Agent Tracer had quickly come with a police squad car and a uniformed officer, his wife had packed a few things for her and their daughter, Ness kissed his wife goodbye and the Officer soon drove them to a safe spot where they couldn't be found. Meanwhile, Ness had figured out who the man in the car was with Lacroix, it was Frank Nitti, one of Capone's old associates, who wasn't afraid to get his hands dirty.
Agent Tracer: "Why would Reyes and Lacroix hire a bloke like him?"
Agent Ness: "Because he hate my guts, and the guts of any Federal Agent in this city." Ness looked at the ground and sighed, he looked up at Lena again. "Well, have you learned anything, or how we can put Lacroix and Reyes behind bars?"
Agent Tracer: "Yes, I actually have, there's a doctor that both Reyes and Jack know, she was a nurse in France during the war." Ness looked at her with defined interest.
Agent Ness: "You're kidding." Lena shock her head to show that she wasn't lying.
Agent Tracer: "Nope, her name's Angela Ziegler, and you want to know what's even better than that?" Ness chuckled at her remark.
Agent Ness (Chuckling): "Might as well, we're starting to get somewhere after all." Lena scoffed with a smile.
Agent Tracer: "She just so happens to be my Best Friend." To Ness, this couldn't be better, they finally might have had a chance to put Reyes and Lacroix behind bars.
Agent Ness: "Well let's go find her."
The two got into Eliot's car and drove to Dr Ziegler's apartment in Chicago's Lincoln Park, they didn't know that there was a car for them, two blocks away. As they drove down the street, they noticed the car trailing them. Without a word, Ness made a sharp turn and tried to shake off their pursuers.
Agent Tracer: "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?!"
Agent Ness: "Would you be mad if told you someone was trailing us?" Lena looked back and saw the car, she also saw someone poke their head out the window, and with a tommy gun no less.
Agent Tracer: "Uh oh." The car stayed behind them, and riddled bullets behind them into the back window, causing bullets holes and cracks to be in it.
Agent Ness: "Lena, I've seen how you shoot."
Agent Tracer: "What are you getting at?" Ness looked at her with a serious face.
Agent Ness: "The shotgun you gave me is in the backseat, can you try shooting the tires, or at least scare them into stepping off." Tracer grinned.
Agent Tracer: "Don't worry luv, the cavalry's here." She went into the backseat and picked up the shotgun, she started firing on the car tailing them.
Eliot made another hard turn and managed to prop the car on the two left wheels, but didn't manage to turn over, the other car still tailing them. Lena fired a shot but it only hit the radiator and grill of the car. The Gangsters fired again and almost popped one of the tires of Eliot's car, Lena shot again and this time hit one of the tires, making the car go out of control, and crash into a department store. Eliot stopped the car and ran to a police box, where the police soon came and apprehended the two gangsters that tried to whack the Federal Agents. They continued to the apartment complex and headed to the front desk.
Agent Ness: "Hello, I'm here to see Angela Ziegler, it's of great importance."
Receptionist: "Why do you need to see her." Eliot and Lena pulled out their badges that said they were Federal Agents. "Third Floor, room 71." The two tipped their fedoras and took the stairs to Angela's apartment. When the two reached the apartment, Eliot had Lena go first, she knew the Doctor better and would probably have her feel better about the situation.
Tracer knocked on the doctor's door, Doctor Ziegler was a woman in her late thirties with bright blonde hair in a ponytail, she was wearing a white sweater and gray khakis, she was surprised to see Tracer and Ness there at her apartment.
Angela Ziegler: "Lena?" Tracer took off her hat and smiled.
Agent Tracer: "Hiya Angie." The two hugged, they hadn't seen each other in a long time, after breaking the hug, Angela noticed Ness.
Angela Ziegler: "Oh, I'm sorry, I don't believe I-"
Agent Ness: "Eliot Ness, Federal Bureau of Investigation and Treasury Department, we'd like to ask you a few questions regarding a Gabriel Reyes." Angela was speechless when she heard that name.
Angela Ziegler: "Why don't you two come in." The two Federal Agents entered the apartment, Ness noticed that she must have been a doctor of high prestige, for the apartment was of a large size and had very nice furniture. The two sat on a couch while Dr Ziegler sat in a leather chair. "So, what was this about Gabriel?"
Agent Tracer: "Well Angie, he's in charge of the Talon Gang." This made the Doctor gasp, she had read about what the Talon Gang does in the Chicago Tribune.
Angela: "Oh dear, he hasn't started, 'giving protection' to people here in the city?" Agent Ness shook his head.
Agent Ness: "I believe the situation is much worse than that, they're printing counterfeit money and bootlegging illegal liquor into the states." He stopped for a minute to compose himself. "Is there, anything you can tell us, anything you recall when you knew him that would give us evidence for the DA, and if you do, would you be willing to testify in court." Lena then started to speak.
Agent Tracer: "Angie, this is really important luv, Reyes and Lacroix need to be behind bars, or else, people are going to get hurt, or worse, killed." Angela sighed and nodded.
Angela: "Before the armistice was declared, Gabriel and a man named Jack Morrison were in the Hospital, Gabriel used to be Morrison's superior, then Morrison got a promotion and became his superior, the two argued in the hospital day and night, but what really made them snap was when Reyes suggested making counterfeit money after the war to a friend, and Morrison overheard this. The two had a giant fight that tore apart at least three rooms in the Hospital. I know that might not help much but-" Tracer stopped Angela from saying what she was about to say.
Agent Ness: "Actually Ms Ziegler, you've managed to give us a great help, up to this moment we were stumped, but you've given us a lot of valuable information. I'll have a Squad Car come pick you up and put you into witness protection, with your permission of course."
Angela: "Why certainly." Eliot shook Angela's hand, and Lena hugged her, Ness called a squad car to come pick her up, now they were going to pay someone a visit, someone he should have been suspicious of from the beginning. Agent Jack Morrison.
