Chapter 8:
FBI, missing persons unit
10.30 hours missing
Jack, Samantha and Martin were around the conference table, debating on where Yan Kingsley could be.
-The problem is that we don't have even a little idea where he could be, Samantha said.
-He maybe left the city, Martin proposed.
-Yeah maybe… Jack said a bit absent-mindedly.
He looked at his watch, and turned to look at Sam and Martin.
-What is Danny doing ? Jack said, worried. He should have call us.
Then his cellphone rang, Sam and Martin looked at him and Jack took it.
-Malone, he said.
-A…agent Malone… a shaky voice said at the end of the line.
-Mr.Davies ?
Martin and Samantha looked at each other, asking themselves why it was Mr.Davies who call them and not Danny.
-Yeah, it's me…
-Why isn't Danny who call ?
-That was what I was gonna tell you.
-So go on, Jack said, fear growing inside him.
-I...I don't know how it happen and who did it…
Then he paused.
-What are you talking about ? Jack asked.
-Agent Taylor was sh.. shot in the museum, I…I don't know how it—
-What! Jack practically shouted while interrupting Mr.Davies. How is he ? Where is he?
Martin and Sam saw concern on Jack's face and started to be worried about what was going on.
-He's in hospital, at Lenox Hill Hospital…
-Okay, Jack said, while breathing loudly, and trying to stay calm. And where are you?
-I… I'm still in the Metropolitan Museum…
-Stay here I'm gonna come okay… Stay calm…
Then he hung up and turned to look at Martin and Samantha who were verry worried. Silence felt between them but was soon broke by Sam, she know that there was something wrong and couldn't wait to know what.
-Jack ? What's going on ? Samantha said half wanting to know half refusing to hear what Jack was going to say.
-It's about Danny…
He paused and took a deep breath.
-He was shot and he's in hospital, Jack said while trying to control his emotion.
Martin's and Samantha's jaws dropped open at this news, and assimilating hard the news.
-I want you two, to go to the Lenox Hill hospital and see how is Danny, I'm gonna go to the Metropolitan Museum, Jack said braking the other silence that had felt.
They nodded, took their coats in a hurry and ran towards the elevator. It was like a nightmare, Samantha and Martin practically thought that it was a gag. They were all in deep thought when the elevator stopped and took them off of their thoughts.
Lenox Hill Hospital
11 hours missing
Sam and Martin ran in the hospital, completely lost. Fortunately a nurse ask them if they were okay and what they were looking for.
-We're searching our co-worker, he was admitted here about an hour ago, Martin said.
-What's his name ? the nurse asked them while looking in the computer database.
-Danny, Danny Taylor, Samantha said.
The nurse search for about 2 minutes and finally find him.
-He's in surgery, you must wait in the waiting room. The doctor will come to tell you how he is.
-How long must we wait ? Martin asked.
-About 3 hours, the nurse said with a compassionate voice.
She smiled at them and left them. Martin and Samantha sat on a bench among lots of other people waiting for a doctor.
During this time
Metropolitan Museum
Jack got out of his car, while looking at the building. Polices car were in front of the building and he could see that policemen were inside it, investigating. Jack took a deep breath and walked towards the museum. The wind was getting more and more stronger, and it started to be a bit difficult for him to walk but finally managed to arrive. When he entered he saw at first policemen around a big pool of blood, Danny's blood. He stared at the pool, feeling very weird, what he was feeling was indescribable, a mix of shock, sadness and worried. He thought about how Danny felt at that moment when he got shot, how it had been painful and scary for him. Then he noticed Charlies Davies sitting on a seat, completely shocked. He walked towards him and put a hand on his shoulder.
-Oh… A…agent Malone, Mr.Davies said.
-What happened ? Jack asked.
-We were in my office, and I thought that I should buy some coffee because it was gonna take me some time. So I went to a bar near here and came back. And... and when I came back I... I saw him, lying in his blood... Charlies said with difficulty while thinking about that again. All this pain in his eyes... It was simply awful...
Then a big silence felt between them and Charlies Davies raised his head towards Jack.
-He put a box on my desk in my office, Mr.Davies said while showing his office's door.
Jack nodded and walked towards the door. He opened it and saw a box on the desk. He opened it and looked in it...
