Don't own anything.
So sorry for delay!!!
Flack looked over at Jess, "Who are you meeting?"
Jess nodded down the street, where a girl was leaning against a wall, "Her name's Chrystal. Her foster parents beat her and when she left there was no place she could go, except the streets. She's crashed at my place a couple of times. She's a good girl who doesn't deserve this."
Flack sighed, "How does she know about the kids?"
"Her main corner is right by the building they were using to store the kids."
"So she may have saw something?"
Jess nodded, "It might be better if you stay back..."
Flack nodded, "Sure."
Jess walked over to Chrystal, "Hey, how are you?"
Chrystal looked up, "I think I'm okay. Who's your boyfriend?"
Jess looked back, "Flack. He's a good guy. How about you come back to my place, you can stay tonight, okay?"
Chrystal nodded, "If you say he's okay... You wanna know if I saw what happened?"
Jess smiled, "You're smart. Come on, let's go."
Chrystal nodded, and they walked back to Flack.
Chrystal looked a lot more at ease in a blue bathrobe and with a mug of hot chocolate.
Flack watched her then turned to Jess, "She trusts you."
Jess smiled, "I sure hope so, I called Stella and Mac, I think it would be better if Chrystal met them now. I need to tell her what's going on or she won't talk."
Flack nodded, "I'll wait for them."
Jess nodded and walked over to Chrystal, "How are you feeling?"
Chrystal leaned back against the couch, "Okay, you're a cop aren't you?"
Jess nodded, "Detective. You would make a good one."
Chrystal smiled, "Thanks, but I don't think that's a good idea."
Jess smiled, "It doesn't matter. Flack is also a detective. So are Stella and Mac, they're coming over now."
"Okay. Jess, all the kids were okay. Bruised and battered, but alive. They were put into three blue vans, some logo, "Phil's Fast and Reliable Cleaners." The plates were AGJ 874, FSK 239, and LNZ 516, New York. Four men, medium height, two brown haired, one blond haired, and one had a baseball cap. All wearing sunglasses and two had guns hidden in their sleeves. I wasn't able to see much, I was hidden behind the wall. I don't think they saw me."
Jess was amazed at how much this girl knew, "That's okay, but Chrystal, I think it's best if you stay here, with me."
"Just in case they saw me. Okay, when are your friends getting here?"
"Soon, go get something to eat, you know where everything is."
Chrystal stood up and looked at Jess, "Thanks, for everything."
Jess smiled, "Welcome, now go eat, you're a toothpick."
Chrystal grinned and headed to the kitchen.
Okay, next chapter we will introduce Chrystal to Mac and Stella. Hope you enjoyed and sorry for the delay!
Love always, Heavenly...
