Chapter 2
"What was that all about? I mean, that officer had the same last name as you." Amy asked Ashley in algebra class.
"I don't know. It's strange. There's not many Boscorelli's in town." Ashley replied.
"Yeah…he looked just as shocked as you did." Amy said, getting back to her work.

"You ok, Bosco? You look like you saw a ghost, or two." Faith asked, filling out paperwork.
"Faith. You know that girl. Ashley Boscorelli? Do you suppose? You know. My sister. My baby sister who was abducted 18 years ago?" Bosco said, with a look of confusion on his face.
"I don't know Bosco. It's a little far-fetched. But I don't know. Do you still have her baby picture in your wallet?" Faith asked.
"Yeah. Its my only picture of her." Bosco replied.
"Why don't you ask her? She may recognize it as her." Faith suggested.
"Yeah, your right. Lets go." Bosco said.
"You sure you want to do this?" Faith asked.
"I have to. If she is my sister, I'm bringing her home. And arresting the people who did this to my mom." Bosco said, while rushing out to the cruiser.

Bosco and Faith got to the high school just as school was ending.
"It's going be like finding a needle in a haystack. There are too many kids." Faith said.
"We'll find her. Go wait by that door. I'll wait here." Bosco instructed, anxious to find the girl.
After a few minutes, Bosco heard Faith's call. Bosco walked to Faith, Ashley.
"Is there anything wrong officers?" Ashley asked.
"No. I was just wondering. Would you like to go to the coffee shop in the next plaza?" Bosco asked.
"I can't, I have a bus to catch." Ashley said.
"Don't worry. We'll give you a lift home." Faith replied.
"Sure. I'll go." Ashley replied, wondering what this was all about.
When they got there, Bosco stood in line. Faith and Ashley went to find a table.
"What's the about Officer Yokas?" Ashley asked.
"Um, Bosco has a couple questions to ask you." Faith replied.
"So he buys me a coffee? Is that written in a police manual anywhere?" Ashley said, a smile growing on her face.
Bosco soon came to the table, with three coffees in hand.
"How was school?" He asked.
"Good. I got a lot of homework. Most of it is math. I'm terrible in it. I get so frustrated sometimes, I feel like tossing the textbook out the window sometimes." Ashley replied, taking a sip of coffee.
"Same impatient quality as Bosco." Faith thought to herself.
"Earlier today. You said your last name was Boscorelli." Bosco proceeded carefully; he didn't want to scare her off.
"That's right." Ashley replied.
"What is your parents name?" Bosco asked.
"Bob and Julia Smith." Ashley said, wondering where this was going.
"Why is your last name different?" Bosco asked.
"Well. Originally my last name was Smith. But I found out that I was adopted. They told me what my biological families name is, and I wanted to be called by that last name because that is who I am." Ashley explained.
Bosco took a picture from his wallet. It was his baby sister's picture. He handed it to Ashley.
"Do you recognize this picture?" He asked.
"Yes, I do. That's me. Now my question to you Officer is what in the world are you doing with it?" Ashley asked.
"That's my baby sister. That's you. You were abducted 18 years ago from my family." Bosco said.
"What was that all about? I mean, that officer had the same last name as you." Amy asked Ashley in algebra class.
"I don't know. It's strange. There's not many Boscorelli's in town." Ashley replied.
