Jackie's Notes: Summary of The Emily case file as put together by Jackie Crosby of NYCSS on June 6th, 2002. Emily had always been special, and personally I've grown more fond of her than I have of any other child I've been assigned to. She was found as a baby, and kept in the orphanage until she clocked two when she was given into the care of a childless couple, George and Tina Cormack. Frequent visit showed that they took care of and loved her as their own, until they had their own child, and poor Emily began to feel side casted. Noticing this, we moved her over to another couple, Adrian and Nina Johnson, who had three kids of their own. After a while, we discovered that Emily grew unhappy each day, but yet she wouldn't talk about it. She'd become secretive. We decided to move her again, and this was her will. Roland and Esther Davis were her next foster parents, and they had a daughter about Emilys age, so she was excited that she had a playmate. But frequent visits proved tha

Chapter Twelve

Lilian and Joseph were still not back.Some free time to my self.There was nothing to do than to lay down on the couch and think. About the usual things; my parents.I'll give anything for them to find me.The next day Lorenzo wasn't in school again, and neither was his car or driver.This made me realize that I really enjoyed his company, and that I knew nothing about him.Or him about me, but I wouldn't dwell on that.I'm sure he had major concerns with home and stuff.I just hope he's OK.And today, I was back to starving for the day.At least Joseph and Lilian didn't lay a hand on me today. They slept in and didn't wake up until I left.Maybe that was a sign of good things to come.I pray so.NYCSS_HQ (New York City Social Services)The receptionist was openly flirting. I could see that. And she was way older than me, maybe 26 or so. She was pretty though, I'll give her that.She made a slow seductive smile."Mrs William is busy now, but she'll see you in a few minutes...." she l

She raised an eyebrow. "Yes, but you should talk to my partner, Jackie Crosby, she's in charge ...""I know, but I want to talk to you."Then she smiled suddenly."Does your parents know you're here?"Wait, was she insinuating that I was too young or..."Pardon?"She waved me off with her hand."That wasn't funny, you know?""Yes, I just love making dry jokes," she said and laughed at herself.Yep, dry joke indeed.But I had no time to waste."I'm a friend of Emily," I said, and I wondered why I did. Emily and I were just mates. "And although she refuses to talk about it, I know she's being maltreated. The other day, I found a hand imprint on her cheek, and she was evasive on the subject. She's hungry a lot, hassled most times..." I sighed.Iness leaned closer. "I've been suspecting that for a time now. But I don't have evidence.""And that's what I'm here for. I'm proposing we work together. Emily doesn't want to talk, but we could dig up info. The pointers are there, you just aren't

Chapter Fourteen

Two_Days_Later.Iness William and I have been working tirelessly, trying to provide evidence against the Bushs.And personally, I was planning for it to be a big case.Those human devils were going to pay big time for all the pains they caused her.This sudden need to protect her...to stand up for her was overwhelming.Maybe I did like her.I sighed as I leaned back o. my bed.For two days now I haven't seen Emily..Because I haven't had the time to go to school. Instead, I always sent Festus to check on her for me.I checked the watch on my wrist. It was almost noon. Festus should be back soon.There was a knock on my door.I got up and walked barefoot to open it.Festus walked in. signore Good afternoon sir."Bene (well)?"He smiled."As usual. Swell.""OK."Taking that as his cue to leave, he turned around, but paused."She asked of you. Twice.""And?"He shrugged. "Busy.""OK."He shook his head at me in frustration while I shrugged and reached for my phone.What, 52 missed calls.

Chapter Fifteen

I've never thought I'll be back here, at NYCSS.But we were.The previous three days had been hell for me, especially when I discovered that my case was reopened, and being worked on.Iness and Jackie, they were so persuasive that I had finally opened up everything, especially when they showed me a recording from a camera which they had hidden somewhere at home.Lilian and Joseph were going to be prosecuted, but I refused it.I didn't want to go through another drama, now that the first was ended.I still couldn't believe it...I'm free.I smiled at Iness and Jackie, and threw my arms around them one more time."Thanks so much!!" I said for the umpteenth time.I decided to work as a junior staff in the SS, while dedicating my time to finding my parents.But those three days of my greatest joy had a downside to it.I haven't seen Lorenzo, and even Festus stopped coming.It really weighed me down, especially as he was the only one who had started the slow process of uncovering the real me

