"And he beheaded the pigeon in his kitchen" Monk added.

"How can you know that?"

"Like you said, those are expensive knives. That's where they would be kept." Monk added. "You must have been followed."

"What if whoever did this tries something on Don or dad?" Charlie began to muse to himself in an agitated state. As a result, he hung up on the sleuth, who had more to say, and called his brother.

"Agent Eppes?" Don automatically answered the phone.

"Are you and dad okay?"

"Yeah we're fine" He tried to calm Charlie down. "What's going on buddy?"

"Someone sent me a dead pigeon's head." The professor said. "It might be related to my working for IBG"

"Did you call the police?" Don cursed himself for not taking Charlie's investigation more seriously.

"Yeah."

"I need you to quit and come back home. I'll look into this." The agent's worry could be heard in his voice.

"I can't lead whoever did this to dad!" his agitation made him speak quite fast. "And that person could ….."

"Take a deep breath" Don advised. "I'll be on the next plane."

Meanwhile, Natalie somehow talked Monk into going to New York.
