Chapter 2

He proceed to put his jacket on in hopes of Sharon saying yes to him because she was distracted by the rush to find this nut job.

Sharon saw Andy putting his jacket on with the hope that she would say yes, and that only made her want to cry. She knew how much this was starting to take a toll on him. The last thing she need was for his stress level to skyrocket.

"I'm sorry Andy", with a hand on his arm Sharon whispered "I love you".

"Yes, yes I know", said Andy to Sharon as she headed to her office to retrieve her gun and badge. "I guess I have to find a new way around there to be effective".

Rusty and Andy stood with helpless looks on their faces as Sharon, and the rest of the team headed out.

Mom, Mom please be careful", said a worried looking Rusty.

"I will", said Sharon as she looked one last time at the two of three the most important men in her life.

"Ok, Rusty come with me", said Andy as he turned towards RACER. "Do you know where Andrea is?" Andy said turning slightly as they both walked down the hall. I need to coordinate with SOB on what the plan is to get everyone safely through this new development.

Andy and Rusty entered RACER to see Andrea already sitting down at the desk staring at the monitors in the room.

"Did I missed anything? asked Andy to Andrea.

"No, bomb squad is still five minutes out", said Andrea looking at Rusty to gage his reaction to what was on the screens.

Andy and Andrea gave theories about the intention of the bomber. It helped to get rid of all the nervous energy that were emanating from them. As Andrea was about to response to Andy they heard the Pilot's from SOB started to give the coordination of Major Crime's team, SIS and the Bomb squad.

Andy waited for him to finish before letting them know that they were receiving the pictures, and please fly low enough so they can have eyes on the team.

Andy, Andrea and Rusty watched in total silence as the team began to extract the people at Albert Luna's funeral in hopes of finding the bomb before it goes off.

While that was going on a though occurred to Andy about the bomber, and maybe he was watching the scene to know when the team arrived so he can set the bomb off.

"I have a feeling that the bomber is very close by, looking at the team, and waiting till they get very close to set the bomb off", said Andy thinking out loud in RACER.

Andy was trying to relay to the pilots to let the team know that they needed to check the streets close to the cemetery with the dogs to pick up any scent of the bomber. If he is using explosive it would still be on his skin even if he washed his hands. Not to seconds after thinking, and trying to relay that information did one of the worse moments of his life happened before his eyes.
