Chapter Sixteen

Half an hour later, everybody was busy. Danny and Sam is going to bring Keri Moyers over and asking her about Alanna Hennessey. Elena is at her desk, talking to DeAnna over the phone since DeAnna can't seem to get out of her family's house but willing to ask questions and contributing herself to find Sara. Katie is with a sketch artist to get a drawing of Alanna since they don't had a photo of her to show it to people so they can find Alanna and hopefully, Sara. Jack went back to his office to do some things of his own and for Martin? Well, Martin is trying really hard to not get involved in the case.

When Keri Moyers came to the FBI building from driving from her home, she had no idea what is going on and why she is here? Danny had called her when she put her two daughters into bed and told her to come to 26 Federal Plaza to ask her some questions. Wanting to know why?, Keri asked him that. In return, Danny told her that it is involved Sara Fitzgerald. Keri nearly dropped the phone and told Danny Taylor seconds later, "Danny. I'll be there in a half a hour." and hung up afterward. Seconds later, Keri founded herself kissing her daughters good night on the forehead, told her husband that she had to go out on a forgotten errand, kissed him good night, grabbed her coat, got into her car, put the key into the slot, and drove off back to New York to help the team.

When Keri got there, Danny and Sam was already there. Keri greeted Danny and got introduced to Sam by Danny. After getting her visitor pass, with Danny and Sam, they rode the elevator to the '10' floor where the interrogation rooms are at and got inside to ask questions. Once Danny, Sam, and Keri had sat down, they founded out some things about Alanna Hennessey.

"Keri, Thanks for coming. I knew that it is late but it is very important." said Danny who is smiling and apologizing to her about the late night. Keri shooked her head and told Danny and Sam that it is okay. The two of them heard Keri's answer and told her that they are also fine by this and right away, they had begun the interview.

Wanting to know what had happened to Sara, Keri asked them that. Seeing that Danny was pulled out a notepad and pen out of his pocket, Sam turned from Danny to Keri and told her the answer. "Keri. We believed that Sara had might been kidnapped." softly said Sam. The moment Keri heard it, she nearly had broken down. "Oh my, Sara got kidnapped. When?" said Keri who was looking at Danny and Sam straight to the eyes. "She was reported by her godmother who is a fellow agent here over a hour ago." answered Danny, referring the godmother as Katie.

After hearing that, Keri looked very hurt by this and from seeing her hurtful face, both Danny and Sam had figured out that Sara had might be very important to Keri. Minutes later, Keri had spoke something to them. "Why someone could kidnapped her? Who could do such a horrible thing? Sara was so sweet, smart, and kind. She never had a problem with anyone, not a single person." said Keri who was almost had tears in her hazel eyes. From seeing that, Danny and Sam knew what she had meant by it. Sara was a sweet little girl who is smart and always kind to people around her. She could bring any body's feelings up by her warm smile and big dark brown eyes. From all of this, they kept wondering if Alanna had hurt Sara by a single thing, there are a lot of people who will going to hate this.

They wanted to calm Keri down so they can asked her about this Alanna Hennessey in time to find Sara. To do this, Danny reached his hand over the table to touch Keri's hand on the table, and told her that everything will be okay and they needed to find her before anything bad could happened to her but before all of that, they needed to asked her a couple of questions. After all of that, Keri pushed her tears away and in a still-broken voice from all of the crying, Keri said to Danny and Sam, "Okay, then. I will help you guys so we can find her." Danny and Sam smiled at her and immediately, they went into business.

Pulling a drawing of Alanna who was fastly done by the sketch artist a few minutes before Keri had came to the building, Sam put it in front of Keri's face and asked her, "Do you seen this woman before?" Keri leaned over to looked at the picture closely and right away, with a shrug, Keri answered to them, "I don't know who she is but I had seen her before. Who is she?" "When you last saw her?" asked Danny who put the tip of his pen onto the paper of his notepad. Keri thought about it for a while and then, a minute later, Keri told them her answer. "When?" asked Danny. "About last November." answered Keri.

Moments later, Sam asked her another question. "Keri. From what you had told us, do you remember the day you first saw her?" asked Sam. Keri nodded and told them 'yes'. A few seconds later, Danny asked her about it. Right away, Keri told them what had happened on that November day.

November 14, 2007

New York City

When Keri got back to her office after going out to a little incident at the home of Maria Diaz, who is a foster mother in Queens, Keri sat down on her chair and tried to relax from what had happened at the foster home. It was involved a little four years old girl named Sara Elizabeth Foster.

