Ras of hope

Chapter three

Flames flew into the air once the car exploded with the two occupants inside both harbor police.

Eyewitnesses in the area had called 911 to send the fire department, police, ambulance, and most of all the coroner. The harbor police and IFF had been notified of Lee Stetson having arrived in the underground parking lot.

Lee parked his vehicle outside with walking in to see the number of police activity. He was able to notice Captain Trump age 56 years of age in charge of the detectives' department was talking to the fire marshall.

He waited until the captain had walked away. "Captain Trump just what the hell happened? I was supposed to have met up with Lt. Henley and his partner after meeting them earlier at the yacht explosion." Lee had asked with looking around.

"It would seem that Henley had someone watching them after leaving the harbor bar following the courier to there. He told me in a quick call that he was going to be following him further as with two others." Captain Trump needed to say.

"So you think that all of a sudden that he and his partner had gotten too close to something that had them all nervous?" Lee commented.

"It would seem so Lee. I suggest you tell your Billy Melrose that his people like yourself need to be careful on whether or not IFF is going to be investigating this further?" he responded with concern in regard to his demeanor.

"I will be sure to tell him," Lee said...

Meanwhile when Lee had parked his vehicle across the ways. Those involved with blowing up the yacht and now the vehicle with killing the two harbor police.

This particular man was waiting inside hiding for when Lee Stetson is supposed to be showing up after checking on the investigation. His revolver was being held in his hand watching for his target to have him brought to the warehouse and be tortured for information. This plan was too important to have it messed up now and billions of dollars worth of weapons, drugs, and money flow for the rebels and underground.

Lee was coming out of the underground parking lot after getting the information that was needed for IFF and Billy Melrose. Moving into the driver seat after using the remote to open the door. He was getting ready to start up the vehicle when a lone white male with a revolver told him to stop what he was doing for now.

Turning. "Who the hell are you?" he cried out before being hit over the head with another man driving up to the driver side to open a door of their vehicle to place Lee Stetson into the back door and a third person to help with tying his wrists and ankles along with a blindfold over his face.

Moving along the road. The driver in charge asked Mario to check Stetson's pockets for anything that might be able to help them for their cause.

This was going to take a few moments with removing everything out of his pockets with keys, wallet, I.D. badge, and other essentials. Otherwise, there was nothing for when it came to the investigation of the yacht and now the vehicle explosion.

During this time IFF Billy Melrose had a call from the harbor police. He was in his office at the time he was talking with Amanda about another case.

"Sir have you heard anything from Lee?" she asked concern in her voice always worrying about her husband.

"Not since he left for the bar since Henley called him," he said. "Why do you asked?" Billy rubbing the back of his neck from the tension in the office. Every time she is around for the most part.

"Maybe it has something to do with my gut feeling Billy. I never liked it when Lee does something for when it involves his police friends and sources?" Amanda commented with hearing the phone going off with Billy picking it up. "IFF this is Billy Melrose. How can I help you?" he quipped with looking over at Amanda and her gut feeling.

"Mr. Melrose this is Captain Trump of the harbor police. I wanted to inform you that there was an explosion of the underground parking lot near the harbor. From what I understand that an agent of yours Lee Stetson was seen in the vicinity of the underground parking lot and the explosion."

"Are you sure Captain?" Billy was on alert.

"Yeah, I am sure Mr. Melrose. I suggest you send someone out there to make sure that he wasn't involved or was taken or something?" the captain had to say on the subject.

"I will be sure to Captain Trump and thanks for the tip and suggestion," he responded with hanging up the phone.

"What's wrong Sir?" Amanda stood up.

"Let's go we 're going to see if we can find Scarecrow." he cried out with his response grabbing his coat and hat to head for the underground parking lot.

"I just can't believe that Lee can be so stupid in getting caught by the enemy?" she responded with needing to make a call to her mother and babysitter to watch the baby.

WAREHOUSE San Francisco WARBURTON SECTION

Third-floor section of the abandoned warehouse some thirty miles away from the explosion of the vehicle with the two police officers inside.

Lee was laying on a table with his ankles, wrists, and neck in a collar unable to move, and his clothes along with all of his personal belongings. He wasn't able to see either with the blindfold still over his eyes. But nothing in his mouth. He tried to scream out on whether anyone was able to hear his scream but to no avail.

Currently, there wasn't anyone inside the warehouse at the moment. Since those involved with the Syria rebels were busy meeting up with their vendors on whether they were interested in an agent from the United States government with no memory and will be willing to work for them.
