Chapter 5
They'd been back at the bullpen for a little over an hour. It took some convincing, but Tina finally agreed to stay with Lucy and Levi while Sue worked with the sketch artists, trying to develop pictures of the men who'd tried to abduct them.
They'd also gotten the phone number of Ms. Roberts and called to let the woman know where Tina was. The conversation had upset Jack, because Ms. Roberts didn't seem concerned about the girl, or the fact that she'd slept in an alley last night. In fact, when Jack told her Tina would be staying with them for a few days since she was part of an investigation, the woman barely expressed any emotion and abruptly hung up. Jack could understand why Tina didn't like the woman; he really didn't like her too much at this point either.
Fortunately, Tina seemed to be bouncing back nicely from her scare earlier. Now she was playing with Levi on the floor by Lucy's desk, laughing as she pulled on one end of Levi's bunny and he tugged on the other.
Myles, Bobby, D, and Jack were huddled over Tara's desk. Jack had filled in the others about what had happened and learned that Bobby and Myles had made a couple of discoveries of their own. One of Jordan's co-workers had told them that he'd gotten some information from DEA on Marcus Montega for Jordan about three weeks ago, but when he'd asked her about it later, she'd told him that it had been a bad lead. Others had said she'd been acting distant the last couple of weeks, not going out with them after work like she'd used to.
In addition, one of Bobby's snitches said Montega was indeed in the DC area and word was he was planning something big. The snitch didn't know what, but knew that it was going down in a few days, so the team was put on high alert. If Jordan was involved with Montega and she was still alive, she wouldn't be for long if Montega was able to finish what he had planned.
Several pairs of eyes looked up from their work when they heard Tina holler Sue's name. Bobby and D grinned when they saw the young girl run to the door, plastering herself to her new friend. Sue stumbled slightly at the force of the impact, but quickly regained her footing. Jack pushed away from Tara's desk and moved closer, waving to get Sue's attention.
"Looks like someone missed you," Jack smiled.
Sue flashed him a quick smile while keeping one arm around the girl. Holding out the folder in her other hand, she said, "We've got sketches of the men."
"Good work," Jack said, taking the folder from her and turning to Tara. "Tara, work your magic."
"You got it," Tara replied, opening the folder to begin her search. Scanning the pictures into her computer, Tara's fingers flew across the keys as she made the requests to the Interpol, FBI and other databases to compare the pictures for a match. The others knew if anyone could find anything, it would be their Tara.
