Friday Morning (day after rescue) – Adams- Foster House
The living room was filled with four mattresses, blankets pillows and sleeping bodies. Brandon lay on the matress closest to the front door with Jude next to him. Stef and Callie on the next one, then Rylan and Lena on the other and the last one held Mariana and Jesus. In that order.
When Callie woke that morning she thought she was back in the Mob house but it wasn't until she caught the familiar smell of her Mother that she was comforted. Now as she lay awake snuggled with her Mother, Callie smiled and sat up a little to look around at the other sleeping bodies in the room.
Stef felt Callie move and slowly woke up. Callie seeing that her Mom was awake smiled and lay back down to snuggled back into her. Stef smiled and pulled the teen into her for her morning snuggle. She had definelty missed this.
"Morning Mom." Callie whispered so she didn't wake her siblings and Mama.
"Morning Calli-Q." Stef whispered back before placing a kiss to the teens temple. The two of them cuddled together for a few more minutes in silence.
"Wanna come help me make some breakfast?" Stef asked the teen quietly. Seeing that it was only the two of them up, maybe Stef could talk to the teen to see how she was doing.
Callie nodded and slowly the two of them pushed off their blankets and moved down the matress so they didn't wake the others up.

Callie sat at the kitchen table cutting up fruit while Stef mixed up batter for pancakes in a bowl.
"You ok sweets?" Stef asked the teen who looked like she was thinking hard.
"Yeah, just can't believe im home. We're home." Callie said with a smile as she looked up from cutting fruit.
"Well believe it. I'm not letting you and Rylan out of my sights for a bit." Stef said as she set the pancake batter down, flicked on the coffee pot and then took a seat next to the girl. Breakfast can wait a minute, she always had tme to talk to one of her babies.
"I completely understand. It was honestly so hard not being able to contact you or Mama or seeing you at all. All we had was each other in that house and they split us up during the day to control us. Each and every time they took Rylan away from me I was fearing for her safetly every second and I could understand how you and Mama and My siblings were feeling." Callie explained, tears welling in her eyes. She set the knife down and used her hands to wipe away tears but it was useless as more just continued to fall.
"Im sorry my baby." Stef whispered softly, pulling the teen into her sidewards to give her some love and comfort.
Stef could feel her heart break at the teens words, to know that the girls were split from each other to control the two of them was horrible. The amount of fear the girls already had at being taken from home and adding the fear from being split up was unimaginalble. Stef couldn't even imagine.
"Its not your fault, I'm just glad we are home." Callie whispered back to try and reassure her mother. Stef loved that about the teen, always putting other first but sometimes it really worried Stef.
"Whats really on your Mind? " Stef asked, knowing that the teen had a deeper thought, one that one weighing heavily on her. Callie sighed out, wiping away more tears as she looked at her hand. Stef watched the teen.
"Rylans still not safe is she?" Callie asked turning her head so that she could look her Mom in the eyes. Stef knew something like this was worrying the teen, it was worring her aswell.
"No, shes not. The FBI, the police and myself are doing everything we can to make sure she is safe. We don't know if they are after you aswell now since she have seen alot of things, you could have a target on your back now aswell." Stef explained, telling the girl the truth, no point in hiding anything from her. It was better this way.
"I didn't think of that." Callie whispered looking away from her Moms eyes and back at her hands that sat on the table.
"You don't need to worry. The best people are working on everything." Stef said trying to reassure the girl. Callie nodded. She knew her mothers would do anything to protect their kids.
Stef kissed Callies temple before moving out of the chair to start cooking the pancakes and Callie resumed with her task of cutting up fruit.
"Morning." Lena greeted the two as she entered the kitchen, placing a kiss on Callies head as she passed her going to the Coffee pot.
"Morning Mama" Callie responded with a smile as Stef moved over to greet her wife properly.
"Morning My Love." Stef said placing a kiss to Lenas lips before moving back to the stove.
"Smells good." Lena said as she placed a cup of coffee next to Stef, recieving a kiss in thanks and then grabbed her own as she took a seat next to her teen.
"Cals and I thought we would make breakfast for everyone before we start our eventful day." Stef explained before taking a sip of her coffee. Callie looked at her Mama and smiled.
"Good idea." Lena said placing another kiss on Callies temple. Callie chuckled. Shes was going to have to get use to more kisses and hugs then usual. Rylan would have to aswell.