Two hours later, Keri was eating her lunch with a fellow social worker of her in her office. Halfway through the eating and chatting, the phone on her desk had rung. Keri put down her salad on the desk and reached her hand over to the phone to picked it up and answered it. Once Keri put it to her ear and the speaker was near her mouth, Keri said to the speaker, "Keri Moyers."

Right away, Keri heard a voice she recognized. "Keri. I needed your help with something." Thinking that Maria might have a problem with one of the foster children, Keri sat herself up and asked her, "Maria. What is going on?" "Keri. I don't know what to do." said Maria. Right away, Keri asked her another question. "Maria. Is there a problem with one of the kids?" Keri heard Maria nodded and figured out that it was 'yes'. Thinking that one of the teenagers or a child who is new to the system could be the problem, Keri asked her that. "None of them wasn't the problem." answered Maria. "So. Who was it?" asked Keri who was about to get tired by this. With a quiet voice, Maria answered Keri's question. "It was Sara."

Being shocked by this, Keri asked Maria if she was pretty sure that Sara did something since which is unusually weird because the moment Keri became Sara's caseworker after Sara's father had died in Iraq almost two years ago, Sara had been nothing expect being sweet but very shy. All of that had changed when a man named Martin Fitzgerald had came into little Sara's life, and talked to her about things and hang out with her every weekend so he can get know her before adopting her. Very soon, Sara had stopped being shy well expect to complete strangers but it had turned out being very good.

Wanting to know why Sara was having a problem, Keri asked her that. Right away, Maria told her the answer. "Sara had been crying no pare today." said Maria. "Since when Sara had started crying?" asked Keri who heard her crying in the background. It took Maria a minute to calculated the time but told Keri right afterward. "She started crying for a hour now right after I made lunch for her, Cristina, and Lilly." Like Sara, Cristina Lopez and Lilly Sullivan are foster children who lived with Maria at the moment. "When I put one of the sandwiches in front of Sara, all of the sudden, Sara started crying." "I started to think that I put something that Sara don't liked in the sandwich but I figured out that wasn't true because Sara was eating her sandwich."

Keri smiled at herself when Sara did that and asked Maria what else had happened at Lunch? "Well. Lilly saw her crying and asked her if everything was okay? Sara told Lilly that she is okay but she was still crying." "Do you figured out why Sara was crying?" "I don't think that this is the right answer but I heard somewhere that today was her fa..." "Her father's birthday." said Keri who had interrupted Maria's question.

"Sí. That was what I was thinking about." said Maria. After that, Keri thought for a minute to think of something while her colleague was staring at her, having no idea what is doing on? During the minute of thinking, an idea had occurred in Keri's mind. "That's it." thought Keri who was smiling. When Keri had thought of her idea, a voice had came from the cordless phone. "Keri. ¿Está usted allí?" asked the phone. Figuring out that Maria was wondering that Keri was still there or think that she had bailed out of the situation, her friend put the phone on speaker and right away, Keri told Maria that she was here. "Good. ¿Qué haremos nosotros acerca de ello?" asked Maria, who was asking her in Spanish. "Maria. ¿Es Sara todavía allí?" asked Keri who was also speaking Spanish.

"Sí. Sara's with the girls in the guarida, watching a DVD. Why? Aren't you coming?" asked Maria. "Yeah, I am. Just keep the girls there until I get there so I can ask Sara about it. ¿Bueno consigo?" said Keri. "Seguro. See you here." answered Maria and hung up afterward.

After Maria had hung up on her, Keri closed the lid of the salad container and turned to her colleague who asked if this had involved Sara. Keri nodded and right away, and told her that if anybody asked about it, tell them that she is out, running an errand. Her friend had agreed with it and told her, 'have good luck with Sara. Like I always said, you are spending the best years of your lives with other people's kids." Keri smiled at her while she got up from her chair, put on her coat, grabbed her purse, and walked out with her friend behind her. Once she got of the office, Keri got into her car and drove off to Queens to helped out Maria and Sara.

--

"That was nice of you, Keri. Helping out." said Sam who had heard Keri's answer but still wanted more. To do that, Sam asked Keri what else had happened after that? Staring at Danny and Sam again, Keri told them something. "It was one of the hardest things that I ever experimented." answered Keri.

