Chapter 25 - Agent Stewart

Agent Stewart had arrived at the agency that morning and was summoned into Billy's office. Billy asked him to go meet up with Officer Rogers at this house to see if he could shed light on who might be the informant within the Federal Prison. Agent Stewart had been with the agency for just over 5 years. He was still working his way to being considered of value at the agency as it took a while sometimes to get the right case so you would be acknowledged by the higher ups when you closed out a case. He had a lot of respect for Scarecrow because he had gotten to that level pretty quickly. Life was different for Scarecrow though since he was a single, reckless kind of guy. He had gone out a few times with Lee to have drinks after a tough case and found him to be a lot of fun but also daring. Agent Stewart had a beautiful wife at home along with a 3 year old baby girl. He always tried to air on the side of caution when handling a case.

As he headed to the Officer's house, he didn't really feel anything bad could happen. This was a police officer and much like the agency guys, they had an oath and a pledge and believed in doing the right thing. He felt this was more of a formality than anything else. If it was really serious, Scarecrow would be doing it after all. When he arrived at the correct address, he noticed right away that there was a blue Ford truck parked in the driveway. He went up to the house door and knocked on it. There was no answer so he knocked a little louder. He could hear some shuffling going on inside so he decided to let the Officer know who he was. "Officer Rogers? This is Agent Steward from the Agency. I need to ask you a few questions please."

A few seconds passed by and still no one came to the door. Agent Stewart was becoming impatient now so he knocked louder and said "Look, I know you are in there. I don't care if you are sick or not, I'm not here to check up on you. I just need to ask a few questions."

He heard movement near the door and then suddenly the door was wide open. He looked inside but didn't see any humans standing there. Now he was becoming a little nervous but before he could pull his gun out of his belt, he noticed the assault rifle that was pointed at his face. He put his hands up and walked inside. The door was closed behind him and suddenly his whole world went dark.
