Daddy's Little Girls
Martin looked at Jack before heading out the door after Sam.
"Sam!" he called rushing after her. She stopped in her tracks and turned to face him, tears were threatening to fall from her eyes. Martin walked over to her and enveloped her in a hug.
"What's got you so upset?" Martin asked her.
"Just that they tried to get away and he killed one of them," Sam said, she lifted her head off Martin's shoulder, "the worst thing is, we don't know which girl he's killed."
"We'll find the girl before he has a chance to hurt her anymore," he said.
She lifted her head and smiled slightly, he kissed her forehead before letting her go.
"Thanks Martin, can't believe how much I just lost it then," she said slightly annoyed with herself.
"It's ok we're allowed to be affected, if it didn't affect us we wouldn't be human."
Jack, Vivian and Danny headed out of the computer room to see Sam and Martin in the middle of the room hugging.
Jack had never seen or known Sam to get this worked up about a case. Sam and Martin both stepped out of the hug and noticed the others sitting at the table waiting for them, they both walked over and sat at the table each giving each other a small smile. Jack noticed and couldn't help but feel a little jealous, he had been the object of her feelings for so long and now Martin had swooped in and took over.
"Are you ok Sam?" Danny asked looking at his friend.
"Yeah Danny I'm fine thanks," she replied smiling at him.
Doug came out of his computer room and headed over to Jack and the team, "Jack you might want to come and hear this."
Jack stood up and followed Doug while the others stayed put at their desks following up any leads.
"What is it Doug?"
Doug pressed a couple of buttons on the computer and another call to 911 could be heard.
"911, what's your emergency?"
"Please help me," came a whispered voice.
"What's your name and where are you?" the lady asked.
"My name is Lacey Smith, I'm in an alley somewhere please help, he is after me."
"Ok, is there a street sign anywhere?"
"I can't see anything, I'm too scared I can't come out from where I'm hiding," she whispered again.
"Are we tracking this call?" Jack asked looking at Doug.
Doug nodded towards another computer, which was tracking Lacey's call.
"We've found her," Doug said as the tracking system stopped on where the young girl was.
"Thanks Doug," Jack replied writing down the location of the little girl and heading out to his team, "we've got her location, Vivian and Sam can you go and get her?"
"Of course," Vivian and Sam replied leaving the office.
"Guys keep looking for evidence on our kidnapper, I'm going to be out for a while, I'll be back shortly," Jack said looking at Martin and Danny. They both nodded and got on with their work.
Jack left the office and got in his car heading out to pick up his girls.
Sam and Vivian were driving through the streets of New York finding Lacey's location.
"Should be here," Sam said as Vivian stopped and parked the car. They both got out of the car and looked around the streets.
"Lacey!" Sam called as they both headed into the alley where she was supposed to be.
"Lacey, I'm Special Agent Vivian Johnson and this is my partner Special Agent Samantha Spade, we're here to take you home."
Lacey slowly moved out from behind a dumpster. Sam crouched down to her level, Lacey looked at them still very unsure of the two women standing in front of her. Both women took out their identification badges.
"You don't need to be afraid Lacey we only want to help," said Sam.
"Will you help me find my mum and dad?" Lacey asked timidly.
"Lacey your mum and dad have been really worried about you," Vivian said as they walked the young girl to the car.
"They're not my real parents I want to find my real parents," Lacey said putting on her seat belt as Sam and Vivian did the same.
"Well we'll se what we can do," said Sam, the rest of the car ride was silent.
Jack had been waiting at the school where his girls were almost done for the day. He knew he's have to take them back to the office, maybe he could buy them a magazine or comic on the way back. His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of his six year old daughter screaming as she noticed him standing there. Jack didn't get a chance to react as his six year old charged at him, her school backpack flying around behind her.
"Daddy!" she squealed jumping into her father's arms.
"Hey Kate, where's Hanna?" he asked kissing the young girl on her forehead. Kate shrugged her shoulders in answer to her fathers question as an older girl walked out form the building.
"There she is daddy," Kate said pointing to her older sister who unlike her really didn't want her dad to be there.
"Hey Hanna," he said as she slowly walked over to him dragging her feet and backpack.
"Hi dad," she mumbled.
"So girls, how was your day?" he asked putting Kate down onto the pavement.
"Ok," Hanna mumbled again.
"It was great daddy! We did great stuff, we did reading and writing, we even made a jungle display and painted animals, I did a tiger and it was orange and had black stripes…" his youngest continued loudly as her sister dragged her feet staring off into space in her own little world.
Kate noticed her dad wasn't listening to her, "daddy, are you listening?" she asked taking his large hand in hers.
"I'm listening baby," he replied smiling down at her.
"Hanna, do you want to sit up front with me?" he asked as they stopped at the car.
"Nah, it's cool I'll get in the back," she replied opening the door, jumping in and closing it behind her.
"I will daddy," Kate said excited.
"Com on then," Jack said letting her climb over the drivers seat.
As she did so she leant on the horn in the centre of the steering wheel causing it to toot rather loudly. A couple walking by jumped at the loud sound, which Kate found extremely amusing, even Hanna tried to stop a smile creeping on her face. Jack leaned out the car and apologised to the couple. Kate had continued climbing over and was now sitting with her legs crossed in the front seat her belt locked in and her bag on the floor in front of her.
