Chapter •17•
《Jim》The plane just landed back in California and now I'm heading back to work to call Jack Adams and see of he's willing to meet up with me today when I get to work I walk in and head to my desk to call Jack Adams
Phone call (Jack and Jim)
《Jack》Hello Jack Adams speaking how may I help you?
《Jim》Yes this is Jim Jensen from the LAPD and I just got back from Boston and I was wondering if you have time to meet with me today?
《Jack》Sure where?
《Jim》I'll come to you
《Jack》OK I'll see you soon bye
End of call
《Jim》I get up and head out to my own car and head to Jack's place to talk to him about the night his wife Rachel died when I get there I get out of my car and walk to the door and knock then when the door opens I'm met with the face of Jack Adams
《Jack》Hi you must be Officer Jim Jensen? He nods come on in I move to the side to let the officer in then I close the door behind him and escort him to the living room where we sit down and start talking so what can I do for you officer Jensen?
《Jim》Um yes I'd like to talk to you about the night your wife died
《Jack》If you think I had anything to do with my wife's death then you're sadly mistaken because I was working that day
《Jim》Look I'm not accusing you of your wife's death, I just want to know what happen?
《Jack》Well as I said I was working when I came home I seen the door open and I know my wife closed it behind me but when I walked in and seen my wife laying on the floor with a knife sticking out of her chest I didn't know she was that depressed that she would kill herself I miss her everyday
《Jim》What if I was to tell you that I have reason to believe that your wife did not kill herself?
《Jack》What do you mean who would want to kill my wife?
《Jim》I'll tell you that, but first, did you see Brooklynn the night of or the night before your wife's death?
《Jack》Yes she was here the night before with my other daughter Marcy for our weekly family dinner she told us she was dating someone and that he was 20 and my wife Rachel was not happy that our 16 year old was dating a 20 year old man, wait a minute you think my wife's death was not suicide you think my wife's death was murder?
《Jim》Sadly yes I do
《Jack》I knew that guy Brooklynn was dating was bad news I want him arrested for the murder of my wife
《Jim》Wait a minute here I know that he didn't kill your wife
《Jack》How do you know that?
《Jim》Because he was attacked as well and he knows his attacker and he named her as your stepdaughter Brooklynn Avery and I know that she also killed your wife because Brooklynn went to her boyfriend and told him that her mother didn't agree with them dating and Brooklynn wanted her boyfriend to help her murder her own mother but her boyfriend refused to help her so she went along with the murder herself, I watch as Jack's facial features change confusion to sadness, I'm sorry to bring you this sad and devastating news
《Jack》Is there anything I can do to help bring Brooklynn to Justice?
《Jim》Not at this time I'm going to get this out on the news that your daughter Brooklynn is a wanted criminal
《Jack》OK if you need help don't hesitate to call, he nods and gets up and I get up with him and escort him to the door where he walks out and heads to his car and drives off so I close the door and walk back to the living room and sit on the couch and just cry, cry for the love of my life I look at the side table beside the couch and see a picture of my wife and myself on our wedding day that was the happiest day of my life marrying the love of my life I run my thumb across her face and look up at the ceiling and say I miss you Rachel I love you baby and I miss you everyday I promise you I am going to get Justice for your murder then I clench the picture to my chest and lay on the couch and cry myself to sleep
With Jim
《Jim》I just got done talking to Jack Adams and now I'm on my way to the news station to do a news coverage about Brooklynn Avery I walk up to Jacqueline Hill, hey Jackie
《Jacqueline》Jim Jensen to what do I owe this pleasant visit?
《Jim》Jackie I need you to get this information on the news I hand her the information and watch as she reads it then she looks at me and says
《Jacqueline》Oh my god you have my word it will be on the 6 o'clock news tonight and this picture that you provided me of the woman will definitely be plastered all over the news tonight along with the information
《Jim》Thank you so much bye I walk out to my car and call Jack
《Jack》I was sleeping when I heard the phone ringing so I sit up and answer it
Phone call (Jim and Jack}
《Jack》Hello?
《Jim》Hey Jack it's Jim I took the information to the news and it will be on the 6 o'clock news tonight but I have a feeling that once this information gets leaked to the news Brooklynn might come after you next so what I want to do is either put you in a safe house or have an officer stay with you
《Jack》What would be the safest thing to do and where is Marcy in all of this?
《Jim》I think putting you up in a safe house would be the safest thing and as for Marcy she's in jail
《Jack》You put my daughter Marcy in jail for no reason?
《Jim》No I put her in jail because she kidnapped two small children and then she tried to kill herself so all-in-all Marcy is safe
《Jack》Would I be able to see Marcy before I go into the safe house and do I have to change my name?
《Jim》Yes you can see Marcy before you go into the safe house and no you won't have to change your name because if this works and we can catch Brooklynn then you'll be able to come home again but there is something I do want to ask you?
《Jack》What's that?
《Jim》Marcy said that her biological mother abandoned her when she was a baby is that true?
《Jack》Yes it's very true so when do I have to go into that safe house?
《Jim》I'm on my way back to you right now
《Jack》OK I'll get ready right now bye
End of call
《Jack》I get off the phone with Jim and I walk upstairs to my room to start packing some of my clothes then when I'm done with packing I walk back downstairs and grab the wedding picture that I was holding when I was sleeping as I'm putting the picture in the duffle bag in between my clothes there was a car horn honk I walk over to the window and look out it to see that Jim is back to take me to the police station to see my daughter Marcy I walk out the door and close and lock the door then I walk to Jim's car and get in then we head to the police station, Jim is Marcy safe Brooklynn can't get at her right?
《Jim》Yes she's safe she's in jail with a bunch of cops looking after her and once a day a rehab doctor comes in to see her
《Jack》Rehab why? My daughter is not a drug addict
《Jim》No I know but when she kidnapped those kids after I found Marcy and those kids I gave the kids back to their father then I went into retrieve Marcy to take her to jail but she was not where I put her I found her in the bathroom of the house that she took the kids to on the floor unconscious because she took antipsychotic medication prescribed to Brooklynn Avery
《Jack》Do you know who those kids were?
《Jim》I'm not at liberty to say right now but just know that those kids are safe and back with their father now, and we are here I get out of the car followed by Jack and we walk into the police station and I take him to see his daughter when we get to the jail cells I walk up to Marcy's jail cell, Marcy you have a visitor when she gets up I unlock the door and move out of the way so Jack can walk in to be with his daughter