"So are we going to the station today?" Callie asked, needing to know how the day is going to go.
"Yeah, you, Rylan, Mama and Myself are going to the station to talk to the Fbi and then to the doctors to get checked out." Stef explained flipping pancakes for breakfast in between sips of coffee.
"Ok, sounds good. " Callie nodded. Whatever she could do to help get the mob off the street or to keep her and Rylan safe, she would do.

It wasn't long before the smell of food drifted into the living room waking the others up. With the family all back together and in the one house, the occupants were a lot less stressed and more in a good mood. This also meant appetites were now back as one by one each of the kids that had been sleeping before, trickled into the kitchen ready to eat.
"So whats going on today? Are we going to school?" Brandon asked as he loaded his plate with fruit and pancakes. Today was the last day of school and the Summer holidays start on saturday. All the kids looked at each other before looking over at their Mothers. They hadn't realised it was school today after all the excitement of the girls being home.
Lena and Stef looked at each other having one of their silent conversations.
"Mom and I have decided that since the girls haven't spoken to the FBI, it would be better if you were to stay home from school today and start summer break early." Lena explained. With the FBI not having been told information, the kids going to school and being excited because of the return of their sisters, it wouldn't mix well and the press would be all over it.
"Ok, sounds good. Can we go to the police station with you?" Jesus asked.
"We know you want to be around your sisters, but today it would be best for Callie and Rylan to talk to the FBI alone without an audience." Stef explained, the police station was crowded enough with the FBI crew their, adding 4 more people into the chaos would not be helpful at all.
"Ok we get it." Brandon said with a nod.
"I will call Mike and ask him to come over. Mama and I don't feel like its the best option to keep you guys home alone, even with the police patroling and someone stationed outside." Stef explained before grabbing another pancake off of the stack to place on Rylans plate as the girl had been trying to reach for it.
"We understand Mom. We will hang around here, maybe watch some movies and play board game or something" Brandon explained looking around at his siblings as they nodded. Stef gave him a greatful smile.
"Are you that hungry sweets?" Stef asked the little girl next to her. Rylan looked up with a mouth full of pancake that she looked like a chipmunk with her big puffy overfilled cheeks.
"Yeah. The cook made food but it didn't taste like how Mama makes food." Rylan responded after swallowing her mouthful. Stef and Lena smiled at the little girl as she stuffed more pancake in her mouth.
"At least we were fed I guess. The food was edible but it wasn't as good there as it is here. No love was put into it, it was just whipped up without a care. Sometimes it tasted bland." Callie explained more to the rest of the family.
"Well eat up, there is plenty of food in this house. Love goes into all our food." Stef said with a wink to the little girl. Everyone chuckled and continued on eating their breakfast.
"Aye aye captain." Rylan mock saluted as she grabbed a piece of apple and shoved it in her mouth making the family laugh. This was what the family had missed. The little girls mischieveous ways and Callies insights and prescence.

Breakfast was over. Mariana, Jude and Jesus cleaned the dishes and put things away while Brandon took out the trash and Lena headed upstairs.
Callie, Rylan and Stef headed up the stairs not long after Lena did.
"Alright, Cal. Once you are dressed ,come see me and we will clean and rebandage that arm. We don't want to have an infection set in." Stef said to the teen as the three of them made it to the top of the stairs.
"Ok Mom." Callie called over her shoulder as she and Rylan walked into their shared room.
Stef smiled and headed into her room, mobile in had to call Mike.
Xxxxx
Stef was just hanging up from Mike when Lena emerged from the master bathroom all dressed for the day and Callie knocked on the bedroom door at the same time.
"Mom?" Callie called from the hall as Lena took a seat on the bed to do up her sandals.
"Come in Bug." Stef called out and then the door pushed open and in stepped Callie, with the little girl in tow. Lena and Stef shared a look before focusing on the two girls.
"I've missed hearing that nickname." Callie said with a smile as she walked into the room, a pair of denim shorts on, runners and a red shirt with her sweater tied around her waist.
"I've missed saying it. Now come into the bathroom so I can clean your arm." Stef said as she walked into the bathroom, Callie following. Rylan took a seat on the bed next to her Mama so she could be around her Mama but also see into the bathroom from her position.
"Well, while you get her arm done, ill make a doctors appointment." Lena called to the two in the bathroom once she had done her shoes. Hearing that they had acknowleged her, Lena headed down the stairs.

