Gabby climbed into the driver's side of the truck quickly, seeing he baby being spoken to by that man had really shaken her up. She looked up into the mirror to see Jamie looking at her with a worried expression.
"Mum are you ok?" he asked, his cheeks still pink from being out in the cold weather.
"I, I errr, Hunny i'm fine. What happened?" she asked trying to sound like she had her emotions under control.
"He just walked up to me and said that he was here to take me home. He also said that you had sent him to pick me up. The one thing that really sacred me was that he knew the nickname that you and dad call Me." He answered; his voice wasn't shaking at all.
"He called you 'Monkey'?" Gabby shouted angrily. "I'm gunna-"
"Mum. Don't." Jamie interrupted before she could say something that she regretted later on. "Why don't you just tell Jessica, wasn't she meant to be coming over today anyway?"
Jess and Elizabeth were meant to be coming over today, she realised.
"I will give her a call she said that she would be coming at five." She stated as she pulled away from the school.
"Mum it's quarter to five. She may be there when we get back." He sounded exited to see her.
Jamie was right; she was there when they got home. Jessica was standing opposite Matt in the kitchen, a little girl standing by her side. Jamie ran into the room and Casey reached down and picked him up before he ran into him.
"Hey, slow down little man!" he chuckled as he lifted him into the air.
"So this is the famous Jamie that I have heard so many wonderful things about!" Jessica complimented as Jamie turned round and smiled at her.
He slowly lowered his gaze down to the girl that was standing at the detective's side. "Libby?" he said quietly.
The girl lifted her eyes from the floor and stared in disbelief at the young boy in his father's arms. Jess, Matt and Gabby all looked at each other and didn't quite know what to say. Casey lowered Jamie onto the floor and he immediately began to walk slowly towards her. When he finally reached her he stood in front of her and gave a shy smile. "It's so good to see you...well after everything you went through..."
Gabby walked over to Matt and wrapped her arms around his stomach and rested her head against his chest as they both watched their son talk to the little girl that was still traumatised after seeing what she saw just a few weeks previous.
"I'm gunna leave you to get more accounted." Jess said to Libby as she began to walk towards the door.
"I will show you out." Gabby suggested as she let go of Matt and followed the detective to the door.
"It looks like they knew each other." Jess stated as she exhaled, her hands on her hips. "She's in a good home now."
"Thanks. Any luck on finding her family?" Gabby asked.
"We have begun, I mean I have Rufus and Corden looking into it but we haven't made much progress. Most of our resources are on looking for the guy who did this in the first place." Jess admitted.
"I totally get it." Gabby paused as she remembered previously that day. "Oh, I mean to mention to you that earlier when I was picking Jamie up from school there was a man with him. We both had no idea who he was but Jamie said that he said he was there to pick him up from school. He then said to me that he knew everything about me: who I was; what I was and that I was the one saved Libby, I don't know what it was, but he creeped me out."
