PART 3 – The Blanket Held More Than a Baby
PART 3 – The Blanket Held More Than a Baby
Police officers and paramedics arrived within minutes.
Tommy immediately stepped backward.
"Please don't take Emma."
"We stay together."
Officer James knelt until he was eye level with the little boy.
"We promise."
"No one will separate you."
As a nurse gently checked the baby...
She noticed something stitched inside the blanket.
A small pocket.
Inside was a folded envelope.
On the front...
Three handwritten words.
For My Children.
Officer James unfolded it slowly.
The paper was stained by tears.
If you're reading this...
then I couldn't come back.
Please don't blame Tommy.
He's only a little boy...
but I asked him to become brave far too early.
Every officer in the alley fell silent.
The letter continued.
Emma cries every two hours.
Tommy knows how to warm her milk.
Please...
don't separate them.
Hospital records soon confirmed the heartbreaking truth.
Their mother, Hannah Cooper, had collapsed from a massive brain aneurysm three days earlier while waiting for emergency treatment.
She never regained consciousness.
Tommy didn't know.
He still believed she was coming back.
Then Officer James noticed the final sentence.
If anyone can find Jacob Miller...
tell him I kept our promise.
James frowned.
"Who's Jacob Miller?"

No one in the room recognized the name.
But someone watching the evening news did.
