Chapter 116 Talk with Dillon

After Rory and the kids were in the bed, Logan, Mitchum, and Josh retired to the office. After the door is closed, Logan begins to tell them that Dillon called him at the office today. "Let me get him on the phone. I don't want to leave anything out." Logan called Dillon and put it on speaker. "Dillon, I have Dad and Josh here, tell them what you told me." Okay. We located Melissa. She is in Italy. She is not really smart. She left a paper trail. The FBI has a warrant for her arrest. They questioned a woman named. Teresa Kirkland. We have enough evidence to arrest her and her husband, Tony. It seems that the couple was hired by Melissa to poison the twins. Right now they are trying to determine if it was both or just the husband. It seems that Tony is a pilot that worked for Billy. He is the one that flew Melissa to Italy. It is just like someone suggested. She posed as a flight attendant on one of his charters. The wife suspected Tony was sleeping with Melissa. She went to his office to find proof." Dillon said. "Nanny cameras are going to revolutionize the investigation world. No one is safe from them." Logan said laughing.

Dillon continued."She found paperwork about the flight to Italy. She did not know what she had, it just looked important to him so she made a copy of it. She went back the next day and set up a nanny cam. She recorded a one-sided conversation. She had the proof she needed. He was having an affair with Mellisa '''' ISo she turned him in?" Mitchum asked. "No, Melissa was using a credit card in her name. That led us to Teresa. After talking with her, Myself and Ryan both were sure she knew more than she was telling so we put a tail on her. We also had the FBI run her name through the system. She is on probation, supervised in Tampa. Hanna contacted her probation officer, She has not reported in 2 years. SHe only has a year left on her probation. Her probation officer said he would be noticed if she went to jail. Other than that she is non-violent. He had too much on his plate to worry about a string of misdemeanors. We advised him that she is in Jacksonville. He told us he did not have the resources, so Jacksonville state probation agreed to take over the case. When that became official, she was notified that she needed to report. When she didn't, We went with the probation officer to search her home."

"Laying on the kitchen table was the information about the flight to Italy. She claims not to know anything about it. She told us that Tony left this morning to go to work. She said he left all of the paperwork laying out on the table. She didn't know what it was so she didn't want to mess with it until he came back. Because she is on probation, we asked her to come into the police station to answer some more questions. She told us she couldn't. She didn't have a babysitter. We agreed to let her call someone to watch the kids, and then she could be escorted to the police station. We told her if she refused, we would call DFCS to come to get the kids and she would be arrested for probation violation. She agreed to come to talk with us. She showed us the footage. She thought she was proving that she didn't do anything, but record her husband admitting an affair. The recording clearly is proof that Tony has been involved in poisoning Ricky. She is being held. He is still flying a charter on the West Coast."

"Does any of this mean the boys are not endangered anymore?" Mitchum asked. "No," Dillon said. But we are narrowing it down. Unless Melissa hooks up with someone with a lot of money, I don't think we have to worry about her coming back to the United States. The best case will be to arrest Melissa. But when we get Tony, that will chop off one of the resources. All I can do now is keep working on it." Dillon said. "Thanks, Dillon, Do you need me to send more help your way? Mitchum asked. "Not right now. I'll check in with you Monday unless I have something worth reporting."

When Logan hung up the phone, he looked at his dad. "What do I tell Rory?" "I think you should tell her everything. I think she needs to know how important it is to be vigilant." Mitchum said. "I don't see a problem until after the 4th. We will stay here until we go to Martha's Vineyard. After that, we have the boys' 5th birthday. There will be a party. Baby Em is due shortly after the party. That is when things are going to get difficult." Logan said.

Mitchum patted him on the back. "Son, you are not in this alone. We will figure something out....I'm headed to bed. Are we still going to play golf tomorrow?" Logan nodded, "when the girls leave for Hartford we will take the boys." Logan said. After Mitchum left, Logan turned to Josh. "What do you think? Should we go play golf or should I go to Hartford with the girls?" Logan asked Josh. "They will be fine. Just make sure you have security. Honor has everything planned. I will talk with my security team. Tell them we need extra patrol during the shower" Josh said. Logan nodded. "I guess I am going to bed. If Rory is still up, I'm gonna tell her." Logan said

When Logan got out of the shower, Rory was up peeing. "Hey, did I wake you?" he asked. "No, Baby Em did." She said As she was walking out of the bathroom. She grabbed her robe and was headed out the door. "Hey, where are you going?" "Baby Em is hungry." Logan laughed. "Well, when you get back I need to talk to you. I talked to Dillon today." Rory nodded as she left the room.
