A Shadow Of Doubt

A Steele Problem

Anastasia
I can't shake this neurologist and him wanting answers when I don't have them at all. I gave him blood and told him that was the last blood work he was getting and if he doesn't leave me alone I will file a restraining order against him. I have told him all I know. He wanted to talk to dad, but dad refused to talk to him at all.

They are digging Carla up to test her remains. I know they won't find anything at all, because they found her too late to find the toxins in her blood or body. I couldn't find Carla in time to give her the antidote. Anastasia was missing for eight hours and she only had sixteen hours before she past the point of no return. Anastasia is being harassed by the guy who got Carla exhumed and found nothing. We will never reveal anything to this doctor.
Flashback

The call I got asking me to check into a person and what they had to do with the death of a loved one. We took the case and soon afterward we kept getting death threats telling us to stop investigating them. We started getting followed and Anastasia was now carrying her guns and wearing a vest. Carla started crying to me about getting death threats if she didn't get us to stop our investigations on a certain person.
End of Flashback
That was two weeks prior to both Carla and Anastasia came up missing.
I was listening to the ambulance and police runs and they found Anastasia first thank God and I was able to get into see her in time to reverse the effects of the toxins with the antidote shots. I was given the shots and told I had a choice to make, but I was only able to find Anastasia. Carla being Carla wasn't where she should have been. Three days after given the shots they found her body and car in another state. I was contacted by the morgue. Anastasia went with me to bring the body back to Seattle for burial. I know Carla loved her parents and wanted to be buried by them, so I made it happen. Anastasia and I got rid of all the files on the person once we were able to. What we did was documented everything we had and found a way that if anything happens to either of us it will point to this person and how. Luckily I kept the antidote that we didn't get to Carla in time. I had it tested by a very trusted independent company and they gave me the results. I grabbed a blood sample from Anastasia before I gave her the shot. So we know what they gave her that caused everything. Now I know what she was given and what to give her to counteract it.

I watch and see that they burned a bunch of files and threw the ashes in a dumpster. I wait until they leave and check the dumpster for anything at all. The Steele's definitely know how to burn things up. The fuel they used smelled different that regular gas, it smelled like diesel fuel, Which burns hotter and faster. I could find anything but ash and hard plastic in the garbage bags. Food was mixed inside it as well. So by the time I was done digging I needed a bath and new clothing.

I made sure that we made a show of burning everything and then added food from the fridge mixed in just for good measure. Anastasia and I laughed as we set the cctv cameras on the dumpster areas where we threw all the burned items with our old rotted food amongst. We went home and sat and waited for our alerts to go off around the dumpsters. We have very good photos of the guy taking everything and putting it in his BMW. We laughed as the bags tore and he had to pick it all up. He was filthy by the time he drove away, the cops nearly caught him. But he saw their lights and he left the area very carefully. So they didn't notice his car as it left the lot.

I think that should be enough for them to know we don't have anything on them now. But we need to inform the customer we can't risk our lives for a case and they killed Carla. So we refunded the money they paid us as a retainer. Dad took the job, so this guy never met me because I usually am out doing the undercover work. Most people don't think I am a PI. Whoever grabbed me locked my guns and vest up along with my purse and keys in my car. I still don't know where my friend is at this point. I am starting to think he had something to do with my being grabbed and drugged with the toxin. I know he needed money badly. But the guy we are dealing with might have killed him after he helped grab me. Unless he was the guy we were really after.

I can't believe this happened and they filed a restraining order against me to stop me trying to get to the truth. The blood work is diminishing every time I run the tests. I wished she had been kept longer. I tried to file a cdc report, but my friend stopped me from doing it. He said if you like being a doctor I suggest strongly you don't file a false cdc report to quarantine one patient who we both know wasn't a public health risk. I told him that it might not be, but whoever used the toxins knew they were dangerous to and could kill the person quickly. Now I want to know how she survived the toxins and seemed backed to normal after her father found her alive and alone. Suddenly after he shows up she suddenly becomes healthy and speaking and moving.
