PART 2.
NYC FBI MISSING PERSONS DEPARTMENT OFFICE.
16:35.
SEPTEMBER 10, 2004.
5 HOURS SINCE DESAPPEARANCE.
The Unit is in front of the white board, trying to reconstruct the DOD.
"Sam, tell me about them." Jack says.
"Luke Jacob Grillows, 35, resident physician in the Emergency Room of the New York Memorial Hospital. Lives alone in a flat in Soho. Last seen today, at 11:35 PM, by a colleague, Dr. James Arman, seemingly in a bad mood for personal reasons. Reported missing by Dr. Arman, after he found out Luke never made it to home."
Jack made a diagonal line extending from Luke's DOD line: he wrote LEFT WORKPLACE, and at the base he wrote 11:35 AM.
Then she began talking about the other "Donald Sean Grillows, 35, lawyer at Rodham, Myers and Grillows, recently made partner. Last seen walking to the vending machines at 11:35 AM by a colleague, Milly Sumpter, which was second-chair in the case he was on that morning. Called in to report him missing after he didn't show up after the break."
Jack made another diagonal line, this time from Don's DOD line: at the base he wrote 11:35 AM, and on it he wrote GONE TO VENDING MACHINES.
"He, too, lives in Soho, in an apartment which is in the same building of his brothers' one."
"You mean brother's." Jack interjected.
"No, brothers'." Sam replied. "They were triplets; Luke, Donald, and Joel, who died in the terrorist attacks of September 11th, 2001. Joel and Luke lived together, to share the rent, I think."
"Vivian?" Jack then asked.
"Nil from the morgues, nil from the hospitals. No Luke Grillows, no Donald Grillows, and no John Does."
"What about the witnesses?"
"Dr. Arman is clean. And so is Ms. Sumpter."
"Found anything?" Jack then asked Martin, who was rummaging through the two men's computers.
"Well... there is somebody, a certain Ms. YouknowwhoIam, who wrote Luke Grillows some vicious mail." the younger man answered. "This one arrived the day before the desappearance, 9:05 PM."
And he gave Jack the printed e-mail.
It was all written in capital letters, which meant screaming, and said "You are going to get your punishment for what you did to me, and I'll be glad when I'll see your coffin being lowered into the ground." No signature.
"Well, that can be the reason for Mr. Grillows' desappearance." Jack said, marking the event on Luke's DOD line. "Can you find out something about that account?"
"I'll try." he said getting back to work.
It wasn't a big lead, but it was the only one they had.
