The holidays had come and gone, well all but one. Things had been quiet just a few easy cases, and everyone was thankful to enjoy the holidays in peace. Halloween both girls dressed up as princesses, Thanksgiving involved way too much yummy food and was hosted by Joe and Anna, and Christmas involved tons of presents especially two spoiled rotten little girls.
It was almost New Years, and Anna had insisted everyone go to the city, although, it was only Biff, George, Frank, Nancy, Bess, her new boyfriend Michael, Joe, Anna, and the two hardy girls. They were currently all relaxing in the apartment at Grant Enterprises.
Anna and Nancy were in the kitchen with their daughters talking to Ms. Miller. "Are you sure you don't mind watching them both tonight?" Anna questioned. Ms. Miller placed some yogurts puffs down on Kendall's highchair. "Of course we will be fine. You guys go enjoy the city."
"See, Anna. Let's go to Time Square."
"Nan wouldn't we be more comfortable here, we can see the ball drop from the window."
"No, we have never done this before. Come on, before we have dozens of children running around."
"Dozen?"
"Well between all of us, yes. Hopefully George and Biff get married and start popping them out."
"Hey now!" George called as she joined them. Nancy and Anna grinned at her. Anna turned to Ms. Miller, "Looks like you will have them tonight, as long as you are sure?"
"Of course I am, you let me know before you leave and give me the run down. I use to watch you when you were little I'm sure I can handle two babies."
Anna laughed as Ms. Miller went to her area of the penthouse. Nancy smiled at George, "we are all going to Time Square, unless you and Biff decide to tie the knot instead."
"No, sorry much to everyone's disappointment, but I will consider next New Year's." George said with a wink.
Anna walked into the master bedroom and walked over to the nightstand picking up a file folder reading it for the hundredth time. A voice startled her out of her thinking, "are you ever going to do anything?"
Anna looked at Joe and put the file folder down, "I don't know if I want too."
"Baby, we have weeks of his activity in there. He is your half-brother."
Anna glanced at a few of the pictures attached inside the folder, the guy had green brown eyes, brown hair, he seemed fairly tall, but the thing that held her back the most from meeting him was how much he looked like Kyle. Anna cringed at just the thought of him after everything he did to them all last year. "But.."
"I know he looks similar to Kyle but why won't you consider meeting him."
Anna nodded and looked through his information. He lived in Pittsburgh, PA. He had a normal job, well in a way, he was a reporter for a local paper. He seemed fairly successful and normal. Anna lay back on the bed and groaned. Joe smiled at her, "don't worry about it this year. Let's get ready for tonight."
"So funny, this year is almost over."
"I know but let's just enjoy tonight and not worry about anything else but friends, family and fun."
Anna laughed and quickly went to pick out an outfit for the evening in Time Square.
Everyone laughed and walked into Grant Enterprise building, it was about 2am and they partied in the New Year. Nancy's idea of enjoying Time Square was perfect; everyone got to enjoy a night of being young and childless. As soon as they entered the building Biff looked at Joe and Frank, "where is the security guard?"
Joe and Frank looked around the lobby; the building constantly had at least one guard behind the desk that had cameras all over the building. The building was locked after hours you need a keycard and code to get in. This was odd not seeing anyone.
Frank and Biff rushed behind the desk and noticed the big burly guard had blood dripping out of his mouth on the floor. Biff looked up at Joe, while the women and Michael were just standing there, "stay there." Joe raised an eyebrow and Biff continued, "The guard is gone."
Biff quickly started scanning the cameras throughout the building and when he noticed the penthouse's door was ajar he cursed. Frank and Joe quickly caught on to what was going on. After some discussion they all decided to call the cops and go up to the penthouse all of them together.
As soon as they all walked into the room, they heard Kendall crying. Anna went to rush up the stairs, "hold it," Joe called to her. She froze and spot and turned, "our daughter is crying." Joe nodded, "stay here I will go to her." Anna glared at him but stayed put as Joe ran up the stairs.
Nancy and Frank were in a discussion and finally both of them darted up the stairs. Biff found Ms. Miller unconscious in the kitchen floor. Within minutes everyone heard Nancy scream upstairs as Joe had just entered the kitchen with Kendall. Joe handed Kendall to Anna and rushed back up the stairs.
sorry it's a little short! But why is Nancy screaming? Who could have done this? So excited about writing and posting the next chapter. reviews please
