[name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] [name_m]Zachariah[/name_m] [name_m]Cambell[/name_m] [30] is the private investigator hired by [name_u]Marty[/name_u] to look for her baby. He’s been a PI since he was twenty-one so the task was not unfamiliar for him and he tackled it with confidence. He’s tracked down cheating spouses, missing people, alimony or child support dodgers and much more so in theory he was sure that finding the baby would be no big deal. However since a prison was involved a lot of the details are kept under lock an key, though as he’s learned in his nine year long career, there’s not much that a well placed bribe can’t get you access to. As he often is, he was proven right and a photocopied version of Marty’s file landed in his hands a few hundred dollars later.
In the comfort of his dimly lit and well decorated office he went over the information. [name_m]Reading[/name_m] all about the charges that landed his client behind bars, prenatal information from Marty’s pregnancy, and the all important information about the resulting child. The first few pages were somewhat vague, containing mostly boilerplate stuff ‘Sex: Female, Weight: 6lbs 8oz, Height: 20in.’ though bored he was pleased that he was able to definitively tell his client that she had birthed a daughter. [name_u]Marty[/name_u] also felt very excited by the information of her daughter’s height and weight, having more vindication for herself as a mother.
The next page had more exciting information in his opinion, custody agreement papers. The first few pages were who didn’t make the cut and notes why ‘Siblings of Ms. [name_u]Arlington[/name_u] have been deemed by social services to be unfit guardians due to lack of steady income, housing, or partner. Search has been expanded to extended relatives with hope that a more nuclear family can be located’ there were even more notes about the various [name_u]Arlington[/name_u] siblings such as [name_u]Sandy[/name_u] but [name_m]Geoffrey[/name_m] brushed past them in search of more information about the child. Which the next few pages thankfully yielded ‘Placement for [name_u]Arlington[/name_u] baby located, child has been placed with maternal second cousin once removed and her husband Mr. and Mrs. [name_u]Foy[/name_u]. The couple already have a one year old child of their own and have responded in the affirmative when approached with our request. Child will be placed in their custody tomorrow morning.’ while the information ended there it was already plenty for him to go off of. There thankfully aren’t very many [name_u]Foy[/name_u] families with a now three year old who are related to an [name_u]Arlington[/name_u] family. However there are two, both residing on opposite sides of the country. Geoffrey’s next step in the investigation is to visit both and deduce who is in custody of the child he’s looking for.
He’s planning on heading out in the next few days and has already packed up all his PI gear, he just needs to book the respective flights to each town. He’s assured [name_u]Marty[/name_u] that the end of her search is near and is hopeful that she’ll be reunited with her daughter within the year.
