Just to tie up the loose end ...


Epilogue

"Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State's failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community." HG Wells

Things were back to normal at the Warehouse or as close as they could get to normal. The agents joined Helena as she made her court appearance for her suspended license hearing. Mrs. Frederic had seen to it that the Warehouse lawyer was in attendance to handle the matter of Charles' disorderly conduct.

"Your honor, on the docket today is Agent Helena Wells, who has completed her defensive driving course online and has presented her certificate of completion and is ready to pay all fines and court fees," the prosecutor said.

The judge looked over the points and citations. "Take it easy out there, please Agent Wells. You're supposed to protect the general public, not use them as hood ornaments," the Judge said and reinstated her license.

Then he picked up the next case. "And I assume this is a relative of yours?" he asked Helena.

Helena had been instructed by Mrs. Frederic herself not to say a word and to allow Mr. Ryan, the official Warehouse lawyer, to explain everything.

"And where is Mr. Wells?" the judge asked because there were very few people in Univille's court this morning.

"You Honor, Mike Ryan for the defendant. We ask the court's indulgence, your Honor, as Charles Wells has been deported by the State Department," the lawyer said and produced documents.

"Doesn't he mean transported?" Pete said with his hand over his mouth.

"Terror risk?" the Judge asked.

"Only to his sister," Pete answered but only to Myka.

He still found it curious that Charles never did pull that prank on his sister. He missed a great opportunity, Pete thought. Helena would have disagreed.

"No your honor, Mr. Wells was here without the proper documents, " the lawyer explained.

The only person who thought this was odd was the Sergeant who had witnessed the siblings fighting in his cell. He had warned Helena that if anything happened to Charles, she would be the first person he suspected. Now the man had disappeared? He was going to make sure to keep an eye on her.
