Bosco reached for the remote and ejected the tape, allowing himself a moment before turning back to Sully, Davis and Swerksy. "That's damn clever," Sully finally whispered.
"Using Faith to tell us what's what," Davis commented standing up and turning to Swerksy who gave a small nod. "We'll get everyone together, get them to see this," he said motioning towards the VCR.
"I don't see what that'll accomplish," Sully said hitching his belt up. "We've got nothing to go on, they'd made sure of that. Whoever these guys are, they're good."
"They mean business," Davis answered.
Bosco who had been silent throughout the whole exchange, shocked by Faith's ordeal, finally spoke up. "The jag-offs aren't that clever."
They looked to him in question and he popped the tape back in once more, the remote still in his hand. "Come on Bosco," Davis said with a gentle tone. "Don't do this to yourself man." Bosco ignored him and hit the rewind button, the picture going in reverse quickly until he got to where he wanted it. He stopped and paused. "The gun," Bosco said pointing at it on the corner of the screen.
"What about it?" Swerksy asked obviously chomping at the bit to sort this matter out.
"Recognise it sir?" Bosco asked. All three of them took a step forward, looking closely at the paused firearm.
"Son of a bitch," Sully whispered.
Swerksy stood before most of his team, "As most of you know. Officer Faith Yokas was taken last night around 11pm in front of the precinct we believe." He handed out a dossier on her, not that they didn't need it but this was now an official investigation. "She's been missing now for eight hours, Boscorelli hear received a phone call from her husband, Fred Yokas around approximately 1.30 this morning concerning his wife's whereabouts. It was 2am when he received a call from a perpetrator claiming that he had abducted Yokas and that he wanted 50 thousand dollars for her safe return and that more information would be available soon."
Bosco stood at the back, arms folded and looking round. He knew this information already, he just wanted to get out there and find Faith. Jesus, was it so much to ask for?
"This morning," Swerksy carried on calmly. "A package was brought in by a guy wearing a UPS uniform who we know believe may have being one of the perp's involved on the account he disappeared on leaving the precinct. It was addressed to Bosco, inside was a VHS tape. No fingerprints were found on either the tape or the envelope." Whispers and mutters immediately started up, he looked round and they hushed once more. "On viewing the tape, further instructions were received. The person's responsible forced Yokas into reading out a note, there is a transcript of the note in the file. We are to take these people seriously, they mean business people."
The sound of papers rustling could be heard as he went on. "That's all we have to go on at the moment apart from one thing, the guys screwed up. During the duration of the video, Yokas was threatened by someone holding a gun to her head. It's been identified as a Smith & Wesson 64 revolver."
Once again whispers and speculation abounded the room.
"Yes I know what you're all thinking. An officially distributed firearm plus the measures taken," Swerksy said quickly raising his voice another level. "It's our belief that we are dealing with one of our own. Possibly retired. Possibly not but we are looking into it." He looked directly at Bosco who remained in the same position as he had at the start. Swersky brought it to a close.
"One of our own is missing and we're gonna make damn sure she is returned safely."