Chapter Sixteen

New_YorkHickory, dickory dock...The mouse ran up the clock..I nodded excitedly at the children to repeat what I'd just said, while I demonstrated by using a stuffed mouse to climb on the grandfather clock in the room.The kids giggled and imitated me, singing a much off version with their mouths wide open and showing incomplete teeth or missing incisors.They looked so cute.It was fun working with them, teaching them and playing with them. They made a dull day bright, although I hardly had dull days ever since I left the Bushs.With a smile, I reached into a coloured basket, grabbed a handful of sweets, and threw them upward, allowing them to litter the floor for any lucky kid to have."Alright fellas, may the fastest kid win," I said over their noises, and slipped out before any of them could notice that I was gone..I got to my quarter, which was a bedroom way better than the one I had in Linda's house, closed the door, and took off my shirt.Then I reached into the cupboard an

Chapter Seventeen

I sat at the dinning, dejected, as I picked on my food.Deep in thought.I didn't notice Joseph come in from the kitchen, or sit down at the table, until he tapped me.''You're not eating. ""I'm not hungry."Joseph sighed, and lifted a spoon of chicken soup to my lips."I said no!" I yelled. Can't you see were doomed? Since Emily left, we've been experiencing financial problems. And... I wrapped an arm around my stomach and sobbed. Joseph I lost him. He would have been a nice little boy with my looks and your height. Sometimes I think the miscarriage was Emily's fault!""Lilian don't relieve it," Joseph said and wrapped his hands around her shoulder.How could he tell his wife that perhaps, the two miscarriages were the result of their maltreatment of Emily.I was listening to Christy Lane's "One More Chance."The song was old, but I loved the lyrics.🎵Maybe I didn't treat you...🎵Quite as good, as I should have...🎵Maybe I didn't love you...🎵Quite as good, as I should have...?

Wendy....how many times do I have to tell you, knock before you open.""I'm sorry, I heard you singing Always on my Mind, and I really like to hear you sing. You've got a nice voice."She plopped on the bed beside me with a grin."Arrgh..Wendy....""Please sing...""Fine, but I'm singing the second solo."🎵Maybe I didn't hold you...🎵Quite as good as I should have..🎵And I guess I've never told you...---"Wait, up Emily, see!" she pointed."Ugh! I'm not singing anymore! See what?She pointed at the TV.I took the second earpiece from my ear and sat up to watch the TV.And here's on Announcement.Peter and Mary Sheridan, wealthy patriarchs, are announcing a heap of reward for anyone who can find their daughter, missing for eighteen years now.Attached to the screen is her childhood photo, and a sketch of what she'll look like now.The name is Emily Sheridan.If you have an information, dial the number below the screen to set up an appointment.This is Katie Current, keeping you curre

Chapter Ninteen

I bubbled with excitement, refusing to be put down by Iness's sad gaze and Wendy's as I sat in her office."I saw the news too, Emily," she said, "But I'm not sure...""Iness..." I whined."Emily, wait. I'm not sure, because I don't want you to experience what you had in--""Iness....""Wait. In the hands of the others. So, we'll do a background check, give them a call, and organize a DNA test."I huffed out air through my mouth and sunk in my seat."Seriously?" I turned to Wendy, who nodded her agreement."I think Mrs Iness is right. And it doesn't hurt...."If that is what it took, then I'll go for it. I'll do anything to be with my parents again. And a DNA would be just an extra proof.But I was shaking inside me.What if...by some evil manipulation... the test proved negative?.Iness put the phone down and linked her long fingers together on her plain oak table."I've put the call through. They're on their way."Somehow I wasn't so excited.If indeed they were my parents, and the

Chapter Twenty

Some_Minutes_LaterEmilyAnxiously biting my nails, I tugged on my skirt and smoothed my hair once again for the tenth time.Then a staff came to call me.As I got into the office, both people turned to face me, and the woman broke into a smile.She was not so thin, and not so tall. Brown hair, like mine. Rounded eyes, and a straight nose bridge.The man was quite tall, and his nose was more like mine, he had dark eyes too.Humph, can't believe I'm checking for comparison, similar features."Uh...hello," I started, feeling awkward.How do you meet your parents?"Oh my baby..." the woman whispered and rushed over to me with outstretched arms, engulfing me in a tight hug that had my nose filled with nothing but her strong perfume.But still, I hugged her back.Maybe that would make me seem too clingy or desperate... but I don't care."My baby...," she whispered again, releasing me and holding my hands in hers to look at me with a teary smile.I smiled too.The man came too, and took me
