Deanna quickly tore through the closet, finding a peach colored sundress and some sneakers. Aftrr dressing she grabbed Amanda's hand, leading her into the backyard where the two girls began happily playing. Neither girl noticed as a black SUV pulled into the driveway.
"So what are we doing here," Frank Paulson asked. The middle age man ran his hand through his salt and pepper hair as he glanced at his partner Michelle Thomas.
"Ms. LaCroiux wants us to investigate all TransDem employees that were at the office last night," she said. "Marvin Jennings left about an hour after the incident."
"Okay true but he's small potatoes," Franj stated. "He's a low level security officer. Mostly he watches the lobby or the public offices. He doesn't even have access to the high security areas of the building."
Michelle sighed, blowing a stray brown hair from her eyes. "His car was in the same parking garage as Dr. Turner and Harrison," she groaned. "The investigators have already determined thay it was either one of them that stole the chronovac. Theirs a chance Jennings saw something."
Frank nodded quietly as he looked towards the home. Michelle always talked down to him when investigations were ongoing. It annoyed Frank that the woman was quickly able to make connections in cases that he was unable to make as quickly. Glancing at his tablet he looked over Marvin's information.
"Says here the guy lives with his wife and granddaughter," he said flatly. "Guess hes supplementing his income." Michelle nodded in agreement as she got out of the SUV. As the two now began to approach the home Frank glanced around the neighborhood.
"So tell me," Frank asked. "Who do you think is the likely thief?"
"If I was a betting woman I would say Dr. Turner," Michelle said thoughtfully. "I've met Wilma before, she's not the kind of woman to just turn on her employer."
Looking over the home both Frank and Michelle could see that it looked as if no one was home. Sighing in frustration they were about to return to the car when they heard laughter coming from the backyard. Slowly they circled the house, gazing into the backyard.
Michelle could see two girls no older than 7 happily playing on a swingset. Quickly Michelle looked down at her tablet, punching up Marvin's information. The dark haired girl looked like his granddaughter Amanda. The other girl though was a complete mystery. Smiling impishly Michelle looked at the girl with dirty blonde hair. "I think we just found Dr. Turner."
Amanda and Deanna were to absorbed in their play to notice the two adults enter the backyard. It wasn't until Michelle gave a friendly hello that the two girls stopped, staring at the strangers fearfully.
"Dont worry girls I'm not here to hurt you" Michelle said sweetly. "I was just wondering where Mr. And Mrs. Jennings were?"
Amanda gulped as she looked at the two TransDem agents. "My grandpa went out and my grandma is inside," she said quickly. Michelle nodded as she now looked at Deanna sternly. "I see," she said. "That means you must be Amanda, their granddaughter. The question is who is this one?"
"D....Deanna," the little blonde stammered. Michelle smiled sickly as she looked down at rhe frightened young girl.
"Deanna huh," she said menacingly. "Hmm you dont look like a Deanna, you look more like a Katherine."
Deanna shrank backwards as Frank and Michelle slowly approached her. "Dr. Turner," Michelle said sternly. "You've been a very bad girl. Im afraid your going to have to come with us."
Amanda watched horror struck as the two adults began to close in on Deanna. The two believed that she was a regressed Dr. Turner. While thankful they didn't believe she was actually Wilma she now feared for Deanna's safety. The two adults would take Deanna back to TransDem along with her and the chronovac. Once they had it Amanda knew that both girls would never be seen again.
Amanda needed to come up with a plan quickly. Remembering the chronovac was in her pocket she slowly took it out. Entering a command the girl now pointed it at the two adults, hoping to save Deanna.
