As soon as Lucy left the driveway and he knew she was gone, he stood up and started to survey the backyard of the Kinkirk home. He had a job that needed to be done so it was only fair that he would check out the place. After hearing the conversation between Lucy and her two kids, he knew that they were going to stay at their grandparent's house tonight, which would make this job a lot easier than what he had previously thought.
It had taken him almost three years to track these people down…every night up until the night he finally found out where they lived, he searched through endless amounts of paperwork.
It had taken him just under 6 months to keep track of their movements, their schedules and even the times that they went to bed and got up. He wasn't a pervert or anything…he just wanted what that women had…her necklace.
He leaned against the part of the house where he was hidden from neighbors who would wonder what he was up to. All he had been thinking about for the last 6 months was that stupid necklace…and it was all because of the stupid cop who bought it.
Brad had been working at Waterfall Jewelers for three years when a cop had pulled into their parking lot.
There had recently been a rash of break-ins in Glenoak which of course he was responsible for. He thought he had gotten away with it until the cop walked into his store. His hands started to sweat and he started to pace back and forth trying to think of a good reason to leave when he heard Kim approach the officer.
"Good afternoon sir is there anything that I can help you with?" she asked him sweetly.
"Actually, I'm looking for a gift…a gift for my fiancé…you know a wedding gift" he told her walking around looking at the display cases of necklaces and chains.
Brad peeked around the corner checking out the cop and breathed a sigh of relief…he wasn't there to arrest him…he was there to buy a stupid gift for his fiancé.
"Well you have come to the right place" he heard Kim chuckle at the cop.
He decided that this was going to be one interesting customer to watch, so he positioned himself behind the jewelry repair counter hidden by the wall to listen in on their conversation.
He watched Kim walk over to her drawer and pull out a set of keys and a show pad just incase the officer wanted to see something.
He watched him walk along the display cases until he came to a stop at the hand made cross displays…that was when he knew he had found something.
"Find something?" she asked walking over to see what he was staring intently at.
'Yes, actually I have…the sign says that you guys hand make these" he told her pointing out the hand made white gold crosses through the display case.
"We sure do…is there one you are interested in particularly?"
"That one…right there…it's perfect for my fiancé…she is in seminary school and this would defiantly be the perfect gift" Kevin told her chuckling to what he just said and reached for his wallet.
Kim laughed along with him before she turned around and grabbed an order form and a pen…she had a feeling this was going to be one of her better sales of the day.
"Is there anyway way you can have birthstones added to the cross?" he asked her setting his wallet on the counter.
"Yes, you can have anything you want added to your order…but it will cost an extra $200 per birthstone for that particular cross sir" Kim replied writing down the SKU number for the cross Kevin had picked out.
"Money's no option for my Lucy" Kevin replied whipping out a credit card and handing it over to Kim.
Brad's ears perked up as soon as Kevin spoke those words.
"BINGO" he thought to himself…a cop with money was a careless cop when it came to his home.
He ended up walking over towards one of the fisher price play area things trying to figure out the perfect escape plan after he had taken the necklace. He walked up to the sliding glass door and jiggled the handle to see if it was unlocked…but as usual it wasn't.
Already starting to get pissed, he reached for his wallet that was in his back left packet and pulled it out. He dug around for a few seconds before he produced what was needed…a lock pick.
He started to pick at the lock when he heard the familiar "click" that signaled he had successfully unlocked the sliding glass door. He tugged on the handle…one, two, three more times and it wouldn't budge.
"Damn" he swore under his breath when he realized why the door wouldn't budge.
That damn cop was smarter than he had thought…he had placed a 4x4 board in front of the track.
"Son of a bitch" he yelled out loud kicking the side of the house. He was pissed…he needed to get into that house to steal the necklace…and now his only way in was blocked…he needed another way to get in…to get that stupid necklace.
That was when he realized he had a perfect plan…something that he never would have come up with if it hadn't been for yesterday's paper.
Lucy put her right foot to the gas…thanks to the morning train she was late dropping Luke and Abby off at her parents house.
"Momma?" her little girls voice interrupted her thoughts
"What is it sweetie?" she replied looking at Abby in the rear view mirror.
"Daddy gone bye-bye?" she asked looking out the window.
