Chapter 6
The elevator door dinged as it opened revealing a worn-out Kay holding two coffees and a groggy Cameron carrying Farrah in her baby carrier with one hand and a diaper bag with the other. Deakins was the first to notice the tired two, "Agent Daniels? Mr Black?"
"Hmm? Oh, good morning Sir." Cameron said yawning.
The older woman smirked slightly, "Late night?"
Cam nodded, "You could say that Sir. I mean, Farrah was actually out like a light once she got to sleep"
"Really?"
Kay nodded, "She's actually almost like an angel as far as babies go."
Deakins smiled, "I'm just not sure it's the best decision to bring in a child into this particular building."
"It was either having her and Cam in my office or having her stay with the Deception team in the Archive."
"And the Archive isn't exactly baby-proof."
Kay took a sip of her coffee which reminded her of something, "Oh, Sir, did we manage to find Farrah's birth certificate?"
Deakins nodded, "It was hidden in a jewellery box, I placed the file on your desk. Oh and Mr Black?"
"Yes?" Cameron looked up from the carrier.
"The autopsy has been completed and the corner was wondering if there was any next of kin wanting to see Fiona." Cameron didn't respond, "It is completely understandable if you don't want to-"
"N-no, I do. I think I should."
"Then I will let them know." Deakins gave a sad smile as she walked away.
Kay and Cameron walked to Kay's office. Kay put the two coffees down and picked up the file on her desk, taking the birth certificate out and reading it, "Looks like Farrah was born ten months and three weeks ago"
Cam placed the carrier on a chair and picked up his niece, "Ten whole months and three weeks huh?" Farrah leaned her head on Cam's shoulder and looked up at him with her big brown eyes, "Oh, come on, don't give me those eyes... I don't even know what you want that I'm not allowed to give you" Kay smiled at the interaction between uncle and niece. It made her think of how good Cameron was with kids, how he would make a good father one day. "Kay?" Cam's voice pulled her out of her thoughts, "Remember what... happened last night?"
Kay raised an eyebrow, smirking, "You'll have to be more specific."
Cameron smirked back, "I'm talking about what happened between you and me."
Kay blushed slightly, "Oh."
"I want to do this right so I was wondering if..."
"If?"
"If you'd like to go on a date with me. An actual date where we dress up and go out for a fancy dinner that we wouldn't do otherwise. What do you say?"
Kay smiled, "I'd like that... but instead of the fancy dinner, what about regular dinner and a movie?"
Cam grinned, "That's sounds even better." Farrah suddenly made a squealing sound, "See, even Farrah thinks so." Cameron then looked down in thought.
Kay put the files down, "Cameron?"
"Would you be willing to come with me? To the morgue? I don't think I can say both hello and goodbye to my sister alone." The mood suddenly changing
Kay nodded, "Of course, we can get Mike to watch Farrah for a bit."
"You can get Mike to do what?" Mike asked having overheard the conversation as he was walking past Kay's office.
Kay took Farrah from Cameron, walking over to Mike, "Can you watch Farrah for a bit? We're... going to see Fiona"
Mike nodded in realization, "Of course. When you get back, we can go speak to Shawn's family."
"Thanks Mike" Cam smiled.
"Not a problem, kids I can handle."
Kay looked down at Farrah, "Okay Farrah, you're gonna hang out with Uncle Mike for a little while."
She handed the baby to Mike. Farrah look at the older with a 'who are you' look on her face. Mike smiled at her causing her to smile back, "Cute outfit little lady." He said noting the shirt that had 'Ta-Da' written on it.
Cam rolled his eyes, "Kay picked it out. She thought it would be funny."
Kay shrugged while smirking, "Shame it didn't come with a matching wand."
Cameron pouted, "For the last time, I don't use a wand." He quickly brushed it off though, "Okay, just so you know everything you need is in her diaper bag, some strained carrots and strained plums along with her bottle in case she gets hungry, her bib, if she gets fussy there's a pink dolphin that she has really grown attached to, extra clothes just in case something happens and uh..."
Mike smirked at the nervous magician who was really trying, "I'm gonna hope that there are also diapers in there."
"Yes! There are and I... think that's it."
Mike smiled, "You're doing fine Cam. Your niece is really lucky to have someone like you."
Kay nodded, "She is."
"Thanks guys. I can only hope." Cameron paused for a moment, "Come on Kay, I'm riding with you right?"
"Like always," She said taking the two coffees from her desk, handing one to Cameron, "Let's go."
When they reached the morgue, Kay was about to enter when Cameron grabbed her hand, pulling her back. Kay looked at the magician, "Cameron?"
"I... I just need a minute." He said still holding onto her hand, "Please."
Kay stepped back, "Yeah, of course. Whenever you're ready."
After a moment, Cam took a deep breath, "Let's go."
Kay nodded but noticed that Cameron was still holding onto her hand, "Cam?"
He noticed that he hadn't let go of her, he couldn't help not noticing, it just felt natural to him, "Oh right."
They went in and the mortician greeted them, "Your victim is Fiona Jonbroni-Blanc, correct?" Kay nodded and the mortician led then over to where Fiona was. Her pale eyelids had been closed, shielding the blue eyes that had once held light, her dark curls were scattered around her, had it not been for the bullet hole in her head, one could've assumed that she was simply asleep. "Are you the next of kin?"
Cam nodded and swallowed, not even caring if the doctor recognized him or not, "Uh, yeah. I-I'm her brother."
The mortician began reading off a chart, "Fiona Jonbroni, aged 26. My analysis shows that she was of half-Persian descent and of half-British descent. The tox report came up with nothing so she hadn't been using or abusing drugs the day she died."
"D-did she suffer at all? I mean when she was k-killed?"
The mortician gave him a sad smile, "No, when the bullet her, she died instantly. I'm very sorry for your loss."
"Thank you."
"I can give you a minute alone."
When the mortician left, Kay placed a hand on Cam's shoulder, "Cameron?"
"She looks so small..."
"What?" Kay looked confused.
"Sh-she's just a kid..." Cam whispered as her gently placed a hand on his little sister's head, "I mean who could have done this? And why? Fiona was just a girl who was given a bad life and managed to make something good out of it..."
Kay didn't know what to say, "Cam..."
"I mean she must have done something right if she was given a kid like Farrah, the kid is like a little angel. That little baby is going to grow up without her parents."
"I know... it's terrible."
"We're going to find who did this right?"
"We always do when you're with us" Kay said trying to remind him that he was needed. Cameron took his hand off Fiona, kissed her head and then turned to wrap his arms around Kay, "Cam?"
"I just need this for a minute," Cameron whispered. Kay nodded in understanding and hugged him back. "Kay?"
"Yeah?"
"We need to bring Johnny to see her. He deserves to see his sister."
[Record screeches] Whoa, whoa, whoa, back up. How are they going to sneak Johnny so he can see his sister too? Stay tuned to find out.
