Scarlett and Brad were having a romantic day on the Sunset Beach. They were lying on blanket watching the pelicans fly in the sky. Pelicans are exceptionally large birds with exceptionally long bills characterized by the downcurved hook at the end of the upper mandible, and attachment of a hug gular pouch to the lower. The lower bill and flexible tongue muscles form the pouch into a basket for catching fish, and sometimes rainwater. They have a long neck and short stout legs with large, fully webbed feet. The wings are long and broad shaped for soaring and gliding flight. Scarlett enjoyed watching the pelicans soar in flight. They would catch large fish with the bill-tip, then tosses them up into the air to be caught and eaten. Scarlett thought it was amazing to see the birds find the fish while soaring in flight. Fly down into the water and catch them. She wondered how a bird could see the fish from so far in the air. They sit for hours on the beach watching the pelicans run over the water while beating their big wings and pounding the surface of the water with both feet in unison to get enough speed to takeoff. It was amazing to watch the pelicans throw back their heads back open their beaks and swallow the fish whole. The telephone rang it was Colonel Andrews. A baby was missing, and Scarlett would have to return to work.
Scarlett went to the supermarket and requested to review the video footage of the parking lot. On the footage a blue van was seen, driving by the shopping. After the van left Steve was no longer in the shopping cart he had been abducted. From the review of the footage the tag number could not be seen. Scarlett was walking outside of the supermarket into the park lot at the location of the abduction. She had a déjà vu experience. Although people interpret déjà vu in a paranormal context, mainstream scientific approaches reject the explanation of déjà vu as precognition or prophecy. Rather, they explain it as the feeling that one has lived through the present situation before. Despite the keen sense of recollection, the time, place, and practical context of the previous experience are uncertain or believed to be impossible. The parking lot was no longer a parking lot it was a wooded area. Scarlett saw a man taking a baby to a alter to worship God. After worshiping God. The man gathered wood and placed it on the alter. Then the baby boy was laid on top of the wood and tied to the alter. The baby was going to be used as a sacrifice to God. Sacrifice is an act of slaughtering an animal or person or surrendering a possession as an offering to God or to a divine or supernatural figure. The man was standing over the baby with a dagger. The Scarlett was left wondering if the boy was going to be sacrificed or circumcised.
Scarlett took the video footage from the supermarket to the crime lab for analysis. The van was identified as a 1972 Ford Econoline van. The crime lab enlarged the image of the van on a monitor. On the bumper of the van was a sticker “Tiny Treasures Milk Bank.” Scarlett researched the name “Tiny Treasures Milk Bank.” which is a place to donate Breast Milk. Breast milk is something only a mother can do. It is a generous gift that can truly have influence in the lives of fragile infants who are in the NICU.Steve was abducted not Jan. What was the connection? Was Steve abducted by the “Tiny Treasures Milk Bank” for research? Was Steve being sacrificed, circumcised, or used for research?
Scarlett walked into her office and had a déjà vu experience. Scarlett was walking along the bank of a river, and she saw an ark among the rushes. She waded into the water and recovered the ark. When she opened the ark a three-month-old baby boy was inside crying. Scarlett turned to her sister and stated, “Go and find a woman that she may nurse the baby.” Her sister returned with a woman to nurse the baby. The woman took the baby and nursed it. After the baby grew, he was returned to the Scarlett and became her son. Scarlett had no idea what all the déjà vu experience meant. Scarlett knew it was for a reason. To help her find Steve.
Scarlett returned home off duty. She had planned as night with the family, her husband Brad, daughters Katie, and Allison. Family Night was set aside once a week to have pizza and watch a movie with the children. It was a special night for the family. The children loved pizza and they chose “Chicken Run” as the movie to watch. The film tells a tale of a close-knit community of chickens “imprisoned” on a farm in England. Ginger, the leader of the hens, attempts to escape times, but she is caught. Rocky, a charming rooster who appears to know how to fly, drops onto the farm. He stays and teaches the chickens to fly. The chickens all work together to get themselves off the farm. All the chickens show their love for each other by working together. The children loved the movie. Scarlett and Brad told the girls how they were blessed to have them.
After the movie was over the children went to bed. Brad and Scarlett sit and talked for hours about how the girls meant to them. Remembering the night, they were born. They reminisced about the first time the children walked, first word, first day of school, the memories of the children filled Scarlett and Brad with happiness. A happiness that could lonely be experienced by parents. As the night hours passed Scarlett became sleepy. She went into bedroom and looked at the dream catcher that Ms. Daisy had given her. It was still on the wall above her bed. Scarlett went to sleep and began to dream.
Scarlett dreamed of walking through the woods and seeing a man with a baby boy at the alter praying. The man waked around a gathered wood to build a fire on the alter. Steve was tied to the alter with rope. The man had a dagger in his hand. He held the dagger over his head. Scarlett heard Steve crying. She stood there speechless and could not move. The man started to kill Steve. Suddenly a messenger from God stops him before the sacrifice finishes, saying “Now I know you fear God.” The man looks up and sees a ram and sacrifices it instead of Steve. Scarlett woke up with tears running down her face. Her heart was pounding. She was afraid. Scarlett immediately walked into the girl’s bedroom to make sure they were all right. Scarlett was afraid to go back to sleep that night. She stayed in the bedroom with the girls until sunrise. She then went into the kitchen and cooked breakfast for Brad and the girls. It was rare for Scarlett to cook breakfast for the family on a weekday. They usually had cereal for breakfast with a glass of juice. Scarlett called Jan and requested for her to come to the station for an interview.
