Chapter 6
"According to reports, General Lane was abducted during a meeting with a woman called Anna Amaruso. An android was involved" Hank spoke to Kara and his agents.
"Has the women been located" Kara asked
"No" Hank replied "It took her too".
"Sir" An agent called "I've been looking through Agent Danvers files; trying to find a lead."
"And" Hank said
"Both Agent Danvers and General Lane where involved in the red tornado case. Around six months ago, Dr Morrow's mother and fiancée enquired about his death. They demanded an investigation be carried out but it was denied. Two months ago Dr Morrow's mother died from bone cancer and his fiancée has recently emptied her accounts."
"What's the link" Hank asked
"Tom Morrow's fiancée was Anna Amaruso"
"Pull up everything you can on Anna Amaruso"
"Yes Sir" the agent replied before tapping away on her keyboard. Within minutes, information regarding Anna appeared on the monitors. Kara stared at the photo of Anna; her gut somehow knew this woman was involved in her sister's abduction. Kara quickly read some of the information appearing on the screen; she graduated top of her class, no living family members, lived in National City for the past five years, employment – "She works for General Lane" Kara read out loud.
"Send a team to her home address; I doubt we'll find much there but it's worth checking. Try tracking her location via GPS. Run her photo through facial recognition, we need to locate her" Hank ordered.
"What can I do" Kara asked
"Right now, you need to be patient"
Kara rolled her eyes.
Hank sighed "Fine, go check out Amaruso's home; just make sure you're not seen. She still could be a victim and the last thing we need is Supergirl being accused of breaking and entering."
"I'll change" Kara replied
Kara arrived at Anna's apartment and knocked on the door. There was no answer; she used her X-ray vision and scanned the apartment. There was no one home. She held the door handle and pushed. The door opened as the lock on the other side dropped to the floor. Kara stepped into the apartment and closed the door behind her. She walked into the living area; there was nothing out of the ordinary. She moved around the apartment, she noticed photos of Tom and Anna on a shelf to her right. Newspapers were spread all over the coffee table; pictures of General Lane had been circled. Kara sensed that Anna hadn't been back to her apartment in days. She headed towards a door on her left and entered Anna's bedroom. The room was dark, Kara flicked the light switch; She stood frozen to the spot as she tried to process what she was looking at. Anna's walls were covered in surveillance photos of Alex. In the centre was a photo of Tom; Three separate pieces of black string ran from his photo to a photo of Alex, General Lane and Supergirl. Each photo was surrounding with information about the person in the photo. "Murderer" was written above it Alex's photo. Kara noticed there were photos of herself with Alex; this woman had followed them. Her eyes fell on a photo of Eliza and panic rose inside her. She quickly pulled her phone out and dialled Eliza's number. "Come on, pick up". Eliza answered on the fourth ring.
"Hi sweetie" Eliza said
"Eliza hey" Kara's mind went blank. She knew Eliza was safe and didn't want to worry her.
"Is everything ok?" Eliza asked
"Yeah everything's fine, I'm just ringing to say hi" Kara hated lying to her adoptive mother but Alex would kill her if she told Eliza the truth. She would find Alex and Eliza would never need to know.
"Well it's good to hear from you; how are you?"
"I'm fine" Are the only words Kara managed to say.
"Are you sure, you don't sound like your normal self"
"It's just work, Cat has me running a million errands'"
"You and Alex both work too hard. You should take some time off and come visit. I miss my girls"
Kara fought back the tears; a lump rose in her throat but she swallowed it back down "We will, I promise. I have to go but we'll speak soon"
"Ok sweetie and ask Alex to return my calls. I know she's busy but it would be nice to hear from her"
"I will, love you"
"Love you too"
Kara hung up the phone and sobbed. Her phone started to vibrate; she composed herself before answering.
"Kara" Hank said "We have a lead"
"I'm on my way" Kara wiped away her tears and took photos of Anna's bedroom before heading back to the DEO.
