CHAPTER TWENTY-ONE

The blood drained from Grant’s face when he entered the underground chamber where his daughter had been held. His legs felt like jelly as Lloyd showed him the small room Megan and Radar had shared. The thought of his daughter trapped in the tiny soundproofed cell with its thick glass door sent shivers down his spine.

“Can you come over here for a moment,” Jake was standing beside the unconscious woman and beckoned to the men.

The forensic technician, who was taking samples and recording evidence, stepped aside to let them pass.

“Grant, I want you to look carefully at this lady. Do you recognize her? Have you ever seen her before? Take your time, there’s no rush,” Jake said.

“There is something vaguely familiar about her but I don’t know what it is. Has anyone done a DNA test on her yet?”

The technician cleared his throat before answering Grant’s question.

“Her DNA hasn’t come up with any matches, which is unusual, considering it’s a run of the mill test for everyone nowadays, even for a driving permit. The fact that there are no records in Central Database for her makes me wonder exactly how long she has been down here. Everyone on the continent is on that, certainly anyone born in the last fifteen years or who has a bank account, a pension, who drives, pays utility bills, the list goes on. There’s just no way she could have been conscious this past decade and a half and avoided a DNA test.”

Jake put a hand on Grant’s shoulder.

“Do you mind if this guy takes a DNA sample from you? Lloyd and I have already given one. It helps to identify who has been in here. Hopefully, whoever has Megan will show up too.”

Grant said he would be happy to cooperate in any way possible if it would lead to the safe return of his daughter. The technician took a mouth swab and promised to process it straight away.

“The equipment here is state of the art. It certainly beats any lab I ever worked in. My superiors have decided to leave this lady here. She’s brain dead and no relatives have come forward, even though her face has been all over the internet and media since she was discovered. So I guess there’s no need to disturb her,” the technician said as he looked around the room. “A team of scientists and surgeons are arriving tomorrow to examine her and the organ samples we found. If that will be all, I should get back to work. I have a lot more testing to do before writing up my report.”

“We’ll go now and let you get on with it. Thanks for your time. Please let me know the minute you find anything substantial,” said Jake.

Back at the house Lydia was told what was going on at the clinic. A forensic team was at work searching every inch of the ranch, one more time, as part of the investigation into Megan’s disappearance. She had finally been classed as a missing person.
