Thy Sister's Keeper

by MHC1987

James' sister Nell decides to start her own business, to her brother's dismay. Does Nell know anything about running a business? Will this strain brother - sister bonds to breaking point? Maybe a couple of friends can help mend and maintain the siblings' familial bonds. I don't own the characters. I just like to help prolong the enjoyment of the series.

3. Chapter 3 Multiples

As Laura was loading her equipment into her vehicle, another request for her services came through. Today was getting to be a busy day, she realized.

While she parked at the site of her next case, she was looking for a very specific living and breathing specimen of humanity called Robbie. The property was wooded in some portions with rolling hills. She saw the gentleman who had graced her with his presence at breakfast. She was about to make a quip about him not being at her previous case, but her Robbie looked very serious. So she decided that humor might need to wait for a while.

"Hello, Dr. Hobson" Robbie said to her, smiling as best he could under whatever circumstances were weighing him down. He waited for her to get out of her vehicle and carried her bag for her to the site of the deceased.

"This is going to be a very interesting case, Doctor. We figured out that the person of interest was the perpetrator when he started to sell some of the possessions of the deceased individuals. A motorcycle, a cell phone and a fish tank, among other items. This led the investigation back to the perpetrator who in turn confessed to two other murders and suggested that he could provide solid information on three additional murders."

"Dr. Hobson, a note of interest. The suspect has informed us that there may be three different individuals in this particular hole in the ground."

She looked at Robbie with some surprise and began to understand the complexities of this case that might be causing him distress. "Noted, sir." with a crisp salute. Robbie smiled and nodded "I'll leave you to your duties. If you need anything given the complications of this case, let me know."

Laura responded "I will Robbie, thank you."

Robbie heard another vehicle pull up and saw Lizzie and James get out of the car.

"What sir, didn't management think that we were making our monthly quota so you dug up two cases back to back?" James sarcastically asked of Robbie.

Robbie informed James and Lizzie, "Once you confer with the good Doctor, you'll find this is the bonus round. It's a three for one deal. Looks like there may be up to three individuals who have been given the opportunity to enrich the ground in this area."

James and Lizzie looked at each other with Lizzie noting, "Well Sir, at least we won't be bored any time soon." as she and James went over to where Dr. Hobson was starting to make some discoveries in the case.
