Chapter 6:
When Jack got back to the precinct, He saw the others were back as well. He collected his thoughts as he stripped off his tactical gear and placed his Recce 16 in a hard sided foam lined Pelican Storm case and placed them in the built-in equipment storage locker in the rear of his Escalade then stepped inside.

Olivia glanced up as Jack entered the squad room and said, "We forced them to give us every single photo, negative and digital copy they had."
Jack was highly impressed as he asked, "How did you do that?"
Mark replied, "A federal judge owed me a favor."
Jack smirked as Elliot growled, "We still don't know who hired Raines and his hired guns."
Jack said, "We will have patience."
Elliot glared at his younger brother as he said, "We brought Raines and Dean in. There was no sign of Weston."
Jack said, "You really expected am ex spook to be easy to find. What are you new?"
Everyone with the exception of Elliot chuckled. Olivia; being an expert on defusing potential fights between her husband an ex-partner/brother-in-law asked, "Can you find him Jack?"
Jack knew what his wife was doing; he smirked as he said, "I know a couple places I could check. Then he barked, "Mike Fin with me."
They both nodded. He fixed Elliot with a hard look and said, "I want those two broke by the time we get back."
Elliot snarked, "I'll get right on that."
Jack; sensing his older brother's anger said, "We need these two to talk so do what you're the best at and get these pricks to talk."
Elliot knew his brother was trying to mollify him and make peace; he said, "I'll break them."
Then he continued in a lighthearted voice, "Bet the Marine will be the toughest."
Jack snorted as he fired back in a sarcastic voice, "Please; just give the jarhead colors and a coloring book and he'll break."
Elliot had a full-blown grin on his face as he quipped, "Yea cuz SEALs are so tough."
Jack chuckled as he said, "Change of plans; Mike you and Fin stay here and help Mark break those two pricks; come on jarhead you're riding shotgun."
Elliot nodded gratefully. As they went to leave Olivia snagged his arm and pulled him in for a tight embrace. He held her in his arms as she said, "That was a really nice thing you did."
He gave her his trademark crooked grin as he said, "It's his family being threatened too. So, I thought the Stabler boys should go hunting."
Olivia smirked; she knew what Jack meant. He a former DEVGRU sniper and Elliot a former Recon Marine hunting for Weston and Jibril bin Khalid. She said, "Just be careful you hear me Navy SEAL. You get killed I'll kill you."
He chuckled as he placed a fiery kiss om her mouth then said, "You got it boss."
He stepped back and said as thy left, "I love you."
She replied in kind and they were gone.

Jack lit a Parodi when Elliot asked, "What's our first move?"
Jack replied as he cracked the window, "I know a guy that might have a kine on Weston."
Elliot asked, "Who?"
Jack replied as he clamped his Parodi in his teeth, "Weston's brother-in-law. His name is Steve Collins. Weston's married to his sister Rita."
Elliot asked, "You really think he'll talk?"
Jack replied as he inhaled deeply on his Parodi, "Yea."
Elliot asked, "What makes you so sure?"
Jack cracked a grin as he said, "You see Steve Collins is an agent with the DEA but what the DEA has no idea about is the fact that Collins is a Crystal dealer; a major one in point of fact. I know all of this because back in 2018 while I was searching for the terrorist scumbag that released Sarin in the subway."
Elliot said, "I remember that; you killed him didn't you."
Jack nodded as he said, "Yep."
When they pulled up to Collins's house Jack said, "Follow my lead yea."
Elliot nodded as they approached the house.
