CHAPTER SIX

The next morning, Sam got up earlier than he normally did to call school and his future in-laws to let them know what his and Jazzy's plan was for the day. Their school already knew about Jazzy's parents deaths, so they weren't surprised about them wanting to know more information. The school didn't hold their absence against them either. They counted it as an excused absence for them both. Sam thanked them and hung up. He waited a few minutes before calling Jazzy's parents.

"Hello," Patrick said as he answered the phone.

"Hi, Patrick. Its Sam; sorry to call so early but I just wanted to call and tell you that Jazzy and I are going to go down to the police station to seek out information on Lizzy and Cody and my birth mom, Renesmee. We're taking the day off." Sam said to him.

"OK, that's fine, just don't get too involved. May I ask why you're doing this now?" Patrick asked yawning.

"Patrick, Jazzy had a nightmare last night that involved her mother's death at the hospital. She said that the doctor who was on that case, said Lizzy died from an allergic reaction to the medicine she was on for the pain. She woke up in a cold sweat. She really wants to know what happened that day and she also wants to find out what happened to her birth father that caused his death." Sam finished, sounding concerned for his fiancé.

"O.K. I will call the station and let them know that you are coming in, OK. Umm… I know someone there that will be able to help you. He's my brother, Maxwell Roquette. Kaitlin Roquette, you should remember her, is my younger sister; she was Lizzy's best friend. Lilly and Lizzy were twin sisters. When Lizzy died, Lilly and Katie were devastated. When you arrive at the station, go to the front desk and ask for Maxwell Roquette, and wait for him in the waiting room. I'm not sure if Jazzy will remember him but it's worth a try," Patrick told him.

"Thank you, Patrick and I will tell Jazzy, bye." Sam said to him.

"Bye, Sammy." Patrick said and hung up.

"SAMMY," Sam heard from the kitchen, it was Jazzy trying to find him.

"Babe, I'm in the kitchen," he yelled up to her in the bedroom.

Jazzy walked into the kitchen seeing Sam, she walked over to him and gave him a hug from behind.

"Good morning, Sammy. Did you talk to my parents yet?" Jazzy asked, turning Sam around to give him a kiss.

"Yeah, I just got off the phone with Patrick. I told him what was going to happen today and he told me to not get too involved." He told her giving her another kiss. "Wasn't Patrick a police officer?"

"Yeah, he's retired now, but he helps out on cases when he's needed. Why?"

"Well, he told me that his brother, Max, works at the station, and that we should talk to him about all this. He also told me that Lilly and Lizzy were identical twins. Did you know that?" Sam asked her.

"No, I didn't know that. And I also didn't know Max was Patrick's brother. So technically Patrick and Max are my uncles and Lilly and Katie are my aunts. Well at least I was put with family that I kind of knew." Jazzy said, relieved that her siblings and her weren't put with strangers nine years ago.

"Yeah, I know, that's good that you were put with family. But before you were placed there you stayed with my mom, sister and myself." Sam replied.

"Yeah that's right, I almost forgot about your family. How's your sister, Jessii? Did you talk to her yet?"

"Jaz, you know I talk to my sister every day. And no I haven't talked to her since Monday." Sammy said.

"Oh, well I haven't seen or heard from Jessii since I was put with Lilly and Patrick. How is she? You never talk about her." Jazzy asked, hoping he would talk to her about Jessii.

"She's good." Sam replied, trying to avoid the subject of his sister.

"That's good; we should invite her over for dinner one night." Jazzy said to him.

"I don't know; she's kinda busy with her job; she's a high school ASL teacher." Sam said.

"OK, well, we're also busy with life as Juniors in high school. We would probably have the same type of time frame. So you should call her after school and invite her over. OK?" Jazzy told him and Sam nodded.

"Ok, we will call her after school. Now let's go get ready so we can leave. OK?" Sam agreed and took her hand and brought her back upstairs.

"OK, but Sam what else did Patrick say to you?" Jazzy asked Sam starting to be impatient with her fiancé.

