort she could.
Kris looked up at Kelly and gave her a weak smile but she could feel she was losing the battle with her emotions.
It didn't take Kelly long to pull her arms around Kris and give her a hug, "It's ok Kris. We'll find her you'll see."
Kris just stayed in Kelly's arms and cried into her friends shoulder. "I can't lose her Kel."
"You won't, none of us will."
Sabrina hung up the phone and got back out of the car, "Charlie may have something. Seems Captain Devane has a large piece of property on the cliffs over looking Santa Monica."
Kris pulled away from Kelly and wiped the tears away, "So what are we waiting for?" she asked.
"Kris we don't know for sure if that's where Jill is." Sabrina said trying to be the voice of reason to the young Angel.
"We'll we can't just stand here and not check it out. What if she is there?" Kris started to argue back. She just wanted Jill back and safely.
Kelly looked at Kris and then to Bri with a raise to her eyebrow, "I don't think it would hurt to check this place out."
"I agree. But we are not going in alone." Sabrina replied.
"Can we trust the cops?" Kelly looked at her friend, "I mean we are talking about one of their own."
"I'll call Bill, he'll know who to trust and he can meet us out there." Sabrina looked over at Kris, "We'll get her back Kris."

Alonso wasn't known for his patience. It was that that caused him a lot of trouble growing up. But Franco had taught him a great deal over the years and the two were loyal to each other. Even now Alonso was the only one who really knew Franco, one of the reason he stood at the top of the stairs in Franco's fancy home.
Although Alonso was more patient then he was he still had his own desires. And he knew one desire he wanted then. Making his way down the hall he stopped just down the hall to the one guarded doorway.
"Franco wants me to check in." He patted the large man on the shoulder, "Why don't you lock the door after I go in:"
"Whatever you say Al." the large bodyguard gave Al a wicked smile before stepping aside for the smaller man.
He turned the handle to the door and eased it open to look inside. He smiled to himself as she saw her sitting on the bed with her back against the head board. "We'll now, isn't this a beautiful site." He spoke as he stepped in the room closing the door and hearing it lock behind him.
Jill looked towards the man who now stood just inside the door to her 'room'. She had been a cop long enough and arrested enough criminals to recognize the look on the mans face. Pushing herself off the bed she stepped off to one side keeping the bed between her and the man.
Al laughed at seeing her move to the far side of the room, "I don't want to hurt you Ms Munroe. Just talk. Maybe get to know each other. After all you're going to be here awhile."
He moved around the room and made his way over to the small dresser that had a brandy decanter and two glasses on it. He reached up and poured himself a drink before turning to Jill, "Drink?"
"No thanx." She replied keeping her senses on alert, not trusting the man for a second.
"Your choice." He said as he started towards the window and looked out over the crashing waves below, "I always loved coming here as a kid. Franc and I had some good times here."
Jill wasn't sure who this man was or what he wanted but she had to try something, "Look why don't you just let me go. I'll just go back to Europe and you'll never hear from me or my sister again. We won't bother any of you."
He wanted to laugh. She already knew too much, he looked at her and smiled, "Sorry Ms. Munroe. I can't do that." He placed the glass on the tale next to him and quickly stepped over to her, gripping her upper arms. "But I know what you can do." He leaned in and forcibly kissed her only to have her push him back. In retaliation he pushed her back onto the bed and quickly jumped down on top of her.
"I can make this as rough as you like Jill, in fact I prefer it that way." He forced his mouth down on her again assaulting her lips with his.

Kelly pulled the car against the log fence that ran along the property and through some woods.
"Ok we go in and get a count and an idea of what's going on but we wait for Bill." Sabrina said as she looked directly at Kris.
Kris kept her eyes on the large Victoria Tudor before her just through the woods. She had heard Sabrina talking but she only had one thing on her mind, finding her sister.
"Kris? Do you understand me? We don't move in till Bill gets here" Sabrina repeated until Kris looked at her
"I heard you Bri." She answered as she then started through the logs of the fence and closer to the house.
Sabrina looked over at Kelly who raised her eyebrows back in a statement that said 'what can we do."
They both quickly followed after Kris and cursed when the young Angel got closer to the house and further from them then they wanted to.

