"Joe, are you even listening to me? Or are you being childish and just ignoring me?" Joe could hear the demand in Frank's voice and knew he had to answer.

"I'm ignoring you in favor of noticing that we have a case and that every picture on this wall is no more than 3 years old. And that Jonas told me that the cabin has been in the family since his father was a kid."

Joe waited for that revelation to hit Frank.

"What?" Joe heard him get up from the table and stand next to him. "Your right."

Joe started to look around the room with a critical eye armed with this new knowledge. There was nothing out of the ordinary but nothing seemed loved. Everything seemed fairly new.

Joe looked at Frank with unmasked fear in his eyes. "Frank, someone went to a lot of trouble to get us here."

Frank looked around the room, his face still skeptical. "I don't know Joe, this seems more then a lot of trouble, if they wanted us here. It would have taken years of planning. Your roommate, Jonas, would some how have to be involved. Even the rangers, if we go along with your feelings."

"But Frank, this feel like it's the answer. I'm not sure how, or who is involved, but I know its right!" Joe's mind was reeling. There was so much to consider with this new information. And it added so many new people to the suspect list.

"If there was someone out there wanting us this badly, then we need to figure out who it is. But it seems to elaborate to be one person Joe." Frank was still doubt full. Joe was relieved that even though Frank was voicing a devils advocate he was still moving back to his laptop to work on the problem.

"I don't want to say it but," Joe paused. Taking a deep breath, not sure if he was ready for Frank's response, "Could it be the assassin's?" "Joe tried to judge Frank's carefully schooled face. "They are the only ones with the means to pull this off."

"But do they really have the motive?"

"We have been a thorn in their side since we were teens, Frank. They have tried to kill us numerous times."

"That's just it though. They usually wait until they find out we are involved, and then they try to blow us up, or shoot us. They have never come after us and this is…well. It's almost over whelming."

"But, if its' not them who could it be. Someone we don't know after Dad? Maybe we should call dad and see if he has had any threats?"

Joe watched as Frank took a deep breath. "Maybe we are reading too much into this Joe. Maybe they only keep a few things here at a time, because of the break-ins'. Maybe, they change the pictures often, for the same reason, so they don't lose too much stuff."

Joe had to concede that Frank's theory could be right.

Then Frank surprised him. "There isn't a reason that we can't check out all leads, though. That means that before we call dad we need to check into your roommate and his family, and I think we need to make a suspect list, with everyone on it. I'm not saying I agree with you, little brother, but I think it's been a little unusual around here and we should check all possibilities."

Joe smiled at that. So they had a plan to work on and it was going to take them into a good chunk into the night to see it through.
