Davis put his foot down to make good time as he and Sully sped to the scene of the crash. He swerved a corner then regained control of the wheel, while Sully watched him completely unfazed and unnerved. He'd had his own share of bad driving through his years as a cop, and this was no different. "So?" Davis asked not taking his eyes off the road.

"So."

"You think that this could be connected to Faith's case?" Davis asked as he ran a red light.

"Could. Probably. Maybe," Sully answered frustrated. "There's too many of those kinda words flying about."

"I hear you Sul," Davis replied with a small shake of the head. "But if it is, this could be a breakthrough man. Help us find Faith."

"It could also be a UPS van that got run off the road in order for someone to get their hands on the goods," Sully countered bracing his hand again the dashboard as Davis took a right turn. "It's not unheard of."

"So why take the uniform?" Davis enquired glancing to his partner.

"I dunno." Sully gave a half-hearted shrug. "Maybe someone who likes dressing in that kind of get up?"

"That's just twisted man," Davis said grimacing.

"You didn't say it had to be a sane reason," was all Sully answered.

Cruz sat back in her seat and put her legs up on her desk, crossing her legs at the ankle and glancing out everyone few seconds. She was in the middle of a conversation with one of her many contacts, trying to pull some strings. Get some information. She wrote another name on the small cream pad that she had on her lap. "Uh huh," she said not too enthusiastically. "And do you think this guy could be capable of this action?"

A moment paused as the speaker on the other end of line continued.

"No it's something all right." A beat. "It's just some case that I needed some help with." Another comment and she smiled. "I allow help every now and then. I know I like to handle myself most of the time." Cruz let out a strangled laugh. "Yeah sure. Thanks." With that, she hung up and sat up. Placing both feet firmly on the floor and the pad on the desk.

She rested her head on her right hand, tapping the pad with the pen and making clucking noises with her tongue.

The FDNY were already on the scene when Sully and Davis arrived, he slowed the car and it finally came to a halt. "Man they weren't kidding when they said it was crashed." Sully swung the door open and climbed out. "Doc?"

Monte "Doc" Parker appeared from behind one of the buses with a bag full of all the medical supplies he'd require for treatment. The paramedic was looking very pensive, as was usual when he was out on a shout. "We're in the middle of treating the driver," he replied as he carried on walking.

"How's he doing?" Davis asked following him to the van.

"He's unresponsive," Doc answered. "Apart from that his vitals look good."

They reached the van; Davis glanced in to see him stripped down to a t-shirt and underpants. Carlos Nieto was leaning over him and talking to him, trying to get a response. "Have you found out who this guy is?" Carlos asked turning to them.

"Yeah Phillip Chapel," Sully answered putting his hands in his pockets. "He's an employee with UPS. Has been for 7 years."

"Any medical history we should know about?" Doc asked seriously.

"There wasn't anything mentioned."

"Is he going to be all right?" Davis asked.

"Johnson thinks there should be a way to cut him out, he's wedged in there tight as you can see." Doc shook his head slowly. "We have him stabilised for the time being." Davis gave a small nod then looked back to Sully who was eyeing the passenger's side with interest.

"Sul?"

Sully ignored him as he walked round and picked up a clipboard, flicking through the pages. His mind at work. Davis looked over his shoulder. "Whatcha got there?"

"Delivery manifest," Sully answered not looking up then letting the papers drop back down to the first one. "Here's the last place he delivered to." Sully handed Davis the clipboard so he could take a look for himself.

"And you think what, whoever he last delivered to did this?"

"I'd say it's a possibility."

Davis straightened up slightly. "I say we get to it then."
