Chapter 9

Un(Revealed)

"Any progress in the investigation?" Ales asked the detective. He had come to their house after Alex called him to inform that he had talked to his daughter. He was sitting in the rolling chair in front of the couch where Jo and Alex were sitting, taking notes on his notepad and it was taking everything in Jo for her not to snap at him because of the looks he was giving her.

"I am afraid not Mr. Karev. We are doing everything we can but we I am afraid we are reaching a dead end." He answered him.

"What do you mean by that?" Jo asked the detective feeling a wave of horror rush through her body and reaching for Alex' hand "You can be done with everything... it's too soon"

"The fingerprints we found on the plate were only your daughter's. There isn't any strange fingerprints in the objects we took from here, just yours and Camilla's mostly, we found partial fingerprints in some of them but they were so small and fading that we were unable to even test them." He said looking at both Alex and Jo with apologetic eyes.

"But you are not giving up, are you?" Alex ask fearing the detective's answer, "You cannot call it off" he said.

"I will not give up. Not until we find your daughter and we will find her" he assured them with a small smile. "We have been talking to the daycare workers. Speaking of which we have the testimony of the new girl that started working there yesterday, Mia Roberts, do you know her?"

"No." Jo said widening her eyes in surprise, "I mean... I don't think we do, do we?" she said turning her head to look at Alex for his confirmation.

"I met her yesterday. She is doing an internship at Camilla's class." Alex answered them.

"How come I didn't see her?" she asked raising her eyebrows in confusion "Was she there when-"

"According to Miss Roberts, you two did meet yesterday too," the detective told her with an accusing smile tugging at the corner of his lips "but we will go there in a minute. When did you received a call from your daughter?" he asked them leaving Jo with a confuse look on her face from his previous statement.

"A little after four..." he responded the detective, narrowing his eyes in confusion as Jo. They watched as the detecting continued to write in is notepad "Have you looked at the daycare's security tapes yet?" He asked after a little pause

"We had a little problem with the tapes from the daycare" Brilliant! That is just great. Alex thought, rubbing his face with his hands. Jo seemed to be stopped in time, looking in the detective's direction but not looking at him nor paying any attention to what he and Alex were saying to each other. She seemed lost in her thoughts. Alex squeezed her hand to bring her back to reality and it worked, she looked at him and gave him a tiny smile "But we will have the hospital ones by Monday morning." The detective said.

"Why? Why do you need those for?" Jo asked and Morgan gave her a 'because I know you are lying' look, which made Jo roll her eyes at him

"Just a standard procedure. We need to verify everything." He said and went back to write down on his little notepad "Where were you when the called was received?" he asked them. Alex looked at Jo before answering the detective's question.

"I was here at home..." he started "Alone."

"Okay. What about you Ms Wilson?"

"It's Karev too. Why do you insist on calling me by my single name!?"She asked him back "Never mind, forget I asked. I don't know where I was exactly at that time. I was just wandering around for most of the day." She said and the detective wrote it "Do you think it will be possible to trace the call?" she spoke up making the detective take his eyes from his hand and bring them to hers.