--

A few minutes after Keri had came back from Maria's home where she had spent thirty minutes, talking to Sara, calming her down by telling her that her father is still with Sara in her heart, and wanted her to be happy on his birthday even through that he was not here. After hearing that, Sara had stopped crying and gave Keri a big hug for helping her while smiling. Keri saw that sweet smile and asked Sara if she was excited about the outing that Martin is preparing for the both of them this weekend? This time, Sara did a big smile and knew away that it is going to be fun. Keri gave Sara another hug that lasted for a few minutes. After hugging her, Keri waved 'bye' and Sara waved back. Keri saw that, opened the front door to get out and into her car to go back to her office to stay there for the rest of the day but the worse is let to come.

Around 3pm, when Keri was working on another case, the phone on her desk had just rung. Keri looked away from the case folder sitting on her desk, and reached her hand over to the phone to put it on speaker so she can answered it. "Keri Moyers." said Keri. Right away, a small voice had came out of the speakers. "Mrs. Moyers, you got a visitor." Knowing that the receptionist had called her but don't knowing who wants her right now?, Keri asked who is the visitor? A few seconds later, the woman with the small voice had came back.

"Mrs. Moyers. She didn't tell me her name but she told that is important." said Miss Small Voice. Wanting to be surprised, Keri told her that to bring the woman to her office and she will take it from where. "No problem, Keri." said the receptionist with the small voice and hung up afterward. After she had done that, Keri went back to her work to continue it until the woman who wanted to see her.

Five minutes after the call had ended, there was a knock on the other side of the door. Keri looked up and saw a 5'6 woman with long, light brown, wavy hair, strong green eyes and in a cream light wool coat with a black leather hobo bag over her shoulder. From where she was looking, Keri had never seen this woman before and out of the blue, she had invited her into her office but right now, Keri wished that she shouldn't invited her in.

From the other side of the office, the woman saw Keri doing the 'come right in' signal with her hand. The woman smiled at herself, knowing that she is one step closer from seeing her daughter, and walked to the door to get inside so she can talk to the social worker and hopefully, get to see her daughter.

Keri smiled at the woman who had walked into her office and got up and took out her hand for a handshake, and greeted the woman, "Hi. I'm Keri Moyers." The woman smiled at Keri and shook her hand 'very hard'. Keri felt that her hand was about to broken apart but stopped right away from breaking into tiny pieces. After that, Keri asked the woman to sit down which the woman did. Keri did the same with hers.

After a minute of silence, Keri had spoken up. "Hi. Isn't there anything that y..." "Is that a picture of your daughters?" asked the woman who was looking at one of the many picture frames standing on the edge of her wooden desk. Wanting to know which one, Keri got out of her chair, walked over to the other side of the desk, and stared at the picture that the woman was looking at.

When she got there, both the woman and Keri are looking at a picture of Madeline and Ella Moyers at the beach on the Jersey Shore last summer. While looking at the picture of two smiling girls, the woman asked Keri a question. "Mrs. Moyers. Are these two girls your daughters?" asked the woman who was saying it in her Irish accent. Keri turned to the woman and answered her question in a smile, "Yes. Those two girls are my daughters." "How old are they?" asked the woman. To answer that question, Keri pointed her finger at one of the girls at the left and told her that her name is Madeline and she is nine years old. After pointing at Madeline, Keri moved to Ella and told the woman her age, which is six years old.

Right away, the woman smiled at Keri and told that Madeline and Ella are two beautiful girls. Keri smiled at the woman and told her, "thank you." Moments later, the woman had spoken up again. "I have a daughter." said the woman. After hearing that, Keri asked the woman what is her daughter's name. "Her name is Sara and I think that she is four years old right now." answered the woman. When Keri heard the answer, the only thing that came to Keri's mind is this: "Why the woman said that she think?"

To learn about it, Keri asked the woman that question. Seconds later, the woman told Keri that she haven't seen her daughter since Sara's father, Jim died about two years ago. Keri heard it and asked the woman if she heard anything about her daughter? The woman shook her head and told Keri that she heard that Sara is in the foster care system and now living in New York. After hearing the woman's answer, Keri was having a feeling that the woman in front of her was talking about the little girl that Keri visited earlier. "Was she was talking about Sara Foster?" thought Keri.

To see if that was true, Keri asked the woman that question. Right away, the woman nodded yes. It might be true. Sara Foster had might be this woman's daughter. After that, the mood of the office had changed and the woman was asking Keri more questions. "Is Sara really here in New York?" asked the woman. Keri nodded. "Is she okay?" asked the woman again. Keri told her that Sara is fine. The last question had became trouble. "Can I have her back?" asked the woman for the third time.

