Chapter 4

It was only about 2 minutes later when they all came pouring back into the office. Jack had a rubber glove on and was holding an envelope in his hand.

"What is it?" asked Sue. Jack brought the letter over to her desk and put it down. Everyone bundled around her desk and chair and watched as Jack carefully opened the flap of the envelope. Two things came out. A piece of paper and a photograph. Sue looked at the photograph.

"It's a picture of you and D." said Tara. Sue studied the picture and recognized the people in the photograph as Jack and D, when they were on an assigment. Sue's attention was then brought to the letter, which Jack was now reading.

"What does it say?" asked Bobby. Jack put the letter down. Sue's eyes swept over the writing.

"I know which one will be next." Read Sue. She looked up from the letter.

"Does that mean what I think it means?" asked Sue.

"It means we are all on this guys death list." Said Myles.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sue wanted to go to the hospital to see D, but she knew that if she even suggested it to Jack he wouldn't let her go.

They had no leads what so ever. The envelope was sent to the lab along with the photo and second note. No prints were found, getting them absolutely no where. It was getting late, and Sue just wanted to go home.

"I'm hungry." Said Lucy. Sue smiled.

"We should order pizza." Said Sue. Tara came over with her cell phone.

"I think that is a brilliant idea." Tara said. She dialed the number and ordered two large pizzas. She hung up the phone and smiled.

"Did you get anywhere with the video camera?" asked Sue. Tara put her finger up.

"That's right." Tara said. She led them over to her computer screen and brought up the window of the video camera tape.

"This footage is from outside the door, where the letter was found." She said. She clicked the play button and they watched as a dark figure came up to the door and placed the letter on the ground. Sue noticed that the figure had a ski mask, gloves, and large coat on.

"I can't make him out. He's not showing any skin." Said Lucy.

"Have you shown Jack yet?" asked Sue. Tara shook her head.

"No, there really isn't much here to show." Tara said. "All we know is that is the perp, but we can't identify him." Lucy turned away from then and yelled over at Jack. He turned his head and came over to where the girls were hudled around Tara's computer.

"What?" he asked. "Did you find anything substantial on the tape?"

"Well not really." Said Tara as she replayed the tape. "You do see the guy, but he's masked." She let the tape play through then she paused the suspicious man left the screen.

"Does that look like your partner?" asked Lucy. Tara rewound the film and paused it on the figure. Jack stared at the computer intently but then shook his head.

"I can't tell." Said Jack. "Sorry."

"That's okay." Said Sue as she signed it as well. Jack gave her a smile.

"We ordered pizza." Added Lucy.

"I should go pick it up in about 10 minutes." Said Tara. "It's only the place around the corner." She added quickly as she saw Jack's face grow into concern.

"Be careful, that guy is out there." Said Lucy. Tara nodded.

"I'll put on a vest under my coat, that should help." Said Tara. She left the room in search of a vest. Lucy and Sue moved from Tara's desk and then over to Lucy's. Sue sat down in a chair beside her desk as Lucy began sifting through files.

"Paperwork?" asked Sue. Lucy nodded.

"What fun." She said sarcastically. Lucy picked up a pen but then quickly dropped it.

"So Sue, I forgot to ask, but how was lunch today?" asked Lucy as she began to chew on the end of her pen. Sue rolled her eyes and got up from her chair.

"What!" said Lucy. "I was just asking." Sue smiled and went back to her desk. Levi was sound asleep underneath the desk. She began reading over some old case files of Jack and Brandon's when she just caught Tara coming in for coat. She left leaving Sue very hungry. A few moments later Jack came over to her desk. He gave her shoulder a tap to get her attention.

"We have another case." Said Jack.

"What? It's like 8 in the evening." Said Sue. "I just want to go home." Jack gave her a small smile.

"Bobby and Myles agreed to stay here and go over anything and everything we have on this case. It's another drug operation, on that guy Johnny Ryes. Remember him from last month?" Sue nodded vagley remembering one of the cases that they hadn't solved from before her promotion offering.

"Ready to go?" asked Jack. Sue stood up and woke Levi up.

"Where are we going?" she asked.

"Downtown." Said Jack. Sue grabbed Levi's leash.

"All right, let's go." Sue said as she clipped Levi's leash on and they headed out the door.
