Friends Forever?

Chapter 18

"What have we got here Claire," I ask as I make my way to the lake. "Seems like the victim is male, early 20's, Caucasian." She's the FBI's top coroner around this region. I write the information in my note pad. "Any guess on time of death?" I ask. "According to the blow fly larvae that I found near the body I estimate time of death around a week," Jim says.

Jim is our entomologist. "If he's been dead a week why is he so you know without muscles and Organs?" "Well since he's been submerged the decomposition rate is a lot faster," Claire says. I nod as I look at the body. "Any belongings on him?" I ask.

"I found this," Jim says as he hands me a wallet. I grabbed it with a handkerchief and looked at it. "Well all the information is watered down." I sigh. "Any other way we can ID him?" I ask as I put the wallet inside an evidence bag. "Well his fingerprints are gone and his teeth are missing so I guess we will have to wait until we give Chloe the skull so she could give us a facial reconstruction," Claire says.

I nod. "Ok then let's get him back to lab so you guys can start with what you guys do best." They all laugh. "Yes Killian." I go to my office and I look up any missing persons report on any 20-year-old men. Sadly nothing came up. I sighed.

I looked up in other databases and nothing came up. Well that's odd. Sadly his description is so general it would take months for me to ID him. I guess I have to wait for the facial reconstruction. I decide to go home and just wait till I get the results from my lab techs.

Emma's POV
Angela walks down and I had already prepared food for her and for Killian in case he got home. Angela sees the food and her eyes lit up. "Oh how can I ever repay you." I smile. "By eating" I say and she smiles.

"So I didn't catch your name," she says as she sits down. "Emma Jones." She gasps. "No way, that's my last name too." I gasp. "My name is Angela Jones as is my brother's, Liam Jones." I gasp. "That's cool." I say I sit down. That's when I hear the door open. Killian walks in and looks confused.

"Killian this is Angela Jones." He nods. "Angela this is my husband Killian Jones of the FBI." She gasps. "FBI?" She questions. Killian is staring at her in a weird way, I take a good look at them and I don't know but they look similar to me. Especially the eye and hair color. I ignore it and she smiles. "I was just thanking your wife here for helping me out, I seriously had no where to go too."

He nods and smiles. "Emma can I have a word in private." He takes me by the hand and pulls me into the closet. "Love why did you let this stranger in our house, she could have hurt you and our child," he says as he caresses my belly. I smile.

"I know but I didn't have the heart to turn her away, I mean when I opened the door she was all bloody and bruised up and she was crying" I say. He smiles and gives me a kiss. "Oh my wife sure has a big heart." I smile. "Can we help her in any way she said she was in an accident and she lost her brother well she can't find him and she's alone." He sighs.

"I don't know Love." I sigh. "Well she lost her mother the same way you did." He gasps. "She did?" I nod. "Ok let's see what I can do," he says and we walk out. "So I heard you that your brother is missing," Killian says to Angela. She nods as Killian and I sit by her. She looks at Killian and can't turn away.

"Do I know you from somewhere?" She asks Killian. Killian looked baffled. "I don't think so miss." She smiles. "Oh sorry, Well I've been looking for my brother for days and that's the reason why I'm all bruised up, I was driving and I flipped over," she says and looks down.

"If you don't mind I'm going to ask you basic questions about you and your brother." Angela nods. "Names?" "Angela and Liam Jones." He then writes it down. "Ok how old are you guys?" She nods. "Well he's my twin and we both turned 20 a few weeks ago." Killian nods. "When was the last time you saw Liam?"  She sighs.

"Well we aren't from here, we are from Hyperion Heights a city about two hours from here." Killian nods. "The last time I saw him was about two weeks ago, he said he had to come here to pick something up and well he never came back." I gasp. Killian writes it down then looks back up at Angela. "Why didn't you file a missing persons report?"

She looked down and sighed, "my brother hasn't always been a good boy, he was involved with the wrong type of people and that would always get him into trouble so yeah." Killian nods. "Ok I will investigate this personally," Killian says. "Thank you so much," Angela says. I smile.

"It's getting late; I should get going," she says. "Where will you be staying?" I ask. "I'll figure out where," she says as she gets up. "We have a guest room here," I say and Killian smiles. "Emma honey we don't even know if she would like to stay with us." She nods, "I would be more than happy to sleep here at least for one night."

"Then one night it is," I say and I escort her to the guest room and she smiles at me. "Thank you so much." I smile and closed the door. I walk downstairs and I see Killian really baffled. "What's wrong love?" I ask as I sit down next to him and start to caress the back side of his head.

"It's just the body we found today sort of matches the descriptions of Angela's brother, I mean the body can look like Angela." I gasp. "Oh no." He nods. "Well it's not for sure but we will find out sooner or later," Killian says as he takes a deep breath. He then smiles. "So how's our little Aqua doing in there?" He asks as he caresses my belly.

I smile. "She's good," I say. He smiles, "have I told you how gorgeous you look?" I smiled, "no you never tell me these things." He smiles and kisses me. "I hope we are able to help that poor girl out," I say as I lean against him. He nods and sighs, "I hope so too."
