Chapter 2:

Steve was about to say something when all of their cell phones began to ring. 5 minutes they all had shocked horrified and enraged looks on their faces as Cavanaugh said, "I want my people out there at once."

The four detectives and Maura nodded as they left. Jimmy ordered, "Dana I want you to monitor all of the jihadist websites. You can do it from here. Steve I want you to go assemble a TAC team and beat feet to the site and establish a perimeter. Jack I-"

Jack said, "First thing I'm doing is going to check on my sisters. Then I'll get to the scene."

Jimmy just nodded as both Jenna and Charlie said they were coming with him. As they left Cavanaugh has a huge grin on his face. Jimmy saw it and asked, "What's so funny?"

Cavanaugh said, "It just does my heart proud to see my children pull together and look out for the younger ones."

The former DEVGRU CO knew exactly what LT Sean Cavanaugh was talking about.

When jack pulled up in front of the apartment his three youngest sisters shared he said, "Let's go."

His two sisters rolled their eyes at his usual gruff manner as they climbed out of the car trudged up to the door. Jack knocked and five minutes later their youngest sister Stacy Cavanaugh answered the door and 1,000 watt smile lit up her face as she said, "Jack, Jenna, Charlie' what're you guys doing here?"

Jack replied in a soft gentle voice, "We came to check on you three. We were worried about you."

Stacy gave her oldest brother a hug as she said, "Come on in."

They followed her inside and saw their other two sisters Cindy and Briana were sitting on the couch watching FOX NEWS. Briana stated in detached voice, "We were hit again and the news is saying this is only the first attack."

All three CT agents just stared at her as Charlie asked, "What make you say that Bri?"

Cindy replied, "A manifesto was just delivered to the media and it's all over the net."

Again they all shared a look as Jack stepped outside and yanked out his and made a call. As soon as Dana picked up he told her everything the girls had told him. When he was finished Dana said, "Jack they're right. I'll send their manifesto to your phone."

He thanked her then he asked, "Is anybody taking credit for the attack?"

She hit a few more keys on her keyboard and replied, "Not as of yet but we both know who is responsible."

Jack replied in a cold voice, "The Tiger."

She nodded as she asked, "How're your sisters?"

He smiled into the phone as he replied, "Are you asking for yourself of for Dad?"

It was her turn to grin as she replied, "I'm asking for both of us actually."

He leaned against his car as he replied, "They're good; they're scared as hell and confused but other than that they're good."

She felt for Jack. He wanted to protect his little sisters from the horrors of the world but alas he was unable too. He asked, "Has Steve formed the perimeter?"

She replied, "Yea, he's working with BPD SWAT and the bomb squad."

Jack nodded as a BPD squad car pulled behind his Vanquish. He said, "Get back to me with everything they find."

Dana said she would and with that he terminated the call. He had just put his phone away when the BPD officer walked up to him. The cop said, "You must be Jack."

Jack said in a noncommittal tone, Uh-huh."

The cop continued as if Jack had never spoken, "It's an honor to meet you sir. Bri has told me all about you. I'm Officer Derrell Soriano; I look forward to working with you."

Jack asked in his usual habitual gowl, "Why are you here Officer?"

Officer Soriano was unfazed by Jack's tone or question; he replied, "I came here to see if the girls were okay."

Jack fixed him with a stern look as he ordered, "Officer I want you to stay here and make sure my sisters are safe. I'll have LT Cavanaugh relieve you in a few hours. Under no circumstances are you let anyone other then my selef, members of my family or LT Cavanaugh's squad; am I making myself clear?"

Officer Soriano nodded as he said, "Crystal clear sir; you can count on me."

Jack just nodded as he walked back toward the house. He had made it halfway when both Charlie and Jenna came walking out; both with phones attached to their ears. Jenna said as she slid into the backseat, "I need to get back my profilers will be here soon and I need to meet them and get them ontroduceed to the quad and your people."

Jack nodded as he slid behind the wheel fired the car up and sped back the the precinct. Charlie said as she put her phone away, "My partner just got to the crime scene. After we drop Jenna off we need to get out there."

Jack asked, "You still partnered with Hatcher?"

She replied defensively, "Yea. He's a good case officer."

He nodded as he pulled out his black BlackBerry z30 and tossed it to her as he growled, "Look up the Eritrea and Sudan OPs he ran using my Delta team."

She did as he suggested. 15 minutes later she handed him back the phone as she said, "Jack you and I both know OPs go sideways and there's always blowback but there's no reason to blame Eddie."

Jack was about to say something when suddenly he thought better of it and instead snarled, "Just keep him the hell away from me."

She just nodded and rest of he rest was conducted in a comfortable silence.

When they got back to the precinct they saw that the squad and Maura had returned. Jack asked, "What did you find out?"

Korsak replied, "The IED was constructed of semtex with nails and ball bearings pressed into the plastique as shrapnel."

Jack grimaced as said, "Just like the bombings a couple of years ago in Nigeria and Tunisia."

Both Charlie and Jenna nodded as Jack cell began to ring. He grabbed it and barked, "Cavanaugh."

