Chapter 5

As Constable Leah Kerns made entry to the home of their subject Shannon Miller, she immediately noticed the relaxing and family like ambiance of the home, as it caught her senses off guard. The home was suspiciously familiar to her although she could not quit figure out why.

She had presumed before entry the home would magnify a more psychotic feeling to it but was dumbfounded it didn't and looked like a place she wouldn't mind residing in.

"Hmm, this home doesn't' actually scream, "I am a woman who steals other pregnant womens' fetuses", Leah Kerns softly whispered to herself as she observed the better homes and garden décor through most of the house, as she carefully cleared each room with the help of the two other uniform policed officers she had brought with her.

Once she determined the home was clear, she began going through the home again in hopes of getting a better profile of the subject in hopes of finding more evidence for them to understand who they were dealing with and how the subject chose Jules as her victim.

Leah immediately went back to the study located in the upstairs of the home and began her investigation by starting with some of Shannon Miller's personal files. It was then that she noticed the photo being used as the computers screensaver. She instantly recognized the wedding photo because it was the photo she personally took of Sam and Jules at their wedding and had professionally printed for the couple as a wedding gift. The only difference in this photo was the woman in the photo was not Jules; it was of another woman who seemed familiar to her as she tried to silently understand why that was.

As she did this the comforter on the bed in the adjacent room caught the corner of her eyes, forcing her instincts to be drawn to the room. Once Leah entered the room an impetuous gasp escaped her as she realized every inch of the room was an exact replica of Jules and Sam Braddock's master bedroom. She rushed opening closets and noticed SRU uniforms marked as Braddock, which Leah assumed was meant for Sam as the size of the uniforms were men's size.

Shirts and jackets she all recognized as her friend and teammate owning all in the closet as if this house was the one Sam was meant to live in. Leah was sure if Jules was there with her she would recognize even more things as Sam's belongings.

"WTF?" Leah mumbled with alarming concern as she slowly started drawing to a conclusion that this was not a random kidnapping anymore. The subject knew Jules and Sam very well apparently.

As she exited the master bedroom, she also noticed another room across the upstairs hallway with a familiar sign hanging from one of the bedroom doors. Another sign similar to the one she helped Jules pick out for the babies room on a girls day out shopping spree they had a few weeks before Jules was put on bed rest.

Once Leah entered the baby's room of the home, she was again taken back by every detail of the baby's room being the exact replica of the baby room Jules and Sam had decorated, except for a photo placed on the night stand next to a rocking chair.

The frame was the same as the one Jules and Sam had in their baby's room, but this one had a picture of Sam in his army uniform next to another woman. As Leah stared at the woman in the photo more closely, she finally remembered why she looked so familiar, causing her too hastily run to the SRU truck parked outside of the home to alert her teammates.

"Winnie, get a hold of Steve now!" Leah Kerns requested to the SRU dispatcher as he rushed to get in the SRU truck she parked in front of the Shannon Miller's home.

"Copy that" Winnie responded as she manned the SRU headquarters dispatch desk and proceeded to see if she could get a hold of Steve.

"Boss, we got a problem" Leah further announced to Sergeant Greg Parker knowing the rest of the team was also listening as they continued to follow the vehicle holding Jules captive.

"Talk to me Leah" Sergeant Greg Parker demanded in a concerned tone in anticipation of the news, sensing from the tone of Leah's voice the news was probably not going to be anything him or the rest of team one would be happy about hearing, especially Sam Braddock.

"I am sending a copy of the photo I found of our subject, Shannon Miller to your PDA's" Leah urgently communicated to her Sergeant and the rest of the members of Team One, "If that is even her name".

"This is personal boss. Sam I think this is all tied to you…this woman is someone you know from your past." She added causing Sam to shiver as he listened to the information intently through his earwig as he continued to follow behind the car holding his kidnapped wife and unborn child prisoner.

Before anyone else could even continue, Constable Leah Kerns was quick to provide them details about what she saw in the home and describing how the entire house was decorated to the exact replica of the Braddock home. She described how photos of Jules were ripped out and photos which were originally taken with Sam from the wedding and the other photo of Sam and the young woman that seemed to be an original photo.

"I think this is about getting Sam back" Leah theorized. "Whoever this is thinks stealing the baby will bring Sam back to her".

"So what are you trying to tell me Leah? The woman who has Jules is one of my ex's? ", Sam asked disturbed and sounding agitated hearing how a psychotic person who is currently holding his pregnant wife hostage is an acquaintance who thinks he should of chosen her for a wife instead of Jules.

It brought worry and additional guilt to Sam as he now blamed his self as the reason as to why this was all happening. He had dated a lot of woman back then and narrowing down which one was truly psychotic beyond the typical clingy ones he dated until he met Jules was going to prove to be a little difficult. He was also concerned if this was more about revenge as he recalled not treating every woman he was with back in his younger dumber days in the best of light.

