Chapter 6: Meeting
Greg ran outside to meet the woman Warrick had just released
"Hey wait up" shouted Greg when he got outside and saw the woman getting into her car "Excuse me" Greg tried again to get her attention
This time it worked, Kamie looked up from her car to see Greg running towards her and she just stood still slightly worried about what was happening … had they come up with a reason to keep her there? They can't have done, she was innocent for starters hadn't she proved that already? Kamie argued with herself until she managed to calm herself down
"I'm sorry do you need anything else?" asked Kamie, clearly confused about what was happening and why this man was running after her
" Eemm… well, the thing is…." Started Greg without a clue about where he's going with it… 'Oh my god what do I do now?' He thought. 'Just say something, just ask her. Wow how can I possibly ask her this? A random person chasing after her to ask her about her life…. She'll think I'm crazy'
"Well, can I help you with something?" asked Kammie, very unsure about what was going on.
"Look, here's the thing, your DNA showed up as a partial match to mine, ok?" Silence "Erm… I Erm…. I had a sister called Kamie, she was kidnapped when she was three" Greg voice was a near whisper, but with the tears and look of disbelief in Kamies eyes, she heard him perfectly well.
"…That's impossible" interrupted Kamie in a voice just as light as Greg's was at that point
"I don't know anything about your life, but doesn't it seem a little odd that I had a sister called Kamie and now you're here with a partial match to my DNA" argued Greg who had suddenly found his voice.
"You keep saying this partial match business… what does that mean? Cried Kamie, clearly distressed by all of this information
"It means that you're a blood relative of mine" Said Greg
Silence filled the Las Vegas Crime Lab car park
" When I was little, my Dad was arrested and I was put into the system" Stated Kamie, tears still running down her cheeks. "I was adopted to a nice family and up until now, My life has been ok. Now you come to me and try to turn it all around again? Bringing up events from my life that I have tried so hard to forget? Why are you doing this? You must have gotten that information from my file… I'm telling the cops about this." Shouted Kamie
That was not the reaction Greg was hoping for, where did all that come from?
"What File?" asked Greg; clearly she wasn't going to believe him no matter how many times he told the story
"I don't know what you people have access to? There must be something in there about me?" Said Kamie
"No, There isn't" replied Greg, calmly "The only reason I'm here is because you were a partial match to me, ok? Your Dad was arrested? So was mine" reasoned Greg
"Look, when's your birthday? In fact scratch that here's my drivers licence… does the Date match yours?"
A shocked looking Kamie Townsend replied with the only answer possible "Yes"
"This might be an odd question but would you come back to my place with me? I've got other things to show you, I don't know if any of it would be useful but… maybe!" Said Greg
"Yes, I will… I sort of believe you but I really don't know why?" Replied Kamie, clearly not in this world any more with the dream like state she was talking in.
"This is my address, I take it you'd prefer to drive yourself there - just to show that this isn't a plot to kidnap you or anything" Joked Greg however Kamie really didn't seem too amused by this.
Greg and Kamie got into there own cars, 'Dammit, I haven't told anyone I'm leaving' thought Greg as he was about to leave the Car Park in his own car, he watched as Kamie reversed out of her parking space…'Too late now I guess I'll just have to make sure I'm not long and hope that no one wants me for anything between now and my return' Greg reversed out of his space and set off on his way home, He wasn't really paying much attention to anything, he was too busy thinking about what had just happened, He had met his twin sister, the person he thought was dead all these years. Of course there was always the possibility that this was all a very strange coincidence but that was virtually impossible, that a girl matching his DNA has his sisters name and her Dad was arrested when she was little while she was put into care… No, there was no doubt who Kamie Townsend was.
Finally, Greg arrived at his home not too far from the Crime Lab, Kamie wasn't there. 'Damn', thought Greg, of 'course she wasn't going to come, how could I have been so stupid', But while Greg was kicking himself for trusting this woman to come to the house of a person she doesn't know and who claims he's her brother. A car pulled up at his side.
Kamie got out of the car looking nervous "Hi, sorry it took me a while, I lost you along the way and had to try to find it myself" Said Kamie
"You came! When you weren't here I thought maybe you weren't coming Sorry about not keeping an eye on you to make sure you were heading right, I sort of, had my mind on other things I guess" Said Greg
"It's fine, what did you want to show me anyway?" asked Kamie
"Well, I have newspaper cuttings from you being kidnapped, the search and your dad getting arrested, plus a few old baby photos, they're all what my mum saved. Maybe they'll have some answers" Said Greg as he and Kamie walked up to his apartment.
"Oh I see, you know I've been thinking about it and odd things I remember and things that have been said actually match up to all of this. It's all just so surreal I guess" Said Kamie.
Greg stopped still when he reached the door to his apartment. His door was ajar, someone had broken into his home, was that person still here? Should he go in?
"I'm going to guess you didn't leave here this morning with your door open by any chance?" Kamie asked knowing the obvious answer but didn't know what else to say or do.
Greg didn't answer her, He was a little too shocked by the break in and worried that there could be someone still in there, armed.
"Stay there, in fact go back down to your Car, Call the police and stay there ok? I'll come back when I've checked things out, I won't be long" Whispered Greg, hoping to surprise anyone that was in there rather than warn them.
Kamie stayed still "I'm not leaving you, what if someone has a gun?" said Kamie, very worried now.
"If someone is in there, armed and dangerous, there's absolutely no point in both of us getting hurt. If you want to be useful, stay out of the way and call the police. Please" Begged Greg, fearing for his sister's safety.
"Ok" replied Kamie before running back to her Car and calling the police from her cell phone.
Greg slowly pushed the door to his apartment open fully and was shocked again by what he saw. The place had been turned upside down, chairs were on the side, tables tipped over, anything remotely breakable was broken, papers and files, were scattered all over the floor. But what worried Greg more than anything else was that at first glance, it didn't look like anything was taken. This wasn't your run of the mill robbery, this was personal. Whoever broke in here was looking for something specific and so probably new Greg in some way, either that or they had some sort of vendetta against him and this was a threat.
Greg walked into the kitchen, the same thing awaited him, cutlery and broken plates littered the floor, draws had been yanked from there places, tipped upside down so the contents were on the floor and the draws discarded into a pile in the corner of the kitchen where they had obviously been haphazardly thrown. Greg backed out of the kitchen and went to his room to check the damage and to see if he could find any clue to whether something had been taken or not. But Greg had another problem to face as he stared into the room, all he saw was the barrel of a gun staring back at him.
