A/N: You guys are really great! I'm kinda sad that this story is almost over... Oh and just a little tidbit that I forgot to mention in chapter 19... I don't own the Today Show. Or Matt Lauer for that matter. But I wish I did heh heh heh ^^
Chapter 21 - Working Together (Posted 29 June 2011)
Logan was so shocked he couldn't breathe. It'd been a few days since he'd made the first appearance on the Today Show and so far the only leads were pretty useless. But this one was different.
"M-m-mother?" Logan sputtered.
"That's right. Jennifer Knight at your service. Well, my first husband's name was Knight. I'm Jennifer Graham now."
"So you're really Kendall's mom?"
"I sure am. And you're really Logan Mitchell?"
"Yep, that's me." Logan said, still shocked.
"Wow. My son was obsessed with you. I can't believe he actually met you..."
"Um, ma'am... I think I should tell you this right away so you don't find out later and get angry or anything but... Kendall and I were together. And I love him a lot..."
"I know, sweetheart." she said affectionately. "I saw the broadcast. I'm so glad he was able to find someone."
"Me too. I really want to find him, ma'am. I miss him so much."
"I do too. I've been trying to find him. My new husband even hired a private detective, but we kept running into dead ends. And then I heard just a few minutes ago about you on the Today show and I wondered if it was the same Kendall. When I saw the picture I just had to call right away. Maybe we could work together to find him."
"I would love to work with you." Logan said happily. "Would you like to meet with me and we can discuss it?"
"That would be great."
"Oh and... I was wondering if you've had any contact with your daughter lately?"
"No. I've been afraid to speak with her. I'm sure I could find her fairly easily since I know the name of her foster parents but..."
"I understand." Logan said, remembering Kendall saying something similar. "But just so you know, I met her a few days ago. She misses you and Kendall a lot. I'm going to call her soon to see if she'd like to help as well, so if you'd like to be reunited with her, I'd be happy to bring it up when I talk with her foster parents."
"I'm not sure..." she said hesitantly.
"It's fine, just let me know if you change your mind."
"I will." she said. "So, where would you like to meet?"
Logan gave her a time and the name of a local restaurant and agreed to meet with her there later that day. Turns out she lived nearby. And he couldn't help wondering if maybe if he'd taken Kendall out more, they might have run into her. But he couldn't dwell on it. He couldn't go back and prevent him from leaving, but he was going to do anything within his power to bring him back. And maybe now he could bring his family back together for him and show him just how many people really care about him.
A/N: Sorry this is so short again. It was originally the second half of chapter 20. Chapter 22 will be a lot longer, I promise, and some big things will happen. It's not quite the end, but it's getting close. Thanks :D
