Chapter 7

The phone had been ringing nonstop most of the morning. Sighing in frustration, he answered it after the third ring. "Captain Fuller speaking." Listening to the voice on the other end, Adam Fuller's day went from bad to worse in a matter of seconds. "What? When? What do you mean they never showed up? No one has heard from them and they were supposed to be there over six hours ago? You're just now letting me in on this information?" Adam yelled into the phone. "Listen here. I expect to be updated regularly from now on. Oh, I am involved in this now and there's nothing that you can say to stop me. Those are my men out there, do you understand me?" Slamming down the phone, Fuller stood up and walked over to his door. Glancing around for his officers he yelled, "Hoffs, Ioki, Booker! My office… NOW!" Walking back over to his desk, he took his seat and waited for his officers to file into the small room.

"What's up coach?" Booker asked as he sat on the couch in the office. "Something wrong?"

"Yes Booker… something is definitely wrong." Fuller said. He watched as Judy and Harry took the seats in front of his desk. "I just got word from the FBI that Hanson and Penhall never made it to the safe house."

"What do you mean? They left yesterday evening. Shouldn't they have been there by now?" Judy asked, beginning to get worried about her friends.

"Yeah, they were supposed to be at the safe house early this morning, but they never checked in. Unfortunately there's been no word from the FBI agents assigned to them either." Fuller stated.

"So let me get this straight." Booker began. "Hanson and Penhall have been missing for over six hours and Vinnie Carleton is on the loose and we're just now finding out about this?"

"That's exactly what I'm saying." Fuller said. "I've already contacted the FBI headquarters to find out where this safe house is."

"You mean you didn't even know where they were taking Hanson and Penhall?" Harry asked.

Fuller shook his head. "Apparently it was on a need to know basis. I was told we didn't qualify as the need to know."

"That's bullshit coach!" Booker said, his temper rising. "Hanson and Penhall are Jump Street officers, I think that should qualify as need to know."

"I agree Dennis, but what's done is done." Fuller said. "Now we need to focus on getting them back."

Just then the phone rang and Fuller picked up the receiver. "Captain Fuller speaking. Hi. I've been waiting to hear from you. What? When? Where is it? Okay, we're on our way." Adam hung up the phone and stood up and put on his coat.

"Who was that Captain?" Harry asked.

"Detective Wainwright." Fuller answered. "They found Agent Barne's car."

"That's good news, right Captain?" Judy asked. "Where is it?"

"About 60 miles from the US border. There's a problem though." Fuller stated.

All eyes were on him as he spoke the next words. "The car had been wrecked and Agents Barnes and Lance were pronounced dead at the scene.

"What about Hanson and Penhall sir?" Harry asked.

Fuller let out a sigh and rubbed a hand over his face. "There were no signs of either of them."

Judy stood up and marched to the door. "Well, what are you all waiting for?" she asked. "Let's go and find them."

Harry and Dennis looked over at Captain Fuller. "Well, you heard the Detective, let's go."
