Plot
Rachael decided to take over investigating for a while and headed to the Concordia hospital to see if she could find anything, as soon as she entered she was confronted by a nurse who claims someone had kidnapped a newborn.

Just as Rachael was about to head for the maternity ward she heard a crash outside. She headed out there to find the body of a young woman.

The nurse confirmed to her this woman was Amy Young, the new mother. Rachael immediately checked the area and found a bag belonging to Jackson Chapman, when confronted Jackson stated that he'd simply left the bag behind by accident.

Rachael also found a note saying to come to the maternity ward, she headed there where she immediately found two passes, one of them shook her to her core.

She discovered that in the time the child was abducted both Daniel and his brother Horton had been in that room. Both stated they had merely conversed and went about their business. Rachael, confused decided to head back for the autopsy results. Which show Amy had been thrown from the roof during a confrontation, the killer had left behind cigarette ash, meaning the killer had to smoke.

However, in order to access the roof to commit the murder, the killer also had to have access to the hospital, Rachael frowned as so far, all suspects had that access.

As she returned to the hospital she decided to head to the roof to see if she could find anything else.

She immediately saw a figure in all black holding the baby, she noticed the obnoxiously large J on the front of the person's outfit and ran for them. But was shocked when the person simply jumped off the roof.

She looked down, but saw nothing, as if J and the baby, had simply vanished.
