Hiram Yung was a scrawny Kid only 5'6" in height but he had a bad attitude one which Kate was going to fix right now.
Kate entered the Arena. It was her show and being back in her house. She was ready for battle.
"The poor punk will not know what hit him." Rick said to Merri while observing by leaning against the table in the observation room.
"Merri you are in for a treat just watch how quick my Detective decimates this punk. Normally I would be in there with her but since you are here I thought you would appreciate my color commentary." Rick said.
"Good ol' Ricky some things never change. That is a good thing too." Merri said.
"So Hiram I am Detective Kate Becket" Kate said as she dropped the pictures of the deceased in front of him one by one.
"Do you know these men? No? Well I will tell you. Your DNA was on all the victims. So you want to try again?" Kate taunted.
"Yes I knew them they were at the clinic." He said.
"Yes the clinic where you worked up 'til 3 days ago." Kate said. "It is also where you stole the vials of Scopolamine. Our ME reports has concluded that the drugs in the vials match the drugs in their system." Kate said.
"Look how she is toying with him. Making him feel the heat." Rick said.
Merri just nodded. He had been in many interrogations but Kate was a thing of beauty.
Hiram looked at Kate like he was defiant.
"You killed these three American Heroes for What? Did she promise you money? Trips? Or herself?" Kate said. "You are going down for it all unless you make a deal. Time is a wasting."
Kate slammed her hands on the table and gave it a little shove. That unnerved the suspect.
See what she did there? She forced the subject of his comfort zone. Rick said. "Now watch her go for the kill."
"I want a…" Hiram started to say but Kate cut him off.
"You finish that sentence then special circumstance will be brought. You will die by the needle. But if you co operate and tell me where your girl friend and her crew is maybe you'll get out in 20 years. You are still young what would you be 54 Still young enough not to waste all your life. So tell me Where is she!" Kate said.
Hiram head slumpt to his chest then he his shoulders drooped. He looked up a Kate standing erect and proud the he spoke.
"See that droop of the shoulders and how he won't look her in the eye she got him!" Rick proudly said.
"I want to make a deal!" he said in a small voice.
"Good you tell me what I want to know and I'll put in a good word for you with the DA." Kate said triumphantly.
Hiram being broken dropped his head in shame.
Espo came in with paper and pencil
Hiram wrote his confession.

"Did you see her? She lined him up with Motive, Opportunity and Weapon. Text book case" Rick said proudly.
"I see what you mean Ricky she is a natural in that room." Merri said.
The door knocked. Rick answered it was Ryan.
"Come on we have a location." Ryan said to the two men.
The discussion with Tactical was long but finally they had it down. It was at the docks. A warehouse held the crew and Special Agent Borm was given a phone call.
Merri looked disturbed Rick was noticing right away.
"Merri what is wrong?" Rick asked.
"The German Gov't has requested the Gold to be shipped by truck to the port then to be loaded on the Freighter Das Gruppen. Guess where that freighter is docked?" Merri said.
"No it can not be! At our Ambush? No" Kate screamed.
"Yes we need to get there to divert that truck!" Merri said.
"Tactical was alerted we are on the way." Kate said.
Merri was rebuffed by his superiors but he did get the name of the Trucking company and the cargo container number.
The cars rushed through the gates at the terminal with lights flashing.

Inside the Warehouse they were getting ready to attack the gold again. A SUV had been boosted and it was primed to go. The doors of the ware house were opened and the SUV would move as soon as the container carrying the gold was in sight.
Tactical was alerted that they were coming.
The crew saw the Tactical and started shooting at them.
3 of the crew were down only one person left and the woman who started this all.
She got hit in the leg and dropped the phone she was crawling toward the phone when the last defender got hit.
Outside the warehouse the Truck with the Gold had stopped exactly in front of the opening at the warehouse.
Truck driver got out. Rick was running and yelling. The Driver who did not speak English ignored him and walked away.
Rick seeing the man walking away jumped into the Cab and fired up the Truck. It started to move.
In the warehouse Tactical was advancing the woman could see the trailer and reached out and pressed the button she pulled out a pistol and was shot dead.
The Truck moved forward out of the sight of the SUV. Rick was giving it all it could give and it started to move. The back of the Trailer had just cleared the edge of the direct path from the SUV.
Inside the warehouse tactical was next to the SUV when it roared to life and shot out of the warehouse.
Kate watched mesmerized as the trailer end barely cleared when the SUV came roaring out of the warehouse doors.
Rick unaware kept the pedal to the metal with the engine screaming and almost at red line.
Kate saw the SUV miss the trailing edge of the trailer then went sailing into the air about 150 yards out it exploded then sank in the River. The Fireball was immense.
Kate was thrown to the ground from the concussion of the explosion. She could feel the heated air rush over her.
Rick pulled the truck up and shut off the engine. Still unaware of what happened behind him.
Kate got up then ran to the cab. She grabbed Rick out as he was stepping down then kissed and hugged him.
"Rick what was it that you thinking?" Kate said kissing him again and again.
The crime scene was a mess but eventually the container was loaded. Kate and Rick saw the ship sail away.
"Rick I have to hand it to you man you are Derrick Storm!" Merri said as he shook his hand and left.
Kate just hugged him.
Once the scene was secure Kate and Rick walked away and sat down.
The gold was safe.
The economy of Germany was safe and the members of car ring were killed in the shoot out with tactical.
A SWAT member recovered the iPhone with the deadly app. A bloody fingerprint was on the screen. He handed it to Kate where she was sitting. Kate looked at it. Such an innocent looking device caused all this. She pocketed it then spoke.
"Let's go home Rick" Kate said as they exited the scene.
