I don't own any of the characters (except my own), 20th Century Fox and Isaac Asimove Inc.does.

But all the while I sit an think

of times there were before,

I listen for returning feet

And voices at the door-JRR Tolkien

When Spooner got back to the police sation he went to his computer to try and find all he could about Ellen Herz. There were several Ellen Herz born in Chicago in the last fourty years, most of them were still alive, but none had a match to the DNA of the clone.

Schlange walked up to Spooners desk with another pile of papers, this time it was all of the Ellen Herzs born outside of Chicago. Spooner took one look at the stack and let out a large sigh.

"I better be getting a raise for this." he muttered to himself before getting back to work. He searched the first two women, both were alive, bus were still not a match.Then he searched the next, and the next, until finally all of the reports were finished without a single clue unearthed. Spooner looked up at the clock: 10:32 P.M.
Spooner rubbed his eyes and wonderd if he should call it a night, if he hurried he might be able to have dinner with Calvin and Sonny. If he was lucky Calvin wouldn't be angery at him for being late. Spooner turned off his computer and walked out the building., when he got to the parking garage he took his car keys out of his pocket. He hit the unlock button and got into the car.

Spooner drove down several streets until he stopped at a red light, he checked the rear veiw mirror, he was about to turn on the radio when something in the back seat caught his eye.

Someone was in the car with him....

Sonny sat on Dr. Calvins couch. The television was off, Sonny had chosen to spend his evening reading instead. He had chosen, of all things, a book about child psychology. He didn't know why he chose it, it had looked intersting. And he had wondred what the connection was with human mothers and their offspring.

After reading a chapter he put the book down and thought about his creator, Dr. Lanning. Or as he sometimes called him, Father. Sonny still missed him, he missed how he had called him 'son', it was a good feeling knowing that someone loved you. Sonny put the book down and struggled with a old feeling made new again: greif.

Sonny quickly ripped out the paper he had written on and hid it when he heard Dr. Calvin coming down the hall. He opened the door to greet Calvin. He smiled and hid what he really felt like he had the note.

"Hello, Dr.Calvin. How was your day?"

"Good, you weren't bored being here all by yourself?"

"No, I read the entire day," Sonny said smiling,"Will Detective Spooner be joining us tonight?"

"It depends, you know he's a very busy man."

"Yes, I know. But I would still enjoy his company." Sonny said getting a dish out of a microwave while Calvin set the table. They waited for Calvin, when he didn't show or call Calvin started her supper. She and Sonny chatted while she ate.

Calvin was putting the dishes in the dish washer when her cell phone range. She recognized the number as Spooners.

"Listen, you don't have to explain...what? " There was a long pause while Spooner was talking ." Okay, I'll leave right now." Calvin hung up the phone."Sonny we need to leave. Spooner says to met us at this address. He sounds like he needs our help." Sonny nodded not asking any questions. He opened the door and he Calvin left the apartment.

Who's in the car with Spooner? Is it someone who can help with the investigation, if so why does he need Calvin and Sonny to help him? These questions will be answered in up coming chapters, check back soon and don't forget to reveiw!