Friday, Mid morning. Police station.
It was Mid morning by the time the girls were taken into an interview room at the police Station.
When they had arrived at the station, Stef introduced the girls to the Agents and then the girls were given the option of having their mothers present, an option they took.
Callie sat on one side of the wooden table with Stef on her right and Lena on her left Rylan sat in Stefs lap, cuddled in. She didn't want to relive this but knew she had to be here incase any questions they needed her to answer that Callie couldn't. The FBI Agents Callahan and McGuire sat on the other side.
A knock on the door sounded and the five turned to look at the door as it opened. Captain Roberts walked in and handed Callie the backpack she left in the Captains office yesterday. Callie gave the Captain a thanks as she left and the interview could now be held. Callie placed the bag on her lap and looked over at the FBI Agents.
Both agents had pulled out writing pads, had files in front of them and a voice recorder. The room had a camera aswell but the voice recorder and writing notes were also needed to capture everything.
With the agents items on one side of the table, the other side in front of Callie, Rylan, Stef and Lena were bottles of water. Callie was thankful for that because with the amount of talkng she was going to do, she would definitely need to drink.
"Now Callie, Rylan. We were hoping you could tell us anything you can about locations and people. Any detail could help." Agent McGuire asked, starting the interview. Callie looked at the agents before looking to each of her Mothers and the little girl situated on her mothers lap. Callie knew the little girl didnt want to relive being away from Moms. If Callie could she would protect her sister from having to speak about it.
"Would it be alright if you direct your questions to me? If you really need information from her you can, shes just not ready to relive the experience yet." Callie asked looking at the agents. Lenas right hand encased Callies left hand for support. Callie squeezed it in thanks.
"That can be aranged." Agent McGuire said after getting a nod from Agent Callahan.
"Ok, so could you tell us anything about locations, people, any details can help?" Agent Callahan asked. Callie nodded and looked down at the bag in her lap. She knew some things that she was going to say would shock her parents, make them upset or angry but she had to say everything to help catch these guys.
"Well Rylan and I were able to search through the second house but we didnt get to see too much of the first location." Callie started looking at her hands as she spoke.
"You were at a first location?" Agent Callahan asked. Callie looked up at her and nodded before speaking.
"Yeah, we were driven there for one night, thats when our appearances were changed and then we were taken to the second house." Callie explained and the agents nodded as they wrote in their notepads.
Callie opened the bag and looked through the papers before pulling out a few.
"This is the layout and information on the second house, i was able to get the security guards names and shift change routines." Callie explained as she placed the papers on the desk and pushed them towards the Agents before grabbing one of the waterbottles and taking a sip and putting it back on the table in front of her. Her mouth was starting to get dry from talking like she predicted it would.
"This is great work girls." Agent McGuire praised as he looked at the papers. The FBI and police had access to the house but with the girls being in the house for a week, they might have found something that the police and investigators couldn't find. Both Agents were interested in what else Callie had in the bag, though they would have to wait.
"Now can you tell us anything about the first house?" Agent Callahan asked as she set the papers Callie had given them down, focusing on Callie.
"Not much, we weren't there long enough. We were only taken their to meet the boss. Im pretty sure thats his main location. It turns out kathleen who is also known as Amanda from our camping trip is his daughter." Callie explained. Lena squeezed Callies arm In support as Stef moved her left arm to place it on the back of Callies chair so that her hand rested on Callies shoulder. Callie definelty felt the love from her Mothers.
"We have that information but thankyou for confirming it. We want to try an excersise see if we can get your brain to zone in on a time." Callie raised an eyebrow and looked at Stef. Stef gave a nod and thats all the Callie needed and so she looked at the agents and gave her consent.
"Can you do us a favour and close your eyes for me Callie?" Agent Mcguire asked looking at the teen.
"Sure." Callie said with a nod as she closed her eyes. She felt safe with her Mothers right beside her, their touch comforting her as she now had to relive the horrible day.
"Now, I want you to think back to the evening you were taken. What were you doing before then?" Agent Callahan asked.
"I was skipping with my sisters. I was teaching Rylan. She was laughing and having fun. Ive never felt so childish but I was enjoying it." Callie said with a smile, her eyes still closed. All the adults smiled.
"Good girl. Keep your eyes closed and stay in that moment. Can you hear a car or van approach?" Agen Callahan asked. She had to keep Callie in the moment. It was vital so that they could get the information they needed from Callies subconcious.
