Jessica along with Mort and the two Hardy brothers arrive at Seth's office. Seth has just finished working on the body. The Body on table was a Caucasian male with black hair and Looks to had been in early thirties. Seth notices the group and takes off his gloves and goes over to greet them.

" Well I didn't realize this was a exhibition." Said Seth. " Dr. Seth Hazlitt I want you meet Fenton's sons Frank and Joe Hardy." Said Jessica as she introduces them.

" Well I assume the Sheriff here told you that the body recovered isn't your father." Said Seth

" we know that Doctor, we're just trying to figure out the connection between this guy and our father." Said Frank.

" so Doc what's the cause of death?" asked Mort.

" The cause of death is strangulation. It appears that this gentlemen's neck was snapped in two places.

" What kind of weapon can cause such damage?" asked Jessica

" That's the thing this man's neck was snapped by human hands. So tell me boys did your father train in Martial arts?" asked Seth

" Yeah Dad trained in various forms of martial arts." Joe answered

" well this form of maneuver is only taught to soldiers and Police officers. I should know I learned this back in WWII when I served." Said Seth

" Your right Doc I too learned the same move, but it was only supposed be used as a last resort." Said Mort

" Are you guys saying that our Father killed this man?" asked Frank

" It certainly looks that way." Said Seth

" No way! My father would never kill anyone in cold blood!" said Joe as he starts to get angry.

" Calm down Joe! It's obvious that Dad killed this man in self defense." Frank said

" Seth What is that? Asked Jessica as she notices the tattoo on the dead man's neck.

" Looks like a tattoo of a snake. A python to be exact." Said Seth

" wait a minute this tattoo could be a symbol of an criminal organization." Said Frank as he takes out his cell phone and takes a picture.

" Put that away young man! I don't allow pictures to be taken in here." Said Seth as he starts to get annoyed.

" Sorry I just wanted to get a picture of the tattoo so I can look it up my dad's criminal database." Said frank

" So this man could be an assassin for a criminal organization? Asked Joe

" well it's certainly a possibility." Said Jessica

" Okay enough with the wild conspiracy theories, I have work to do so I would like you all to leave. Said Seth

" all right Doc we can take a hint. Come on boys lets go." Said Mort as he and the two brothers head out the door.

" Really Seth? That was very rude." Said Jessica as she gets upset

" I'm sorry Jessica, I just don't like it when a people take pictures of my corpses. Next thing you know it's on Bookface. Said Seth

" I think you mean Facebook." Said Jessica as she starts to laugh.

" well I have to get back to work, so if you would excuse me?" said Seth

" See you later." Said Jessica as she walks outside and Meets the rest of the group.

" So what's up with the Doc? The old dude is so cranky." Said Joe

" He's always like that don't let it bother you." Said Mort

" Now that we have clue with the tattoo I can't wait to look it up on my laptop." Said Frank

" Oh wait Frank! The Laptop is back at home in Bayport." Said Joe

" We can use my laptop back at my House, and while we're there I can fix you both some lunch I know you boys must be hungry." Said Jessica

" We are Hungry I know I could use a bite to eat." Said Joe

" Thanks Mrs. Fletcher we accept." Said Frank

" are you coming Uncle Mort?" asked Joe

" No you boys go ahead I have to get back to the station." Said Mort

" we'll call if we find something." Said Jessica.


At Jessica's house Frank and Joe were enjoying the sandwiches and slices of apple pie that she prepared for them.

" I have to say Mrs. Fletcher this apple pie is awesome." Said Joe

" I'm glad you enjoyed it Joe." She replied

After lunch Jessica brought down her laptop for the boys to use. Frank was impressed by the fancy model of the laptop he didn't expect a woman of Jessica's age to have such up to date technology.

" This laptop is perfect Mrs. Fletcher it has everything I need to do my research." Said frank

" Thank you, my nephew Grady bought it for me for Christmas. She replied

Frank started the search by plugging in his cell phone to the laptop and transferring the picture of the tattoo into the data base and a logo of the Python organization appeared.

" According to this python logo respresents the Python organization a terrorist group." Said Frank as he reveals the stunning revelation.

" Oh my god, no wonder Dad didn't want us involved in this case!" said Joe

" So that man in your father's was an assassin." Said Jessica

" Who must've followed Dad here. Said Frank

" Yeah and Dad killed him. So where is he?" asked Joe

" They must have your father and they're keeping him alive." Said Jessica

" They must be after something." Said Frank

" Boys I think we need to go to your father's motel room." Said Jessica as she and the two brothers rushed out door.
