Chapter 9
Whispers of Love from the Past
The captain stood back stunned.
"Repeat what you said Data." Picard stammered.
"Captain…I have found only one family survivor of Angela Jackie Chandler sir…Perhaps we should step of the…."
"Data he meant the part on who was the family survivor." Riker corrected.
"Ah yes, it is you Captain." The captain nodded his head, regaining his composure.
"Are you sure Data?" Captain Picard asked.
"Affirmative sir, as you have mention before…do I need to recall when sir?"
"No Data just finish your explanation."
"Yes sir as I was saying you have mention before that your family was explorers. Angela Jackie Chandler's mother's maiden name was Picard sir. Now Angela Jackie's parents only had her and her brother Jimmy as their offspring, and Jimmy never produced offspring of his own, because according to the records he was killed in the Vietnam War-June 7, 1967 at 6:15…"
"Data please!"
"Yes sir sorry sir….as I was saying other than the Picard line, Mr. Chandler was an only child as well as Mrs. Chandler, and the Chandler family is hard to trace on the grounds that it is a common name and other than the annual census's, that the family did not fill out, the records are to primitive to trace." Riker smiled, he always loved Data's analysis but what really got him was the captain's face.
"Captain…" Commander Riker tried to sound concerned, but the smile on his face read that he was quite amused. The entire bridge had averted their attention to their captain.
"Yes well thank you Data." Picard replied obviously unsure how to react. "How about how to get her back have you figured that out yet?" Data thought before speaking.
"No sir, the Federation database only contains hypothesis's of space travel, none have been attempted or proven scientifically possible, and Simon Danieals kept no records of his research, and there is no proof on how he ever ended up in the 20th century." Data informed.
"Yes well thank you Data, I will call the girl in as soon as I'm ready."
"Captain." Riker called after him.
"Yes number one."
"Permission to speak freely?" The captain eyed him suspiciously.
"Permission denied. You have the bridge number one." With that he turned and went into the turbo lift. Riker turned to Worf.
"He's always been fascinated with history, but how do you think he will be able to maintain a child from the past?" He asked in almost a joking manner.
"The captain is a warrior sir, he can handle a child." Worf seriously responded.
In Ten-Forward
"Guinan do you ever miss your family?" Angela Jackie innocently asked, enjoying her second bowl of ice cream.
"Yes I do." Guinan sincerely responded.
"Does your heart hurt when you think about them?"
"Sometimes." Angela Jackie played with the melted portion of her ice cream. "But I always can remember them and the good times we had." Angela Jackie smiled memories of Hawaii, home and yes even cold Virginia flooded her mind.
"Yeah me too." Guinan looked on sympathetically.
"You know you can hear a voice recording of them its on the databanks I believe." Guinan offered.
"A what?" Angela Jackie looked up confused, she was unfamiliar to this term.
"When you went missing, your parents went on the radio asking for help to find you. The databanks are like an electronic library, you can listen to that radio program just like you can pull up and read an old book." Angela Jackie's eyes lit up.
"Really?"
"Yes would you like to go listen?"
"Yes!" Angela Jackie squealed, finishing up her ice cream quickly she didn't even notice the brain freeze she got, and then jumped from the bar. "Let's go!" She ran behind the bar taking Guinan's hand. Guinan took her by the hand and led her to a computer.
"Computer pull up radio programs from Earth, United States, Virginia 1942." She smiled at the young eager child who sat in awe as the computer pulled up records by the command. "Now can you eliminate all programs that do not contain the name Angela Jackie Chandler." The computer did so, and one program that lasted for eight minutes topped the list. Guinan activated the program.
--
The familiar sounds of the radio began the program, a local announcer whose name Angela Jackie could not recall was speaking.
"This evening were joined by Captain Chandler and his wife as many of you may or may not know there daughter has been missing since last month from…" Angela Jackie continued to listen absorbing the nameless announcer's voice like the last bit of light, from the setting Hawaiian sun. Then a voice Angela Jackie would never believe she would miss so much came over the speakers.
"To anyone who is holding our little girl, we ask you to please return her she means the world to us and we miss her very much. Angela Jackie if you can hear this we miss you very, very much please come home baby girl, and you'll always be Daddy's little girl, I love you." Tears were trickling down Angela Jackie's eyes.
"Please whoever took my baby just please return her, we miss her so much. Angela Jackie if you can hear me I miss you so much everyone's misses you, and just to let you know I love you and so does Jimmy and everyone in our family, please come home baby girl." Her mother was in tears as she choked her way through her speech. The mike was returned over to the announcer who went on to describe the efforts the government was taking in trying to recover Angela Jackie. Angela Jackie turned toward Guinan and cried right into her dress.
"I'll miss them." She cried. Guinan sat there stroking the girl's hair.
"I know." Guinan simply responded as a tear of her own trickled down her cheek.
What do y'all think? I'd really appreciate some input on where to go from here.
