Chapter 28: Lost Souls
Sam dropped the phone from his hand and simply looked at the picture of the
once happy couple starring him back in the face. "Alright Greg I am on my way."
He called Pillar and informed her of Greg's findings in Castleton. Pillar, Theresa, and Miguel were saddened by the findings, but were not giving up hope that the bodies were not Sheridan and Luis.
Back in Paris, Sheridan and Luis were comfortably asleep in their bedroom. Sheridan woke up as the sun streamed through the curtains and hit her face. She looked at Luis who was sleeping peacefully. She got up out of bed and went into the kitchen to make some breakfast. Luis woke up and turned to grab Sheridan, but she wasn't there.
"Sheridan where are you?" Luis asked. "I am in the kitchen sweetie." Luis got out of bed and walked into the kitchen. He wrapped his arms around Sheridan's waist from behind and kissed her cheek.
"How are you feeling this morning?" "I am fine Luis, stop worrying about me."
"I know, but I worry about you and the baby." "Luis, maybe we should contact Pillar and the rest of the family." "Sheridan we already had this discussion. We don't want anyone to know we are here because too many people want to keep us apart. Like your father and
brother Julian. Don't you remember the car explosion? I could have been killed!" "I know Luis but your family is probably extremely worried about you and Ethan is worried about me too. We have to tell them that we are all right." "I know Sheridan, but not now. Soon we will go back to Harmony and we will see everyone. Don't worry Sheridan everything is going to be fine."
Sam parked his patrol car on the beach in Castleton. He dreaded having to look at the bodies. What if they really were Sheridan and Luis? What would he do? He walked over to join officer Greg Hampton who was talking to some other policemen. "Greg can we identify the bodies?" "Sam these two people have been unidentifiable because there faces have been slashed several times. We think it may be Luis and Sheridan because the
woman has blond hair and and the man is the same built as Luis. The two individuals appear to have the same build as Luis and Sheridan."
"Let me look at the bodies." Sam followed Greg as he walked over to two black body bags. He unzipped the first body bag and Sam was horrified at the sight. The first person he saw was the woman he guessed because of the blond hair. It bared similarities to
Sheridan Crane but he was not certain." After looking at both bodies, Sam asked
"Is there any other evidence to help us identify the bodies." "None that we are aware of. Except for the fact that we found some luggage and clothes' in the victims' car."
"You found a car?" "Yes, it appears to be the victims' car. There is blood smeared all over the wheel and on the seats. We are having the blood analysed. We should know the
results in a couple of hours Sam." "Thanks Greg, you have been a real help."
Sam called Pillar and told her the news. As family and friends gathered at the Lopez-Fitzgerald residence, they all awaited the results together. Hoping that the tests would reveal that the bodies did not belong to Sheridan Crane and Luis Lopez-Fitzgerald.
Hours later the phone rang loudly in the Lopez-Fitzgerald residence. Pilar ran to the phone and answered it. "Hello Lopez-Fitzgerald residence." "Hello Mrs. Fitzgerald this is Donnie Summerton from the DNA labs. We have the DNA results of the blood found at the scene of the crime in Castleton. We are calling to tell you the results of our findings.
Pillar looked at her children and then answered "So Mr. Summerton what did you find? Does the blood belong to my son Luis and Sheridan Crane?"
