Chapter 3

She arrives in her car at the FBI headquarters. She gets out and heads to the back seat picking up her baby. Heidi was sitting in her car seat bubbling happily.

Holly slams the car door with Heidi on her hip and walks into the reception.

She sees a female receptionist. "Hello my name is Sally, how may I help you today?

Holly smiles at her. "My name is Holly, I'm looking for Hilary Johnson. Holly the receptionist types into the computer. "Hilary Johnson's office is on the 3rd floor." Sally points in the direction of the lifts. "Have a nice day!" Holly thanks her and heads for the lift.

She presses the button to call the lift and a few mins later the lift doors open. Holly presses the 3rd floor button still holding Heidi. She looks at Heidi "Your a big lump aren't you? Why can't you stop getting heavy and growing?". The baby babbles in reply. Holly grins and kisses her.

The doors open to the 11th floor. She spots another receptionist. A small stocky man. She walks to him. "Hello my name is Ted. He points to his badge. "How may I help you today?".

She smiles at him but he doesn't smile back. "I'm looking for Hilary Johnson's office."

He sighs "Take the right corridor and turn right again,don't stop till you reach the end of the corridor and you'll see her office."

She thanks him but hesitates for a moment. "Would you like a map?". Obviously he wants rid of her.. She smiles sweetly."No thanks." She heads down the right corridor next to the desk turns right and walks straight down the corridor.

Finally she makes it to an office with a black door with a small square window and underneath in a plaque says Hilary Johnson
Special Agent
Head of Federal Bureau of Investigation.

Holly knocks on the door. A woman shouts "Come in." Holly enters.
The Woman with long blonde hair turns around "Yes?".

Holly clears her throat."I'm Holly Carling." She holds her hand out for the other woman to take it. The woman shakes her hand. "I see, I'm Hilary Johnson please take a seat." Holly shuts the door. T

The woman gestures at the seat in front of her. Holly takes a seat but Heidi is desperate to get down and crawl around. She sighs and let's Heidi down.

"Now regarding to What we spoke about on the phone.. You said your mother is missing?"
Holly nods "Yes I've tried contacting her but she isn't answering she's usually back by now".

"I see.. Perhaps you should tell me what happened from the beginning."
Hilary leans forward onto her elbows holding her hands together waiting for Holly to tell her story.

Holly sighs "Well it's quite simple really.. I arrived home as usual with my shopping expecting to see my mum. And as I was putting the shopping way Heidi pulled open a cupboard that should've been locked."

Hilary coughs "Please continue."

Holly nods "A bunch of paper work fell out and I found a copy of my birth certificate."
She takes the birth certificate out and places it on the desk. "I compared it to the one my mother gave me and I noticed both were different."

Hilary frowns. "How So?".

Holly takes out the birth certificate her mother gave her and put both of them side by side. "Look one of them says this Mr Samwell character is my father but the other says father unknown." Holly points at both certificates.

"I see.. What makes you think your mother is missing? You don't think she's with him do you?".

Holly nods "It's possible.. It all makes sense now.. The last few months we've been getting calls from a man and my mother claimed its the wrong number."

Hilary shrugged and leaned back on her chair. "Could it possibly be from the wrong number."

Holly shakes her head. "I doubt it, it has to be him they all came from the same number".

Hilary sighs "Perhaps that's a friend of hers?".
Holly shakes her head and starts looking through her bag for a piece of paper.

She finds one. "Can I borrow a pen?" Hilary nods and passes her one from her drawer.
Holly puts the paper on the desk and writes:
Mr Samwell
0161 298761
She pushes the paper towards her. "That's the number that's been calling... I'm 100% sure I'm right."

Hilary sighs and picks up her phone. "Hi Sally, can I have a number check please?".
"Of course Hilary anything for you."
Hilary grins "Telephone number 0161 298761, possibly named Samwell."

"Alright one moment I'll just check that for you."
Hilary puts the phone on her breast. "She's just checking it now."
Holly nods and looks at Heidi crawling around in circles. She chuckles silently.

"Hello?"
Hilary gets the phone off her breast quickly. "Sorry Sally you were saying?".

"The phone number you requested does indeed belong to a Mr Samwell."

Hilary sighs "Thanks Sally."
"Not a problem, Anything else you need me to do?".
Hilary smiles "Not for the moment but I'll call if I need anything." Hilary hangs up.
She looks at Holly "It seems you were right but that still doesn't mean she's with him."

Holly leans forward and begs her. "If I give you her number will you please do a trace?".
Hilary sighs "Alright what's her number?."
Hilary grabs the piece of paper from before and writes:
Mum
07973 290946

Holly pushes the paper to her and Hilary picks up the phone. "Hi Sally sorry to bother you again, could you do a trace on this phone number please?"

"Of course Hilary, the phone number please?"
Hilary smiles "The number belongs to Adele Carling, phone number 07973 290946."

"One moment please." Music plays through the phone and Hilary sighs she hated being put on hold at home.

"Hilary I've got a trace.. She's in Manchester town centre heading for Alexandra Park."

"Thanks Sally."

"No problem". Hilary hangs up. She looks at Holly. "She's heading for Alexandra park."

Holly frowns "Thats a strange meeting place." Holly sighs "please come with me, get a team or something, I have no idea who this guy is."

Hilary sighs "Its impossible, We simply do not have enough resources to do surveillance and half my agents are off today."

Holly growls in frustration "What if this guy is a criminal?"
Hilary smiles "You don't know that."

Holly shrugs "So what crime is meant to stop is it because you don't have enough resources?!"

Hilary smiles faintly "I'm sorry there's nothing I can do."

Holly sighs "Can you watch the baby whilst I go and see what's going on?"

Hilary gasps "This is not a crèche! Find someone else to look after her."

Holly sighs "There is no one else I can turn to. Please!!...."

Hilary sighs "Alright a few hours no more than that."
Holly hugs her and runs out the room.
