CHAPTER 3

three days missing


Warrick raced down the hallway and toward Brass who was in his office.

Without knocking he walked in and dropped a file on his desk.

Brass looked up at him, his eyes asking what do you want.

"Erick Baker." Warrick blurted " The prints we ran on Afis just came back, they have been running through the systems for two hours. And finally they came back "

He sat down

"Erick Baker..the same Erick Baker who's wife and daughter mysteriously disappeared three years ago, The same Eric Baker who was brought in for questioning in the disappearance of Elizabeth and Kady Darrin, the same guy that was interviewed by Catherine and surprise surprise , Eric Baker was employed at the same store Catherine and Lindsey went missing in, and coincidentally he hasn't been seen since a few nights before, he never showed up for his shift the night after they disappeared."

Brass leaned forward in his chair. " WE had the bastard, everything about him screamed yes, but the evidence wasn't concrete, his prints were on everything because he worked there, we had no concrete connection with the victims," he paused " I was with Catherine when she interviewed him, he knew what he did and he knew we couldn't prove it, we had to let the slim bag go and now..." he trailed off " No one tells Gil about this, until I give the okay..go let the others know."

Warrick nodded a little confused as to why he was keeping it from Gil but he didn't object,If Brass had an alteriour motive that would aid in the safe return of Catherine and Lindsey who was he to interfere?


Gil sat in his living room, the same way he had been for the past three days. He didn't know exactly what to do with himself. He tried eating but it just made him think of how they used to make meals together, he tried sleeping some more but his dreams were about his family,the things they had done, the things they never did, and the things they might be doing right now..and even worse the things their abductor might be doing to them right now.

Gi looked around his house everything he looked at reminded him of what he had lost, and he wondered if they would ever be found.

He sat aimlessly staring at the wall for a moment or so more when his door bell rang.

he got up slowly and walked toward the door. He wondered what or rather who would be at his house at this time of night. He flipped on the porch light and swung the door open. There on his front porch stood Catherine.

Gil shook his head, he was a little confused.

"Catherine?" he reached to her, he noticed her face was bruised and beaten, her body trembled her clothes were ripped and dirty and her hair was short, and brown.

Gil reached to her..she took a step back.

"Catherine?" he whispered to her " It's me, come in side" he reached again this time taking a step out side his house. But again she backed away.

Once more Gil reached and stepped forward. Catherine kept backing away. This went on until Catherine was in the road. Gil a few steps behind. he reached for her again when he saw the van speeding toward them and a man jumped out to grab her.

"CATHERINE!" he screamed

Gil shot up from the couch. His body soaked with sweat. He looked around. The house was still dark and empty. It was all dream...but then he heard it. The door bell was ringing. He swung his feet over the side of the couch for a moment he paused making sure he was truly awake this time.

He walked to the door and swung it open.
