Chapter 2. Memories

"So how have you been?" Madison asked with such curiosity. "I'm great!" Sara said with excitement. "How's your mom and dad?" "They died just last year." "Oh Sara, I'm so sorry I had no idea." "It's okay." Sara said with a hint of sadness in her voice. "What happened?" "They were killed in a car accident." "I'm so sorry." "Hey, no big deal." Sara said trying to lighten the mood. 'On an island in the sun' Sara's phone sang. "Oops, sorry I've got to take this. Hello, oh, Dr. Little, really we'll be right there." she said with interest. "What's up?" Madison asked curiously. "Some boaters found unidentified remains just off the Virginia shore." "Okay, let's go." "Alright, Maddie can you spring I'm broke?" "Not a problem." "Thank you." Sara said gratefully. Madison and Sara started walking toward Madison's car when Madison started laughing. "What's so funny?" Sara asked. "I can't believe you still have that ringtone!" Madison said through a laugh. "What its my favorite song." Sara, you've had that ringtone since you first heard it college." she said still laughing. "Shut up Maddie."

Back at the lab. "Alright, what do we have here Nigel?" "Female, approximately 23 years of age." "Okay, it looks like she might have been struck in the back of the head with a heavy instrument." "I found some wood particles embedded in the skull." "Alright, give those to Simpson and let me know when you find cause of death." "Will do Dr. Bradley." "Thank you." Dr. Jack Collins comes in and sees Sara walking to her office. "Hey Madison?" "Yeah Jack what's up?" "Who's that?" Collins' asks pointing at Sara. "That's Dr. Sara Bradley our new intern, why?" "No reason just psychologist curiosity." "Okay, see ya later." "Sara" Collins' whispers to himself. "Hey, Dr. Bradley I don't believe we've met, I'm Dr. Collins the FBI psychologist." he said walking after Sara. "Nice to meet you Dr. Collins I'm Dr. Sara Bradley." "Dr. Bradley don't take this the wrong way, but would you mind coming to my office in ten minutes." "Alright, ten minutes."

'Knock, Knock, Knock'  "Come in. Sara please sit." "Thank you, Dr. Collins." "First, how was your childhood?" "Traumatic." "Really how?" "When I was four years old my mother left me with an abusive, alcoholic father that beat and raped me every year on my birthday for five years till I was ten years old when Child Services sent me to live with the Bradley couple. When I was twelve years old the Bradleys took me to England so Mr. Bradley could guard the queen and her family. When I was thirteen we moved back to D.C and they had me committed to the D.C Psychiatric Hospital till I was seventeen years old then I was let out and I started high school." "What was that like, your high school career?" "Not too bad, but the other students treated me like I was crazy, but there was this guy who didn't treat me differently, he treated me like a person his name was Jack. One time he got his nose broken defending me from football players who were laughing at me. He was actually kind of cute in a non-jock way." "When's the last time you spoke to him?" "Oh god, the last day of school, senior year." "Interesting, thank you Dr. Bradley for your time." "Your welcome Dr. Collins." she said walking out the door.

"Hey Madison, can you do something for me on your computer?" Sara asked walking into Madison's office. "Yeah, what?" "I want you to go into my old high school yearbook and find someone for me." "Okay, here it is." "I want you to scroll through the senior photos." "Okay." "Wait, there he is Jack Collins, can you find hi address, phone number, work place, etc.?" "Sure why?" "I want to find him." "Alright, it might take a while to get all the information." "Okay, let me know when you have it." "Right away."
