Chapter 4

Ricky D'Angelo sat at his desk inside his office when Mikey came back with the information he requested. "Here you go Mr. D'Angelo. This is what I could find on Lieutenant Andrew Flynn of the LAPD" Mikey said to D'Angelo as he handed him his notes. "I see he is divorced with two older children" D'Angelo says as he looks over the notes. "That's funny. I thought I saw him wearing a wedding ring when they were here earlier" D'Angelo said to Mikey. "That's all I could get from public records, Ricky" Mikey said back to him. D'Angelo then throws the papers back on his desk. "There's nothing here I can use, Mikey" D'Angelo tells him. "Find me something I can use" D'Angelo says to him as he places his hands on the side of Mikey's face and looks into his eyes. "Yes sir" Mikey says back to D'Angelo and then leaves his office.

Inside Sharon's office, Andy and Provenza both have a seat in front of her desk as she sits down. "Okay, tell me what you found out" she says to them. "Well, Mr. D'Angelo is a mob boss for sure" Provenza said to Sharon. "Anything useful, Lieutenant?" Sharon said back to Provenza giving him one of her looks. "We asked him nicely about Dan Miller, but he played it off saying he didn't know him" Provenza said to her. "Did you get a chance to look around at all, maybe see if he could be hiding Tommy somewhere there?" Sharon asked the two of them. Provenza and Andy both looked at each other and then back at Sharon. "Uh, no, they pretty much brought us to a conference room and that was it" Andy said to her as he cleared his throat. "What are you not telling me" Sharon asked them as she knew they were keeping something from her. "Flynn here pissed D'Angelo off" Provenza said as he pointed towards Andy. Andy looked back at him. "I did not piss him off, I just simply said that we know one of his people took Tommy this morning and that he should stop playing games with us" Andy said back to him as he looked at Sharon. Sharon had enough of their banter between each other. "Alright, enough. Perhaps Jimmy can lead us back to D'Angelo somehow" Sharon said to Andy and Provenza. "I contacted the school and spoke to the principal, she has a teacher there that noticed someone at the after school care program yesterday. He was outside the fence by the playground as the children were playing. The teacher approached him but the guy ran off. She was able to get a good look at him so I faxed the picture we have of Jimmy to the school" Sharon said to them. "Do you want us to go to St. Anne's and speak with the teacher who saw this person?" Andy asked her. Sharon shook her head. "No, not yet. Let's talk with Jimmy first and see what he can tell us" Sharon said as she got up from her chair.

Andy stood up and met her before they left her office. Provenza was already outside. "Sharon, if this guy was at Matthew's school yesterday" Andy started to say to her but she interrupted him. "I know Andy, I know" Sharon said back to him and placed her hand on his arm and then left her office. Provenza and Sharon entered the interview room where Jimmy was sitting. "Hello Jimmy, I'm Captain Flynn this is Lieutenant Provenza" Sharon said to Jimmy as she had a seat. "Jimmy, we want to know what you did with Tommy Miller" Provenza said to Jimmy. "Who?" Jimmy said back to him. "Oh, this guy wants to play games too" Andy said to Chief Howard, Buzz, and Julio who were all in the electronics room watching the interview. "Tommy Miller, Jimmy. The little boy that you kidnapped this morning from a parking lot" Sharon said to him as she showed him the still photo of him in the car that he stole. "You see, Jimmy, we have you on video tape shoving a gun in the mom's face and then moving her out of her car, while Tommy was in the back seat" Provenza explained to Jimmy as he looked at him. "We also have you entering a parking lot in the same car that you stole and then a minute later, you are shoving Tommy into another car and it drives away" Provenza concluded as he showed the still pictures as he was talking to him. "Now there can only be one logical explanation here, Jimmy. You kidnapped Tommy on behalf of somebody else, because let's face it, I don't think you are smart enough to come up with this elaborate plan" Provenza said to him as he sat back in his chair. "So what is it, Jimmy?" Sharon asked him as she leaned forward.

Jimmy looked at the pictures in front of him on the table. He knew D'Angelo would hang him out to dry if he turned him in. "The kid's father owed some money, so I followed the kid around and at the right opportunity, I took him" Jimmy said to them. Sharon looked at Provenza and then at Jimmy. "Who did Dan Miller owe money to?" Sharon asked him. "I don't know" Jimmy said as he shuffled in his seat. "You're lying Jimmy" Provenza pointed to him. Sharon held up her hand. "Did he owe money to your boss, Ricky D'Angelo?" Sharon asked him. Jimmy just looked at her and didn't say anything. Sharon leaned back in her chair. "Jimmy, where is Tommy?" Sharon asked him. Jimmy looked back at her and then down at the table. Sharon stood up. "Jimmy, where is Tommy?" she asked again. "I took him to my sister's house" Jimmy said. "Where does she live?" Provenza asked. "She doesn't know anything about this" Jimmy said back to them. "Where does she live!" Sharon said to him. "66th and Long" Jimmy said as he sat back. Both Sharon and Provenza exited the room and left patrol to watch Jimmy. Everyone left the electronics room and met Sharon and Provenza in the hallway. "Lights and sirens everyone, be careful!" Sharon said to them.

