Interlude: Mystery&Court

It was a very stressful time in Station House 4. Detective George Crabtree who replaced Detective Murdoch since he got promoted finally to Inspector after their boss's Brackenreid,  retired,   been trying to deal with the "Case of Carly Swanson.   Crabtree can find nothing useful to the case everything seems to be in a dead end.  Crabtree got called into the office and Murdoch told him that other people were breathing down his neck "No wonder Brackenreid didn't like the higher-ups."  Crabtree replied "I know I have tried but we never found a body, dead or alive, we didn't find any willing witnesses most of the four witnesses not counting John's wife,  aren't talking."  Murdoch said "You can try to find something..maybe you should see if finger prints from the glass match the finger prints of other cases in any of the towns?"   Crabtree picked up one of their fingerprint records and then one similarity from a failed back robbery in the  mid 1800s. When a Darcy Grant tried to rob a bank but accidentally killed his ex-girlfriend instead.










Constable Nelson was on the desk in the early hours of the morning she got a call about that Carly Swanson was at home finally after seven years.  She informed Detective Crabtree about the update and Crabtree informed Murdoch and Murdoch suggested that  Nelson and Camboll should go to the Swansons' to ask Carly to come in so they could hear her story.   When the two constables got their they find Carly in a crouched positioned.  They waited until she calmed down and then asked her to come in when she felt ready.   Carly did so and  meet Crabtree who said "I been working on your case so what happened during the last seven years?"  Carly told him everything about what happened.   Crabtree told Constable Brackenreid to go to the Grants' and arrest Darcy Grant and also take Constable Daar with him.    
















A week later the case is in the court. Carly was the first person the stand.  Darcy's lawyer  asked questions about her experience in Darcy's house.   She then said everything but also asked this "I want to ask  for the judge to grant House arrest to Mr. Grant.  The children already lost a Nanny the closet thing to a parent they had, but they shouldn't suffer the loss of a parent, even if the parent would be in prison."  Then Zoe Patel was on the stand "she saw someone of Darcy's height  leaving with a woman  in a blue wheelchair the night when Carly disappeared.   When the lawyer said "are you sure that who you saw was Darcy?"  Zoe replied "well no it was dark but he had blue hair including facial hair. and he was wearing a blue stripped shirt".    The next person the stand was Max Villreal  The lawyer mentioned that there been bad blood between Max and Carly and that the two fought just the week prior to Carly's kidnapping.  Max said "Yeah,  my family got kicked out of our family home which is now the home of HER family..so is it any surprise I'm mad?"  So what did you see that night?  "I saw a couple having drinks and having fun with no sign of anything weird about the scenario."  The next person was Princess Sofia Berjsen  "I  thought stuff was conseual between then 16 year old Carly and 20  year old (really older) Darcy Grant in his Herbert persona. But I do remember seeing him put a drug into one of Carly's drinks."   Then Princess Cassandra Goth was on the stand "I think I might have seen Darcy 'Herbert' putting drugs into all of Carly's drinks."  













Then Darcy got onto the stand and then Carly's lawyer  asked questions about the bank robbery when Darcy was a teen.  How he ended up with a house in Newcrest and why did he kidnapped Carly.   Darcy was "I thought her family was rich ..so I would be able to ransom her.. turns out they weren't..so I had to save money by having her work as a slave for me and then as a nanny for me children. it's the only thing people like HER are good for. "  Then the judge passed down a sentence of fourteen years in  a prison.

2.8 Camping


1939 (still)



Dear diarry, I'm so upset thaatt my hand iss shaking wrriting this.  The children are in school now. and Jacob is learning science while Emma is learning music after school.   Ever since seeing Molly at the park the other month  I been pondering over what the words might mean..

In the woods, where happiness two maidens did find,
Is a place where dreams do dwell.

But I did finally figure it out. I need to go to Granite Falls








One night when the twins were sleeping,  I went downstairs and talked to Mistress Grant about the idea of taking the children camping to take their mind off the war.   So off I went with Jacob and Emma the next day,  and after getting to our lodging,  we played a game of horseshoe








After Emma hugged me, she asked me a peculiar question and asked what might happen to her.. I couldn't really answer the question but I did say "You might have to marry someone you're parents approved"  Then later we sat around the fire and I told this story




"Once upon  a time there lived a princess who parents died, she moved in with her relatives but after she learned she was going to be engaged to one of her distant cousins, she casted a spell, and it seem to have backfired and everyone remaining of her relatives die.  She moves to another town, and marries and have two princesses and a prince at once. The older princess treats the younger one very shabbily. Then as teenager the older princess falls in love with someone she believes is a teen. But after a baby princess is born,  she disappears  and the eldest princess hasn't been seen since!!"



I then put them to bed and sang them this song that Mom used to sing to me:
Stay Awake don't rest your head
don't lie down upon your bed
while the moon drifts in the sky
stay awake don't close your eyes

Though the world is fast asleep
Though your pillow soft and deep
you're not sleepy as you seem
stay awake, don't nod and dream
stay awake, don't nod and dream



I was able to harvest some plants in the woods and catch some insects and then I return to the lodging and went to bed myself.    This morning at breakfast Jacob mention a dream he had.   It seems to be related to Hannah, that a teen  Hannah will be  lying injured supposedly after a duel someplace? I was so upset because I know it has something to do with me being a monster in childhood and teen years unless it's has something to do with the potion I'm going to be making.

2.7 Surprises



Dear diary I saw Carly for the first time since 1932!! Even though she claimed she wasn't Carly.. but someone called "Agnes".  Some weird person also visited us.. Hannah is convinced that its the Queen of Heaven.  I should start at the beginning shouldn't I?







Stuff been normal since 1935. Mom's doing chores still  and that leaves time for Hannah and I to go to visit our nephews and nieces from Derek at their various homes.





On a Wednesday,  when i was out in the garden with Hannah,  this lovely woman with red hair and blue eyes and a white dress and wings appeared in the garden with us. I wondered Why does she wear glasses?   Oddly enough I recognized her voice from when I was child going  through being the maid of all work here at the Swanson Estate. I did ask her "Wait, are you the person who kept singing in my mind "A dream is a Wish Your Hear makes?"  but she didn't reply to me.    She said that Carly is some place else and gave me a riddle to pass to her since I will be "seeing her shortly"  The riddle makes no sense to me but here's it is:

In the woods, where happiness two maidens did find,

Is a place where dreams do dwell.



Hannah's convinced that the woman was Queen Anne of Heaven of the Anneorine religions. I highly doubt that.. 




On the Saturday I happened to be in the same park that Carly was at with her charges. I said "Carly where have you been?" and Carly said "I'm not Carly I'm Agnes and how come you didn't regonize me at the Grants' place?" I was confused about what she was talking about.    She did give me the truth about her so-called boyfriend and I was  so MAD!!




   I gave her the information and when one of her charges asked "Nanny Agnes" about how she knew me I make-up a story that we meet at the library once.

We then all went rollerblading through Hannah had the most falls of all of us.  Before we left.. Hannah told Jacob and Emma about her missing  older sister that she doesn't really, really remember.
