The Emo Girl And The Nerd

Digging Too Deep

I walked through the door and instantly spotted one of my dad's close friends, Sargent Rick Heller.
"Hey stranger." He says when he sees me.
"Hey." I say hugging him.
"What's up? Why are you here?" He asks knowing I'm here for a reason.
"Well... I was wondering what you know about Brandon Caldwell.." I say wringing my hands nervously.
"Your brother..?" He asks.
"Yeah." I say.
"What do you want to know?" He asks.
"Any files you have on him." I say.
"I'm sorry, I can't show those to you." Rick says.
"He's my brother, I want to know about him." I say.
"Jordyn, he's dead." Rick says.
"Please, I just found out that I had a twin, how would you feel if you found out something like that?" I ask him.
He sighs and looks me in the eyes.
"I just need to see them." I say.
"Jordyn, this case has been cold for sixteen years." Rick says.
"He's not dead." I say.
"What?" Rick asks confused.
I explain everything about my mom, Brandon, and how I figured out about him.
"So your brother isn't dead?" Rick asks.
"No, he's not, and I'm trying to find him." I say.
Rick opens his mouth to say something but my phone starts ringing.
"Just a minute." I say walking out of earshot.
I pick up the phone and look at the caller ID.
Tyler.
"Hey." I say answering the phone.
"Where are you?" Tyler asks concerned.
"I promise I'm ok, I got a lead on Brandon, I'll be back soon." I say hanging up the phone.
I walk back to Rick and sigh.
"All I need to know is who kidnapped him." I say.
"We don't know." Rick sighs.
"Just let me see the files." I say.
Rick sighs and turns to a metal file cabinet.
After a few minutes he hands me a file.
"This is a copy, so take it home and when you're done with it return it." Rick says sternly.
"Thank you." I say smiling.
"You're welcome kid." Rick says.
"Bye." I say before turning around and leaving.
I drive back to Tyler's place and run inside.
"What the hell Jordyn?! Where were you?!" Holly asks when I walk in.
"The police station." I say holding up the file.
"You got a file on Brandon?" Tyler asks.
"Yes." I say sitting on the couch.
I open it and start reading.
So far it was just stuff I already knew.
But then I came across something.
'The kidnapper was believed to be Linda Baker, who couldn't have children of her own so she kidnapped Brandon from the hospital.
The police searched for her for months but never found her.
Linda Baker.
It showed a picture of her.
She was probably mid twenties, black hair, five foot five, about a hundred and thirty pounds.
The description matched perfectly.
So I grabbed my computer and searched her.
Linda Baker.
I found an article on here and read it.
'Linda Baker was believed to be the kidnapper of new born, Brandon Caldwell in 1998.
She couldn't have children of her own so she kidnapped Brandon.
The police searched for months but never found her.
Her only living relative was her niece, Cari Baker.
Cari was only three years old when both her parents died in a tragic car accident, and lived in a foster home after Linda was proved an unfit guardian.'
Cari Baker.
If I could find her maybe she could help me.
So I searched her but before I could read anything Tyler closes my laptop.
"Hey!" I protest.
"You're pushing yourself to hard." Tyler insists.
"No, I have a lead." I say.
"Jordyn, you're tired." Tyler says looking in my eyes.
He was right.
I was exhausted.
But I couldn't give up.
"Just give me fifteen more minutes." I plead.
"Fine, but after that you need to sleep." Tyler says.
"Thanks." I say opening my laptop again.
Tyler looks over my shoulder and frowns.
"Who's Cari Baker?" He asks.
"Linda Baker's niece." I reply.
"Ok... Who's Linda Baker..?" Tyler asks.
"Believed to be Brandon's kidnapper." I say.
"So you found something." He says.
"Yeah." I say focusing on my laptop.
"There's something." Tyler says pointing to something on the screen.
It was an article about Cari.
I read it out loud.
"Cari Baker was only three years old when her parents both died in a car crash.
Her aunt Linda Baker, who was later convicted of kidnapping a baby from a hospital, was proved as an unfit guardian for Cari, so Cari was sent to a foster home where she was cared for properly.
She now lives on her own in Augusta Maine..." I say.
"I guess 'I'm going to Maine." I say turning to Tyler.
"You're crazy!" He says.
"I know, but I need to." I say.
"And what if you don't get answers?" Tyler asks.
"Then I keep looking." I say simply.
Tyler nods his head in understanding.
"I'll go with you." Tyler says.
"Really?" I ask smiling.
"Yeah, of course." Tyler says kissing my forehead.
"Thank you." I say smiling.
"You deserve answers." He says.
I nod my head and close my eyes.
"I just hope she can help." I sigh.
Tyler nods his head and kisses my hair.
"Just be careful Jordyn, you've already been hurt enough, I don't want you to get hurt again." Tyler says.
"I'll be careful, but I just need answers, all my life I've had a brother out there somewhere that I never knew about, and now I have the chance to find him." I say.
"I know, and you deserve to find him." Tyler says.
"Thanks." I say kissing him.
"Now you need to get to bed." Tyler says in a stern voice.
"Ok ok I'm going." I say laughing.

"Stop!" I squeal.
"Never." Adria says evily.
"Stop it!" I scream.
Adria and Tyler laugh as they continue tickling me.
Now don't ask me how Adria got me on the couch and started tickling me but she did and so Tyler decided to join in. 
Yeah I have a great boyfriend.
"Stop! You told me to go to bed!" I say to Tyler.
He sighs and stops tickling me along with Adria.
"I'm going to bed." I say crawling under the blankets.
"Good night Jordy." Adria says kissing my cheek.
Yepp Jordy.
That's her nickname for me.
"Night cutie." I say smiling at her as she goes to her room leaving me and Tyler.
"You look tired." Tyler comments.
"Yeah, I am." I admit.
"Well get some sleep." He says kissing my forehead.
"Night Tyler." I say smiling.
"Night Angel." Tyler says before turning off the light and leaving the room.
