Chapter 23:
Sam sat at her desk, chewing at a pencil and was scanning through the few pieces of information they had found out about Brook's accomplice. It wasn't enough to get a hold on him. Even if they desperately wished for it. He just hoped Jack had been right with his suspicion and Danny and Andrea really were up there near the Canadian border. And she wished even more desperately for them to arrive there in time. She winced when the phone on her desk started ringing. She completely had been lost in thought.
"Hello?"
She answered the phone in a questioning tone. She was that much in thought, that she didn't even manage to state her name. She was just about to do it now, when she received an answer from the other end of the line.
"Sam, this is Jack. We found them..."
Sam breathed in deeply, looked at Vivian and raised her thumb. She could see Vivian sigh too.
"How are they?"
Vivian had stepped to Sam's desk and she held the phone in a way that Vivian could also hear Jack's answer.
"We haven't found Andrea yet, she is hiding. But we know where she is and as far as we know – she isn't injured."
"And Danny?"
Sam sounded afraid and Jack keeping silent didn't make it any easier for her not to.
"It doesn't look so good. Brooks attacked him. He's severely injured and has lost a lot of blood. The medics are treating him right now. I'll drive to the hospital as soon as we've found Andrea."
"Do you believe he'll make it?"
She sounded tensed and there was silence again for a moment.
"I don't know, Sam. I don't know. Maybe you two should come up here."
"Okay."
"I'll call you as soon as there are any news."
Sam hung up the phone and looked at Vivian.
"I think we better should hurry." She stated. Jack, the way he had been talking to her, had scared her. This was pretty serious – damn serious.
