Chapter number 24. Who are you?

"Martha there's something else I think you should take a look at" Jack told her opening his black bag again and pulling out the file that Harry had faxed him and handed it to Martha.

"What is it?" Martha asked taking the file in her hands.

"It's some statements from close friends and neighbours of Alex".

The room was in silence as Martha read through the pages of statements. "So are you suggesting that he's been keeping Amy up in the second floor of his house for the last year and a half of her life?"

"Well that's what it looks like" Jack answered her.

In Steve's hospital room things were not going well at all, his heart had stopped working and there seemed to be a new problem every minute. "he's not breathing" The nurse declared.

"Well why the hell isn't his life support working then" the doctor yelled, he had promised the police that they would make sure that Steve got better so that he could be sent to jail.

"I don't know" the nurse replied. "I can't feel a pulse".

"Take him into surgery now" The doctor ordered.

More nurses came into the room and took Steve's bed down the hall way to surgery, but by the time they got there Steve was already dead.

Over in England it was about ten in the morning and Harry had just got a call from Jack saying they had the right guy. "Ok, I want a gun squad down there as back up and I want some extra officers there to help surround the house".

"Um, do you really think all that's necessary sir?" the junior constable named Troy asked.

"Look, the guy's dangerous , why don't you just be quiet and let me make the demands around here ok" Harry told him very sternly.

"I'm sorry boss I was just saying".

"No you were just saying a load of garbage, now go and get my orders sorted, were leaving as soon as possible" Harry demanded.

Troy did as he was told and informed the other officers. "Is he out of his mind, we don't need the gun squad down there" one of the other officers exclaimed.

"Well just take it from someone who knows, he's in one of his bad moods today" Troy told them.

"Oh, ok. Thanks for warning us" she thanked him very graciously. "Ok guys you heard the boss, get the gun squad over here as soon as possible" she ordered as she turned around to face all the other officers.

About fifteen minutes later the police had surrounded the house of Alex Murry with the gun squad waiting just around the corner in case they were needed. "Ok, Troy, you come with me and search the house, I want the rest of you to say here and stop Alex from escaping" Harry instructed them all. "Is that clear everyone?"

"Yes sir" they all replied in unison.

Harry and Troy approached the front of the house and knocked on the door, Alex opened it and as soon as he saw the cops at the door he tried to slam it closed, but Harry managed to stop him, they put Alex in hand cuffs and escorted him to the car while they searched through the house.

"You search down here and I'll go upstairs" Harry instructed.

Harry made his way up the stairs and looked around at the room that was at the top, he studied it carefully, there were lots of toys that were all arranged nicely on a small child's sized couch, and more toys like Barbie dolls and unicorns that were scattered around on the floor, at the the walls were a pretty shade of pink and there was a rack of dress ups at the side of the room, On the far side of the room was a little girl with long dark brown hair in a light pastel green coloured princess costume with a plastic silver coated tiara on her head, she was looking into a tall skinny mirror that stood up off the floor on wooden legs.

"Who are you?" the little girl asked nervously turning around to face Harry.

Next time:
