Back to the labs

Only time could tell ...
Chapter 6

My heart missed a beat, and I smiled back insecure. Insecure about what the future might bring and about what happened when we reached the labs. Cath told me to wait until she was back. And so I did. I watched her as she parked her car on the driveway of the Reese’s residence. She got out of the car again, with her kit and asked for my keys. She walked back to my SUV and started the engine. She drove the car back until the car and the ambulance blocked the view for the photographers. Nevertheless they where still trying to take some pictures. Ryan was still sleeping in my arms, not aware of his surrounding.

Cath opened the backdoor for me and I stepped into the car with Ryan sitting o lap lap. Cath was still smiling, she found it al pretty amusing seeing me dragging around with a kid. Alyson walked around the car and opened the front door.

The drive back to the labs was silent. Nobody had anything to tell and besides we didn’t want to wake Ryan up. By the time that we reached the labs my arm was sleeping. And when Cath parked the car and stepped out she took Ryan over from me. I got out of the car and picked our kit’s up. We entered the building and walked into the break room. Cath placed Ryan on the sofa, and asked Alyson whether she would like to have a coffee. A little while later I was discussing with Alyson what would happen to Ryan.

“Well first we try to locate his closest relatives of course and asked whether they are interested in taking him in. When that’s all cleared we search for a foster home for him, a foster home decides if he can stay with them forever or only temporarly.” I nodded.

“Let’s just hope that he has a family member that’ll take him in.”

Suddenly the door of the break room slams open and a young woman walks in she walks straight over to Ryan and picks him up. Cath and I are so astonished that we don’t know what to do. Alyson jumps over to the woman and stops her. Ryan looks scared he has no idea what just happened to him.

Someone else appears in the door.

“Brass, what the hell just happened here?”

“She is his older sister.”

“Sister,” Cath and I answer at the same time.

“Yep older sister,” I look at the woman, she was about 21 years old. “We checked it out, she was at a restaurant and she has at least 50 witnesses.” Brass must have noticed my strange look. 50 Witnesses, people would never notice me in a restaurant, do people ever notice me.

“Her boyfriend asked her to marry him on his knees, so everybody remembers them at the restaurant. So that clears them both.”

Ryan is sitting on her lap in shock, he has no idea why his sister appeared and started to cry. She his holding him, hugging him, kissing him. Ryan starts to cry.

“What’s her name?” Cath asked.

“Janice Bensons, she is a half sibling. Same mother, different father. Her mother was 17 when she became pregnant with her maybe we should check out her father?” Brass explained.

Cath sat down next to Janice and talked to her. After a couple of minutes she waved at me. Janice handed Ryan over to me. Cath walked down the corridor with Janice next to her. They entered one of the labs and I saw her take some fingerprints and blood samples. So that we could compare it to the evidence and rule out that she was guilty or prove that she wasn´t.

“Can you tell her that she has to come over to the office to sign some papers if she wants to take care of Ryan, or when she decides to give him up for adoption. After all it’s her own choice, it’s her life.” Alyson said to Brass and she handed him a business card. Brass nodded, he looked at me. “Are you alright.”

“Why wouldn’t I be.” I asked him maybe a little bitchier then it was meant.

“I’ll walk with you to the entrance and make sure that someone brings you back to your car.” He said to Alyson.

“I can take care of a kid for a couple of minutes.” I mumbled between my teeth, “Why is that so damn hard to imagine.”
