A Meeting and a Rescue Mission
Anthony gathered his colleagues in the conference room for a quick and urgent meeting. Bethany brought along a map of Rockville, Maryland and its surrounding area. Time was running out and they needed answers. They also needed to rescue Carolyn.
"Hank Peddigrew, Jr. was either an architect or in construction before his arrest and imprisonment," Suzette said. "He probably knows places to bury Carolyn."
"The last time I had a conversation with him," Joel, a CSI around Carolyn's age, said. "He told me something about an up and coming upscale housing development in Rockville."
"You're telling us this because," Suzette wondered where the young man was getting at and its relevance to Carolyn. "I don't understand where you are going to with it. Do you care to explain this observation you have just made?"
"Hank's job dealt with laying the groundwork for building houses either in blueprints or the actually building," Joel replied. "He probably has some idea of where to bury her."
"Did he tell you the name of the development?" Anthony asked. "Think, it's important so we can still find Carolyn alive and in one piece."
"The development is named 'Whispering Orioles'," Joel said. "I'll circle the area its approximate location."
Bethany made an overlapping of the area covering the area of Hank's Rockville area office. Joel marked two housing developments with one x each. He excused himself and went to his office to check a document Hank gave him on 'Whispering Orioles'. He hastily returned to the conference room.
"Carolyn is buried right there," Joel said pointing to the x that was closer to Washington DC.
"I am going to call the chief of the Rockville Police Department," Anthony was ready to do some battle. "She is a college friend of mine. I ask her to send as many officers to 'Whispering Orioles' as she can. I'll ask them to wait for us."
Rockville, Maryland – Half an Hour Later
The calm in Rockville was shattered by the raucous sounds of numerous sirens of patrol cars from both the local and Washington, DC jurisdictions. They headed towards 'Whispering Orioles', parked the cars and every police officer and criminalist got out. Anthony stopped them and needed to organize the mission.
"I want everyone in small groups and search different areas!" he shouted. "She could be anywhere in this development! I want my people with me! Remember to look for any areas that have loose dirt and that has a transmitter and some other gadgets."
The groups went to various areas of 'Whispering Orioles'. However, Anthony's team got lucky when the saw a nearly completely house. Through a window and the sliding door they saw some poles. They rushed to the backyard and saw the mound of dirt. Anthony dug around and found the transmitter. He faced his team and gave them a thumb up indicating that Carolyn was likely there.
"Start digging!" he shouted. "Carolyn, we're here and we'll get you out of there soon! You just have to have a little more patience!"
Whispering Orioles, Rockville, Maryland -- Underground
Carolyn could hear noises, but she couldn't figure out the source. She knew that the plexi-glass was no longer cracking, but she still wondered if someone came to get her out of the underground hell that someone put her in. Some rats had crawled onto her chest and she started panting heavily. She pushed them off and grunted at the pain of the scratches. She could feel her heart beating more rapidly.
"Get me the fuck out of here!" she said with her voice going from normal tone to screaming at the top of her lungs.
Suddenly, there was a pronounced beeping noise. She didn't know what it meant, but she was pretty sure it was something not good. She took the gun and pointed it towards a rat and then towards her temple. Time was running out and fast!
