Part II: Confrontations
Jack and Anna look at each other for a few more seconds, not sure that they should answer, before Anna slowly picks it up.
" Hello?" She says hesitantly.
The line stays silent for a few seconds before the voice on the other end finally speaks. " Chief Devane?"
" Yes, who is this?"
" That's not important." The man tells her, as he continues on. " I have information on the Hayward boy."
Anna gasps, as Jack looks at her. " Alright, what do you know?"
" I know where Vanessa is, what she wants, and where's she taking him."
Anna nods to Jack, as he gets out a pad of paper. " Please continue."
" She has him at the old airfield, you know the one just off I-86. She's got a plane stashed there, she's planning to take him to Paris."
" When…how long before she leaves?" Anna asks, not completely convinced of the volitity of the call.
" I would say, 10 maybe 15 minutes…depends how long I can stall."
" It takes at least 30 minutes to get out there."
" You better drive fast Chief." He tells her before hanging up.
" Hello, hello? Damn it." Anna says as she slams the phone down. " We have to go right now."
" We don't even know if that call was for real." Jack says.
" Do you want to risk it? I don't." She says as she puts her gun in the holster around her waist.
Jack nods hesitantly as he stands up. " Shouldn't we take backup?"
" No time." She says already half way out the door.
" Reggie you wait here. Keep the car running in case we have to make a fast getaway." Ryan tells him as Reggie climbs into the drivers seat.
" I want to come with you."
" No way." Ryan says shaking his head to drive in his point. " Jack only let you come because he thought all we were doing was looking for clues. He would kill me if he knew we here."
" I want to help." Reggie tells him.
" Ok, then as soon as we get out of sight call the PVPD. Tell them where we are, that we know where Vanessa is and that we need them here ASAP."
Reggie nods as he takes out his cell phone, " What else can I do?"
Ryan looks him in eyes, " Pray." He says quietly before turning around, " Let's go."