"Daddy went to work…remember?" Lucy reminded her daughter adoringly as she pulled onto Alta Road…where her parents have lived for the last 28 years…almost as old as her older brother Matt was.
She heard squeals of excitement from the back seat and she knew they spotted Annie and Eric's house up ahead and laughed...they were the only kids out of the Camden clad who were always happy to see grandma and grandpa's house.
She flipped her blinker on waiting to turn into their driveway when she heard a little voice from behind.
"Potty" Luke told her with a big smile on his face when she looked in the rearview mirror.
"Ohhh…Luke…" she sighed pulling into her parent's driveway and putting the car into park.
Annie who had been waiting patiently walked out onto the front porch as soon as Lucy had pulled into their driveway.
"Need some help?" she yelled across the yard.
"Yeah, I'm running late thanks to the stupid train" Lucy yelled back opening the back driver's side door to get Abby out of her car seat.
Annie walked down the front porch steps and over to the back passenger side door and opened it to help Lucy out by getting Luke.
Lucy who had already grabbed the overnight/diaper bags closed the door and walked around the car holding Abby's hand.
"Thanks mom" she sighed guiding Abby up the steps, when she heard the screen door open.
"Gwanpa" Abby said cheerfully letting go of Lucy's hand and walking towards Eric.
"Hey Luce…are you late again?" Eric teased scooping Abby up in his arms and taking the diaper bags from Lucy.
"Yes, first Kevin decided to try and dress the twins himself instead of waking me up when he should of, and then the stupid Amtrak train decided to break down on Scott Lake Rd this morning…so the answer to your question would be…yes I'm late" she answered blowing the bangs out of her face…stupid hair…she was suppose to have gotten it cut yesterday but Kevin didn't come home in time for her appointment.
"So that's why Luke has one blue and one pink sock on" Annie laughed showing Lucy the socks.
"Thanks again for keeping them overnight…we both appreciate it a lot…and don't forget to change Luke diaper!!" she told her parents kissing both of her kids on the top of their heads before she headed off the porch.
"Bye Abby, Bye Luke…be good for grandma and grandpa" she yelled to her two kids sprinted towards the car and hoping in.
She buckled her seat belt, started the car and looked at the clock…it was 8:55 and she had only 10 minutes before her class started.
Kevin pulled into the Glenoak PD parking lot…and already there was chaos with the construction that was going on. They were adding on to the PD department building and the parking lot was tore up…which meant no parking which usually meant that it was going to be a long day but smiled to himself thinking of what was waiting for him when he got home.
15 minutes after pulling into the parking lot he finally arrived at his desk only to see someone occupying his chair…Roxanne Richardson
"Richardson get out of my chair" he told her running his fingers through his hair.
"Nope…can't…I was told to sit here until you came in…which by the way do you know you are exactly 15 minutes late?" she teased getting out of his chair.
"How do you always manage to find a parking spot?"
"I always get here in plenty of time…I'm never late" she mocked, sitting down at her desk that was opposite of his.
"Yeah…well you don't have two one-year old twins and a crazy wife at home do you?"
When she just rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to a folder that she started to read he knew that he had won that comeback contest.
He threw his stuff into the bottom drawer and sat down…just in time for Captain Michaels to come walk over to their desk with Dylan Spencer…an old partner of Kevin's before he was assigned with Roxanne.
"Kinkirk, Richardson… Spencer is going to work with both of you on the Williams case"
"What for?" Kevin questioned looking up from his paperwork
"It's been 6 months since their house has gotten broken into…we need to solve it before another house gets hit" Captain Michaels replied leaving them alone to stare at one another.
"Where do we start?" Roxanne wanted to know.
"Well…I guess we could go interview them again…who knows maybe they remembered something" Dylan responded flipping through the file that Captain Michaels left.
"Works for me" Roxanne answered grabbing her jacket.
"Same here" Kevin added reaching down for his jacket when he groaned.
"Wouldn't you know…I left my jacket at the house…can we swing by to let me pick it up?
"Kinkirk!" Roxanne exclaimed rolling her eyes walking towards the exit sign.
"Well…the William's only live a few streets down from Luce and me…so it's not like it would be a hassle"
"Well it's a pain in the ass for me" she shot back pushing the doors out to reveal a dark and dreary looking sky.
