Chapter 6.

After being woken by Kelly's early or late hour call depending on how you looked at it Cate couldn't get back to sleep also Kelly's call had Cate worried. She may not have known Kelly long, a day in fact, but she knew something wasn't right. Looking at her clock Cate saw that it was 4.30am and she still could not get to sleep again. Throwing her covers off and getting out of bed she headed into the living room and switched on the TV flicking through the channels until she found something vaguely interesting that she could relax to which would hopefully lead to sleep. She found an old black and white movie and settled down to watch it, after a few scenes Cate was out like a light not woken again until the jingle of the early morning news.

'6 Am! 'Got to get a move on if, Kelly's going to be here in an hour.' Jumping up from her couch Cate ran in to her bathroom straight for the shower, by 7 she was dressed and ready for the day and whatever it was that Kelly needed so desperately to talk about, the problem was time was moving on and there was no Kelly. After her third cup of coffee Cate was starting to get concerned, picking up the phone she dialled Kelly's home, no answer. 'Weird' she said 'Kelly would have been here by now even if she walked it.' Putting her coffee mug down Cate headed for the door grabbing her keys and jacket as she left. Driving the route Kelly would take to get to her apartment just in case they crossed paths Cate headed to Kelly's home. Pulling in to Kelly's drive Cate felt something was wrong as soon as she stepped out of her car. Walking to the front door she noticed straight away it had been forced open, pushing the door slowly open Cate crept in to the house, her senses heightened to every sound and smell in the home. Kelly's home was a mess, furniture upside down, broken glass and plates across the floors. Quietly Cate continued through the house trying to find some hopeful sign that Kelly was OK and somewhere safe in the house even though she knew that wouldn't be the case, that's when she found what she hoped she wouldn't, blood. 'Time to call Charlie.'

'Are there any signs there of who may have taken Kelly Cate?' Charlie asked concern running through his words.

'Not that I have found Charlie and I've looked all over this place, it maybe a mess but I can't find any sign of communication from who's taken her.'

'Alright Angel, head to the office, I'll call the other Angel's and have them meet you there. We'll get to the bottom of this Cate.'

'Charlie, Kelly called me last night around about three in the morning, she said she needed to really talk to me about something. Any ideas as to what that may have been about?' Cate asked looking around the kitchen once more as she did.

'I do Caitlin but I'm not sure this is the best time to discuss it.'

'Caitlin? Charlie you never call me by my full name unless there's a problem. What's going on Charlie?' Her brow knitted in confusion Cate was becoming even more confused at the situation.

'We must move on now Cate and help Kelly.'

'And you know I will Charlie, but tell me what's going on first. Why was Kelly so desperate to talk to me this morning, before we met with everyone? If it's something that can help us I need to know now.' Cate's tone was turning to anger and annoyance as her patience began to wear thin with worry.

'Alright Cate. Last night after you left Kelly at her home I called her and had her come to the office for a meeting. Sergeant Steve Collins of the police crime lab had found something extremely important that he had to tell us.' Charlie paused

'What was is it Charlie? Come on Charlie, please continue what did you find out?' Cate anxiously asked.

'Steve had taken a blood sample from Kelly earlier in the day to run against the samples of blood on Jill's clothing and well, he found something that surprised all of us.'

'What Charlie, please just get to the point.'

'He discovered that the sample of your blood on Jill's clothing and that of Kelly's had similarities, matches even.'

'Meaning what exactly?'

'Only one thing Caitlin, that you and Kelly are sisters.' Silence fell between Charlie and Caitlin. Charlie couldn't even be certain he could hear Cate breathing. 'Caitlin? Are you still there? Caitlin?'

'Huh? Yeah Charlie, sorry I'm... Sister's? Are you sure, is this Steve guy certain at what he found?'

'He is Cate and he had the paper work to back him up. The test can be done again but the facts are there you are sister's, and now your sister is in great danger and needs your help.' Charlie said with urgency.

'All right Charlie, I'll head for the office.' Cate said distractedly.

'Cate, will you be all right, I know that's a lot to hear and take on board. Kelly wanted to tell you herself.'

