[IC] Looking at the past- between Espatier and Aisling

[Espatier]

" Sounds like I have a snowball's chance in that hell.. " Lance spoke " But I'll try a different way then. Maybe through that Sunday dinner" his shrugged his shoulders " maybe the police are on the take as well, or at least favorites of them"

[Aisling]

"Some of the police are of the Sullivan family. 5 Males and 2 females to be exact. The main house has the eldest male who is Roger and his wife Millicent. Two of their sons and families - Brad has 8, 4 each and Steven with 7, 3 males and 4 females- are there as well. Two cousins work for the main house as ranch hands. All total, 6 adults and 8 children with the elder having a fifth baby.
Roger and Millicent have 7 children, 4 males, 3 females. Total of 49 grandchildren.
Brother Rodney only has 5 children, 4 males and a female. 17 grandchildren. Brother Timothy has 6- 3 each and 25 grandchildren. Brother Charles has 7 children- 5 males and 2 females. 48 grandchildren. Of course the original Sullivan are in the nursing home but are at the Sunday dinner as well. His name is Daniel. From what I read he is a mean sucker and still sharp at the ripe age of 87. Knows each person of the family and details of each one.

If I have all the people of that family added up correctly, 180 people more or less. And Daniel knows each and everyone by name, age, family and rank. " Linda shook her head in a helpless matter.

[Espatier]

" Ideas to get into the house so I can set up some "bugs" maybe?" voiced Lance

[Aisling]

"With that many people about? I rather doubt it unless you happen to have some kind of car trouble. It would be rather complicated mess if you want my opinion. It seems hopeless to invade that family."" Linda sighed as she picked at her food.

[Espatier]

"what about those two that are serving time... think that they would talk?" he asked " that is a longtime to be alone in prison unless you get anything that you want inside...for Matt and dan as well. Even thou Dan got only ten years. He got away with murder."

[Espatier]

"come to think of it... " Lance put down his fork " in that corner's report.. they didn't do dental did they?. They just I.D.ed a body with a frat ring, right?" Lance asked. I think that they only identified the body by a ring and if your really rich and murder is running rampant, then I think that you can arrange that too, don't you think?. Kelly wasn't found was see?. Some say that she walked into a lake... no body, no....." Lance stopped " She could be hiding a delicate little flower like that would do time nor survive... I bet you anything that she is daddy's little girl and the old man cleaned this mess up himself.

[Aisling]

"And it has only been 5 and a half years...... Dan Rogers might be out on parole since he got 10 years but Matt is serving hard time if I remember correctly. And he might not even get out in 25 years since he was the head of Gaul Fraternity. The newspapers were not allowed to print exactly how many others died from his commands for various initiations........ I can't remember if he got life without probation but that is coming to my mind.

The Preston family is another avenue. But they left and I don't know where to. It would have been Kevin's child as well as Florence's. The Kennedys keep the baby well hidden and under guard at all times if they have it. Unless the Preston's have the baby. Or Florence could simply be dead and the baby too. I suppose there are other possibilities......"

[Espatier]

" I believe in Texas that you have to do 80-85% of your sentence because it was a violent crime so with that we should cacth him inside prison instead of outside on parolle but then again... I've seen "mistakes" made and people get out early". Lance explained " Lets work the Preston angle and see if you can find out without people figuring out that we are digging around a bit, you know?"

[Aisling]

"I can check the court records with ease. I will check on the Preston family and see what I can come up with. I can check with the Kennedys as well. I know that they have a child which they are protecting but is it the grandchild or an adopted child? I came came across that little tidbit today." Linda announced as she finished her meal. She leaned back in deep thought.

[Espatier]

"Well I guess after dinner that I'll stay up for a bit, then sleep later, but don't worry I'll be up and ready to drive" he smiled " I hope to get at least 500 miles in a day"

[Aisling]

"You do have a point about the dental. The body was only IDed with the frat ring. The body was badly burned. But it was a male. So could Florence walk off and disappear? If she did walk off, where could she go? The rich can cover any problems with very little trouble....... Too many possibities to ponder. I have to eliminate a few of them." Linda spoke slowly as she spoke out her thoughts.

[Espatier]

Getting on the road wasn't bad for lance. He was a early riser and got his business in the morning done mostly outside the R.V. to allow Linda to sleep. After brushing his teeth outside and using the outdoor "privy" at the camp he return to wake Linda up with a knock at the door till she replied to let him know that she was awake. Lance waited outside so that she could have her privacy in the still morning.

Using a lawn chair he sat right now outside the R.V. door until he could hear her love around and knew that she was dress properly.

[Aisling]

Linda woke up and petted the small bundle that just happened to be asleep beside her. She laid there for a bit before getting up and dressing. She was soon in the kitchen and getting a bowl for cereal for breakfast.

[Espatier]

When lance could hear her move around, he stepped back inside to start up the R.V. and say "good morning"

[Aisling]

"Good morning, Lance. I am going to have some cereal then get to work to see what I can find out about the two in jail." Linda spoke.

[Espatier]

"With the satellite connection you'll still be able to get the work or do I need to wait before we get on the road?" he asked

[Aisling]

"I can work while you drive as long as you don't get into an accident. The first thing is to see where Dan and Matt are currently. That won't take very long if you want to visit them next. I'll head into the study to start. I can eat as I look." Linda spoke as she poured milk on her cereal.

[Espatier]

Lance went to make sure all the connections when disconnected, then checked out of the P.V. park before getting on the road.

[Aisling]

Linda was busy searching for both Dan and Matt and it was not long before she found them. It was in a private penitentiary. It was run by a secret group of people. They take young offenders in and rehabilitate to be of some sort of use to society. These rehabilitators are very strict and the inmates were on merit and demerit system. Every tiny bit of luxury item had to be earned the hard way. Their cell was a 7 foot by 6 foot room with windows that was remote controlled. The door has a window that can only be open on the outside. It was also sound proof. All of their belongings were stored in a special cabinet that has remote controlled doors as well. Video cameras were on at all times. The inmates were given the bare necessities= a twin bed, toilet, sink and a chair. I blanket, 1 pillow, 1 set of sheets. No tv or video games or books unless they are earned. A monitor tv is behind a thick plexiglass.

When the inmate is reformed, he or she is allowed a larger room and more privacy but is not allowed to leave the building. If the inmate ever did manage to get out into the third program, they are considered rehabilitated. But yet they must prove beyond a shadow of a doubt that they are rehabilitated. This last program allows the inmate to live in a simulated town situation. he is given a job and a small home.

Matt never got out of level 1 but Dan was in level 3 and could be allowed to have visitation. Matt could have supervised visitation if he was on the merit side which was rare......... Linda was pleased to find this info out and took the address down,

"Lance I found them both! About 150 miles south of El Paso! They are in a private prison. Here is the address. What do you think?"

[Espatier]

"Excellent job, good work." Lance smiled as they motored across the states. " Yeah, lets check these two guys out and go from that point" Lance waited for instruction to which way the wheel was to turn.
