The Awakening

Preparing for the Rescue Pt. 4

Preparing for the Rescue Pt. 4

Aug 23, 2024

The man then goes to his car to wait for the police, still in shock. Detective Jones and Detective James arrived on the scene about 30 minutes later, walking up to one of the police officers. "What did you find?" Detective Jones asked. "Well, the gentleman over there said he was on his way to work when he saw a car crashed into the wall. He proceeded to get out of his car and that's when he discovered this woman's dead body," one of the officers says while they walk towards the woman's car. "Do we know the cause of death?" Detective James asked.

"From the looks of it, it seems that she was intoxicated and crashed the car, but I won't know until I do a full autopsy," the police officer added. "Ok well let's secure the scene," detective jones said. Detective James walked around to the passenger side of the car and started going through the scattered items. He picked up the ID he found and his eyes widened, "Jones!!!" he yelled. Jones ran over to where he was, "What.. What is it?" detective Jones asked. "The dead woman is the woman we have been searching for," detective James says as he hands over the ID.

Detective Jones took the ID and looked it over. "This could possibly be ruled as a suicide, considering she probably felt she had no where to run and would rather end it all than be arrested or killed," Jones replied. "You're probably right, but we won't know if this is her until the autopsy report comes out," James said. Both detectives headed back to the precinct after looking over all the evidence, speaking to the witness, and checked the area out for any suspicious activity or cameras. Once they both got back to their desk, they jumped head first into their investigation. Detective James and Detective Jones went through the evidence, witness statements, photos from the crime scene from Harrington's office and under the tunnel.

They both were looking to see if they missed anything as both cases are linked to each other. "The autopsy results are out," the police coroner said. They both rushed over to the morgue, both on the edge of their seats. When they arrived, they immediately started asking questions. "Is this Sarah Jenkins?" Detective James asked. "What happened to her?" Detective Jones asked. "Were there any signs of foul play?" They both asked. "Now breathe, before you both pass out," the coroner said laughing. "What I found is that she died way before the car crash from alcohol poisoning," the coroner added. "I was able to verify her identity through fingerprinting, dental records, and blood type," "okay is she Sarah Jenkins?" Detective James asked.

"Yes.... but something is off," the coroner said. "What's the issue?" Detective Jones asked. "So all the markers point to her being Sarah Jenkins, but her face looks completely different and the height is a little off by an inch and a half," the coroner told the detectives. "Maybe she changed her face to make sure she didn't get caught," detective James says. "Yes that's true, but her face has no indications that she has undergone any plastic surgery." "Hmm, that's very strange," Jones said while stroking his beard. "I'm going to look into it further and if I figure out something I will call you," the coroner replied. "Okay then, don't forget to call us if something comes up," James said, as he and Detective Jones left. "These cases are starting to become weirder and weirder," Jones says, as they get in the car and James nods in agreement. As soon as they were about to pull out of the parking lot, a call came over their radios about another body found. They both looked at each other in confusion as detective Jones pulled out of the parking lot.

Director Birmingham woke up, got dressed, and headed over towards the safe house. When he got there Sarah was making breakfast and setting up the table for everyone. "Good Morning Director Birmingham, Sarah said, as she finished up making breakfast. "Good Morning ma'am do you happen to have enough for this old man to eat?" He asked. "Oh yes we have plenty, why don't you go sit down and I'll set a spot for you at the table," Sarah replied. The director went to sit down in the living room next to Jack, as he waited for breakfast to be ready. "Good morning Jack, who is the lady in the kitchen? You don't want to be giving out this location if you don't want to be found," the director said assertively.

"What lady in the kitchen?" Jack asked. "The one making the breakfast," Birmingham said. Jack walked over to the kitchen and laughed deeply, "That's Sarah director Birmingham," Jack said laughing and pointing towards the kitchen. "Sarah!?" Birmingham said shockingly. "Yes, Ashley the facial reconstruction specialist, was able to use some substance to change her face and features," Jack said. "Hmm, she did a good job. I didn't even recognize her," Birmingham said while laughing. Both Johnson and Ashley joined them a few seconds later. "Good Morning," both of them shouted. "Who is she?" Director Birmingham asked Jack. "Oh, this is Ashley Evans, she is the facial reconstruction specialist I was telling you about," Jack said, while gesturing for Ashley to come over to him. "And Ashley, this Director Birmingham," he added.

"Nice to meet you," Ashley said, as she shook his hand. "Your work is very good, I didn't even recognize Sarah," he laughed. "Thank you sir, I appreciate the compliment and I'm glad to be of assistance," Ashley said with a smile. "Breakfast is ready," Sarah yelled. "Oooooo wonderful I'm starving," Johnson said, as he rubbed his stomach. They all sat down at the table, while Sarah brought a buffet of food, and everyone stared in amazement at the plethora of food she placed down in front of them. "This all looks wonderful," Birmingham stated. "If everything tastes as good as it looks, we are definitely in for a treat," Johnson said, smiling while rubbing his hands together.

"Oh trust me everything is going to taste amazing, just you wait," Jack said with a smile. "Have you tasted Sarah's cooking before?" Ashley asked. "Yes she cooked breakfast for me after she stayed at my house, and it was delicious," Jack said smiling and looking at Sarah. "She's been to your house!!?"Ashley exclaimed. "I've never even been to your house or know where you live," she added. Jack laughed, "Sarah ended up at my house because of this current situation and she asked for my help so I had her come over," Jack said matter of factly. Ashley caught on to Jack's gaze and saw him smiling at Sarah and she felt uneasy, as she always wanted Jack for a very long time, but just never got the chance to express her feelings.

"Hmm okay, I see," Ashley said while looking down at her plate. "Okay guys I hope you enjoy everything that I made, you guys can dig in now," Sarah said with a smile before sitting down and making her own plate. Sarah made a huge breakfast spread of eggs, bacon, sausages, biscuits and gravy, hash browns, fruit platter, French toast, waffles, pancakes, toast, coffee, juices, and plenty of other dishes. Everyone started to dig in, "Omg this food is amazing," Ashley said while enjoying her food. "Yea Sarah this tastes delicious," Johnson said, seconding Ashley's statement. "If I would have known you could cook like this Sarah, I would have definitely asked for you to come and cook for me sooner," the director laughed. "You are definitely a jack of all trades, " director Birmingham said.

"See I told you it was going to be delicious," Jack added. Sarah started blushing, "come on guys everything isn't all that great," she said trying not to blush harder. "Girl you're crazy this is a 5-star service right here," Ashley said laughing. "Thank you Ashley for that, and thank you for helping me out in this situation as well," Sarah said with a bright smile, trying to not cry. They all had small talk while they enjoyed their food. "So what happened yesterday, Birmingham asked while wiping his mouth with a napkin.

The energy in the room quickly shifted. "Well when I first started following Amanda I believed that it was pointless, as she just seemed like a normal government employee," Jack stated. "However after about 1 to 2 hours she received a phone call and she immediately started speaking Russian," he added. "And that made my senses heighten immediately. As soon as she got that phone call she checked out the store and headed to this abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of town. When she got there she just paced back and forth and mumbled words to herself," Jack said, while everyone listened intently to what he was saying. "I thought it was a trap and she had caught onto me, but then she walked out of the building and headed down a weird narrow path that then led to another abandoned building that has been overgrown by shrubbery," Jack says. "She went inside and I heard a few words like Mike, oil, and home but I didn't hear anything else," he added.
