I update better on weekends, because of college and homework, etc on weekdays. Trying more during this week 'cause I got a few parties this weekend and I'm staying out some. Getting drunk is great, even after you've been ill. :oD
Searching the name of Jason Sidle along with a few details in his file and from Baby Girl's descriptions, she got an easy hit on her computer. Seems Jason never got off of the drugs. Released two months ago after a marijuana possession. He was back at his birth place over in Tamales Bay. It made Lily rethink why Baby Girl had even been over in Philadelphia.
Glad that she found the required information quickly, she set her sights on the sister. She didn't seem one to want to stay near home. The results weren't as conclusive as she'd have liked, but with a few eliminations and deductions, she managed to find one fitting family. The sister was one Sara. Sara…Sara Sidle…Where had she heard that name before?
"Lil', you got anything?" Scotty appeared behind her, leaning into the screen.
"Yeah." She flipped the page over quickly. "Got out two months ago on possession, over in Tamales Bay. Seems he owns a garage there." He handed her a coffee. "Thanks."
"Well, Boss has something for us on the knife. Vic's blood, obviously, but also a few female donors. One of which gives dear old Jason motive. Seems it was a close female relative. Daughter, sister, mother."
"Mom was in jail, never any records of daughters, which leaves the uh…"
"Sister, right. So we thinking, this guy John, killed the sister, so Jason went and did him in? Cause it's the only reason I could come up with. Otherwise, why switch from gals to guys?"
"Hate to pull a downer but the sister is still alive."
"Really? And how would you know this?"
"I suppose there aren't any prints?"
"No. Guy probably wore gloves if he did this often."
"Yeah. How did the families interviews go?"
"Apparently a hard working contractor and great father. You know how it goes. Didn't take too well to his wife though."
"Who does?" Scotty shot her an awkward, questioning glance. "What? All I'm saying is that no one is ever satisfied nowadays."
"Yeah, so…His so called friends see him in a different light. Say he had a lot of dirty business dealings and got around the ladies. Hence the money and a lot more motive from the people he crossed."
"Hmm. So much for family man."
"So?"
"So what?"
"So, what about the sister?" He asked her like she was dumb.
"Next time you imply that I'm not all there Scotty, you better watch your lower regions. That is unless you really are one to be wearing a bikini." She smiled.
"Hey, I'd beat you in a bikini any day." He laughed heartily.
"You probably would, seeing as I wear a one-piece."
"Okay so, if this sister is still alive. Why was her blood on the knife? Did she kill the guy or did he threaten her somehow?"
That's when it hit her. He gave me a choice. It had never seemed to make sense before, but now it wouldn't leave her mind, and the worst kept replaying. What if he had? No. Why would he? He had a lot of women to choose from. She knew right then that she shouldn't be on the case. She should just tell all that she knew. That Baby Girl - Sara - couldn't have done this. But she might know something, it was better to be with someone you trust. Especially in her case.
"So, if the sister's the only one it could be, we should try and find her address, see - Lil'! What's wrong?"
The complete shock and total concern seemed to shock even him. It was like she had just fainted on the floor, when in actual fact, the only things she had done in the last five minutes was drink half of her coffee and stand dazed for a while.
"Nothing. And what's with the melodramatics?"
"Lil'. I put salt in your coffee!"
"What? Why?"
"And you just drank it."
Bet you never saw that one coming. Lol. Oh and btw that wasn't the revenge, I just felt like putting that in because this chapter is too many facts and not enough play. ;-p