'And she will when we find her Charlie. First thing's first lets call in Sabrina and Kris and the police, Charlie hadn't we better make them aware of the situation? The police I mean, I have a feeling it has something to do with Sanderson.' Cate said putting her self in to work mode, personal stuff will have to wait.

'As do I Angel. I'll call the police and deal with them. I'll have the Angel's and Bosley meet you at the office.'

'OK, and Charlie, I don't want the others knowing about me and Kelly, not yet. I want Kelly and I to discuss it all first before we start breaking the news.'

'If you're sure Angel, but the support of the other Angel's would help.'

'I've barely known them a day Charlie and you want me to lay on them the news that Kelly and I are in fact sisters!? I don't think so. Right now we're colleagues bordering on friends, we're getting one of our own back to us and hopefully safe and sound.'

'All right Cate, we'll do it your way, just please be careful.' Charlie said a slight tone of disappointment in his voice as he hung up the phone. Cate placed the phone receiver back in to its cradle and took another moment to look over Kelly's home as she walked out back to her car.

Sabrina, Kris and Bosley had all arrived at the office by the time Cate got there. The office was filled with emotion as she walked through the office doors.

'Cate, good you're here.' Sabrina said greeting her as she walked through acknowledging Sabrina with a slight smile and nod of her head. 'We found this letter here when we came in, taped to the office door addressed to the Angel's.' Sabrina explained passing the letter to Cate, who took it from Sabrina with urgency.

'We have your Angel. In exchange for her safe return have Daniel Sandford released and brought to pier 35 building 21 by 8pm tonight or your Angel flies to heaven.' Cate read aloud anger rising through her body. 'Nice at least they're straight to the point. Any ideas who this is from yet?' Cate asked looking around the room at the three detectives.

'A pretty good idea yeah,' Kris started. 'Sanderson's wife.'

'And the real power behind their operation.' Bosley chimed in.

'The wife? That man is married?' Cate said in astonishment 'I have enough problems keeping a date.'

'Any way,' Kris butted in loudly getting back to the situation 'We know where they're going to be tonight, possibly with Kelly, I don't know about you,' she said looking directly at Cate 'but I'd rather find Kelly now and bring her home.'

'We all do Kris.' Sabrina said standing between Kris and Cate sensing the tension.

'So, where shall we start?' Bosley asked

'Sanderson.' Cate and Kris said in unison.

'OK,' Sabrina said 'we'll split up. Bosley and I will do some background checks and see what the police have missed at Kelly's. Kris, you and Cate go see Sanderson in jail, see if he might give you something, have him put in solitary also, we don't want him talking and getting word out to anyone.'

'We'd better fill Jill in on what's going on.' Cate said noticing the look that crossed Kris's face as she said it. Brief anger crossed Kris's face, was it so offensive to her that Cate thought of her big sister before she did?

'How about we all meet at Jill's hospital room in say, three hours.' Sabrina negotiated.

'Sounds good, meet you there.' Cate said grabbing her keys from her pocket and walking out of the office. Kris watched her walk out. Picking up her bag she turned looked at Sabrina with a very unhappy, angry look and followed after Cate.

'Was that such a wise choice putting those two together Bri?' Bosley asked as the tension left the room.

'Well, they have to get a long at some point and if Kris doesn't back down soon I think Cate's gonna force her to.' Sabrina smirked slightly as she said it. Bosley raising his eye brows, sighing walked towards the door heading out, Sabrina followed shortly after grabbing the letter as she did.

Cate and Kris were in a small interview room waiting for Sanderson to be brought in, silence neither one of them spoke to each other. Cate was waiting for Kris to say something anything even if it was insulting, she'd complained about her driving all the way to the prison. Cate was actually relieved when Sanderson was brought in. Once he was seated the officer who had brought Sanderson in left the room closing the door behind him.

'You're a popular man Mr. Sanderson.' Kris started, seated in front of him as Cate watched leaned against the far wall. 'The police want you in several different states and the FBI want you also and now your wife wants you.' Sanderson said nothing just looked smugly at Kris while she spoke. 'In fact she wants you back so badly that she's taken our colleague and is holding her until we release you back to your wife.'

'Well, that's love for you.' Sanderson said leaning forward across the table at Kris.