"I already told you what he said, Jazzy." Sam said.

"OK," Jazzy said.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at the police station. They went inside and over to the front desk and asked for Maxwell Roquette. The women told him that Max will be right out after she paged him.

"Jazzy, is that you?" Max said as he walked over to the couple.

"You must be Max; I'm Sam, Jazzy's fiancée." Sam said introducing himself.

"Oh My God, Uncle Max, I didn't recognize you. How are you?" Jazzy said looking at her uncle.

"I'm good, so I hear congrats are in order." Max said giving his niece a hug.
"Thank you. We got engaged last night. We have decided to get married after graduation in a year and a half. So the reason we want to talk to you is about my birth parents deaths. I'm assuming you know who I'm talking about?" Jazzy said to Max.

"Yeah, let's go to my office. And I'll get the files regarding them." Max said leading them down to the detective's office.

On the way, Max went to the file room and went in search for the files. Max found the files and went back to his office. He sat down and asked them, "What exactly were you told about you parents deaths?"

"For my mother's death I was told the she died from an allergic reaction to the pain medication she was on. And for my father's death, I was told by another detective from this station that he was undercover and was killed. Is any of that true? I want to know the truth. It's been almost ten years since dad died and thirteen since mom I want to the truth and no sugar coating it either. Please, I just want the truth." Jazzy said to Max.

"No, none of it is. I'm sorry. According to Lizzy Patterson's file, she died from a poisoning that was put in her pain meds. I'm sorry for you loss, Jazz. I miss Lizzy terribly. She was like a sister to me and Katie. And as for Cody Patterson's death, it was ruled a homicide. It says here that he was undercover, but they never figured out whether he was in the line of fire or if he was beaten to death and murdered. Again I'm sorry for your loss." Max explained to them. "I can look into it, if you would want me, too."

"Thank you, Max. That's what I needed to hear. I wanted the whole truth and I knew we could count on you to do that. So thank you." Jazzy said standing up and giving Max a hug. "And, sure, that would be great."

"Max," Sammy started to say, "Um, can you do me a favor?"
"Sure, what is it?"

"Can you look up a file for me; her name is Renesmee Juliet Swarek?" Sam asked.

"Sure, I'll be right back." Max said, getting back up to go to the file room again.

Sam looked away ashamed for asking about Renesmee. She was his biological mother who supposedly died of a brain aneurism.

"Sam, who is Renesmee? You never told me about her." Jazzy asked, taking her fiancée's hand into hers.

"Renesmee was my biological mother. She died 3 years after your mom died. Unfortunately, she died at the same hospital as your mom did." Sam said frowning.

"Sam, I knew your mom, but she was always Renee to me. You never told me her name was Renesmee. I know you probably don't want to talk about this right now, but if we decide to have kids, then I want to name at least one of our kids after her and my grandmother. My grandmother, Madeline Cecile Patterson, died when I was like 2 or 3 years old. One of our daughters names could be Madeline Cecile Swarek and our other we could name after your mom could be Renesmee Nicole Swarek. But most importantly if we end up with a boy, I want to name him Samuel Maxwell Jr." She said out of breath.

"I really like those names, when did you start thinking about baby names?" Sam asked looking at her.

"Well, just now for Renesmee, and the other two, Madeline, I have dreamed of using that name since I was old enough to talk. And for Samuel Maxwell Jr. well I've always wanted to name my son after his father. And the Maxwell part is after Max, of course." Jazzy explained.

"Oh, I didn't know, thanks babe for telling me that. We should talk about this more later. I love you." Sam said, just as Max came back with the file.

"Heyy, found the file, you have a week with it. And it was nice seeing you Jazzy. I'll call Patrick and talk to Lilly about getting the family together before your wedding. I'll talk to you later. Here's my business card, call me if you need anything. Sam, take care of my niece for me. It was nice meeting you." Max rambled on for another few minutes then sent the couple on their way. He then went back to work.

They left the station and went back home to their apartment.