"Knock it off you two" joked Dylan…he had been partners with Kevin before he got the promotion to detective and worked with both Kevin and Roxanne three years ago on another case and he never knew two partners who teased and joked around as much as they did.
"Yeah, knock it off Kinkirk" Roxanne retorted, walking over to their squad car and opening the passenger side.
"Hey what is this? Gang up on Kevin day or something?" he asked innocently looking between both Dylan and Roxanne.
"It's gonna rain and I don't want to drive…so it's your job" she told him leaning up against the opened door.
"I'm always the one driving…how come you never drive?" he whined, joking around with her as he hopped into the squad car.
"Because I'm a girl" she answered proudly before Dylan busted out laughing from the backseat.
'I'm so glad I was assigned to you guys, you two make my job 100 times easier" he chuckled.
"That's great to know Spence…but we really don't care" Roxanne told him seriously before catching Kevin's eye and couldn't take it anymore…her shoulders started to shake with laughter and pretty soon the whole squad car was joining in.
15 minutes later on the outskirts of Glenoak in a small town called Stoney Creek. Kevin, Roxanne and Dylan turned onto Baybrooke Drive, where Lucy and Kevin lived.
As Kevin drove around to 2421 Baybrooke Drive, when he noticed that the same dark blue Honda civic was still sitting across from their driveway.
"That's odd" he thought to himself pulling into his driveway…that car was there when he left for work this morning and it was there the day before that and the day before that.
"I'll have to take a look at it when I come home" he suddenly said out loud to the two other passengers in the quad car.
"Take a look at what?" Roxanne asked curiously.
"That Honda that's parked on the street, every time I leave for work it's there and every time I come home it's there"
"How long has it been there for?" Dylan asked the detective in him was already starting to show interest
"A few days or so…" Kevin slowly answered back trying to recall.
"Maybe it's a neighbor's car?" Roxanne suggested
"No…I don't think so…It's been here almost every day this week and every day last week" Kevin replied putting the squad car into park.
Roxanne frowned as she stared at the old rust dark blue Civic…there was something about that car that didn't seem right…oh well…maybe it was just the Character profiling in her that was starting to show up.
What the three didn't see was a man walking quickly out of the Kinkirk's back yard and darting towards the sidewalk…
"I'll be a sec" Kevin told Dylan and Roxanne opening the squad car's driver side door.
He walked up to the garage and grabbed his keys out from his pant's pocket and unlocked the door.
He walked through the garage almost tripping over Abby and Luke's outside toys a couple of times…he made a mental note to remind Lucy to buy some Rubbermaid containers for their toys.
He got to the door that went from the garage to the house and unlocked it.
Stepping into his house he glanced at the laundry room out of habit that was to the left of him before walking into the family room looking for his jacket.
Walking towards the kitchen he spotted it on the kitchen chair where he had been sitting that morning watching the twins feed themselves…rolling his eyes he grabbed it when something caught his eye…
The sliding glass door was unlocked…which was odd because both himself and Lucy always remembered to lock it when they left the house…even if they were going down the street they always locked it
With a sigh he walked over and locked the sliding glass door before heading towards the back door. He stopped and turned around and walked back into the kitchen tearing off a piece of paper that was on the refrigerator door and started to leave Lucy a note.
Luce, the note started out.
Don't forget to lock the sliding door when you leave next time…I don't need anyone stealing my wife from me he wrote and put a little smiley face next to it before adding the next section.
I'll see you when I get home tonight…I won't be late I promise!
Love, Kevin he signed his name and started to leave when he forgot his jacket that was sitting on the counter and raced out of the house locking the doors as he exited.
Watching the cop race out of his house gave Brad the satisfaction that he needed…not only had he figured out an escape route while the stupid cop was in his house…he also figured out a way to get in the house…not illegally either…he was going to be invited into the house.
Walking down the sidewalk with his hands in his pocket he paced back and forth until the cop and his little posse left…Brad didn't want to take any chances of that cop catching him in his Honda…or else the cop might become to suspicious and want to strike up conversation…which always left Brad uneasy when cops did that.
Looking behind him one last time making sure that the cop was gone for good he walked over to this car and opened the drivers side door and got in and closed the door…the first thing he grabbed was yesterday's morning news…with Lucy Camden-Kinkirk and her father Rev. Eric Camden on the front page…
Chuckling to himself he realized that for once in his life…this job was going to be the easiest yet.
