Hey Readers! Here is the promised Sequel to my first SSD story! This one centers more around Shane and Oliver. I hope you like it. Please read and review! Thanks

One day in the early Fall, Shane Mcinerney came bursting through the door of the DLO.

"Good Morning everyone!"

"Good Morning, Shane!", chirped Rita with a big smile. Norman gave her a wave and Oliver smiled as she walked over and took his hand. Turning back to Rita, Shane asked,

" What did I miss?" Oliver answered instead.

"Well, Ms Mcinerney, We have come across a letter and we were just waiting for you to open it." Shane smiled and replied,

"I appreciate your concideration. First though. Molly handed me this letter on my way in. It's adressed to all of us. I thought we should open it right away."

"Who's it from?", asked Norman. Shane handed to Oliver who examined it and stated,

"The return address seems familier but I don't recognize the name."

"Well, looks like the only way to find out who it's from is to open it.", said Shane, handing Oliver his letter opener. Oliver opened the letter and looked at it for a second. Then a big smile slowly appeared on his face. Shane who was reading it over his shoulder, turned to Norman and Rita with a big smile and said you guys won't beleive this.

"What?", asked Rita.

"This isn't a letter. It's an invitation."

"To what?", asked Norman

"To Garret and Kelly's wedding.", Shane answered him

"Oh, from that case around the time of Rita's and my wedding."

"Right you are,Norman.", said Oliver

"We're going to go to the wedding right?", asked Rita.

"I think we should. Oliver?", replied Shane.

"I agree. Norman?", said Oliver. Getting a nod from his friend, Oliver added,

"Then it's settled. Shane, will you RSVP for all of us?"

"Of course.", Shane replied.

"Good. Now that that's taken care of, let's get to work on this new case before us. Rita, will you do the honors?"

" Yes. Thankyou, Oliver." Rita took the envelope and slit it open with the letter opener. She handed it to Shane who read it out loud.

June 17, 2013

Dear Mrs Lenton,

It's been 18 years since we last saw each other ,so you may not remember me. I was the nurse in the delivery room the day you gave birth to twins. You had two girls. I heard you and your husband discussing names before you delivered the twins. The one you took home with you was Sophia Loraine. But you had another baby that day too. Sadie Louise. Your husband told you she had died. What I am about to tell you will be really hard for you to believe, but I promise you it's very true. I can't begin to judge his reasoning ,but what your husband told you is not true. Sadie Louise is very much alive. She has Down Syndrome, but is the prettiest and sweetest young lady you'd ever want to meet. She's a bit behind academically and was held back a couple of grades. She will start her Junior year of High school this fall. She is a very talented artist and acts in her school plays as well as painting the scenery. She has a very pretty singing voice too. She is in the church choir at our church and in her school's chorus. Sorry to be rambling on, but I really want you to know your daughter. She really is your daughter. Once you and your husband and other daughter left the hospital I was told to call CPS. I couldn't let this little angel go to foster care, so I took her with me, resigned from my position at the hospital ,and moved from Raton, New Mexico to Littleton ,Colorado. I felt guilty after awhile and concidered writing you years ago, but I didn't want to complicate things for Sadie. I am, after all, the only mother she's ever known. I have prayed long and hard about writing you now. Sadie is 18 and I just recently told her the truth. She was really angry at first. It took a couple of weeks but she finally came around. She does want to meet you and her sister. She knows I'm writing this letter. I understand this will come as a shock to you. I hope you will at least consider meeting Sadie. She Is a little nervous about this as am I. But we do want her to have a relationship with you. Please take into consideration the fact that her life with me is all she's ever know though, and it might be best to develope this relationship slowly at first. Maybe you could come up to Littleton and stay with us for awhile. You'd be most welcome. I hope to hear from you very soon. Sincerely, Donna Wright.

"Oliver, this letter is three years old! Donna Wright probably thinks Mrs Lenton either didn't believe her or doesn't care about meeting her daughter."

"We still need to do our job though, Ms Mcinerney. Can you look up births in the town of Raton New Mexico in the month of June in the year 1995?" Shane nodded and went to her computer. after a few minutes she shook her head and said,

"There were over one hundred babies born in the month of June in that hospital."

"Maybe you could cross reference it with babies that supposedly died at birth or were put up for adoption.", suggested Norman.

"Ooh! Great Idea,Norman!" Shane got to work on that and a few seconds later she said,

"Bingo! Two babies were born to Jonothan and Audrey Lenton on June 3rd,1995. The second baby was said to have died at birth. Due to lack of oxygeyn. It says that a death certificate was issued. Jonothan Lenton may not have spoken to the nurse but he had to talk to sombody to go along with his little plan. Someone made out the death certificate."

"So all we have to do now is look up Audrey Lenton, and hopefully we can find her and get this letter to her.", said Rita.

"Just remember that It's been 21 years at this point. Audrey Lenton could have moved with her daughter and Husband somewhere else by now."

"Oliver, You've said yourself before, There's always hope.", said Shane.

"That I have. Very well, Ms Mcinerney, see what you can come up with. Shane typed the name into her search engine and a few seconds later she had a hit.

"WOW! I got something here. Jonothan Lenton apparently died in the year 2000. Here is his obituary. And, here is an artical about an Audrey Lenton who organized a charity event for research on Down Syndrome. It says here she works a a Paraprofessional with Special Needs children at Lindberg Elementary school. Or she did when this artical came out."

"Maybe we could go to the school and ask around.", said Rita, excitedly.

"We should wait till after lunch. It's 11:30 right now."

"May Rita and I head to the Mailbox?", asked Norman. Oliver nodded.

"Aren't you guys coming too?", Rita asked.

"Actually, Ms Mcinerney? Would you care to Join me for an al fresco Lunch in the park?",asked Oliver, looking at Shane. She smiled at him and said,

"I'd love to, Mr O'Toole. Rita, it looks like you and Norman are on your own for lunch today."

"We'll reconvine here in the DLO at 12:30." ,Oliver said as he grabbed his hat and jacket and headed out the door with Shane. As they reached the door, Oliver took Shane's hand and they continued on. Little did they know that they were noticed by their friends. Rita's eyes widened and she turned to her husband.

"Norman, did you see that? Do you think they are together?"

"I don't know. But they should be. I just hope they don't take as long to get their act together as we did.", Norman said.

"Oh that would be a shame.", replied Rita. Norman pulled his wife into his arms and said,

"It would be. They belong together. But they'll figure that out." Rita leaned into him and they stood there for a few moments before heading over to the grill.

Well, there's the first chapter for you. Sorry for the slow start. Hopefully The ideas will come faster now that I've started! I'm open to suggestions though. If you guys have any ideas, tell me in the reviews. Again, Reviews are Much appreciated! Bye till next time!
