"We've got to find Dr. Michael Harmon," Parks stated, passing out the information available on the doctor to the team assembled in the conference room. "Peter Milkonovich signed a full confession on both the murder of Officer Rodriguez and the kidnapping of Angela Harmon."
"Did he give any indication of why he kidnapped the little girl?" Leanna asked, reviewing the information before her.
"He did," Parks explained, "Milkonovich said that Dr. Harmon 'hired' him to kidnap Angela and deliver her to him. He said that the plan was for Harmon and Angela to disappear."
"Why?" Calleigh asked curiously. "Angela's not his biological daughter. Harmon does know that, right?"
"He does, and apparently it makes no difference to him," Parks stated. "Dr. Harmon and Angela are extremely close. Apparently, Judge Harmon used the knowledge that Milkonovich was Angela's biological father to end her custody agreement with the doctor."
"Why would she do something like that?" Calleigh continued.
"Dr. Harmon was going to get re-married. The divorce was all his idea. Apparently Judge Harmon was a little pissed that their open marriage ended with the doctor marrying his mistress and her losing her lover."
"They had an open marriage?" Leanna asked.
"That's what Milkonovich said," Jonathan answered.
Leanna frowned. "But did Judge Harmon cooberate that?
"No," he shook his head. "Not yet, anyway. She's speaking with our agents in D.C. now."
"What about Harmon's fiancée?" Tim asked.
"Harmon broke it off with her a few days ago. Said his daughter was the most important thing in the world to him," Parks answered. "She said she had absolutely no idea he was going to run with the girl. He'd been compiling evidence against Judge Harmon for months. Trying to prove she was a bad parent."
"A nasty custody battle," Tim shook his head. "Good thing we're never getting divorced," he said to Leanna.
"So, they shared custody of Angela in the beginning," Calleigh recapped, "then Dr. Harmon says he's going to get married again, which makes the Judge angry, she tells him and everybody else, including the courts, that Angela's real father is Milkonovich, and negates the custody agreement she had with the doctor."
"Wow," Eric stated.
"And we have a dead cop to prove how ugly things can get," Horatio answered from his position leaning against a doorframe.
"So, even if Dr. Harmon gathered enough evidence against the Judge, how was he going to get custody back? He's not the biological father," Calleigh said.
"Milkonovich was going to sue for custody and present the evidence Dr. Harmon had compiled," Parks explained. "He didn't want the girl, but he did want to get back at the Judge. He was going to sign custody over to Dr. Harmon the minute he won."
"But what changed?" Leanna asked. "Why, all of a sudden, did they cook up this kidnapping scheme?"
Parks shook his head. "Milkonovich said he didn't know, that Dr. Harmon had called him a few days ago and told him it was imperative to get Angela out of the house right then. Peter arranged a visit with Angela and then ran. He met Dr. Harmon yesterday and delivered Angela. He was going to catch up with them later, after he'd bought some clothes and toys for her, per Dr. Harmon's request. That's when we caught Milkonovich."
"Dr. Harmon was patient," Leanna began. "He'd taken months to compile evidence against Judge Harmon. Something sent him over the edge. It has to do with Angela – maybe with her safety. We need to find out of anyone had been threatening the Judge or, more specifically, threatening Angela."
"I'll get the D.C. office on that immediately. In the meantime, Milkonovich said that when he dropped Angela off, Dr. Harmon was drive a late model BMW – white, four door sedan with Florida plates, probably a rental. Canvas the rental dealers in the area, maybe we'll get lucky and he used his own credit card. Dr. Harmon also owns a boat – specifically a 50ft. Benetueau Oceanis sailboat."
"Sweet ride," Eric whistled. "That set our neurosurgeon back a few pennies."
"So, you guys will shake down the judge, see what you can get off her," Tim stated to Jonathan. "We'll try to locate Harmon." He turned to the team. "Let's meet back here in three hours – talk about what we've found."
The group gathered their belongings and departed to begin their tasks, leaving Tim and Leanna alone in the conference room.
"You want me to run you home?" he asked, observing the fatigue displayed behind his wife's beautiful green eyes.
"No," she shook her head. "I'm involved now, I want to see this through."
"Lea," he began before being cut-off.
"Tim, I know better than anyone what I can and can't do. I'll tell you when it's time to go home," she stated plainly. Leanna stood from the chair and was immediately enveloped into Tim's strong arms.
"I love you," he sighed into her hair. "I'm sorry we don't have a baby already."
"Me too," she agreed, sinking deeper into his embrace. "But, it's probably for the best, I mean, we don't have a name picked out yet. I'd hate for your kid to come into the world without a name."
Tim kissed her forehead. "We just need to meet him, that's all, we'll have a perfect name then."
"I hope you're right, because we haven't agreed on anything so far," Leanna teased.
"Is it my fault you don't like any of the names I pick out?" he argued gently, wrapping his arm around her waist and leading her into the hallway.
"You pick out odd names, Tim, so yes, it is your fault," she grinned.
"There is absolutely nothing wrong with my choice of names, Leanna."
She stopped in the hallway and turned to him, laughing. "You're right, honey," she patted his chest. "There's nothing wrong with the names you've picked out – if you want your son to get beat up at school."
"I've picked out cool names," he argued, more forcefully now, "cool names for a cool kid."
"Okay, honey, whatever." Just then she doubled over in pain, grabbing Tim's arm for support.
"Lea?" he asked as her fingernails dug into his arm. "Contraction?"
"Nope, kick," she answered, straightening up again. "I don't think your kid likes us arguing."
"We're not arguing, kiddo," he told the baby, gently rubbing Leanna's stomach, "this is just lively conversation and we do this all the time, so get used to it."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Harmon's boat," Eric began to explain, "Named 'La Petite Ange', meaning 'The Little Angel' was docked in the harbor downtown until today. And he returned the rental car at about six o'clock."
"An hour before we found Peter in Wal-Mart," Tim said.
Eric nodded. "Sounds to me like he had no intention of meeting back up with Milkonovich."
"No, it doesn't," Parks chimed in. "What about the boat?"
"Coast Guard's looking for it – by sea and by air. They've been hailing the boat by radio, but there's been no answer," Eric said.
"Where'd you get with Judge Harmon?" Tim asked Jonathan.
"She's totally uncooperative, flew off the handle when I mentioned any threats to herself or Angela. We got nothing off her," Jonathan shook his head.
"So, we're at a dead end until they find Harmon," Tim stated, disgusted by this turn of events.
"Yeah." Jonathan ran a hand through his blond hair and bit back a yawn. "I'm going to the hotel for a few hours. Page me if anything comes up."
"That's a good idea." Tim turned his attention to the team. "Everybody go home and get some sleep. I'll be first point of contact and will page everyone if they find the boat."
