previously:

Sam has a rough morning, and Freddie gets a call from Oliver Cambridge who informs him of new information that has been uncovered. The mystery women also returns again, and it is learned that she is very cautious as to who the little girl is around.

chapter 7

The next day, Sam and Freddie walked into the office of Oliver B. Cambell for the second time. "I still don't see how this guy can help us." He whispered to Sam. The Man was no where to be seen, so Sam had sat on the old sofa, while Freddie prefered to stand. The office was no better now than it had only a few days ago, though it does seem that the desk has been cleaned a bit.

"I told you Freddie, he's a detective. he works undercover to find unanswered questions for people like us." Sam stated, looking around the cramped office. "Carly would have had a heart attack in here." Sam smiled at the memory of her clauserphobic friend. "Sam, don't bring her up to, one mystery at a time." Freddie pleaded, though he couldn't help but laugh at thought of Carly freaking out in their simulation space pod. those years seemed so far away compared to what they are facing now.

The two turned at the sound of the office door opening. "Their here? are you-oh there you are!" the man said, walking in, making the office feel even smaller. "You said you had more information for us?" Sam asked eagerly, pulling herself off the dusty couch to stand next to Freddie. "Well, yes I do have more information," He began, "But I need to make sure that you both are confident that we have a case." Sam and Oliver both turned and looked at Freddie. "Well I-" Freddie started, looking at the carpet.
"Please Freddie, this is important to me. it should be to you too. Just please." Sam pleaded, tears forming in her eyes.
"Fine." Freddie said plainly, thinking he'd anything to help Sam get over this fantasy.
"Ok then, since we're all on the same page I can tell you what more I've uncovered." the Man stated. "I have here, some files that may be of some use in the case." He went on, pulling a stack of manila envelopes. "First, I've done some research on our prime suspect. Now, I haven't learned their name at this point, and we don't know if she is or is not involved directly with this case. A few years back, right around the time your baby was born, she is reported to have had a baby, a little girl." Cambridge sat back, rereading over the paper in his hands. "It is also stated that soon after the birth, maybe a month or two, the baby died of an unknown cause. We believe that this women, distraught at the loss of her own child, plotted to get a child of her own." He paused to open another envalope. "like I said, this is what are sources have dug up. We don't know if this is or is not related to your cause. We do know for certain that there is a record of a birth, and a death of a child under the age of one year of age." He looked up.
"So, how does this fit in with us? She just happened to be attracted to our baby out of all of them?" Freddie asked, leaning back in his own chair
"Well, we don't think this is a random act. We believe the only way to pull off a kidnapping like this would be to be close to the parents themselfs." The man answered. "Did any of your friends or relitives-" he was cut off.
"My sister melanie." Sam interupted, looking terrified at Freddie. "Remember, like a month or two before, she came over in the middle of the night crying. She told me she woke up to feed the baby, but when she went to check on her-" Sam gasped.
"the baby wasn't breathing." Freddie finished. "But melanie doesn't have dark hair, plus she came over all the time after that." Sam said, sighing in relief.
"So that rules her out." Cambridge said, "Anybody else?" "Not that I can think of." Sam said. "What about-" she looked at Freddie. '
"No sam, thats crazy. she would never-" Freddie looked back at cambridge.
"Our friend Carly Shay. She dissapeared five years ago, just after we lost Charlotte. nobody has heard from her since." Freddie stated, thinking back to that day. "She fit your description, and she was there when the baby was born." Freddie continued. "But she never lost a baby, or was ever a nurse." He finished. "Like I said, not all of it is complete fact. its like a puzzle, some pieces are put where they look like they go, but end up in a completly different spot." Cambridge concluded, looking over a yellow tinted paper at the Frazzled man.
"Sam, do you honestly think CARLY of all people took our baby?" Freddie was still having a hard time believing any of this.
"Well, it does seem to fit. She was there that day. She fits the description. She disapeared like, right after." Sam said, not wanting to believe it herself. Carly was her best friend, her other half. she was her escape when she couldn't be at her own house, when things got too bad. The couple just looked at each other.

next time:

"Freddie, do you want a boy or a girl?" She asked suddenly, looking up at her husband. "A boy or girl what?" he asked, "Oh the baby, I guess it doesn't matter as long it's healthy." He asked, looking away from Sam.
"Come on, you have to want one over the other!" Sam stated, wriggling out of Freddie's arms. "I for one, want a boy." Sam said, her hand placed gently over her slightly growing belly.
"Fine, a boy I guess." Freddie said, looking over at Sam in anoyance. He really did not feel like talking about babies at that moment.
"Why do you want a boy?" He felt intriged to ask. "I don't know, I mean we already have a girl. and I'm sure by the time this one gets here, she'll be back with us." Sam said, grinning at Freddie, "Why do you want a boy?"
"Same as you I guess, I mean the other two were girls-" He stopped ubruptly at what he had said. They never talked about the first baby they lost.