Sketch artists often work as freelancers for police departments. Scarlett had no understanding of what was going on. The Chief questioned her about it. Scarlett requested that Jan be brought in for questioning. Something was wrong and she had to figure it out. Scarlett needed a moment to get her thoughts together to determine how to manage the investigation. She walked into her Office and had a déjà vu experience. Scarlett was walking in the storage room of the supermarket. In a special freeze she saw a man placing packages of breast milk in the freezer. Then she hides in the corner of the room. I man walks in and requested to purchase the breast milk. The appearance of the man indicated that he was a bodybuilder. The man purchased the breast milk and left the supermarket. Scarlett suddenly was standing in her office. She began conducting research. Breast milk is packed full of vitamins and minerals vital for a baby’s growth and development and it is not just babies who are reaping the benefits, but male athletes too. Male athletes are turning to breast milk as an alternative to energy drinks. bodybuilders claim breast milk helps build muscle mass more than any other food. On the illegal market the price for breast milk ranges from under $1to $2 per ounce. Scarlett had suddenly put the pieces together. The Milk Bank was selling Black Market Breast Milk in the supermarket.
Scarlett would be working late tonight and would miss the girl’s beauty pageant. She called and informed Brad she was sorry but would not be able to attend the pageant. Leads were developing in the case, and she had to finish the investigation. Brad knew the girls would be devastated. Scarlett was planning to help them get dressed and fixing their girls. Scarlett called her sister Faith and she agreed to step in and help the girls. Faith also made sure that the pageant was recorded, and Scarlett could watch it later with the girls. Faith was always willing to lend a helping hand. Faith was unable to have children and the girls were a treasure to her. Brad reassured Scarlett that everything would be all right. They could make a special night for the girls while watching the pageant at home. They could invite all the family over to see the pageant that was not able to attend.
Scarlett called Jan and requested for her to come to the station for an interview.Scarlett talked to the Colonel Andrews and told him about her suspicions of the Supermarket running an underground breast milk shop out the storage room. Colonel Andrews looked at Scarlett and started shaking his head. He thought Scarlett was pulling a joke on him. Scarlett was serious and wanted him to go the Supermarket and check out her suspicion. Colonel Andrews worked out in the gym every day and had a fit body. He had the muscles of a weight trainer. Colonel Andrews agreed to check out the Supermarket. She walked into the back door and asked to purchase special milk Jimmy sent me. Jimmy was one of guys at the gym that worked out all the time. The man instructed him to come over to freezer and get the milk. He paid for the breast milk and left. Andrews called Scarlett and told her the results of the investigation.
Scarlett’s suspicion of the Underground Breast Milk was correct. But how did all of it connect to the kidnapping of Steve? Scarlett was faced with unanswered questions. The Attorney for Jill, Mr. Cooperman, entered the police station and requested to meet with his client. Mr. Cooperman and Jill were provided a room to meet in. After the meeting was over Jill agreed to talk to Scarlett with her attorney present. Scarlett began the questioning by asking, “Does the delivery van deliver to the supermarket?” Jill responded, “The van delivers supplies needed for women that at breast feeding their babies.” Scarlett asked, “Who was driving the van on the day Steve was kidnapped?” Jill responded, “I don’t know.” Scarlett asked, “What can you tell me about the kidnapping of Steve.” Jill then responded, “He was not kidnapped.” Scarlett asked her to please explain her answer.
Jill responded, “Steve was not kidnapped. His father had picked him up at the supermarket. Steve was diagnosed with a kidney disease and was only given 6 months to live. His mother would not allow him to be placed in an experimental research hospital that could cure him. Joe arranged with Jan to pick up Steve for the weekend. Steve was then flown to the hospital to receive treatment. When Jan found out Steve was in the hospital, she reported him as being kidnapped. Jan was supposed to notify the police that Steve was fine and receiving treatment. Any parent would have done the same thing to save the life of their child.” Scarlett did not know what to say. She knew Jill was correct she would have done the same thing to save her child. Scarlett asked, “Where is the hospital?” Jill responded “It is on a secluded island. She didn’t know where it is located.” Scarlett asked Jill, “What is your involvement in the Black-Market Breast Milk being sold at the Supermarket.” Jill responded, “I have no involvement in it.” Scarlett began to wonder why she would not talk to her with an attorney present. If she was telling the truth she had nothing to hide. Scarlett felt there was more than what was being said. Jill requested to be released from jail and all charges against her dropped. Scarlett wanted Jill to stay at the station until the investigation was completed. She still had to interview Jan.
Scarlett walked into the interview room to question Jan. Scarlett asked Jan, “Do you know where Steve is?” Jan responded, “Steve was kidnapped.” Scarlett then questioned, “Have you heard from Steve or where he is at?” Jan responded, “No.” Scarlett then showed her the police sketch of the man on her porch and asked, “Can you identify him?” Jan responded, “That is Steve’s father.” Scarlett received a telephone call from Colonel Andrews, “Two children were missing, and she needed to report to the location.” She discontinued the interview with Jan.
Scarlett was walking outside to her car and had a déjà vu experience. He was walking in a hospital filled with small children. The children were five years old and under. The hospital was filled with hundreds of children. babies were recovering a drug addiction, had terminal illness. Scarlett’s heart was broken by the site of all the children. She walked outside the hospital and saw a sign that read, “World Alliance Medical Training Center.” The center was in the middle of an island. The hospital was filled with children of all nationalities. In a small building outside the center was a Tiny Treasures adoption agency. Scarlett suddenly realized she was walking to her car.