Captain Devane stood at the window and looked over his property and out to the ocean. He didn't even turn around when he heard the door to his office open and close.
"They're here."
"I know. I spotted them some time ago on the monitor when they went through the fence on the south side. Which reminds me. Have security tighten that area once this is over. And I want names of who is in charge of that section. They should have never got this close with out being seen by anyone but my self."
"I'll take care of it personally father."
He turned briefly to his son. The father son resemblance was uncanny to him. It was like looking into a mirror 30yrs ago. "You do that. In the mean time why don't you go and fetch Ms. Munroe. I'm sure she'll want to greet her sister and friends when they arrive."

Sabrina and Kelly were about to make their way up towards Kris when they both felt the cold steel on the back of their necks.
"Let's just put the guns down slowly ladies and quietly ease towards the house."
Sabrina took a side look at Kelly before they both eased their guns to the ground and stood back up.
Kris crouched down and watched the house before her. She was trying to find a way inside before Kelly and Sabrina caught up with her and stopped her. She knew Jill was in that house and she had to get her out.
She stood up and could see her way to the house and in with as much cover as possible. But just as she did she turned to see where Kelly and Sabrina here. Much to her surprise they were only a few feet away from her with three very large men behind them.
"Drop the gun Ms Munroe. There is someone that is anxious to see you."
Kris hesitated a moment until the man behind Kelly pulled her close and shoved the gun in her ribs, "Now Ms Munroe."
Kris looked at Kelly and held her gun out letting it fall to the ground as one of the men came up and picked it up from the ground.
"Let's go." The one holding Kelly ordered.
The three Angels stepped into the large house and were ushered down the hall to a large living room area looking out over the water.
"Welcome Charlie's Angels. We met again."
All three girls looked over at the man they had once trusted at certain points of their lives. Kris as a young policewoman, and Kelly and Sabrina more recently at the airport.
"Captain. I can't say it's a pleasure to see you again." Sabrina said for all three of them.
"No I guess not." He looked at Kris, "You and Jamie had it all figured out didn't you? Then you and your sister had to get involved."
"I didn't know anything, it was Jamie that figured it out. She wrote everything down. If we can figure it out someone else will." Kris said
"Maybe. But that is if you live to tell anyone about the diaries." He stepped closer to Kris, "You and your sister, as well as your friends won't be telling anyone anything."
'Kris glared at him, "Where's my sister?"
He laughed as she stepped back towards the window, "Oh she'll be done shortly. I sent my son to get her."

Jill pushed again to get Al off of her but all it got her was the back of his hand across her face. But she wasn't going to let him rape her or anyone else she knew as she slammed her elbow into his face, stunning him momentarily enough to push him off a bit more.
She was able to get off the bed and started for the door but felt the hand on her shoulder pull her back.
"Bitch!" he twisted her around and once again struck her with the back of his hand sending her to the ground at which time he quickly grabbed her and twisted her on her back.
Jill knew this was not going the way she wanted it and had to do something fast. She twisted again to try and get from under him when she felt what may be her life line.
Taking hold of the handle of the gun in his pocket she tried to wrestle it free from the clothing.
It was then the Al realized his mistake and reached down and gripped her hand that was around the gun.
As the two fought for control of the weapon the sound of gun fire was soon heard throughout the house as an eerie quiet fell on the room.
~~ ~~ CA ~~ ~~ CA
Kelly watched as Kris traded words with her former Lieutenant and it wasn't until the sound of gun fire was heard that everything suddenly went crazy.
Sabrina was trying to work out some escape plan. She knew Bill was on his way but would he still go in not knowing where they were. She was jarred from her thoughts at the sound of gun shots coming from up stairs.
Kris glared at the man near the window. How many times had he tried to kill her, her sister and their friends? She jumped as she heard the shot and felt her heart stop in fear of the unknown as she quickly reacted and took off for the stairs only to be grabbed by one of the goons in the room. "Let me go! JILL!!" Kris cried out as she kicked and twisted to get away from the man holding her above the ground. "JILL!!"