"Mariana is laughing at Rylans foot getting stuck in the rope. I bent down to help her and i could hear the sounds of an engine coming down the street. It was getting closer and then the screeching tires. I reacted on insinct. Rylan was in my arms as i felt arms take hold of her. I refused to let go, i had to hold on. Arms then surrounded me and then we were pulled into the van. All I can feel is fear, My heart was beating fast. The fear of not being able to protect my sister, the fear of never seeing my family again ran through me. The worst thing was seeing my sisters watery blue eyes filled with fear as she looks at me for help." Callie explained, her eyes flickering and watering as she remembered the fear coursing through her veins and the sight of the little girls tears.
Stef and Lena sat listening to their daughter relive that moment. Both had tears in their eyes. They couldn't even imagine being in that Moment. Both moms rubbed their hands on Callie in comfort, they could see the tears in the corner of the teens closed eyes. As much as they wanted to stop this interview, they knew they couldn't. This had to be told.
"Ok Callie, you are safe. Deep breaths." Agent Callahan said softly as she looked at the teen who was clearly upset but putting on a brave face. Just like her Mothers had said, the teen was brave, strong and protective.
"Ok, Now you are in the van and you are being driven to the first location. Can you hear anything? What do you see?" Agent Mcguire asked once the teen had calmed down a little.
Callie cleared her throat. Her eyes remained closed as she continued to remember that evening.
"They had us gagged, our hands tied behind our backs. The van was clean, very clean. I can see Kathleen and Daniel in the van, there are also two people who look to be men that are covered head to toe in black. There is a driver, I just can't see them and i can't see if there is a passenger. The windows are tinted but it can see the sky and roofs of houses." Callie continues to explain.
"Well done Callie. So now you arrive at the first location. What you you see, feel, smell?" Agent Callahan asks. Callie squeezes her eyes closed tighter and frowns as she thinks.
"The van. It topped and was turned off. We were blinfolded and then the door was opened. I can immediately smell salt. I..um I can hear boats and waves in the distance. A salty breeze is blowng from my left." Callie explaines as she contineues to frown and remember. She hoped that what she was saying was helping. It was just the little things right?
"Good girl. What else?"
"I stepped out onto hard pavement and I managed to count my footsteps. It was about two meters from the van on the pavement that it changed to gravel. I could hear the crunching under my feet and the rocks under my feet moving as I walked. We were walked down the gravel for about 40 metres, I can still hear the boats and waves to my left. We were then taken inside because I cant smell the salt or feel the breeze on my face." Callie said. Both agents were amazed at this girls thinking. The teen was definatly a smart girl.
"You did great Callie. You can open your eyes now." Agent McGuire said. Callie opened here eyes, blinking to adjust to the light of the room. Callie looked to from side to side at her Mothers and then down at her little sister on her Moms lap. Rylan smiled at her sister. Callie could see that the girl was thankful to not have to speak like this. Callie grabbed the waterbottle and took a few small sips to quench her thirst and soothe her dry mouth. Once finished with the water bottle she put it back on the table and then looked at the backpack in her lap and then up at the agents. Ready to tell them more now that she wasn't so thirsty.
"I have more information on where to look for the first location." Callie told the two agents who looked at the teen with peaked interest, hopefully this was the lead they have been looking for in capturing Patrick Dunn for the last 9 years. They were also wondering when they would see the rest of the contents of the bag.
"We are all ears."
"So..um...the evening we were taken, Mom got home around 5.30ish and not long after that we were taken so about 6 ish." Callie started. Agent Callahan nodded and looked at a file before nodding at Calie.
"Thats what the reports says, about 6ish." Callie nodded before continuing.
" Well, um, ok. When we went inside the first location, we were guided into a room where the mob boss Patrick was. The clock in his office read 6.44pm. So if i did the math, from being abducted at 6ish, the drive, the walk to the house, its around 30minutes give or take from my home to the location. " Callie told the Agents. Stef and Lena smiled, they were proud of their daughter. She really was a good problem solver, she had a keen eye.
"That gives us a very good idea on the search grid." Agent Callahan said as she jotted down information. They could get a search grid up and running with these details. It wouldn't be too long before the first location was found and Patrick Dunns arrest.
