First Act
Walker had just finished briefing Trivette, Gage and the rest of the rangers on the scenario.
"What do you suggest we do now Walker?" Gage asked trying to keep Isabella cornered behind his desk.
"I think we should start by trying to get that phone call traced." Walker suggested watching his daughter play Hearts on his computer.
"Daddy I need to use the little girl's room." Ruth cried tugging on her dad's pants leg.
"I'll take her Dad." Angela offered.
"I have to go too!" Isabella cried realizing the two older girls were leaving.
"Alright Angela take the girls, but don't leave the building, and come straight back." Walker ordered.
"Ok Daddy." Angela obeyed, taking Isabella by the hand and leaving with Ruth.

Michael Spade crushed his cigarette into the ashtray outside the ranger headquarters. He adjusted his baseball cap and pulled his long hair back. Placing the parcel under his arm he took the clipboard from his dashboard and headed up the stairs.
"Can I help you?" Asked the receptionist upon entrance.
"I have a delivery for a Ranger…Gage?" Michael informed double checking his clipboard.
"Third floor." Informed the receptionist glancing back at her computer screen. Michael Spade walked over to the elevator pressing three. When the elevator stopped he exited making a beeline for Ranger Gage's desk. There was only a handful of ranges around as Spade placed the package on Ranger Gage's desk and made his way for the restroom.

Gage walked back toward his desk, he had left Walker and Trivette back at analysis. There was a small brown parcel waiting for him on his desk. Gage picked it up, there was no forwarding address, Gage grew a little suspicious as he opened the package.

Walker and Trivette were studying the monitor when the building shook violently, and the fire alarm went off.
"A bomb, a bomb just went off!" People were screaming in the hallway.
"We got to find the girls!" Trivette exclaimed. The corridors were filled with smoke. Men and women were shouting, rushing for the exits.
"ANGELA! RUTH! ISABELLA! WHERE ARE YOU!" Walker and Trivette attempted to cry over the chaos. Walker and Trivette were fighting the tide as they struggled to find their girls.
"Walker where are they?" Trivette asked, Walker looked onto the mass of panicked people.

Michael Spade had snatched the girls while fleeing, he wanted to get out, but he couldn't help but see the bewilderment and confusement on the girl's faces who were leaving the ladies room when the building shook. He grabbed them and ran out the front door and out into the streets, which were already swarming with rangers, personnel and all. He had lost the girls, but as long as they were out they were fine, and he figured they were capable of finding their parents. Spade didn't think twice as he got back into his truck and drove off, he had to finish his errands.
