Jay and Antonio continued their journey to the former Hayley precinct when the senior detective said:
- Wait up! -
- Thing? - asked the other
- Maybe I know who can help us, - Dawson added
- Who? - Jay asked hopefully
- A couple of years this woman was in the newspaper. She showed it to me a lot of times. - Dawson continued.
He took the phone out of his pocket again and dialed Laura, his ex-wife.
She answered after a couple of rings.
- What do you want? - she asked angrily.
- I need to ask you something, listen, - Antonio said before being interrupted by her.
- I have no intention of listening to you. - she said angrily before closing the call.
- Damn, - Dawson said, - we had a fight last night and she's still mad.-
- Here,- Jay said, handing the phone to her colleague, - call her with mine, I'll talk to her.-
After a couple of rings ...
- Hello? I'm Laura who am I talking to? -
- Laura, I'm Jay Halstead, your ex-husband's colleague, - he said.
The woman thought for a moment before speaking. She at first glance she thought it was her ex's ploy and she was about to hang up when something made her stop doing it.
Antonio had never used such a trick before, so something must have happened.
- Jay ... Ah yes, Jay! How are you? What happened? - she replied
- All right, thanks. You? - he asked.
- Well, thank you,- he replied
- I was wondering if you could help me with a case that we are carrying out here at intelligence.- asked the young detective
- Of course I can help you, or at least I can try.- replied Laura.
- Okay, we're trying to identify a woman. Antonio told me that years ago you showed it to her several times when she was in the newspaper. He is forwarding the identikits to you. - Halstead explained.
- Yes, I received it there. Wait, I look ..- she replied and after a few seconds she continued-sure that I remember her is Nora Alden, the wife of former billionaire Tom Alden. I remember she was in the papers all over the country. The day her husband was arrested, she lost her brother and five-year-old daughter in a confrontation with the police. If I'm not mistaken, she too was injured.-
Jay thanked her and closed her call, got out of the car and drove to her colleague's former district.
They would take the Alden file and study the case.
The first pieces of the puzzle had been brought together. They would soon find Hayley.
