Anna sighed so thankful that no one noticed she was having twins. She went into the office to make some calls to figure out them going to London and buying this company. Joe went back to helping them with case files. Fenton threw a file on the table, "I think we have a winner."
Everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at him. Frank picked up the file folder glancing at it as Fenton started to talk again, "Warren Campbell. Sent away two years ago."
Joe thought for a second, "was I on that case?"
"You were, it was a kidnapping case." Frank said and threw Joe the file. Fenton nodded, "it was rough especially for Nancy. It was a six year old girl and Warren's daughter."
"Oh yeah, I remember that. After Nancy's testimony that sealed the deal. He got a pretty heavy sentence." Joe said quickly. Biff grabbed the file folder and glanced at it, "it also looked like he beat the mother badly. He got hit with attempted murder and kidnapping."
"It was a very rough case. Why though?" Frank asked out loud and Joe raised his eyebrow, "Why what?"
"Why go to all this trouble?"
"Sounds like he comes from a family of nutcases if his brother is behind this and I don't even remember him having a brother," Joe said responding to Frank.
"He did I remember him in court. He seemed to be fairly tough if I'm not mistaken he has had problems with the law himself." Frank looked at their dad, "Can you check to see if I'm right?"
Fenton nodded, "I will go down to the station and see what we can figure out." Fenton quickly left the room. Frank sighed. "Don't worry, bro. We will find Nan. Look how far we are coming." Joe said as he patted his brother's back.
Laura walked into the office to see her daughter-in-law in full on CEO mode. She was such a gifted talented lady. She sat down in a chair and Anna smiled at her and held up her finger and quickly got off the phone. "I hear they are making progress."
Laura smiled, "they think they know who is behind it. Fenton went to the police station. Frank and Joe went to go get Carson from the airport."
"What? Uncle Carson is coming early?"
"Yes, with this progress, the note from Nancy, and your big news he is flying in."
"Well I'm glad we are close to finding Nancy but I'm afraid they will still have to rob that damn bank."
Laura cringed she dreaded the thought of her boys having to do that and hoped that it didn't come to that. "how is the plans for Europe?"
"That is what is keeping me so busy. I can't raise anymore red flags. Joe as lectured me over this and if they get caught we could all go down if it found that we knew. In fact if they get caught Joe and Frank want me to stay in London for a while with the girls till it blows over."
Laura shook her head not wanting to think about it. She prayed that it didn't come to that. Frank and Joe were both happy and having it being ripped away slowly broke her heart. She didn't want to see her children hurt. "Don't worry. Things will work out, they have to."
Anna nodded leaning back in her chair sighing. George came into the room with a fussy Kendall who was reaching towards Anna as soon as she saw her. Anna smiled and quickly took her daughter and tried to sooth her. George plopped down in the chair beside Laura's, "Liz is asleep but this little girl just wouldn't have it."
"Thanks for trying George. You have been a Godsend especially with me trying to do this work stuff." George smiled at Anna's comment and Laura nodded in agreement. George blushed slightly, "No thanks needed. Anything to help and I try to stay out of the guys way."
"I do too. It was different with the situation last year because I could actually offer help but I feel super helpless."
Laura gave the girls small smile, "ladies I have been there before but you can't feel that way. You are helping in your own way. Fenton told me many times me giving him food, listening, caring, and offering encouraging words supporting him was more than enough."
"Joe has told me that before but when it comes to this being Nancy that is the part I struggle with." Anna said and George nodded along with her. Laura smiled, "it still applies trust me I have had my sons missing and Nancy missing so many times. I have been in some rough situations. But look I'm close to having almost four grandchildren."
Anna's mouth dropped and George looked at her like she had grown a third eye. Anna managed to stutter out, "how?"
Laura gave her a smile, "I can tell the difference between one and two in an ultrasound."
"You are having twins?" George practically yelled. Anna shushed her, "Quiet!"
George put her hand over mouth instantly. Anna continued, "please, we want to keep this has hush as possible." George and Laura nodded understanding.
Carson was in the backyard watching Anna and George play with Kendall while he held Elizabeth. He was aching for his daughter. He knew Anna was barely holding it together and was almost trying to act like she wasn't pregnant in fear that it would stop the search for Nancy. He knew that nothing would stop any of them looking for Nancy and he tried to explain that to Anna earlier. That she needed to take care of herself and accept it. Nancy would want that and wouldn't want her to act like it was a taboo subject.
Laura rushed into the backyard with Joe, Frank, and Biff behind her. "Hospital, Fenton is hurt." Frank quickly added, "He was on his way back from the station and it was a hit and run. We don't know how bad it is, but he is in surgery."
Anna was holding Kendall and almost dropped her. George quickly steady her and placed Kendall on the ground who waddled over to Carson. He quickly shifted Elizabeth in his lap and placed Kendall beside her. He probably would have fallen over if he wasn't in his wheelchair. Joe was almost in tears and Frank was so numb. Laura looked to be shattered.
Biff spoke up, "I will have one of the security drive you to the hospital, maybe Frank and Joe can tag along. Once we know more I can bring everyone else." Everyone nodded and agreed with Biff. Biff started setting the plan into motion and George quickly helped Carson with the girls. Everyone was scared, shocked, and at a lost.
