Felicity Returns

                                    

                                          
Felicity Lincoln
Richard was brought back to Washington state to stand trial. Little Richard is a couple of years old. We hid under the names John and Jane Smith and boy did we blend in. Unfortunately someone turned Richard in. Richard made sure that I had plenty of money if I needed it. He also had a backup plan for me to get cash to support me financially and no one could take it from me. I of course was told to stay out of the limelight. I definitely did that until I found out about Elena trying to blame Richard for everything. I contacted the attorney defending Richard and told him that Elena had Jack Hyde sell me to someone, but I escaped. I explain everything as I remember it. They can't prosecute Richard for molesting me a minor since they have no proof. I became pregnant after 17. The dates prove it. Elena then tried to blame Hyde and Morgan of selling me and my baby. I came back to Washington State and went directly to where Richard instructed me to go. Luckily everything was ready and waiting for us at the place and I had no problems at all. Everything was in my maiden name and I had a new drivers license in my name as well. My name was never changed to Lincoln formally. Now I know why he suggested I keep my maiden name. Accounts were open in my name. When Richard said he would take care of me and his son, he meant for life.

They really dig deep to get me charged with what I ma charged with. Elena has a hand in this and definitely created evidence to get me dragged back to Seattle to stand trial for doing what she was doing. I was never involved in her activities at the shipping yard. I handed her the deed and the keys to it. She wanted it. I had no use for it and was trying to sell it. I don't know what she did after she put it in her name. I soon found out that she said I was shipping people out and made huge profits off it and lied on our taxes. She filed separately from me, so I had no idea what she was doing. Her businesses were filed under her name. I tell Felicity not to visit me or anything else, or Elena might make sure something happens to her and our son. She escaped her clutches once already, well the guy she was sold to. The guy figured her being so pregnant that she couldn't escape. Jack Hyde was part of the human trafficking ring. He was by no means the ring leader of it. Elena knew the ring leader. I will probably serve time for something I am not guilty of.

They finally found Richard and he is standing trial for the things that I have told them he is guilty of. I don't have the evidence to prove it, so I need to call someone who can get the evidence together and give it to the prosecutors office. They figured he was guilty when he left the country. Things went badly when they started introducing the evidence, they brought in Jack Hyde to testify against me. They found Felicity as well. It took some searching but they found her and she recognized me as her captor. She recognized me right away in the line up. Then she recognized Jack Hyde, Elizabeth Morgan help3d her escape and turned out to be uncover to bust us. Neither of us knew who the ring leader was in Seattle. They didn't trust us not to give them up to get a lighter sentence.

Richard will be serving three years for a lesser offense and then they dropped it to five years probation and reporting to a probation officer along with two hundred hours of community service. He had to turn over his passport as well. That was better than the alternative. He spent three weeks in jail waiting for the trial. The fact he left the country was why they remanded without bail. The jury found him guilty of the lesser offense. Elena got more charges and they found her guilty of all of them Jack Hyde got buried after Elizabeth Morgan and I testified against him.

The story was written and on the front pages of every newspaper in Seattle it spread throughout the internet as well. I am very well aware that Kate could have gotten a better story written but she doesn't like digging into the nitty gritty of this kind of story. It scares her because it opens her up to dangers that she doesn't want to deal with. It is all part of the process of reporting stories. Sending her out to investigate a murder case was the wrong move on my part. Enid was pretty mad at me after Kate got her first death threat. Kate hand3d over all her notes and quit to become a photographer and videographer of events and to open her own business doing that. She opened a gallery as well and had several people work with her. Now her business stays busy all the time and it seems that she can cherry pick her jobs. The big one was the Grey wedding. We found out recently that she has been dating Elliott Grey and it is going well. No marriage in the offing yet. 
Enid
I was happy that Kate is dating Elliott Grey because he can support her very nicely. She likes designer clothing and buys it, but she can't afford it. She throws her extra money back into her business. I understand why she quit the writing gig after the death threats she got. She investigated and found out who the real killer was and they found out she knew. She had to have bodyguards after she was attacked going to her car. Luckily people saw the attack and helped her. She was in the hospital for three days. The culprit was picked up thirty days later after trying to break into Kate's apartment. Her neighbor called the police and helped capture the woman. Everyone thought it was a man who killed the victim, but Kate kept saying it was definitely a woman. The woman dressed like a man and was a skilled killer.
