I got to admit I lost motivation for this story for a while, but then I re-read it and found it again. I hope you guys like this chapter.

Then Jo motioned her hand to get someone to speak and all four men started to speak which caused Jo to motion all them to stop.

"One at a time please. How about you, Henry what did you find out today about FOT?" Jo said as she grabbed Henry playfully who was still sitting on the bed right next to her.

Jo let go of Henry and could tell whatever Henry was about to tell her really freaked him out with the expression on his face.

" Jo, Future of Tomorrow is a dump and there is no way any money that the organization gets from donations goes back to it….or least very little of it." Henry said in a depressed but serious tone.

Henry continued " The place is dirty, things are broken, kids are not being taken care of, food is disgusting and the place is not updated at all except for a fitness area for adults."

" Well that's not a surprise to hear" Jo said a she took a deep breath.

" But there's more, Jo. They take these kids on trips and community outings and I for one would like to know where and who goes with the kids and if these are recruiting trips for the Spanish Shadow gang." Henry said in a serious tone.

Then Henry, took out several pieces of paper that were in his jacket pocket and gave it to Jo and said " To sign up for FOT, the form asks very sensitive questions and it probably helps them know who to target."

Jo looked at the FOT sign up forms and could not believe what they were asking for a social security number, How much they get paid, Political leanings and their checking account number.

" Henry, I definitely think you are right about the questions help narrow who to target. I mean look at what they want to know; if they know how much the member makes and they are in the lower income bracket…I would think they would target that member or that member's kids." Jo said as she was astonished at what these sign up papers wanted.

Jo continued " I agree about the trips and community outings as well, they are probably another way the Shadow gang recruits. I think it is obvious that money the FOT makes their members donate money as well as pay their regular membership fee, is not going to the community or back in FOT. But I will give Franklin props on making the public believe he does."

Hanson then popped in the conversation and said " I find all this interesting as you two do but I think the info that I got from Maria Lowell will connect what Henry found out at the FOT center."

Jo curious to hear what Hanson had to say and said " What you got Mike?"

" Well, Maria told us that yes the FOT pretty much does brainwash these kids who they recruit and basically tells them that no one cares for them except the shadow gang and gets them into the street life." Hanson said as he took a step closer to Jo's bed.

Hanson continued " After Henry, went on his trip to FOT center, Maria told me she was visited by our boy Troy."

Before Hanson could get the next word out, Jo interrupted with a curious tone saying " TROY"

" Yup, Troy. This man was on Spanish shadow's trail pretty hot and he told Maria that Franklin was gearing up to run for Governor. Well, Franklin has a PAC and is doing interviews, holding photo ops or charity events for the poor that Maria says comes from FOT." Hanson said seriously.

Jo put her hand to her face and groaned as she said " That's not what we need for Franklin to become Governor of NY. We need to look into who is donating money to his campaign but we won't be able to see all of the donors but we can see what companies because that is public record."

Jo continued " Mike, just like you said before we need to look in the current mayor and governor and see who gave to their campaign because we might for a connection there too."

Then Jo thought of the next step she wanted to with this information and she pointed to Hanson and said " Mike, I want you to call Maria and tell her to come here because it way too dangerous for both of you to meet at her house again, especially since it's so close to FOT. She said Troy knew about a lot Franklin's business and financials, I want to know what he told her about them. Then, I want you go back to Troy's apartment with Henry and just look over the evidence and his place again…just to see if we missed anything with the stuff we know now."

Hanson nodded and said " Jo, that's good plan but there is something else you should know."

Jo said curiously "And that is?"

" When I was setting up the bug in Reece's office, I did a little digging in there and I found this list she wrote." Hanson said as he gave the list to Jo.

Jo looked at the list and saw that Reece was trying to figure out who was setting her up and who was the one leaking info to the Shadow gang.

Then Jo saw the name Mack Stevens and said " Mack Stevens, I wonder if Reece contacted him yet?

Hanson shrugged and said " I have no clue but I was thinking maybe that's how she got killed if she did."

Jo nodded in agreement and then said " Yes, could be and I will try to find a way to contact Stevens tomorrow."

