Cruz looked to Sully as he spoke and he just offered a shrug. "So you think we may have something considering we both found that name."

"I'd rule out one big coincidence," Davis commented quietly.

"This is something," Bosco said feeling a surge of energy at this information. "The jag-off screwed up." He actually let out a laugh that helped relieved some of the stress he had been feeling. "Who'd have thought UPS was good for something."

"Hold on a second," Swersky said finally speaking and holding up his hands for silence. "We don't know that the two are related if at all."

"It's worth checking out sir." Bosco stopped short of begging on his knees. "Can't deny that." He looked to Cruz, hoping for some back up on this. She looked away from him to Swersky.

"I think he's got a point boss," she replied with a small nod, tapping the file against her leg. "I'll get a team together and we'll go investigate. He'll see the uniforms coming a mile off."

Not exactly what Bosco was expecting, but hell he couldn't even fault it. He knew Cruz was right about the situation. Again. He glanced to Silly and Davis who had the same grim looks on their faces, in all truth this should have been their lead and it was being handed over to anti-crimes. Why should they care? This was not about gaining points. It was about finding Faith. Safe and sound. Swersky was in deep consideration; he folded his arms then glanced to Cruz.

"Get a team together."

Faith stirred once more, not this time from a nightmare but hunger. Her stomach complained with a noisy growl, reminding her that she hadn't eaten for a good while. She hadn't realised that the time had passed so quickly. "How time flies when you're stuck in a box," she commented dryly as she turned over and searched round for the candy bars. She wrapped her fingers around one, bringing it up to her chest and began unwrapping it. Faith hadn't turned on the light so she had no idea what it was but she didn't care as long as it was edible.

The noise of the wrapper was the only thing that broke the intense silence that surrounded her; she unwrapped it and took a bite. She frowned at first as she tried to recall the flavour, the texture. Chocolate and caramel. Whatever it was, it was darn good and she found herself reaching for another bar and quickly consumed that one. Faith stopped herself there; not knowing how much longer she would be in this "capsule." Moving herself round, she reached for the tube and took another small sip of water to help wash down her meal then blew into the tube once she was finished.

Now she knew how caged animals felt, Faith turned on the light and took another look round. There was nothing else to do now but sit and wait. Wait for what though? For someone to come rescue her? For the people holding her against her will to kill her because the ransom hadn't been paid? For the capsule to cave in and cover her with dirt and water and a whole matter of nasty things? "Yokas," she muttered. "Get a grip."

Faith frowned and the tranquillisers caught her eye once more. She shrugged her shoulders as best she could and unscrewed the cap, shaking two more pills out in the palm of her shaking hand and popping them into her mouth. Then she used the water to wash them down to save herself from the bitter after taste. She lay back down and switched the light off, rolling onto her side in an attempt to become comfortable.

After all, what did she have to lose?
