I need to start this chapter by saying that I know nothing about Canadian or American law, I know nothing about how a suspect would be questioned or who would do it. I also know nothing about how someone would be brought back, so PLEASE over look all those mistakes and enjoy the chapter. Thanks Trish J
Chapter 13
Sara stood in the shower and just let the hot water hit her back, she had been right, it did bother her just a little but she would never tell Gil.
"Started without me?" Gil said stepping into the shower with her.
"I woke a little early and didn't want to disturb you," she said.
"Let me do that for you," Gil said, turning her around. Gil put some soap on his hands and massaged her back using just enough pressure to untie the knots and relieve the pain.
"That feels good," Sara said.
Gil turned her to him and kissed her, "You shouldn't let me do that."
"What?" Sara said pretending not to know what he was talking about.
"Sara Sidle," Gil said, "You know as well as I do what I am trying to say."
Sara half smiled, "I didn't know you knew."
Gil laughed, "The only time you are out of bed before me and standing in a steaming hot shower is after a night like last night."
Sara kissed him, "Then I should be glad you don't need it to often."
"I'm sorry," Gil said.
"Don't be," Sara told him, "Sometimes that is all that will relieve the frustrations and anger a person builds up."
"When was the last time I told you I love you?" Gil asked.
"Every time you look at me," Sara said.
With showers taken, clothing changed and breakfast eaten Gil and Sara were in the car on their way to the lab when Sara's phone rang. Sara flipped the phone shut then to Gil she said, "We need to make a side trip to your place."
"For?" Gil questioned.
"I have to toss a few things in an overnight bag and met Jim at the airport," Sara told him, "He has everything in order."
"My best friend and my girl flying off to Canada," Gil said, with a half smile, "Should I be jealous?"
"Only if Jim was a lot younger and better looking and if I didn't love you so much," Sara told him.
"Why the overnight bag?" Gil asked.
"Jim said better to have it and not need it then to need it and not have it," Sara said, "He's not sure how long this will take."
Gil found Jim waiting in the boarding area. "Hey kid," Jim said to Sara, "I have all the paperwork I need right here." Jim showed Sara a brief case. "You have your identification papers and your weapon?" Jim asked.
Sara told him she did.
"Give me your gun," Jim said, "The airlines said they would fell a lot better if it were locked away." Sara agreed and handed him her gun, "I'll give it back to you when we land," Jim assured her.
The flight was called.
"Sara," Gil said, "Be careful."
"I will. See you when I get back. I love you," Sara kissed him and headed for the gate.
"I'll take good care of her," Jim said.
"I'll hold you to it," Gil said. Gil stood and watched them board as a shiver ran through his body. In a few hours they may be facing the man who took Sandra's life, was he in any shape to fight them? What if he took Sara's too? Gil shook the thought from his head, Sara will be armed and she will have Jim with her. Gil took his phone and called Henry.
"Is it possible that we will soon have justice for Sandra?" Henry asked.
"I wish I knew," Gil told him, "I wish I knew."
The flight from Vegas to Ottawa took eight hours. When the plane landed at Ottawa International Airport they were greeted by a young lady holding a sign with Brass's name on it. "I am Toni Atkins," she said, "I was instructed to dive you to headquarters." Jim introduced Sara.
"James Brass, you old SOB. How you been?" came the greeting from a very large friendly sort of fella.
"Not to bad, Kevin," Jim said. "Kevin Bennett, Sara Sidle - Sara, Kevin," Jim said making the introductions, "Miss Sidle is with the Crime Lab."
"Let's go to my office," Kevin said, "You can fill me in on the details. Toni, bring some tea if you don't mind."
Seated in the office Jim filled Bennett in on Sandra's murder and then told him how they had traced the gun to Pete Carson. "Pete's uncle is Jay Carson," Jim said.
"And it was Mr. Carson's fingerprints and DNA all over the passengers side of the car that was used in that shooting," Sara added.
"I can see why you didn't give me all that information over the phone," Bennett said, "I doubt I would believe it."
Then he looked at Sara, "Did you really threaten to shoot those rats?"
Sara laughed, "Yes."
"Not that I mind looking at a beautiful woman James, but would it not have been easier to bring a fella with you?" Kevin asked.
"Sara has a ….. well a personal interest," Jim said, uncertain how to continue.
"At the time of Miss Williams death she was engaged to my fiancé," Sara said.
"Well, we were able to track Mr. Peter Carson down. He drives a rig and will not be back until tomorrow. There is no record of a Jay or Jason Carson and no mention of an uncle, just a Berry Carson. He would be Peter's father," Kevin said, "So I have arranged to put you up at the LORD ELGIN HOTEL for the night. Miss Atkins will drop you off there and pick you up in the morning. I have already told Jock - that's Carson's boss, to see to it that the young man does not go anywhere till we talk to him."
Bennett noticed Sara's side arm, "I assume you have proper credentials?" Sara showed him her identification papers, Kevin laughed, "I figured you did."
After checking into her room Sara called Gil, even though he was in a different time zone she knew he would be awake. Sara filled Gil in on what they knew so far then she said, "I miss you. I'm not sure I can sleep without you."
Gil chuckled, "I put something in your bag."
Sara opened her bag, on the top was one of Gil's shirts. Sara quickly stripped down to her panties and put the shirt on, "Oh darling, thank you," Sara said.
"I knew I couldn't put MY arms around you so I figured I would send the second best thing."
Sara lay on the bed and talked to Gil for a while longer, "You need to get some sleep," she said, "I'll call you after we talk to Peter Carson."
"Please be careful," Gil said.
"Promise, I love you," Sara said.
"I love you," Gil told her.
Sara lay on her back looking at the ceiling she said, "I have never been sure if you exist or not but just incase you do, help me find the man so I can put Gil's mind at peace."