'You know what Sanderson I'm not going to play around with you, we both know there's no way you're being released out of here so tell me where I'll find your wife and our friend.' Kris looked at him steely eyed, waiting for an answer, any smug thing he might say that could lead her to Kelly. Nothing, at first then he looked to Cate then back to Kris, a low murmur started in his throat as it got louder it became a laugh a cruel wicked laugh that Kris couldn't bare to listen to and angered Cate. Kris got up from her seat and moved away from Sanderson, looking at Cate she said 'He's not going to tell us anything, lets get out of here.' As Kris headed for the door Cate moved towards Sanderson and behind him. Before Kris knew what was happening Cate grabbed Sanderson from behind and slammed his head in to the table.

'Tell me where she is.' She said quietly in to his ear

'You crazy bit..' Before he could finish what he was saying Cate slammed him again in to the table, Kris couldn't believe what she was seeing and moved forward to stop Cate when the fast look Cate gave her stopped her. A look of don't come near me.

'An old office building,' Sanderson spat out. 'Voyager Landing.'

'Thank you.' Cate said kicking the chair out from underneath him. 'Let's go.' Cate said to Kris stepping over Sanderson, she'd had enough. These people had hurt people she cared about, hurt her and now taken her sister. That sounded weird, sister, they'd taken Kelly and that they would pay for. Getting in to Cate's Mustang Kris could keep quiet no longer.

'Are you insane! What the hell was that in there, smacking him in to the table. We don't work that way Cate, we don't.' Kris continued to rage but all Cate could do was listen and drive staying silent the entire journey to the hospital.

Entering in to Jill's room Kris was still fuming.

'What's going on now, what happened?' Sabrina asked.

'The new kid ruffed up the suspect.' Kris snapped.

'What?!' Sabrina said astonished.

'I was trying to get information out of Sanderson but he wasn't budging I decided to leave it try again a little later maybe but she goes over to him and slams his face in to the table, not once but twice. Twice in to the table and then kicks his chair out from under him and steps over him leaving the room!'

'Bosley,' Cate said getting his attention 'call Charlie tell him to look in to an office building named Voyager Landing. That might be where Mrs Sanderson is. He may be lying obviously but I get the feeling that Mr. Sanderson is all show, nothing behind it all and his wife is the real threat. We're going to need some plans of the building as well. What did you two find out Bri?' Cate said moving to look out the window that was closest to Jill as Bosley left the room to contact Charlie.

'Not much. We know as much as we knew to begin with, Sanderson's wife did extremely well to keep herself well and truly hidden and letting her husband take the front of the family business.'

'Well, it's easier to believe that the husband is in charge rather than the wife.' Jill said.

'Sad but true.' Kris said back to her sister leaning against her bed. Silence fell in the room.

'Well, let's get Kelly home and safe. I don't want to think about what they could be doing to her or if they've already hurt her. Let's go and check out this building from a distance, see if we can find anything.' Sabrina instructed just as Bosley walked back in.

'Cate, Charlie wants you to wait here for the building plans, he's having them sent over by courier ASAP as for the rest of us, Charlie wants us to go and check out this office building.'

'Great minds Bosley.' Sabrina said 'Just where we were headed. Come on let's go. You two try and stay out of trouble.' She called over her shoulder as they left. Cate didn't move from her position by the window.

'Hey, you gonna talk to me or stare out of the window.' Jill asked looking over at Cate. 'We all want Kelly back you know. It's just that there are other ways of getting information from people other than slamming them in to tables.' Still Cate said nothing. 'Please Caitlin, tell me what's going on.' Jill pleaded.

'What's she like Jill?' Cate asked quietly still staring out the window.

'Kelly?' Cate nodded 'You know what she's like. Sweet, strong, fierce when she has to be. Protective, gentle, fun and funny, she's a dear friend to me and the other's. She's more like a sister to me really and to Kris especially. I suppose in my absence she's really become the big sister Kris needed. It's no excuse for Kris but I should think it has a lot to do with her attitude towards you.' Cate hung her head and smiled slightly shaking her head. 'What, what's so funny?'

'Not funny really but how's Kris going to react when she finds out that Kelly and I are sisters?'
