Chapter Twelve

Meanwhile…

The doctor informed the family, now accompanied by the children, who were desperate to see Don that his and Ryan's condition were improving but they still needed to be monitored.

"Alan," The doctor said, "Your son will be fine, it will just take a little longer for him to be fully recovered is all."

Alan nodded silently, as he knew that his son and Ryan would be fine but he was still worried as a father, as Alan had long felt that his son had been through enough but at the same time, his son always pulled through.

Before anyone could say anything else, Megan's phone started to ring, which she quickly answered and, from what they could tell from the look on her face, it wasn't great news, either.

"Megan? What was that about?" Charlie asked, worried about his friends

"That was Colby," Megan said, "The old warehouse they went to check had a bomb there and there was a huge explosion…"

"Are they ok?" Charlie asked out of fear

"David and Colby are mostly okay, other than blown ear drums and smoke inhalation but several officers are seriously hurt, and they are on their way here, so we will get a full sense as to what happened."

"Megan, do you think…" Charlie asked

"That it might have been a set up?" Megan finished, "I don't know but Archer has some serious questions to answer to."

Just then a nurse came by with a note, giving it to Megan, which confused her but she read it and was shocked by what it said:

Agent Reeves,

What happened at the warehouse was a distraction, as I needed time to locate some people within the gang before I tell you anything else, as there are some things that are meant to be kept secret.

Hope you understand.

Archer

As Megan was reading the letter, the ambulances carrying the officers who were caught in the explosion were being brought in and the full weight of what has been happening, as well as memories of that day all those years ago, finally dawned on her, as she realized that this is truly something that can't be resolved in a day but they need to be able to work this case to ensure more people don't get hurt.

'I'll get you Archer, or whoever you are, and the rest of the gang, as you guys will not get away with this!' She silently vowed
