Chapter 15
“Good to have you both back in Chicago. How was your stay there?” Lt. Banks asked. However before either Selena or Mike could respond, Lt. Banks continued, “Hope it was good. Can you guys believe it? Lindsey Cyrus is coming back in town…”
“You alright sir?” Mike asked noticing that he barely took a breath since they got back in Chicago.
Sighing and taking a seat behind his desk in his office, Lt. Banks responded, “Just stressing, I guess. I have so much on my mind. Im ready to close this case.”
Selena and Mike agreed.
Selena asked, “Do the Cyrus’s know that we have gotten in contact with Lindsey?”
“No, not yet. Only because we need to talk to her first.” Lt. Banks replied.
“What about the media?” Mike asked.
“Well, she is supposed to be in disguise so hopefully it will work and nothing will get leaked out to the press.”
“Anything new with Taylor Lowry and Carrie Swift?” Selena asked.
“No. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Only thing we concluded is that Lowry and Swift are now dating. Other than that – nothing. I really don’t think these kids are involved.” Lt. Banks answered.
“That sucks.” Mike stated quietly.
At that moment, Lt. Banks’ desk phone rang. “Lieutenant Banks.” He answered the call. There was a long pause as he listened on the phone. He then said, “Great!” and ended the call. Mike and Selena waited with anticipation to hear what the Lieutenant was going to say. Lt. Banks continued, “They said that they are only a couple of mile away from the station.”
“What the hell is Lindsey Cyrus doing way down there in San Antonio, Texas?” Mike asked confused.
“Who knows.” Lt. Banks answered. Getting up from his chair, he continued, “Well, let’s go get ready to head to the interrogating room. You guys have work to do.”

Lindsey Cyrus sat at the head of the table in the interrogating room with Selena to her left side and Mike to her right side. Lindsey kept her head down and looked disheveled. Her face was read and puffy as if she had cried a river. Both Selena and Mike just sat there and looked at her for a moment. Then Selena spoke first. “Hi Lindsey. Welcome home.” She paused.
Lindsey didn't respond.
She kept her head down. Selena continued calmly, “I can tell that you must be miserably tired and upset about a lot of things after the turmoil you have been thru…”
“I just want to see my parents and go home,” Lindsey said very softly while keeping her head down.
“I understand…but before we can do that, we have to find out what has been going on. We need you to talk to us, and if you say someone is trying to kill you, we need to protect you.” Selena replied in a soothing and calm voice.
Lindsey lifted her head and looked up at Selena. “But he is! He wants me dead!” she shouted.
“Okay, okay. Slow down Lindsey. We need you to start from the beginning.” Selena said placing her hand over Lindsey’s hand as it rested on the table.
Lindsey allowed two streams of tears to flow down her face as she bewilderedly stared at Selena.
At that moment, Mike interrupted their conversation with a firm tone. “Yes, Lindsey. Let’s start out from the beginning. I mean, how do we know that you really are, who you say you are?”
Lindsey looked at Mike with a confused expression.
“Listen, the Lindsey Cyrus that we are looking for, is a red haired girl with blue eyes and she’s 18 years old…you have black hair.” Mike continued as he sat back in his chair staring at her dark hair. He was testing her to see how mentally stable she was.
Lindsey dropped her head back down looking at her hands on the table. Two more teardrops fell from her face onto the table. Her voice trembled as she spoke softly. “It’s me, detective. It really is this time. I never meant…I…I dyed my hair a couple of weeks ago, but it was only because he wanted me to. He said I had to because it was in the plan. I thought he loved me, but now he’s trying to kill me!” Lindsey hesitated at first and then finished in a pleading tone as she wiped her tears away.
“Who, Lindsey? Who are you talking about? Who is he?” Selena asked calmly.
Lindsey didn’t respond. It was as if she was afraid to mention the name.
“It’s okay, Lindsey, you can tell us. We need to know…who is after you?”
Lindsey slowly looked up at Selena and responded in a soft voice. “Joe. Joe Carter.”