Partnered with Ed Lane, Sam Braddock continued to follow Jules rental car from a distant and obeying Ed's order for all SRU officers to maintain distance until they figured out the best plan on how to approach the car without risking any further harm Jules as she remained trapped and defenseless in the trunk of the moving vehicle.

Sam sighed in relief along with the rest of the team thinking that as far as bad news was concerned, the news Leah had just provided was extremely creepy but not as horrific as they thought it would be. However after a few seconds, it dawned on all of them Leah had instructed Winnie to get a hold of Jules former boyfriend and childhood friend Steve, who sometimes participated in some of the SRU calls whenever EMS was needed to help the injured.

"Guys, I got a hold of Steve's partner. Steve never showed up for his shift today" Winnie dispatched for all of Team One to hear.

"Copy that Winnie" Greg Parker nodding his head still a little unsure where Leah was going with this, " Go ahead and dispatch uniformed officers to his home"

"Copy that Boss" Winnie acknowledged.

"Boss, I don't like the sound of this" Leah added after hearing the news from Winnie.

"A couple of weeks ago I ran into Steve at the Goose guys" Leah informed the team of her run in with Steve at a bar the team frequented after long shifts. "When I ran into him he introduced me to his blind date, Karen Anderson."

"I'm not making the connection here Leah" Sergeant Greg Parker added almost frustrated by Constable Leah Kerns wanting her to get to the point, but being patient knowing she was also still new to the SRU after recently transferring from being a firefighter to a job in law enforcement.

"It's the same woman in the photo guys" Leah finally announced to the team.

"I think we just confirmed subject has an accomplice" She further added, feeling relieved she finally disclosed her bad news to the team.

"It would make sense guys, if she wants to make sure the baby stays alive" Spike added as he looked at Greg Parker concerned over an unnecessary caesarean section and harm which might be done on Jules at this stage of her pregnancy and the emotional trauma it would to her if they found out Steve was also involved with her kidnapping.

"He can't be involved" Sam quickly replied. He didn't care too much for Steve because he knew he still possessed feelings for Jules and would grab at the chance to insert himself if he ever screwed up, so he couldn't see him intentionally trying to harm Jules.

"There is no way he would ever hurt Jules this way despite how he feels about me" Sam pointed out further as he looked at Ed Lane with a silent sense of urgency. Both knowing, they needed to make a decision soon as they would soon be approaching an on ramp.

"All right, we need to do a rolling road block" Ed Lane instructed

"Are we sure that is the best solution Eddie" Greg Parker asked concerned about the subject feeling provoked once they try to barricade the car on all sides to get the vehicle to stop.

"No choice Boss" Sam replied agreeing with Ed. "We can't ram her since Jules is in the car, and we need to act now and use the element of surprise."

In the meantime Sam Braddock got back on the phone with Jules who knew something was going on based on the silence on the other end of the line. Jules knew they were trying to keep her calm and making sure she didn't hear any information which may cause her to panic.

"Jules sweetheart, how are both of you doing?" Sam asked hoping this would all be over soon, making a mental note to himself to make it point of getting something stronger than bubble wrap to keep his wife safe, because once this was all over he was never going to take his eyes off of her again not even after their baby was born.

"Still ok…..aaahhhhh" Jules answered hoping she would be more convincing, but with another early contractions, she didn't do a very good job of masking the pain she was in.

"You're going to be ok Jules…..we're getting you out sweetheart" Sam told her, as he gave her instructions to brace herself as three SRU trucks surrounded the small black two door Honda and Sam relinquished communications with Jules to Sergeant Greg Parker, the man he trusted the most to take care of his wife as he concentrated on the tactical maneuvers.

In an instant, it seemed like everything intertwined as various information began coming in through their communications equipment as members of Team One and Team three forced the Honda with a blond woman driving to stop as there SRU trucks surrounded every angle of the car.

"GET OUT OF THE CAR NOW!" Ed Lane yelled pointing his remmy 700 along with Sam at the potential subject. "KEEP YOUR HANDS IN THE AIR WHERE I CAN SEE THEM, HAND IN THE AIR!"

It was in that instant Greg Parker and Spike Scarlatti knew something was off, as Jules asked for a status as to when the vehicle she was in would stop. In that moment they realized they had been played by the subject.

"Wait what's going on?" Ed Lane slowly approaching the subject as he looked at Sam who was backing him up, as both of them heard the information that the car Jules was in was still moving wondering how that was possible when they had Jules rental car in front of them.

"Turn around now! Turn around!" Sam yelled at the subject, as he watched the subject obey his instructions and slowly lower one hand to the top of her head to remove a blond wig.

Sam and Ed instantly recognized that Steve stood in front of them with C4 strapped to his chest as Sam Braddock's world crumbled before him as he realized they had just put Jules in more danger without any back up or knowledge of where she was now.
