8.00 u: Jack:

While Danny was driving to the university, where we were going to talk to professor Lutkin, my cell phone suddenly rang.

"Malone."

"Jack, you told me that I should call you." I heard Sam say, and while I had mentally prepared myself to yell at her, I thought that maybe it wasn't such a good idea, first we were talking through phone, and second even I had noticed her behaviour yesterday and I thought she had enough problems as it was. So I just went silent.

"I'm sorry I'm late, you are not going to believe this, but I actually forgot to put my alarmclock." As stupid as it was, it was most probable that even she wouldn't invent something stupid like that so I got the tendency to believe her.

"Yeah well, call next time, you know I hate late arriving agents."

"No problem, so what is it with me going to Jack's company?" She asked, as Danny had finally noticed it was Sam, and was throwing me some questioning looks.

"Find out, if there was any trouble between Jack and his father, check out all his appointments that went bad, and search for all employees with a criminal record."

"Sure. Again sorry I'm late."

"Yeah." I said as I hung up. Danny was still sending me some questioning looks, but he knew as well as I did, that I wouldn't, couldn't answer them.

Finally Danny and me arrived at the university, I still hadn't told Danny what we were doing, and I could see that he was getting more inpatient every minute.

"Jack was nominated for best manager of the year last year, but he was disqualified. We're going to talk to professor Lutkin. He was one of the jury members, and he was the one who disqualified Jack." Danny threw me one of his famous and-why-didn't-you-say-that-before looks, as we entered the university quickly finding professor Lutkin as he was at the same time exiting the university ready to go.

"Professor Lutkin?"

"Who's asking?" The man said with a high and such a professional tone, that I already disliked him.

"We're with the FBI, I'm Special agent Malone, and this is Special agent Taylor, we're here to ask you some questions considering Jack Harrison."

The man's face dropped from nice smile to complete hatred, maybe that was a bit excessive but it was more then just a mad look, when he heard us say Jack's name.

"What about him?"

"We'd just like to ask you some questions about him, and about his disqualification from best manager last year." Danny said.

"As I have already told many people, I am not allowed to tell that." The man said. I threw Danny a small smile, as I had noticed he just like me wasn't very fond of the guy. He was just some smartass who thought he was better than other people.

"Look, professor, Jack Harrison is missing for 32 hours. We'd really like to hear some answers, you can as well answer them at the office, but then everybody around here, has to watch how we handcuff you, and I must say, that is really bad for your reputation. You have a choice."

The man's face formed in a fake nervous smile as he lead us to a place less crowded.

"It's really simple, the guy slept with one of the jury members. And we couldn't possibly throw her out of the jury, so he was disqualified."

"Can we have her name and address please?" I sighed.

"Yeah sure." The man said, as my cell phone suddenly rang.

"Malone." I said as I had walked away from Danny and the professor.

"Jack, we have a match from our sketch." I heard Viv say.

"And?"

"His name's Stephan Allen and he works for George Finn."

"Ok, send Martin and Sam to pick him up. And let them make sure, that George sees it."

"Ok." She said as she hung up, while I walked back to Danny, the professor had already left.

"Her name's Valerie Lombardia." He said, sighing a bit as he said it.

"Lombardia as in James Lombardia?"

"Yes, She's his sister." Great, having the Lombardias messed with this case, was not exactly what we needed.
