"The Diary of Dana Stowe" By: Dr.StoweWannabe27
Chapter Eight-The Astonishing Discovery
December 22, 2003,
Dear Diary,
Three days till Christmas and I already got my presents a week ago. I am so excited to have Annie and Louise. I got a new nanny for them when I have to work. Her name is Clementine Vazquez. She is forty-one and is alone in Philly with no family or friends. She came from London and she wouldn't give her job back ground information. She only said that she worked with the FBI and nothing else. She got recommended to me by a friend, Elaine Jacobs whose daughters she baby-sat while they were smaller. So I didn't get to worried. I brought her in to meet the girls and they got along very well. I think we will become very good friends in the future.
She is very interested that I work in the medical field. And that I started a breast cancer research program in RWHC. She said her mother died of breast cancer and that she would like to know more about it. So I lent her some folders to read about the research and showed her a few ways to avoid getting the cancer.
She offered to be a live in nanny and work full time, but I thought it would be best to start slow. So she got an apartment near-by. Well I'll write tomorrow.
Yours Truly,
Dana
"Lu! Lu!" Lu lifted to see Nick running and screaming down the hall toward her. "What happened, Nick?" "Lu, it wasn't Dana!" Nick said reaching her. "It wasn't?" Lu said confused. Lu got the diary and her purse and went to the morgue with Nick. If it wasn't her, who could it be, she thought. They opened the doors to the morgue and found a group of detectives investigating the room for any identification and/or evidence. The second Lu looked at the body she thought it looked exactly like Dana. "But it looks like Dana?" Lu said in shock turning to Nick.
The doctors had given him permission to see the body so he told Lu that it wasn't Dana and motioned for her to walk up to the body with him. He lifted the paper blanket exposing her pale body. Nick picked the left hand and showed her that there was no ring and Dana had been so excited that she wore the ring 24/7, which Lu agreed to. Then he pointed out the separation of the skin and body coverings that the person had worn making themselves look exactly like Dana Stowe. Which confused Lu, because who'd want to protect Dana like that? He rolled it off and revealed the dead woman who sacrificed her own life to save the loving mother of two small girls who needed her very much. Lu immediately recognized the woman and started crying tears of joy and sorrow. She was so happy that her best friend had not been murdered, but she found out that it was another friend of hers that had been killed instead. Nick put his arm around Lu and helped her to a seat. Lu lifted her face out of her hands, "Nick, then where is Dana?" "I would like to know. I am so worried." He replied.
The female detective came walking towards Lu. "Excuse me, may we have a word?" "Yes," Lu stood up out of her seat wiping her tears with her fingers. The detective told Lu that she was sorry for her loss, but they could not find any identification on the body and she heard that Lu knew who the woman was. "Yes I do know who...who...she is." She said in a muffled voice yawning from the crying. "Who is it then?" asked the detective getting ready to write down the information in her note pad. "She is a friend of Dana's family and mine. Her name is Clementine Vazquez."
