Chapter Five

A couple hours later

With her pen, Katie looked at the paper which is on the wooden desk in front of her to see if anything else is haven't been check yet. After a minute of scanning through it, Katie smiled at herself.

She had smiled at herself because the paper had no unchecked parts. Katie had founded all of them. From this, Katie could have a job like this instead of working for the government but right now, in the real world, there is really no job like that.

A minute later, Katie put the paper back in it file and then put it back in the box of half done files and untouched files. After she put it back, Katie turned to the left part of the desk to get her half cup of coffee with creamer because her mouth is kind of tired from not drinking anything since Jack had left just to keep it staying up so she can talk to Martin about you know what.

While she was drinking her mixed caffeine and creamer drink, Katie looked down at her silver watch to see what time is it. When Katie looked down at the clock, she said to herself, "forty minutes after ten" like the clock had said to her. After she saw the time, Katie turned her body around to where Martin is at.

When she turned around to see Martin, he was busy doing his part of the desk work. From the face he had and the body language, Katie can tell that Martin is very busy right and can't be bother right now but not until at noon which is the time Martin usually eat his lunch. Katie knew that noon is the time when Martin eats his lunch by working at the MPU office with him for two and a half years now. Plus, Katie is planning to use that time to ask him about what she just saw that morning. Without everybody hearing her voice, Katie thought to herself, "In over an hour now, Martin, I am going to ask you about the recent change in your life and I don't want to hear about any bull about it."

After thinking to herself, Katie went back to the box of desk work and took out another file to begin working on it to keep herself busy until noon, Martin Fitzgerald's break for the day.


Over an hour later, it was noon and Martin is beginning to eat his meal of a turkey and provolone sandwich which is one of his favorite meals and a can of cola and nowhere near Katie. Right now, Martin is having lunch with one of their colleagues, his best friend and one of Katie's friends, Danny Taylor at his desk.

While Martin and Danny are having their lunch together, Katie was mad at this. It totally ruined her plan. She wished that she could choke Danny to death by seeing this but not in front of everybody. That would be awful.

Instead of having lunch with Martin, Katie is having lunch with Sam, the first person she had met on the first day of work at NYC Missing Persons. While Katie was staring at the two men and eating her ham and cheese sandwich at the same time, Samantha noticed what Katie is doing and not being all hormones about it since Sam is pregnant with Brian Donovan's baby, Sam put her lunch down, looks at Katie in the face, and asks Katie if there is anything wrong.

Katie heard her asking and to answer Sam's question, Katie put down her sandwich, look at Sam's hazel eyes and said to her, "nothing, Sam." Sam thinks that Katie is not telling her the truth. From the look on Katie's face, Sam thinks that this might be about Martin. For a while, Samantha knew that Katie had a thing for Martin but hadn't seen Katie put a move on him. Any day now, Katie might do it or not but the possible of not doing it is very high right now.

To get it out of her mind and into the world, Sam asked Katie, "If this is about Martin, you can tell me." Since Sam is such an expert in all of the important parts of life well expect keeping a relationship going on, Katie turned to Sam and nodded yes to that question. After seeing the nod, Sam said to Katie, "what is it about?" Katie told Sam about what had happen before she and Martin came to work.

After hearing the answer, Sam was shocked. A few seconds later, Sam stopped being shock and asked Katie again if what she saw is true. "Sam, I just saw Sara, Jim's only beautiful sweet little child and I am sure that was her." but Sam disagreed about it and want some proof. To get the proof, Katie left the table and went over to her desk. When she got to the desk, Katie pulled one of the desk drawer and got a picture of Sara out of there.

After smoothing the dust bunnies out of the picture from being in the drawer too long, Katie ran back and gave Sam the photo. When Samantha received the picture, she looked at it carefully. While Sam was scanning through it, Katie was nervous about it because what if Sam doesn't see it and think that the child might not be Sara? Just a look alike. Then it would be over. She could not see the child again.

A minute later, Sam looked up to Katie and said to her, "this is such a very beautiful child." Katie got so happy about it and said to Sam, "you should see another picture of Sara when she was a baby. It was so cute." Without looking at Katie, Sam responded back, "do you had it right now?" with a smile on her face. Katie nodded 'no' to that question but said to her, "but I had it at my place." When the last word of the question had came out, Sam said to her, "I should come over sometimes."

A few minutes later, Sam handed Katie the photo back and they continued eating the rest of their lunch together. After finishing up their lunch, Katie turned to where Martin is at his desk so she can talk to him right now but when she saw it, Martin was nowhere in sight.

Katie became very pissed about it again but it was gone immediately when Sam gave her the 'don't do it' look on her face. Katie saw it and gave Sam back a 'what to do now?' face. In return, Sam rolled her eyeballs toward where Danny is at right now, at his desk. Katie saw those eyeballs and mouthed back, "ask Danny where Martin is at?" Sam nodded yes to that question. To make sure of it, Katie mouthed again, "Are you sure?" "Yeah" said Sam. After thinking about it for a while, Katie agreed with Sam. She should ask Danny.

To do it, Katie got out of her seat and walked over to Danny who is still at his desk. When Danny saw Katie walking over to him, Danny turned around and said to her, "Catalina" which is the Spanish version of Katie's full first name, 'Katherine' when Katie had stopped at his desk.

When Katie got there, she said to Danny, "Danny. Can I ask you something?" Not sure what the question is, Danny asked Katie what she wants. Katie sat on the edge of Danny's wooden desk and asked him, "Do you know where Martin is at?" Danny doesn't really know why Katie asked that question but to keep it entertaining, Danny asked her again, "Katie. What is it about it? So I can tell Martin about it when he comes back." When Katie heard it, in her mind, she doesn't to tell Danny about it. It is private. Only between her and Martin.

To answer Danny's question, Katie said to the Cuban American FBI agent, "sorry, Danny. It is just between me and Martin." When he heard it, Danny give a little hand gesture to Katie and said to her, "that is okay and the answer to where is Martin at is that Martin went to somewhere and will come back in an hour so you can both talk then."

Before Danny had the chance to say 'okay', Katie got up and said to him, "thanks for your help." and left. After Katie had left, Danny drank something and went to the desk work to finish it up before five so he don't had to the rest at night, which again every FBI agent don't want.

When Katie was going back to her desk to do what Danny is doing right now, Sam stopped her and asked her about it. It wasn't long. In response, Katie nodded 'no' to both Samantha and Elena who Sam had talked to about it when Katie was talking to Danny. When the two older agents saw it, they both went back to the desk work to what the others are doing, desk work.

After Sam and Elena went back to work, Katie got to her desk and reached over to the opened top of the files box. When her hand got on the trim, Katie grabbed the vanilla colored file and put it in front of her. When it was laying on the wooden surface, Katie opened it up, and grabbed the many papers out of there.

After she got the papers out, with a pen in her right hand, Katie began working on them again until the sun comes down which is really true since it was the end of January and will come early like five or six. While Katie was working on them, all she could think about asking Martin about it and seeing if it is true which Katie wanted.