"Go with them Captain, I can stay here and make sure both parents are okay" Chief Howard said to Sharon. "Thank you Chief" Sharon said back to him and then joined Andy. They headed down to their cars and once inside, Sharon grabbed the radio and started communicating with the rest of the team while Andy drove them. Provenza was with Julio and Buzz. Mike and Amy were together. It took them a while to navigate the streets from the PAB to the location of Jimmy's sister's house. It was located all the way across town and LA traffic did not want to cooperate with them today.

"Come on people, move out of the way!" Andy said to the cars in front of them as he tried getting around. Sharon just looked at him and she could tell that he was getting agitated. This case was hitting close to them both. Tommy was a year younger than Matthew now, since they celebrated Matthew's 9th birthday a couple of days ago. "Andy" she said to him. Just one word, his name, from her was all it took for him to calm down. A couple of years ago and that wouldn't have been the case. "I don't know what I would do if it was one of our kids that was missing. I mean this boy is in Matthew's class" Andy started to say as they were driving on the freeway towards their exit. "I know Andy" Sharon said to him, trying not to think about it. Andy knew that Sharon would do anything for their kids, and proved that protecting Rusty a few years back.

Andy was following Provenza and Julio's car as they got off and headed down the streets towards their destination on the left side of the street. They pulled up and headed out to meet up at Provenza's car. "Okay everyone, I want this to go smooth. According to Jimmy, his sister does not know anything about the kidnapping. We are just going to knock on the door and rescue Tommy. I don't foresee this being a weapon usage but you never know so stay focused everybody" Sharon said to them and then they headed towards the house where Jimmy's sister resided. Sharon knocked on the door and a woman answered. "Hello?" she said to Sharon. "Hello, I am Captain Sharon Flynn of the LAPD. Are you Jimmy Caputo's sister?" Sharon asked her. "Yes, what's this about?" the woman asked Sharon as she looked at everyone behind Sharon. "We spoke to your brother, Jimmy, earlier and he informed us that you are watching a young boy for him, is that right?" Sharon asked her. "Yes, that's right. He dropped him off earlier today and didn't explain anything. Just asked me if I was able to watch him" the woman responded. "May we come in?" Sharon asked the woman. The woman hesitated but then moved to the side and they entered the home. Andy led the search for the boy through the house as Sharon and Amy stayed with Jimmy's sister. "What's going on? Is Jimmy in trouble?" the woman asked. "I'm afraid Jimmy is in a lot of trouble" Sharon said to her. "You see, the little boy that Jimmy brought to you was kidnapped earlier this morning from his mom at a LA pharmacy parking lot" Amy said to the woman. "Oh my gosh. I didn't know. I didn't know any of that. Jimmy didn't tell me anything" the woman started to get hysterical. "Calm down, you're not in trouble. We just want to reunite the boy with his mother, that's all" Sharon said to her as she tried calming the woman down.

Andy found Tommy Miller sitting in a smaller room watching TV and playing with some toys. The little boy was coughing. "Tommy?" he said to the kid. Tommy looked up at Andy and nodded. "Are you here to bring me back to my mom?" Tommy asked Andy. "Yes, I am a police officer with the LAPD, my name is Andy" Andy said to Tommy. Tommy looked back at Andy and recognized him. "You're Matthew's foster dad" he said to him. Andy nodded and grabbed Tommy's hand to lead him out of the room they were in. "I got him!" Andy yelled alerting everyone else who was searching the house. Andy brought Tommy out back to the front of the house where Sharon and Amy were standing with Jimmy's sister. "I'm so sorry! I didn't know he was missing" Jimmy's sister kept saying to Sharon and Amy. Sharon looked at Amy who then led the sister to another area. "We're going to need you to come down with us and give us a statement" Amy said to the woman and they walked outside to the cars. "Am I under arrest?" she asked Amy as her and Julio escorted her to the car. "No, you're not under arrest ma'am. We just need you to answer some questions for us at our office" Julio said to her as Amy put her in the car. Julio drove the car as Amy sat in the back seat with Jimmy's sister.

Sharon looked down at Tommy who was coughing a little bit. Tommy recognized Sharon. "You're Matthew's foster mom, aren't you?" he said to her as Sharon and Andy brought him to the car. "I am" Sharon said to Tommy. "Do you know Matthew?" Sharon asked him as she looked at Andy who opened the car door. "We are in the same class together. I've seen you pick him up a couple of times after school" Tommy said to Sharon. "I really miss my mom" Tommy said as he got into the back seat of the police car. "Well, we are taking you right to her. She is at our office currently waiting for you" Sharon said to Tommy and he smiled. "Captain!" Provenza called to Sharon from the house they were just in. Andy looked back to see what Provenza wanted and pointed in his direction. Sharon looked back to see Provenza approaching them both. "Captain, there's no sign of any evidence inside the house" Provenza said to her. "Okay, Lieutenant, let's head back and reunite Tommy with his mother. Then we can figure out what exactly is going on here" Sharon said to Provenza. Provenza nodded and waved to everyone else, signaling that they were heading back. Sharon got in their car and Andy drove them back to the office.
