Frank's Daughter

Disclaimer: I dun own UC,sadly. But with this up, it be counting for ALL chapters from here on.

--Begin Chapter--

Frank stepped out of his office and walked to his daughter. His whole crew approached her as well. Frank motioned to them saying to his daughter, "Melissa, this is the team I work with. Everyone, this is Melissa."

"Hey," Melissa said. They introduced themselves to her.

"You met me earlier, I'm Alex Cross," Alex said shaking her hand. "Undercover agent."

"I'm Monica Davis, Profiler," Monica said shaking Melissa's hand.

"A profiler? Hey that's cool! Have you seen that TV show called "Profiler"? It's an awesome show!" Melissa said. "I wanna be a profiler or undercover agent!"

"Thanks," Monica said, smiling, she liked this girl.

"I'm Jake Shaw," A tall, good looking man with black said whom we have established as Jake Shaw. "Undercover agent."

"I'm Cody, the computer whiz," Cody said shaking her hand.

"Cool!" Melissa said. They then all took their seats at the table as another man came in.

"Hello team," the man said.

"Hello Agent Bloom," Frank said.

Agent Bloom just then noticed Melissa sitting at the table. He looked at the crew members with a confused look that also stated annoyance, "What is that kid doing here?"

"That kid, Agent Bloom is my daughter, Melissa," Frank said. Melissa smiled and nodded and waved at him.

"Why is she here, Donovan?"

"Because I have to take care of her for a week and evidently she has the week off of school. Spring Break."

"Well, can't you take her to a daycare or something?"

"I'd rather not, on the fact I don't get to see her often. My ex-wife doesn't like for her to be around me but none of my ex-wife's relatives can take care of her. So she left her with me."

"Then let her stay at your house."

"I'd rather not. If we got caught in a bad situation in one of our cases they could break into my apartment and kidnap her. I wouldn't like that, and I don't think that Melissa would either."

"Fine, she can stay here. But at least put her in your office at meetings."

"What harm can she do?"

"Put her in there now, Agent Donovan!"

Melissa got up and tossed her stuff in Frank's office then said, "I'll just go take a walk, Mister Bloom. Is that alright, Dad?"

Frank nodded, "But be careful."

"Hello?" Bloom said, near glaring at Melissa. He pointed to his badge. "That's Agent Bloom to you, er…what's your name again?"

"Melissa," The whole team and Melissa said at the same time.

"Yeah, Melissa. You will refer to me as Agent Bloom."

"Fine, what ever you want, Mis-er Agent Bloom," Melissa said then walked off to the elevators. Bloom glared at her as she walked off.

"Frank, just keep her at your apartment," BLoom said taking a seat. Then he passed Donovan the file he had. "Alright, new case."

~~Where Melissa is at~~

Melissa was pushed back to the rear of the elevator by other people going to the main floor. She rolled her eyes as another woman, bitchy looking at that walked in and pushed her back.

"Excuse me!" Melissa said with indignance. The woman just gave a mean look then they were silent. Melissa couldn't believe at how rude that Mister, oh I'm sorry Agent Bloom was to her. It was as if her were PMSing or something. Pah, well she'd have to think up of tricks to play on him throughout the week. Finally after like twenty floors the elevator opened to the main level where every went out, she barely made out when the doors closed. She pushed by all the people getting on. Sometimes she hated living in this damned city!

She walked out the front doors onto the busy sidewalk. She looked around and saw a Barnes & Nobles on the corner. She walked to it quickly. She loved to read books. She went inside the big book store and went straight to the fantasy section. She looked for her favorites author, Brian Jacques. His new book Taggerung had come out only a few days ago, and she only had the Long Patrol to finish before she would start Taggerung. She had all the Redwall book series except for the new book and she was finishing the Long Patrol. She saw the book's binding of the paper that cover the hard back book. Green with an oval that had a mouse in a green habit holding a sword and a shield that had the letter 'M' on it that was surrounded by clouds and beams of light in the background like it was taking place in a dream. She got the book of the shelf and saw the cover. It had an otter in the shallows of a pond carrying a dagger with a red pommel stone. It had a red hat on and to little bracelets made of blue and gold strings. She opened the book and began to read the first few lines. Already she was caught up in the wonderful world of Redwall. She then closed the book and check her money, she had a hundred with her for the week. Of course her dad would be cooking but her mom gave her money for anything else that may be needed.

