Boss's Daughter
I don't own anything apart from the storyline. All characters belong to Impossible pictures.
"Morning Captain Becker," Jess smiled sweetly and walking past him, head held high, and sat herself down at the ADD.
Becker gaped as Jess walked past; he opened and closed his mouth for a moment.
"What did you say to her?"
Bertie shrugged her shoulders. "Nothing. Just girl talk." She smiled.
For the morning she followed her brother around as he trained soldiers, made sure all firearms were cleaned, checked entry and exit logs and generally checked that all was as it should be.
Finally she stood behind Jess and studied the ADD. Amazed by technology she wandered up to Jess.
"So what does this thing do?" she asked Jess, who sat tapping away at various keyboards.
"This is the ADD. It monitors anomalies that open up, anywhere, anywhere in the world." Jess turned to Bertie. "If there's an anomaly open, I'll know about it. Unfortunately, there aren't any open at the moment." She paused "Becker has told you about the Anomalies, hasn't he?"
Bertie nodded. "I don't think I'll believe it until I see it!" Bertie wondered for a moment. "Can you pull up street CCTV images up on this?"
"I can do anything here!" Jess started grinning. She tapped a few buttons and one of the screens flickered and changed showing a street scene outside Becker's flat.
"Amazing." She smiled, and pondered for a moment. "Can you access archive footage from say six years ago?"
"It's a bit harder to get, but I'm sure I could..." Jess tapped away again on her computer. She focused on the same address but with a date six years previous.
The ADD hummed, it took a minute, but an image came up, Not of Becker but of a young man ushering his pregnant wife into a car.
"I remember him," Becker came up behind the ladies and watched the image. Bertie turned to him questioningly. "He's the guy I bought the flat from; they'd just had a little one and need to move somewhere bigger."
"So this image is from six years ago?"
Becker nodded.
"Wow!" Bertie processed this information and thought for a moment. Having Jess on her side could just prove useful.
Bertie sat at her computer and made notes of all the people involved in this case.
FCO L Miller was at the top of her list.
Captain H Becker was second on her list, and then there was Lieutenant Alexander Kirkby. He had been involved in the original case. He had been seen hanging around the restaurant with his friend, Lance Corporal Marcus Patterson on the day that Lisa had been raped and beaten. Then she added the name of the investigating officer. Detective Frank Burnside.
She knew that something was wrong with this case the minute she looked at it and DI Burnside came across as the sort to look the other way when it suited him.
Last of all she added General Benjamin Miller. After all, he had implicated Becker, after his daughter had died. Did he truly believe that Captain Becker could stoop so low to do such a thing?
Before she had died Lisa had given the police two names. Lieutenant Alexander Kirkby and Lance Corporal Marcus Patterson.
Bertie looked over the files and it seemed that these two people had been questioned but requests for DNA from them had never been followed up. Well, now she was investigating, she would DO something about that!
Bertie found her brother chatting to Matt at his desk.
"Sorry, may I interrupt. This won't take long." Bertie spoke to the two men.
"We'll talk later." Matt got up to leave.
"It's OK; you can stay while I do this." She turned to the Captain. She pulled herself up to her full height. Becker knew this visit must be one that was official; his sister's stance told him everything. "Captain Becker, I would like you to provide a DNA sample, it would be in your best interests to provide said sample and let us get on with our work."
Becker sighed and gulped. Memories of six years ago flooded back. Only that time he had provided a DNA sample that nearly had him arrested.
Bertie pulled out a small vial, with a cotton bud. She ran it along the inside of his mouth. With her work complete, she turned and left.
Bertie hated doing this. Deep in her heart she knew that Becker was innocent; she just had to prove it. She took it to one of the army forensic team to have it tested. The results would come back in four hours. All she could do now was wait.
Four hours later she had the results in a file in her hand. Apprehensively she stood by her desk, staring at the file; cautiously she opened it and began to read.
Her mouth fell open and she felt weak at the knees. She pulled out her chair and sat down quickly. She gulped and re-read the file. Her elbow rested on the table and her hand went to her mouth.
Captain Hilary James Becker – His DNA matched that of the DNA found in FCO Lisa Miller's vagina.
Sorry about the short chapter. I wanted to leave the chapter at a specific point.
Please tell me what you think...
Is Captain Becker innocent?
Is he guilty?
Will Major Becker be arresting her brother in the next Chapter?