"Also on route to the second house, I knew i needed information if we escaped and so I blocked everything out and counted. Its about 42 minutes from the first location to the second. we were parked in the garage when we arrived." Callie explains as she places the rest of the papers on the table. The Agents reached over and grabbed the papers, looking at them with interest.
"They are just drawings of the layout of the first location. Its not very detailed as we were blindfolded except for in a room we slept and the boss's office. The rest of the papers are little bits of information Rylan and I heard while we were with them." Callie explaned pointing out the pieces of papers as the Agents looked over them, stunned at the details the girls had given them.
"That is amazing Callie, thank you. " Agent Callahan said with a smile, she really was grateful for this information. They had never had a kidnap victim give details like this. This case was definitely one in a million.
"Is there anything else you need from the girls?" Stef asked the Agents, really wanting to get this finished so she could take her girls home.
"Yes, we will be done shortly. We just need to know what your roles were? What did they have you do?" Agent McGuire asked. Callie looked at Rylan. The little girl was listening carefully but she was relaxed and safe in her Moms arms.
"They only wanted Rylan, I was just an added bonus. They had studied and watched us for a while apparently. Having two of us was going to be difficult to keep secret, they knew I would attempt an escape so they had to control us and they knew the best way to control us." Callie explained. Lena rubbed Callies arm softly, soothing her. Lena knew this was hard for the teen.
"How did they control you?" Agent Callahan asked.
"My love for my family is my weakness. I have always been told I put everyone before myself and they used that. They split us up during the day because at night, there were plenty of people watching. If I behaved nothing would happen to Rylan. If Rylan behaved nothing would happen to me." Callie told the agents. She hated that they knew her weakness and used that against her But she wasn't ashamed of protecting and loving her family. It was one of the worst things for someone to know about a weakness but she would always protect, it was in her nature.
"So they split you up? Wouldn't it have been easier to keep you together?" Agent Callahan asked. She hated how the Mob had stalked the family, using a girls weakness to control her was horrible. It was obvious that Callie loved her family, yet it was disgusting that they used the girls against each other as leverage.
"No,It was easier to handle us individually. They had leverage on us. They knew that I wouldn't try anything with Rylan not by my side and Rylan wouldn't try anything without me by her side. It worked. All I could do each day was behave and secretly study whatever I could about the location and people. The house was very secure. The person who designed that house had thought of every way to escape and had made changes so it wasn't possible. I wasn't going to give up, where there is a will there is a way." Callie told them strongly. The Agents nodded. The could tell the teen had been determined to escape with her sister, if the plans and paperwork in front of them was anything to go by.
"They definitely exploited your weakness. Everyone has a weakness, yours was just very easy to see. I can be a good thing or a bad thing and in this case it was a bad thing." Callie sighed and nodded.
"I know but I am not ashamed to love my family, I am not ashamed to protect them even if my weakness is exposed." Callie stated. Stef and Lena looked at their daughter with pride. Callie had definitely changed since day one. She would never show weakness back then but here she is now saying she isn't ashamed if people see that her weakness is loving and protecting her family.
"So while we were there, I was put in a very fancy basement and was told tp package drugs. They had to keep me at the house because they knew I would try anything if I was on the street. So instead Rylan was taken with a women called Jane out onto the streets to sell the packaged drugs." Lena and Stefs eyes grew wide in shock and then they became furious that their kids had been made to packaged drugs and sell them on the street.
"Who is jane?" Agent McGuire asked. He was angry that the mob had used children in their drug ring. The faster the mob was off the streets the better for everyone.
"Her name is Jane Warton. Shes a red haired, tall and slender lady with Brown eyes. She is one of Kathleens friends but is also kathleens personal wardrobe and makeup stylist. Rylan had to pretend to be her daughter. They said it wouldn't look suspicious for a mother and daughter to be talking to random strangers." Callie explained. She hoped it wasn't a fake name but anything could happen and with Kathleen having a fake name, no doubt Janes was fake.
"This is very important, did they make you take drugs?" Callie shook her head. She would know if she was given drugs and she would know if Rylan was given drugs.
"No. We were never given drugs." Callie answered verbally and the Agents nodded in relief. Stef and Lena let out the breaths that they didn't realise they were holding.
"Ok, thats good. I am very glad." Callie nodded with a small smile at the Agents.
