Part Two

Peter stared at the screen. There was no name so he didn't have a clue as to who sent the message. He got up and headed in to Kermit's office. He knocked, of course, not wanting to lose fingers, or something worse just for forgetting to knock. Peter heard a rough "ENTER."
"What can I..." Kermit stopped in mid-sentence as Peter walked in. He noticed that the young man was pale and his hands were shaking. "Whoa Kid. You better sit down and tell me what is wrong."
" Kermit, do you remember when I got shot three months ago?" asked Peter.
" How could I forget. We nearly lost you. Why?"
" Well, I just got an e-mail from someone who says that they were there that night. He says that the next time we meet he is going to kill me and that I better watch my back. It sounds like he knows me."
Kermit grew very upset at what he was hearing. No one ever threatened his friends and got away with it. He made a promise to himself to bring these people to justice by whatever means necessary. " Did the e-mail have a name or some indication of who it was from?" asked Kermit.
" No. That's why I came to you. I was hoping that you could trace it back to its point of origin."
" Hey, that's what us frogs do best. Come on let's go to your computer and get started."
Somewhere else, a man sat in his office. He had just sent an e-mail to Peter Caine. He was now waiting for a response or some sign that his message had been received. He didn't have to wait long, for as he sat and watched, a message came up saying that his e-mail was being traced.
" I don't think so Caine. I was hoping you would e-mail me, but I guess not. Well I have a little surprise for you." He leaned over and spoke into his microphone. "Proceed with phase one."
"Are you getting anywhere Kermit?" asked Peter.
" These people have blocks set up and I have to get past them. But I can't do that if you are hovering over my shoulder. Now sit down."
" Sorry I have a feeling that something is about to go wrong."
" Well Kid....." Kermit never got a chance to finish, because something came crashing through precinct window.
" What the...." Kermit and Peter dove for cover. That is when the lights went out and two shots were heard.
