Our Sick Inheritance (editing)

Ch 72 (kyle) - Family Troubles

Kyle pulled into the parking lot of the Department and carried his bag up to second floor of the building waving to friends as he walked without stopping to talk to anyone. Snow was thick and cold so many were indoors to stay warm with the exception of a few kids making giant snowmen with their parents.

Before stopping at his office, he had to meet Aaron, a lab tech friend of his. Aaron quickly explained to him what the lab found on the dragonfly pin. There was a confirmation of three people. Two were females and one male. He didn't have anyone to compare it to yet as he knew it was going to match up with Anna but there wasn't a DNA record of Colin or Tessa on any database that he had access to. He knew he had to contact Colorado to check into Tessa's records. He just had to have the facts confirmed and documented.

Opening the door to their private office Kyle stepped inside the hushed tones of potential echoes. Jose sluggishly sauntered to Kyle which almost made Kyle bust up laughing because he knew why Jose was up all night. Not wanting to take away excitement from his glory, Kyle waved and waited until Jose spoke first.

"I have the most beautiful granddaughter ever born." Jose stated smiling big. Kyle couldn't help but be affected by his good mood and outstanding pride so he gave Jose a huge hug with a big pat on the back while congratulating him.

Everyone in the office gathered to discuss what was going on and shared information. There were congratulations all around because Jose's daughter in law Sophia had her baby, so everyone in his family was up all night.

"I have to leave early today. I have a meeting with Nikki Date's parents but I wanted to be here first this morning in case there is more information to take down with me." Chief nodded and thanked Jose.

Everyone at the table then turned to Kyle because by the seriousness of Kyle's expressions they knew he was waiting to talk. So everyone quieted down including the Chief as he pointed to Kyle.

"Well, I have a very interesting story. I have an odd situation with the Jolene case that is now personally affecting my home." Kyle said briefly looking up to see everyone was focused.

"The girl that Jolene Parker slapped at the bar Friday night is Colleen Annalina Fairfield, 'Anna' for short. The girl she was impersonating is Harmony Falk. Though Harmony is the pictured model, Anna is the Dragonfly Princess that owns the online web magazine Dragonfly Designs and the wedding section of the magazine which Ryan and Jolene often visited. Anna is the person Ryan actually met at the bar Friday night when he thought he was meeting her best friend Harmony." Kyle said not allowing for responses.

"I know this because both girls went to my kids' school. It was my daughter Stacy that gave me all of the information she knew on both girls. Both Anna and Harmony went to a party that my kids went to at a local friends on Saturday night, and as you know this is a small section of the suburbs where everyone knows everyone at least through someone. My daughter Stacy also competes against Harmony in fashion competitions. Anna is Harmony's backing. Anna had covered a bruise she had on her face with makeup, according to both my son and daughter."

Kyle gave everyone a piece of paper with Anna's and Harmony's history. Everyone looked at him like he was crazy, but listened intently at the information he provided, except for Jose.

"How crazy could it be? Talk about a small world." Jose said.

"It gets worse." Kyle replied.

"Anna is following my son Jake on his trip." Kyle said, but held up his hand for that could just be circumstantial. "I'm not sure if Anna is following Jake exactly but she is on the same path he is and they have spent time together. Jake doesn't know much about this case so I don't know how much danger he is in." Kyle said looking at the shocked and confused looks of his colleagues.