Keri told her no. "Why not?" asked the woman who was looking a little angry. Keri got closer to the woman and said to her, "You can't because she is getting adopted." The woman got a little more angry and asked Keri, "Who is adopting Sara?" Keri crossed her arms and told the woman that the part is private and it is only between her, Sara, and the man who is adopting her. "Who is the man who is adopting Sara?" asked the woman. Still crossing her arms, Keri told her that she can't released the name of the man who is adopting Sara. "Why not?" asked the woman. Seconds later, Keri told her the answer to that question.

"I can't tell you that because I am starting to think if you get involved, something bad will happen." answered Keri. Seconds later, the woman got up and yelled at Keri, "This is why I got on a red-eye from Ireland to learned that I can't have my daughter back because if I get involved, something bad will happen. Isn't it?" Keri nodded and told the woman, "exactly." After that, the woman got near Keri's face and told her that she had changed and to put those mistakes in the past, she needs Sara Elizabeth Foster, her daughter.

Keri also got closer to the woman's face and told her from she had learned about her, she had abandoned her daughter on the day Sara was born and have a huge drinking problem for years. "All of that had changed. Right now, I want to see my daughter." said the woman. Keri shook her hand and told her that the man who is adopting Sara is a nice, smart, wonderful man who did something bad a few years ago but he is over with it and wanted Sara to be his daughter because he loved Sara very much and Sara loved him too and wanted him to be her father.

"That is a whole lot of bull crap. I don't care that he loved her and wanted Sara to be his daughter. I am HER mother who gave birth to her and carried her around for nine fucking months." said the woman who is very pissed off right now. Keri got mad by this and told the woman to get out of her office and out of this city and never show her face here ever again. After a few seconds later, the calm but still mad woman grabbed her purse off the table and said to Keri, "Fine, then. I will but I still wants my Sara back no matter what." Moments later, the woman walked to the door, got out, and left the building.

After that woman had left, Keri closed the door the woman had left opened, walked over to the file cabinet, pulled out one of the drawers, looked for the file she wanted, founded it, and walked back to her desk to sit down on her chair and looked through the file. Once she flipped the top cover, a photo of a smiling Sara was looking right at her. While staring at the photo, Keri was thinking to herself. "Don't worry about her, Sara. You will always have someone to make you smile, take good care of you, and be there for you no matter what." thought Keri. That someone Keri was referring to was Martin Fitzgerald.

--

After hearing that, Danny smiled at Keri and asked her, "My colleague, Katie Carter who is Sara's godmother told me that woman you was telling us about had broken into your office and looked through Sara's file and founded out who is the father and his address later that night." Keri told them that she knew about that by seeing one of picture frames had some fingerprints that are very easy to see and asked Danny and Sam if the woman had broken into her office had ever stalked Martin and Sara? They both nodded to that question and right away, Keri nearly had broken down again and said to them, "Oh my. That is horrible." "Yes it is and the woman who did all of those things is Alanna Hennessey." said Sam.

Keri stared at Sam and then at Danny and asked them if that is really her name? The both of them had nodded yes. After seeing that, Keri got up from her chair and told them to find Sara right away, and arrest that woman for what she did. Sara really deserved to be with the people who truly loves her instead of being with that woman. Danny Taylor and Samantha Spade both agreed with that and told Keri that they will do that. Keri smiled at them and all of them got out of their chairs to tell Keri for helping them. "No problem. Just make sure to find Sara." said Keri. "Sure." said Sam who just walked out of the interrogation room with Keri and Danny.

After Keri had left to go back home, Danny and Sam was walking toward Jack's office to tell him what they got but stopped when someone had called out their names. "Danny, Sam. Wait up." called out by a woman. Danny and Sam had figured out that Elena was calling out their names and turned around to found Elena running toward them. "Oye, Elena. What you got from the guardián?" Elena smiled at him and said to Danny and Sam, "From talking on the phone, DeAnna was devastated that Sara got kidnapped but when I asked her if she saw anything unusually weird, that woman told me some cosas perturbadoras."

DeAnna told Elena that sometimes at the playground where she usually take Sara to, she ended up seeing a woman staring at Sara, smiling at her, and once, got near Sara when she needed some help getting back up on her feet. "Overall, this woman got stalker all over herself." said Elena. After hearing that, Danny turned to Elena and said to her, "Elena. I got to tell you something about this woman who might had Sara right now."

Danny told his amante about the things that Keri told he and Sam in the interrogation room earlier that night. After hearing that, Elena turned to Danny and Sam and said to them, "Oh my. This woman might be..." Danny interrupted her and finished her sentence by saying, "Yup. This woman is a horrible, selfish, maybe ramera."