Steve said, Uh... Jack... I think we have a problem."

Jack asked, "What's going on?"

Steve replied, "We just found 3 more bombs."

He said, "I'm on my way."

Then to Charlie he snapped, "Let's go."

Jimmy asked, ""What's going on?"

Jack quickly filled the room in. When he was finished Jimmy pulled out his phone and quickly called his Chief of Staff Rachel Zarqawi and said as soon as the woman picked up, "I'm headed back with Dana; I want every department head assembled in the situation room by the time we get there."

Rachel asked, "What's going on sir?"

He said, "I'll explain when I get there."

She said, Understood."

And with the call was ended and both Jimmy and Dana left. As Jack and Charlie were leaving Cavanaugh said, "You two be careful."

Jack smiled thinly as he said, "We'll try Dad."

Cavanaugh gave a brisk nod as they left. As soon as they left two people in suits walked in. Cavanaugh snapped, "Who are you two?"

The tall muscular black man replied, "I'm SSA Robert Sullivan and this SSA Alex Chambers. We're from the BAU."

Jenna walked up and said, "Hey Bobby, Alex thanks for coming. This my dad LT Sean Cavanaugh."

Bobby said good naturedly, "We just met."

Alex asked, "What do we know?"

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

When they got the scene Jack saw Charlie's partner Eddie Hatcher was talking with Steve and the CRSU techs. They walked up and Jack shouldered Hatcher out of the way. The CIA Case Officer glared at him as he growled, "Don't do that."

Jack rounded on him and with fire blazing in his stormy blues snarled, "Or what?"

Hatcher was about to reply when a very familiar voice said, "Drop it Hatcher."

The CIA Case Officer just shook his head and turned back to his conversation. Jack and Charlie and saw Charlie's fiance CIA Paramilitary Officer Billy Jessup and much to their surprise their broth Army CWO5 Tyler Cavanaugh. Jack asked, "You come to help us out Ty?"

Tyler shook his head he said, "Nope; just here to visit Dad and the girls."

Then he sobered up and said, "But I'll help in any way I can. You know that."

Jack thanked him as Charlie asked, "So what's the plan?"

Jack replied, "You stay here; I want you and Hatcher to work with Steve and his boys I want to know if anyone saw anything. Ty you go see Dad and I'll cntact you when I need you."

They both nodded as Billy asked, "What about me?"

Jack replied, "We're going back to DCS and see what they've got."

Billy nodded as they climbed into Jack's car and drove off. They were halfway to DCS when Jack's cell rang. He grabbed it and barked, "Cavanaugh."

Jane said, "Jack I'm scared. I think I got a stalker."

Fear gripped his insides as he asked, "Why do you think that?"

She told him about the intentional burning of her apartment, the freezing of her bank account and credit cards and about the taunting video that was e-mailed to her. He was quiet for several minutes lost in thought; trying to decide what to do. Finally his mind made up he said, "I gotta drop Billy off at DCS then I'll be there most ricky titck."

She thanked him then said, "I'm just scared and pissed at the same time."

He replied before he disconnected the call, "I know but we'll find who's doing this...and make them pay."

After he put his phone away he told Billy what was going on. The former MARSOC Marine asked, "What can I do to help?"

Jack replied, "I don't know as of yet."

Billy nodded. He knew from Charlie and he had seen it for himself Jack was in love with Det. Jane Rizzoli he just hadn't told her yet; hell Billy doubted he had even admitted it to himself.

After he had dropped Billy off he raced to BPD. He made a quick detour to his house and ran down into his basement which he had converted into a combination Armory, shooting range and reloading station. He strapped a black blackhawk SERPA Level 3 Light Bearing Tactical Holster to his right thigh and dropped his P30LS into it, then he strapped on a black blackhawk Elite Level IIIA Special Threat Soft Armor with S.T.R.I.K.E. Cutaway Tactical Armor Carrier, then over that he strapped on a black blackhawk S.T.R.I.K.E. Elite assault vest with a with a black KA-BAR Night Raider in a black Kydex sheath taped to his left shoulder. He also grabbed a pair of black blackhawk Fury Commando gloves with KEVLAR with he stuck in one of the vest pockets. Then he went over to his rifle rack and selected a 5.56MM Wilson Recon Tactical with an EOTECH EOLAD-1V and six extra magazines. Then he grabbed a 12 .ga Scattergun Technologies Border Patrol with Scattergun Technologies Trak–Lock Ghost Ring Rear Sights as a box of flechette shotgun shells a box of triple ought buckshot rounds and a box of EXREP shells. He threw them in a black duffel bag along with half a dozen flashbangs, smoke, concussion and fragmentation grenades. Lastly he grabbed his EOTECH MTM Mini-Thermal Monocular which he stuck in the inside left pocket of his assault vest. He pulled on his gloves and donned his aviator sunglasses as he hefted the duffel and marched out to an armor plated jet black 2003 Ford Excursion. He threw the duffle in the backseat and put the Recon Tactil's sling around his right arm and head and slid in behind the wheel, fired it up and sped away to BPD.
