Bradley adjusted his gold rimmed sses. Tinding your birth parente".
Cameron froze. She hadn''t even thought about that. After If years, her parents probably assumed she was dead. They even had Far didn''t know how to find them at all.
Canseren shook her he
head. "That''s probably impossible"
"It''s not hard to find them," Bradley said. "We just need to locate the hospital where you were born and check which mother lost a baby. Cross-reference that, and we''ll find them."
"I''d have to ask Martin and Heidi which hospital they delivered at, Cameron said.
But after I tricked them into giving up that 15-million dor check today, they must hate my guts, she thought. ''No way they''ll tell me anything!
Cameron''s face remained perfectly calm, not a hint of emotion showing through she''d given up on the concept of family long ago. Because of that, she had zero expectations for the birth parents she''d never met.
"I''ve got ways," Bradley said.
"It''s not that important, Cameron replied. "Getting them locked up and brought to justice matters more."
Bradley was speechless. After a moment of silence, he said. "They''ll get what''sing to them, no question. But we should also find your birth parents, Cameron. They''re victims in this too."
Now it was Cameron''s turn to be caught off guard. She paused. It was true-they were victims too.
"But what kind of people are they? Cameron wondered. "They think I''m dead Would my sudden appearance just mess up their lives?"
Cameron took a slow sip from her cup. "Brad, I''m counting on you, then."
"No big deal," Bradley replied. "Consider it done."
Milena, Martin, and Heidi made it back to their hotel, still shaken from the whole ordeal. They''d gone to get that 15-million-dor check back, and instead came away empty handed and scared half to death.
As evening approached, someone knocked on the door, Milena got up to answer it. "Who is it?" she called out
Ever since she''d insisted on demanding the check at Silvermoss Castle, Martin and Heidi had given her the cold shoulder all afternoon. It stung, and her face was set in a scowl as she pulled the door open.
Her expression instantly changed to shock. "P police officers? Who are you looking for?"
Two cops stood in the hallway. They shed their badges at Milena, then asked for Martin and Heidi by name. "You''re suspected of child abduction. We need you toe with us."
Milena''s jaw dropped. Martin and Heidi looked equally confused
Heidi stood up, forcing an awkward smile. "Officers, there must be some mistake. We haven''t abducted any children, We''ve barely had time to breathe these past few days, let alone abduct someone."
The taller officer looked her straight in the eye. "18 years ago,you abducted Cameron, Is that correct?"

Heidi felt like the floor had dropped out from under her, Cameron? Did Cameron reporter she though Akang ora de for this is how she reys tik?
"We should have kept our mouth shut, But then again, what fence would it make now it happened a
to rity anything now!
"officer, you''ve got it all wrong." Heidi protested. "tinthing like that happened"
ag
The tall policeman raised an eyebrow "Nothing happened? I''ve got a recording Cameron provided of you two confessing to abducting her years sen
Heidi felt her stomach drop. A recording? When the hell did that happen? she thought. "Yesterday?
Martin''s face darkened, but he tried to weasel out of it. "We didn''t kidnap anyone. My sister brought the baby to us. We didn''t do anything
The second officer scoffed. "You''re aplices. That''s hardly doing nothing Let''s go."
They stepped inside and pped handcuffs on Martin and Heidi,
