Chapter 2: Surprise, Surprise

I don't own Nicole's mom but I own the name. I missed the episode when she visited her mom so I don't know I just made one up. THANKS

Nicole arrived in the empty apartment angry and hurt, tears filled in her eyes. It was getting late and she was surprised no one came to check on her. So she had no choice but to just go to sleep, hoping the situation will blow over.

Next Day at the office.

Nicole was not ready to go back to work, actually she didn't want to even go, but she knew she had to. Nicole took a deep breath stepping on the elevator to go to the 4th floor. When she reached her floor her stomach felt tight and she was nervous. When she got off all eyes were on her, but she didn't let that affect her. Nicole and Antonio passed each other without saying a word and it hurt for both of them.

"Hey Jess." Nicole said feeling a little better seeing her partner.

Jess didn't speak she just sipped her coffee and walked away. Great. Nicole thought to herself.

"Jess not you too!" She said following her partner.

"You know what." Jess turned around aggravated. "Antonio was wrong, but Nicole you took it WAY to far." Jess looked at her then turned away.

"I know, but what was I supposed to do." Nicole said a little sad.

"You didn't have to say anything." Jess said and walked away.

"Great. Now everyone hates me." Nicole said to herself, sitting on the edge on her desk.

"Not me agent." Pollock said from behind her. "No matter how hard I try to you wont let me. Something about you agent." Pollock told her.

"Thanks, Sir. I think." Nicole said a little confused.

"No problem, now come children, we have someone to find." He said heading to the briefing room.

They headed out to meet Pollock. Jess and Antonio stood further to the right while they excluded Nicole forced to be by "new girl" Thea.

"Okay." Pollock said in his usual tone. " Dana Brown." Posting up her picture on the board and handing them folders. " African American female, 16 years of, age adopted at 8 months, mother Christy Brown, birth mother Rachel Thompson, was supposed to-" he was cut off my Nicole.

"Rachel Thompson?" Nicole asked.

"That's what he said," Antonio answered sarcastically. Nicole rolled her eyes at his unnecessary comment.

"Yes, Rachel Thompson. You know her?" Pollock asked before tension raised.

"That's my birth mother." Nicole said confused.

"Well then, I guess we better find her." Pollock said. "You two crime scene and talk to the mother" he said pointing to Jess and Nicole.

Jess and Nicole headed out to Dana's house it was silence on the way there.

Dana's House.

"Hello Ms. Brown I'm Special Agent Nicole Scott and this is my partner Special Agent Jess Mastriani." Nicole said approaching Christy Brown.

"Ni-Nicole Scott, Are you Rachel Thompson's daughter?" She looked at Nicole with sadness and a little happiness.

"Yes" Nicole answered quietly.

"Its so nice to meet you!" She got out of her seat and wrapped her arms around her close like she was her own child.

"Yeah. Same to you" Nicole said. "Lets get back to the case." Nicole said seriously.

"Ok, sorry." She said and sat down.

"Ms. Brown do you know anyone that might want to hurt your daughter?" Jess asked.

"Of course, everyone envied Dana, although they didn't show it. I could tell." She told them tearing up.

"Why?" Jess asked.

"Well for starters, she is captain of the varsity cheer squad, class president, leading lady in almost every play, plays 5 instruments, the voice of an angel, the best clothes, a big-." She said smiling when Nicole cut her off.

"We get it." Nicole said irritated.

"Ok. But there is one thing." She told them with a frown.

"What?" Jess asked.

"Her boyfriend, Jeremy Bridges, the so called "bad boy" of the school." She said with terror. "He might have something to do with her disappearance." She said with a shrug.

"Why would you say that?" Nicole asked.

"Well the boy is 18 and is just now going to 12th grade, he stayed back twice." She said.

"That doesn't mean anything." Jess told her.

"I'm not finished." She glared at Jess. Jess and Nicole just looked at each other. "He was arrested 3 times."

"What for?" Nicole asked.

"Stealing and selling drugs, he swears he doesn't do it anymore, but I feel he is lying." She says crying. "Please find her, find your sister Nicole." She looks at Nicole with tears falling out like raindrops.

"We will." Nicole rested her hand on her shoulder and her and Jess headed out.

Office

Jess and Nicole just got off the elevator.

"Anything agents." Pollock asks.

"Just a couple of possible suspects." Jess told him walking.

"Who?" Pollock said.

"Dana's boyfriend Jeremy Bridges and a lot of people from school envied her Sir." Nicole said.

"Hmm, what about the birth mother?" Pollock asked sitting down.

"Sir, I don't think so." Nicole said.

"Well It's common, she meets her child, wants her back, and kidnaps her sounds pretty good to me." Pollock said. "Go find out."

"Sir?" Nicole said and looked at him in shock.

"Find the boyfriend and the mother." Pollock said without looking up.

"Yes Sir." Jess said and headed out. Nicole hesitated a little.

"Agent." That's all Pollock said and she dismissed her self.

Jess and Nicole were just about to step on the elevator and Christy Brown came up.

"Ms. Brown?" Jess asked. "What are you doing here?"

"After you left, I found this." She said handing them a tape with Nicole's name on it.

"What is this?" Nicole asked scared.

"I honestly don't know." Ms. Brown answered her.

Nicole looked at Jess and then walked away to watch the tape in Pollock's office. When she put the tape in her eyes filled with terror, because she saw Dana beaten with Landen Warfield. Great. Nicole thought to herself.
