Chapter 547


    Ad was a real sport, answering every question thrown her way, "Oh gosh, that''s a tough one, and let me think..."


    She rolled her eyes in thought, then her face lit up as she said, "Right, | remember now. The first time | saw that kid was when


    they moved in. He was just about yay big."


    Ad gestured to indicate the size, then continued, "! could tell he was just a newborn, fresh as a daisy. | saw thisdy carrying


    him up the stairs, and being the nosy neighbor | am, | asked her who she was looking for. She said they were moving into


    apartment 3B. That was the first time | saw them."


    “And you didn''t ask what their rtionship was?" | asked, my curiosity ame..


    "| did ask, actually." Ad perked up as she chatted, "The woman told me it was her son''s child. Poor thing, the daughter-inw


    passed away, and the son had gone to find work out of town. She went on to say that her inws were fighting with her over the


    baby, so she took the kid and hid out here in this apartment. She also mentioned that her grandchild couldn''t just be handed over


    to them, especially since they were not the most reputable folks. Otherwise, her daughter-inw might still be alive. Who knows


    what''s true or not, but it sounds pretty heartbreaking. Such a shame for such a beautiful child to be without a mother." Ad


    sighed, "That kid was so striking, and you wouldn''t forget his face."


    Tears began to well up in my eyes.


    Ad gave me a quizzical look, "What''s this about? Even if you''re cops, why are you looking for her? Something''s up?"


    "|..." |was at a loss for words, ncing over at Ronan.


    Ronan quickly stepped forward to help me out, "We''re family on the mother''s side. I''m the uncle, and she''s the aunt. The child


    was taken from us. It''s a long story. We''ve been searching for three years. The mother is alive and well, and it''s just that losing


    her child made her a bit out of sorts."


    Atear finally escaped and ran down my cheek.


    "See, | knew something was fishy. Why else would they be cooped up inside all the time? That no-good woman." Ad was full


    of righteous indignation, "Oh dear, did she run off again?"


    Ronan nodded, "Yes, that''s why we had no choice but to call the police.”


    "Oh right, some folks were looking for them a few days ago. What was that about?" Ad inquired, adding, "They didn''t look like


    good news. All grim and menacing."


    "Yeah, they were sent by the child''s paternal uncle. They don''t want the kid toe home." Ronan half-truthfully wove the story.


    “Ad, do you have a photo of the woman or anything that could help us find her?" | asked on a whim.


    Ad shook her head, "No, catching a glimpse of them was rare enough.”


    Hannah quickly instructed Ad, "You seem like a responsible person, and you''re sharp. Here''s my number. If you hear anything


    about this family, please assist us and give us a call.


    But for today, to avoid spooking anyone, please keep this under wraps. Don''t tell anyone, not a soul, about anything rted to


    this matter or if something elsees to mind. Please, just ring us up."


    "Sure thing. You''re the police, and | can rest easy. Otherwise, I''d be wondering what kind of folks are sneaking around


    someone''s house in the dead of night, and that would be improper." Ad now exined with a smile.
