CONGRATULATIONS roban05! Yes! Something for Mya! It will be revealed in the next chapter! And no, not just you. I keep on getting 503 errors when I reload/try to put the newest chapter into the posting doc. But yes, I'm getting them!
NOTE: I could not think of any costumes of good guys (or any in general) that really reflect their personalities, so this is sorta a trivia. Can any of you think of good costumes for everyone (in the correct theme, of course)? I'll give chapters for every one that I agree with! Depending on who, I can implement them into the story too!
TRIVIA: What are Troy's brother, and Troy's nephew's names? Each correct name gets a chapter!
BONUS: Why does Troy say "back to Chicago"?
?-?
Mya smiled. "Thank you." She said as she took the warm cup of hot chocolate from Josh. It was the perfect comfort food, rather, drink.
"How are you doing?" He asked, sitting next to her on the couch in her apartment.
She nodded. "OK. The reality of the possibility of not meeting them ever has sunk in, I have accepted it. Even forgiven Kim."
He raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"There's no use in wasting energy hating someone who will spend the rest of her life thinking about what she did, right?" She reasoned.
Josh smiled. "Yes, you're right."
Mya smiled as well. "Good. Now let's get this movie started!"
"Alright." He said, pressing the play button, the couple snuggling in close together.
?-?
Sue's phone rang just as she was about to walk into the Hoover building the next morning. She paused to answer it.
"HELLO!" Sue signed to the FaceTime caller.
"HELLO, HOW YOU?" Troy signed in response.
Sue nodded. "AMAZING."
He raised his eyebrows in response. Sue told him what was going to happen in a few minutes.
"NICE." He replied, smiling.
"YOU CALL ME WHY? HEAR THAT STORY REASON NOT." Sue replied.
"YES." Troy signed, remembering the real reason. "YOU REMEMBER MY BROTHER, HIS SON, YOU?"
"YES!" Sue replied, remembering when she first met them.
"SON GO-TO COLLEGE NOW." Troy continued.
"WOW!" Sue said, not believing he was that old already.
"THIS SEMESTER ONLINE, BUT HE WANT GO TO CHICAGO AGAIN, GO-TO SCHOOL THERE. HE MOVE NEXT MONTH."
"OH-I-SEE." Sue signed, not quite sure why she was being told this.
"TWO-WEEKS FUTURE, SCHOOL HAVE DA SHOWCASE. WHEN MY BROTHER SAY HE LIVE WHERE? WASHINGTON, SCHOOL JOKE 'YOU KNOW SUE THOMAS YOU?', HE ANSWER YES. SCHOOL ASK IF YOU WANT SPEAK WHERE? DA SHOWCASE." Troy described.
"OH!" Sue replied. "SOUND INTERESTING. OK!"
Troy smiled, happy she was willing to help out. "ME SCHEDULE AIRPLANE. WE LEAVE TWO-WEEKS WEDNESDAY NOV 11, BACK NOV 15."
"OK! SEE YOU SOON!" Sue waved goodbye as she started walking again, into the Hoover building. Troy waved as well, then hung up.
Sue smiled. Something fun to look forward to.
?-?
"Hey! Where's your costume?" Mya complained, seeing Jack in his normal suit when he walked into the bullpen.
He shrugged. "I'll have it on later. Don't you know Superman has to work first, before he can become Superman?"
Everyone chuckled.
"Speaking of work, Bobby, care to help me interrogate Kim?"
"Would be happy to, mate." Bobby replied, walking with him. "Let's hope she makes it easy on herself, and the time she spends in jail."
Mya sighed, thinking as she finished up her end on the case.
"Mya?" Sue said quietly, walking into the bullpen.
"YOU DO-DO HERE?" She signed, since she didn't have her clear mask on.
"I have a surprise for you." Sue replied.
She cocked her head, totally clueless as to what Sue could possibly have for her.
"Come with me?" Sue asked.
Mya nodded, following her out of the room.
"What on earth could Sue be up to now?" Sarah asked, curious at what had just happened.
"With her, anything." Myles replied. "Both of them, actually."
Sarah smiled.
?-?
"I see you don't want to be easy on yourself, and admit to anything." Jack said, frustrated.
"I did nothing wrong." Kim said.
"That's all you've said for the past half hour, yet we know different. Last time in Kansas, you were suspected of selling babies on the black market, yet we didn't have enough proof it was you, only enough to shut down the business. Thank you for keeping all your records, because we now have enough to charge you on two counts; Kansas and here. Admit it, and you might be able to reduce your sentence, that is, if we believe you." Bobby said.
"Yeah, I'm not quite sure I believe a word she says, do you, Bobby?" Jack asked.
He shook his head. "Nah. Unless she says something spectacular, I don't think I'd believe a word."
"Alright! I admit it! Are you happy?" Kim exclaimed, tired of dealing with the two agents.
Jack smiled. "Yes, we are. Because now we get to spend our afternoon at a Halloween party, not with you. Now, write down your confession, and we'll be on our way." He said, sliding a notebook across the table.
Kim grumbled as she started writing.
The two agents smiled at each other. The case was closed.
?-?
Sarah frowned, looking through all the paperwork.
"What's wrong?" Bobby asked, coming into the bullpen.
"Kim might've kept great records, but I'm trying to figure out what black market baby went where, and it's extremely hard." She replied.
"Why do you even want to do that? It would just be traumatic for the child."
"If your child went missing, wouldn't you go all out to try and find them? Even if we aren't able to reunite the babies with their parents, at least they'll have some sort of closure."
He nodded in reply, understanding her reasoning.
"I can tell you one thing; I would not enjoy being one of those black market babies grown up. I wouldn't want to know where I came from." Myles said. "Too horrific."
"Even if you wanted to meet your birth parents?" Sarah asked.
Myles nodded. "Even then. I would feel so horrible that I was part of a crime, and I could have done nothing about it."
"That's the key, they're babies, toddlers, they can't do anything about it, they can't blame themselves for something that they couldn't've controlled." Jack added.
"I guess." Myles replied.
They all stood there quietly, thinking.
Sarah sighed. "I should get back to matching up families."
Jack nodded. "When you match them, contact them, see if they want to meet each other. Let's hope we can find some good in all of this."
"Yeah, we need some good news right about now." Bobby agreed.
"Yes, we do." Sarah agreed.