"You both got your belts on?" Jack asked.
"Yes," both girls replied.
The car ride was silent until Hanna realised it wasn't the way to their house.
"Dad are you not taking us home?" Hanna asked leaning forward in her seat.
"Your mother ask me to get you but we're working on a really big case at the moment so you guys are gonna have to come to the office with me," he replied looking in the rear-view mirror.
"Great," Hanna mumbled. She really hated going into the office, the one person she hated the most would be there.
"Hanna. Is that ok?" Jack asked looking once again in the rear-view mirror.
She nodded her head slowly. Jack turned his attention back to the road and the rest of the journey was silent except Kate's quiet humming to the song that was now playing on the radio.
Jack and Kate both got out of the car and Hanna moved really slowly not even making an effort.
"Girls don't forget your bags, do you have any homework?"
Both girls grabbed their bags; Kate took hold of her dad's hand while Hanna again dragged her feet behind her.
"Come on Hanna," Jack said as they all headed into the lift.
After what felt like a lifetime of silence the lift finally stopped and the doors opened. The three of them stepped out and headed towards Jack's office, Kate was really excited about being in the place where her daddy helped send all the bad guys to jail that she was almost skipping down the hall, all the while holding her fathers hand, Hanna however wasn't so thrilled. To her this office was evil, and the people in it, it's where her dad spent most of his time, it had started about two months ago, the late nights, sometimes he didn't even come home and one night she had heard her mum shouting at him, he'd been having an affair with one of his agents…Samantha Spade, then all of a sudden he was gone and her and Kate were spending weekends with him and after school it was one day after school that she found out who Samantha Spade was. Hanna couldn't believe it, she had stood in front of her and her sister smiling at them as if nothing had happened, but Hanna knew, she knew the truth…Samantha Spade had split up her family and she was never going to like her.
"Jack, Sam and Viv just got back with the girl," Danny said stepping out of an interrogation room, just as Sam and Viv headed round the corner with Martin.
Hanna's face paled and went blank and she looked at the ground, the person she hated standing right in front of her.
"Ok, has she said much?" Jack asked.
Kate watched her daddy; it amused her how he could switch from her fun-loving dad to FBI Agent.
"No only that she wants to find her biological parents," Sam replied.
Hanna rolled her eyes, god how she hated her, "dad if we have to be here do we have to listen to you all talk?" she said annoyed walking away from him, "come on Kate." Kate let go of Jack's hand and ran to catch up with her big sister taking her hand, they both headed to their dad's office.
"Ok, is someone with Lacey?" Jack asked.
"Yes, Officer Baker," Danny said.
"Ok, I'm going to get my girls settled and then I want to know everything," he said heading to his office as his team headed to their desks.
"Can we go yet?" Hanna asked the second Jack stepped through the door.
"Hanna we can't, I have to stay here. I told you we have a very important case right now."
"More important than us?" she demanded, " I want to call mum."
"Hanna, your mother is out you'll just have to stay here," Jack said getting agitated.
"I don't want to, I want to go home!" she screamed.
"Hanna, stop, stop shouting," begged Kate looking at her sister, she hated it when Hanna got into one of her tantrums and it always seemed to be with their dad.
"Sorry Kate," Hanna said smiling at her younger sibling before enveloping her in a hug.
"Now girls can you please start your homework," Jack started before getting a look from his older daughter, "do as your told young lady, I will be just down the hall."
He headed out and walked towards his team, "right what do we know?" he asked interrupting their team talk.
"A scared little girl, who only wants her biological parents not her adopted parents," Sam said taking a sip from her mug of coffee.
"Do we know who her biological parents are?" Jack asked.
"No, Martin and I have been working on it since Sam called and said she wanted them but the adoption agency was very reluctant to give us anything, we're waiting on a warrant," Danny said looking at his boss.
"Ok, as soon as you get the warrant I want you to get her biological parents her," Jack said, "Sam, Viv try and talk to her again about the kidnapping, try anything you can we need to get this guy," Jack finished.
Vivian and Sam headed back to the interrogation room with results in mind.
"Jack, Danny and I got our warrant we're heading to the adoption agency," Martin said as they both headed out.
Martin and Danny walked into the agency reception.
"Special Agent Martin Fitzgerald, Special Agent Danny Taylor," Martin said as they both showed their identification badges.
"We have a warrant and we need the files on a child named Lacey Smith," Danny said handing the receptionist the warrant.
She looked at it before standing up and heading towards a filing cabinet. She sifted through all the files under 'S' before she came to Smith, she kept up her search until she found the file, which read: Smith, Lacey.
"Here you go," she said handing the file to Martin who was closest.
"Thank you," he replied, "we'll be taking this to our office, and will be returned once our investigation is over and we have copies."
"Sure," she replied getting back to her work.
"Now if they had been that helpful in the first place we would have that little girls parents by now," Danny said huffing about their lack of co-operation.
"Mmm," Martin replied glancing at the file in his hand, he stopped walking and he eyes were fixed on the page, finally Danny realised his friend was no longer following him. As he turned he saw Martin fixed to his spot staring at the file his face was extremely pale and Danny was starting to worry.
"Martin? Martin?" he asked looking at him concern etched on his face.
