Chapter 7
Back at the hotel, the gathering was starting to disperse. They all had to meet at the FBI headquarters by eight a.m. No one wanted to be late. Horatio said his good nights first and headed off to his suite, all three of the lab heads had been issued with a suite rather than a room. Arriving at his, Horatio pulls out his cell and dials. "Mr Wolfe?"
Ryan reports back what they've found. "And working with Mr. Sanders?" Horatio enquires
"It's fine" comes the cautious reply.
"He's with you?" Horatio asks in response.
"Yes" laughs Ryan, "We have to drop this stuff off at the lab, then we'll be back at the hotel, everyone still at the party?"
Horatio tells him it's all over, and it wasn't a party, it was a casual meeting so that everyone could meet. They hang up.
Ryan tells Flack and Greg that the 'gathering' was over, Greg groaned "I always miss all the fun!" He exclaims.
"I very much doubt that." Ryan replies with a smile.
"I'm tired anyway," Flack starts, "been a long day."
They nod in agreement, it sure had.
...
Approaching the FBI headquarters lab, they come to a stop by a security hut, Ryan winds down the window and shows his I.D card, Flack and Greg also produce theirs. The security guy gets out a clip board, writes down some details, checks his watch and then waves them through the now raised barrier.
Ryan drives on through, then turns to the others "anyone see any signs to tell us which way to go?"
They both look out of the windows, shaking their heads, "at this rate we'll still be here in the morning...won't have to worry about being late." Flack sighs.
"Over there!" Greg suddenly yells, "sorry, didn't mean to shout, I can see a site map."
Ryan drives across to the map and Greg jumps out. Studies the map, climbs back in and says "this way" pointing to the left. Ryan follows Greg's directions to a car parking area and pulls up.
"Want me to run and sign it in?" Ryan asks glancing at the other two.
"Sure" they both reply, not about to argue.
Ryan enters the building and follows the directions to the evidence sign in area, shows his I.D, then signs the items in, using a form supplied to him by the locker supervisor. "You guys didn't take long to jump in." The supervisor comments to Ryan.
"It's what we're here for" Ryan replies. He checks the form, checks the evidence stickers, then places them on the right bags. He then checks them again, then signs the form. They evidence guy looks at him.
"Sure you've checked it properly fella?" He asks
Ryan looks at him, "if anything is wrong, or goes missing, I know it's not down to me if I check it enough times!" He tells him, trying not to sound cross. He couldn't help it...
He returns to the car, gets in and says "Time for bed?"
The others nod in agreement.
