The investigation
San Francisco, The House,
Becky went back to the house before Danny, but when the latter arrived in the living-room with the copy of the video, Jesse and Joey were here.
- Hey Danny, what's going on? Asked Jesse. Becky told us you acted strangly during that contest.
- I haven't got any time to explain you... I have to see the video of the contest.
- You like dance now? If you want I know school-dance, "How to be a ballerina" for adults.
- Joey... Begin Jesse, Danny what is the problem?
The video begin and the children danced.
- That's it... looked that little girl... could it be... it's Stephanie! Said Danny.
- I agree there is a likeness... said Jesse.
At the same moment DJ entered.
- Hey DJ, I really want to show you something, said Danny.
DJ looked the video.
- Oh my God... no it's impossible, Stephanie is dead.
- I know but... begin Danny.
- Dad... it was five years ago, I know together we always reject the truth. But now all is finish, we have to continue for Michelle, Steph is with mom and surely happy.
- DJ we never found her body, I know there was this letter... but I always knew there was an other truth. I won't have a clear conscience now... I want to know.
Danny took the video and go outside.
- Danny where are you going? Asked Jesse.
- To the FBI office.
When Stephanie disappeared, the Police of San Francisco wasn't alone, the FBI investigate too. After the discovery of Stephanie's clothes everyone thought she was dead. After her funerals the chief of San Francisco Police died mysteriously in the north of California. Dana Clifford was his successor and continue with the FBI the investigation. But this time when Danny arrived to the FBI Office the special agents John Menfredi and Ashley Kurtis weren't there, Danny was a little upset because with Dana Clifford they were the two last who investigate.
The two agents were in a old building of the outskirts of San Francisco. This building supposed to be destroyed but a strange discovery stopped all. John and Ashley entered in a dirty little flat. A few cops were there and their chief saw the agents.
- Agents Kurtis and Menfredi? Asked the man.
- Yes, what is the problem? Asked John.
- In the bedroom we found behind a cupboard a other little room without windows. There was something about one of your cases... the murder of the little Stephanie Judith Tanner.
The chief give to the agents some pictures.
- Oh no, it's Stephanie... Do you know who was the owner of this flat five years ago? Asked Ashley.
- Yes, I called but the owner is dead now. She was a drug addict woman.
- Thank you, we will investigate about her, but first of all notify this to Mr Tanner.
The two agents came back to their office, but in the waiting room thay met Danny.
- Mr Tanner, what are you doing here? Asked John.
- I know I should called before but I really want to show you something.
- I wanted to call you about Stephanie, we found a place with pictures of her. She was there and confined, but the owner is already dead... said John, but what have you found?
The agents Kurtis and Menfredi took Danny to an other office with a TV and a video recorder. The film began, the agents were silencious.
- I admit that little girl look like Stephanie, said Ashley.
- Her name is Stephanie Anderson and she lived in Seattle, we have to save her, said Danny.
- Mr Tanner did she recognized you? Asked Ashley.
- No, but there was too many people, she didn't see us. She is the victim of a perverted... began Danny.
- I'm sorry Mr Tanner but I don't think a perverted let his victim going to an other town, alone, to a public contest, replied John.
- We are not sure if it's her or not, so we'll going to Seattle investigate. Perhaps it's her but it can be a error and it will be awful, saud Ashley.
- I really want to come with you, asked Danny, I can let my daughters with Becky and my parents-in-law. Jesse and Joey will come with me.
- I don't know, began Ashley, I don't want to see you doing something wrong.
- I'll never touch her before you say me : "it's your daughter".
- I hope our questions will have answers, you can come with us Mr tanner, said John.
