Zander and Jack worked into the night as the members of their team brought in one by one perps in their investigation of Lorenzo Alcazar. Each one grilled by Jack and processed by Zander and another officer of the PCPD. After all 15 perps were processed and taken to holding, Jack and Zander returned to the interrogation room to compare notes.

"So .. anyone give up Lorenzo? We can't be that lucky." Zander asked as he walked into the room and closed the door behind him.

"No we're not that lucky. Ric even offered some deals and no takers. I guess they're all afraid of what Alcazar would do to them if he found out they ratted." Jack replied.

"Yeah I suppose." Zander sighed heavily, exhausted from burning the midnight oil on this case.

Zander looked up and saw Jack's wheels turning in his head, and knew what he was thinking.

"No, Jack .. don't even suggest it." Zander said as he propped his foot up on the metal chair.

"Too late." Jack replied.

"Too late for what? Don't tell me you called her?"

"We need a fresh pair of eyes, Zander .... and she can help us!"

Zander sighed in defeat. "How soon can we expect her?"

Jack smiled knowing Zander would concede eventually. "She should be here soon. She was taking the red eye out of Miami."

Zander looked down at his watch, it was almost 2am. If Lorna was taking the late flight, she should be arriving shortly. Zander ran his hand through his coal black hair and then turned towards the door.

"I gotta think ......" Zander left Jack and walked through the squad room and out onto the front steps of the PCPD.

He sat down on the steps and propped his elbows on his knees. This case had filled his mind, he and Jack couldn't get the proof they needed to bring in Lorenzo. It had been a long 4 months, longer then he had expected to be in the town he once called home. He'd be sure returning to Miami once this case was over, there was nothing holding him to stay in PC any longer then he had to.

As he sat on the front steps of the PCPD, all he could think about was the case at hand. He looked up when he heard a car pull up to the curb. The back door opened on the cab and his eyes focused on the shapely legs that emerged. He knew them all to well, as she fully emerged from the car and waited for the driver to retrieve her bags from the trunk. She fluffed her long brunette hair and adjusted her suit jacket as the driver placed her bags on the sidewalk. She paid the driver and then picked up the two bags in her hands. She looked up towards the steps and saw Zander waiting for her.

He stood up and took a few steps towards her. She walked towards the front steps and set down her bags, waiting for him to come to her. He took the last step to the side walk, and she smiled a shy hello.

"It's been a while." Lorna said as their eyes met.

"Yeah it has. How have you been?" Zander asked.

"I've been good, Zander .. how bout yourself? Still catching bad guys, I see."

"Trying to .... which is why Jack called you. He seems to think we need you."

"Oh and you don't?"

"Need your help? Well ...." he cracked a smile.

"Come on .. show me what you got." she snickered and then grabbed her bags. Zander taking them from her hands as he led the way into the PCPD.

He and Lorna walked into the squad room together, Zander setting down her bags at the first desk he had seen. Jack emerged from the interrogation room when he notice them walk in.

"Lorna, it's great to see you again ..." Jack extended his hand to her.

"Such formalities, Jack ...." Lorna replied and pulled Jack in for a friendly hug and Jack smiled.

"I take it this man you are after is a bad one?" she asked as Zander passed by her and she followed.

"Bad enough. He's running his organization up and down the eastern seaboard, and has connections in Miami, which led us here to Port Charles." Zander explained.

"And what, no proof?" she asked as Zander pulled out a chair for her to sit.

"No proof, and no one in his association is talking to us. All we got is the perp in Miami."

Jack stepped forward and laid his hand on Lorna's shoulders. "That's why we need you, my dear."

"You want me to get close to this guy?"

"Yeah, we do. We need to get the evidence to put him away for good." Jack replied in the hopes that she'd agree.

Lorna and Zander exchanged looks, his eyes filled with concern. Lorna sighed as she thought about what Jack was asking her to do.

"We'd do it ourselves, but Lorenzo knows Zander and he also has seen me, we needed a fresh face. I figured a job like this, you'd jump at it."

"You're right, it is right up my alley, Jack. What are your plans? You do have one, right?"

"Actually ... no. We were hoping with a fresh pair of eyes and a clear head, you could help us out with that too." Jack cracked a smile.

"You guys are pathetic." Lorna laughed. "You guys need a smart woman on your team to come up with strategy."

Zander walked up behind her and placed his hands on her shoulders. He leaned down to her and said ..."Seems to me we have one of those ....."

Lorna smiled. "You do now."