Lock cleared his throat and said " Reece didn't die from contacting anyone, the Spanish Shadow just took her out because they wanted to rule the station and they put Potter in charge. They didn't even know if she was looking into your case."

" POTTER! Ok, so they just offed her but what did the morgue find from her body about how she died?" Jo said surprised as she was sitting straight up in the bed.

All four men gulped and then Lucas in a petrified tone said " I guess, it's my time to talk now."

Jo laughed and said " Yes, Lucas let's have the results."

Lucas said in a scared tone " Well, she had an bruised rib cage and her shoulder blade was separated. Reece was poisoned and she skin under her nails which the DNA was a match to Marcus."

Jo then knew why Lucas was so scared telling the results and she shouted " MARCUS" In a surprised tone.

Jo then angrily struck her hand down on the bed and said angrily " They are always one step ahead, freaking always."

Then Henry, grabbed her hand and said " Jo watch, you do not want injury something else."

Jo knew Henry was right but she grabbed her hand and said " Yes, Henry I know."

She then went back to the news Lucas she just told her and said " They planned this all along, they must of taken several samples of Marcus DNA when they killed him and had to plan to frame me and then kill Reece."

" The only thing I do not get is, the timeline doesn't fit and it is a fact that she was alive and well before Marcus died. We have people that can prove that." Jo said in a frustrating tone.

Henry who was still sitting on the bed next to Jo, said to her " Look Jo, first we know they can forge documents, pictures and anything else they want to fit that timeline. Plus, they already did that with you and it doesn't matter if we have witnesses because the Shadow gang will just off them too."

Jo said calmly " You are right Henry, especially because Potter is in charge…there will be a lot corrupt things happening."

Then in a serious tone, Jo said " Mike, it might get really dangerous in the precinct but do not quit, let them fire you. We do not need them to know you are digging up stuff about the Shadow's operations."

Hanson nodded and said " I got you, Jo."

" Hey you five case hunters, are you ready to eat because dinner is ready." Dr. Moore said as she walked in to Jo's room.

All of them nodded and said yes, which made Dr. Moore laugh.

Dr. Moore then grabbed Jo's wheelchair and helped her in it and said " Then, lets head to the kitchen."

Then all four guys rushed to the kitchen and sat down at the table as Dr. Moore wheeled Jo to the table and said " Well, today it is just spaghetti and meatballs but I hope you five enjoy it."

Dr. Moore saw the five of them just wolfing down the food and said with a laughter " Hey, the food is not going anywhere slow down you five."

All of them looked at Dr. Moore and said in almost unison with food in their mouth " It's good."

Dr. Moore chuckled with a smile and said " I'm glad."

Lucas and Lock then let out a big belch and the whole table just looked at those two with the fiercest side eye one could give.

" What? It means we enjoyed it." Lock said with a smile on his face.

Lucas nodded in agreement.

" Riggghht." Henry said as he was disgusted by what he just saw.

"Alright, you five if you need me, I will be in the living room." Dr. Moore said as she walked out of the kitchen.

" Look Mike, I still want you talk more to Maria and figure what more she knows about Franklin's businesses and finances. Also, I want you still to go over to Troy's place with Henry and look at all the evidence and just see if we missed anything." Jo said seriously.

Jo continued " I will look up Reece's FBI friend tomorrow and see how to contact him. Plus, we have to look into the companies donating to Franklin's campaign and who has donated to FOT. Also, so who has donated to the current mayor and Governor's past runs."

Lucas who was done his dinner said " What do you want Lock and I to do?"

Jo responded "Honestly, go back to the hotel in Jersey and continue as normal. I will try to figure something out for you guys but for now….I have nothing for you two."

Lock then smiled and said " Alright, Lucas we binge watching Scandal then!"

Lock got up and then pulled Lucas up and continued "We gotta get snacks first."

Lucas just followed Lock out the door as the other three just let out laugh at what they just saw.

As she finished her dinner, Jo said " This all starts tomorrow, so rest up you two."

Hanson just nodded and Henry said alright as he slurped his last noodle.

" Are you Lucas and Lock now?"Jo said as she glared at Henry.

" Heyyyy, c'mon now." Henry said sarcastically.