"You know, It honestly wasn't a bad place at the start. The first day we were at the second location we met this man, Rylan Later told me he was the man who killed her Mom. He was arrested when we were found, his gun was the one that did this to my arm, even if his gun went off on accident." Callie told the agents as she lifted her arm to show the agents the bandage more. The agents frowned in thought and concern with this new information.
"Ah yes, Toby is a computer whiz, he tried to pose as Rylans uncle. Toby knows how to use a gun, I doubt his gun went off on accident." Agent McGuire explained. Stef and Lena sat up straighter now, eyes wide with concern that someone might have aimed for their eldest daughter.
"So this probably wasn't an accident?" Callie asked with confusion as she gestured to her arm.
"I don't know the details on what happened but it could have been on purpose. Toby doesn't accidentally fire a weapon, he knows how to use the safety on the gun." Agent McGuire told them. Stef sat in her chair, holding Rylan close while her left hand rubbed circles onto Callies shoulder softly. This just got a whole lot more serious.
"So his threat could have been real then?" Callie asked, her brow furrowed as she thought back to the day Toby had subtly threatened her. Stef and Lenas head shot towards Callies face, their eyes wide with disbelief.
"He threatened you? How did he threaten you?" Stef was worried as she asked the teen, she knew the Agents were the ones asking the questions but she had to know, a man had threatened her daughter, had shot her daughter. This was serious.
"I was just minding my own business in the kitchen of location two when Toby came in. I was in deep thought and he asked me if I wanted to talk. He had this evil looking grin on his face and this amused glint in his eyes. I told him no offence but I would rather not talk to him. He said non taken before saying that Rylans mom was a lot like me. I got angry that he was talking about her and called him a murderer. He just grinned bigger, he was amused by the whole thing. He told me that she was feisty and very protective which got her killed. He kept looking me in the eye. I asked him if it was a threat and he just chuckled and said take it however you like. He was amused to know that I was showing fear." Callie explained her interaction with Toby. She really was scared of Toby, although he was arrested now, he is a member of the mob, they can still get to you if they wanted.
"Was that the only interaction you had with him?" Agent McGuire asked. Callie sat for a minute in silence as she thought, she tried thinking of another time he talked to her but she couldn't think of anything so she nodded before elaborating.
"He never talked to us or me after that but he just seemed to be around all the time after that, always watching us, cleaning his gun at the table whenever we came to have dinner, always twirling his knife around whenever we were near." Callie explained thinking hard about that day of the threat and the days that followed.
"He was definitely instilling fear into you. He wanted you to know he was a threat. I say that you are lucky he missed." Agent McGuire explained to the teen. Callie sighed and nodded. She was definitely grateful. Lucky, well she didn't know.
"Mike tackled him so I don't know who he was aiming for then or if it really was an accident." Callie told the agents. She was just grateful to be alive, to be back with her family.
"We will figure it out for you. All that you need to do now is be with your family." Agent Callahan told the teen. Callie nodded before replying.
"Ok. I can do that. So, I don't know what else to tell you. You have all the information and papers we compiled secretly at the house. I hope it helps" Callie said gesturing to the papers she had given them. She was emotionally drained and emotionally tired. She really just wanted to finish this interview and go be with her family.
"Thank you Callie. I think that is all for now. If you think of anything else give us a call, if we need anything else we will call." Agent McGuire said as he stood along with Agent Callahan. Lena, Callie and Stef stood up as well with the little girl securely on Stefs hip.
"Ok, thank you Agents." Callie said shaking the hands that the Agents held out.
"No, thank you. I am glad you were found. Both of you." Agent Callahan said as she looked at Callie and then Rylan. The little girl giving a small smile as she clung to her Mother. One by one Stef, Lena, Callie and Rylan left the interview room after shaking the Agents hands.
"Callie!" Callie stopped ans turned at the sound of Agent Callahan's voice.
"Yeah?" Callie said back to the Agent, wondering what she was wanted for now.
"Do you want the backpack?" Agent Callahan asked as she held up the backpack that Callie had brought with her from the house, the one that she had put all the papers in.
"Honestly no. It was just to hold the papers in. You can keep it for evidence or throw it away." Callie said with a shrug. Agent Callahan chuckled and nodded.
"Ok, no problem. Goodbye ladies." Callie and the others smiled and waved back at the two agents as they headed out of the station.
The interview may have been long but Callie felt like a weight had been lifted off of her shoulders.
More to come.
I hope you all are enjoying the story so far. I know I am enjoying the whole writing process of it.
