"When did this happen?"
"Five or ten minutes now."
"Is he still there?"
"Yes."
"Ask him to stay, we're on our way."
Rafe stood and paced his office. He couldn't focus on anything else. Then, he opened his laptop and entered into the secret server Wade had set up. He checked the geo tags for Wade and didn't see them lit up. So, he did go dark - good. Checking the last location he knew him to be, he was relieved he didn't light up. At least there was that.
He closed his laptop and turned in his chair to stare out the window. His phone rang and he swiftly answered.
"Martin."
"Mr. Martin, this is Matt Holden. I've run the sketch you gave me through our data base. A positive ID just came back. The man's name is Jensen Gable. He has a rap sheet, though mostly petty stuff. I'll email you what I found."
"Thanks, Matt."
He shook his mouse in impatience, waiting for the email to come through. The instant the email landed in his inbox, he clicked it open and watched as the photo populated. That was him alright. Reading through his rap sheet he saw a man with a colored past. Burglary. Property damage. Breaking and entering. Pickpocket. None of these things had anything to do with explosives. So he was either escalating or trying something new.

Addy stood at the black door of Senator Jackson's home. The pizza in her hands was cooling and the aroma made her stomach growl. She hadn't had pizza in a while. Helissa, their cook at the HOG, made them healthy meals. Pizza hadn't made it onto her healthy delights yet. Hopefully one day though.
Pushing the doorbell a few times in frustration she leaned to the right and tried peering through the frosted glass on the side panels of the door. The frosting was good - it revealed nothing.
Something sounded from behind the door, then it cracked open. "Senator, I have..."
"Save it. It's me." Myles chuckled.
Myles stepped back but kept himself hidden by the door. Once she was inside, he twisted the lock on the door and shook his head.
"We've found blood. No body though."
"Show me."
Following Myles through the foyer and living room to the kitchen, she saw small amounts of blood spatter on the refrigerator and cabinet alongside.
"He was shot." She guessed.
"Yes. But, he's too big to drag or carry. This was likely only a few minutes ago because the blood is still wet. And Rafe's guy saw someone come in."
Addy set the pizza box on the table, making sure there weren't any blood spatters or tracks and examined the area with Myles.
"Where's Henry?"
"Checking out the rest of the house."
"Okay."
She glanced around the kitchen, saw the back sliding doors ajar and pointed at them. "Is that you?"
"Yes."
"And you didn't see anyone out there when you came through the back?"
"No. We came from the neighbor's yard behind and didn't see anyone."