She took a twenty and a ten from the wad of cash and put the rest of her money in her pocket and got up to go to the cash register. She waited in line for a register to be open when she saw, in a cardboard advertisement that had books in it another Brian Jacques book, it wasn't like the Redwall, she could see that. It had a blond boy about the age of thirteen or fourteen on the front with a dog near him leaning on a rock by the sea, in the back ground was a ship, from the 1400's sailing in the storm. It looked appealing, she walked over to it, loosing her place in line and picked up one of the books and opened the cover and read the summary. How appealing it was! A runaway boy and his black Labrador were stowaways on a ship called the Flying Dutchman. The boy was mute and could not read his only friend being a black lab that came on the ship while it was in Denmark. While rounding Cape horn, a cape full of storms the captain cursed at God and St- Elmo came and condemned them, sparing only the boy and his dog. Making them Castaways of the Flying Dutchman. (Seriously, you have got to read that book! It was way awesome! I loved it! Brian Jacques is a great author!) Seeing the price being $23.99 she put it back on the shelf and walked back in line re-taking her place despite the man's protests, who was behind her. Next up in line she bought Taggerung and left the book store head down the street past the Department of Justice building to the bank, where she knew a few people and decided to get a bit more money out so she could buy Castaways of the Flying Dutchman and still have a lot of money.

She entered the bank saying hello to the nice security guard she took her place in the long line. She looked around the big beautiful building. Thinking of the stories she read in books about the time Chicago was headquarters to mob bosses of the 1930's and a lot of cool stuff. Though it is still headquarters of mob bosses but the mob bosses now are just plain ruthless. She noticed a few men dressed in black come in wearing sunglasses. Too bad the windows were dark and the inside couldn't be seen from the outside because the group of ten men shot the polite security guard. Everyone screamed as the men pulled out machine guns and other men that were already in the bank pulled out guns too. Melissa's eyes were wide and she backed up a bit.

"Alright! Silence!" A tall white man with blonde spiky hair and a goatee yelled in a British accent firing his machine gun in the air, gaining a bit more panic but silence. The bank tellers had their hands in the air. "Now, you just do what we say and no one gets hurt. Unless the police do something stupid."

Everyone remained silent, worry plastered on their face as mothers kept their children behind them and people tried to stay behind someone, preventing Melissa from being in the crowd but she didn't worry.

~~~At the building office where Frank is~~~

"Everyone say hello to Edward Placid. To his gang he's known as Eddy Capone or Eddy the Executioner," Bloom said. Frank opened the file and read it. "He is like the Capone of our time. In fact his great uncle from the 1930s was Al Capone himself. He is one of the most ruthless killers of our time. His gang fears him because he also known as Pitiless Ed. He kills people himself, and has a lot of money from robbing banks and an industry he has. Perhaps you've heard of it, Placid Computers. Of course he steals money through his computers too. He has banks set up that use his computers. He also robs banks himself. He comes prepared though. He has snipers on top of buildings, he's backed up by ten men when he enters a back and about fifteen other men he had stationed inside the bank all going in at different intervals of time, no pattern at all."

"Well, it seems he does come prepared, he even has snipers?" Frank said, slightly amazed as the file was passed from person to person. Bloom nodded.

"Yes, he leads one of the largest gangs in America. He's on a most wanted list. There's a half million dollar reward on his head. You get three-quarter of a million if you bring him in alive. We're looking for him. Last week he robbed fifteen banks in the northern Chicago area."

"Well it looks like he's trying to get some attention," Monica said passing the file to Cody. "That's strange. Don't you think he has enough attention with his computer industry and banking?"

"That's the thing. He also has a twin brother. He makes his twin to do conferences and stuff. Besides his criminal record is only known as Eddy Capone or Eddy the Executioner. Though he likes to make it seem like he is innocent by making his brother do the conferences. But he actually is. His brother is his right hand man in the gang, though Placid likes to keep his twin brother a secret."

"And what is his brother's name?" Jake asked.

"Jonathan," Bloom replied. "Jonathan doesn't go with them to robberies, he's usually at conferences or meetings. He looks just like his brother. Though Eddy would usually distort his looks by adding a goatee of wearing make-up to look like he isn't who he is."

"Mm-hmm, and where is he now, supposedly?" Frank asked.

"Here in Chicago, that's why I got this case."

Just then someone ran in and said, "Hey! There's a bank robbery next door! Look out the window! You can see it! Police cars and everything! We think it may be Placid."

Everyone rushed into Frank's office to the window and saw the police cars and police men with guns at ready. Frank walked out of his office saying, "Come on, we have to set up a base."

"Why not use here?" the man who ran in asked.

"No, it's too obvious that we'd use here," Cody said gathering some portable computers and what not. "We have to set up somewhere else."

Then Frank stopped and said with worry evident in his voice, "Where's my daughter?!"
