When they walk back into the main meeting room Ryan and bird notice number of monitors set up on one table. They walk over to see each of the family member in each of the room yelling and swearing as the hit the doors. They were like that for twenty minutes when each door open two men in suits and two cops walk in.
the two cops made the person sit down while the two men in suits sat across from them. Bird, Ryan and number of people watch and listen to each of the interviews for the next three hours.
Ryan wrap his arms around bird as she cry when she listen to what her family was saying including about the fake tip to the FBI. Ryan pull bird out of the room. The cops and agents there saw how up setting it is for her. When they were out in the corridor, Ryan pulled her into his arms once more.
"It over now Jess"
"I still can't believe that they still hold a grudge against me, against us"
"I know what they did is wrong and now they going to pay for what they did"
They were in each others arms till agent Baker walk out of the room and saw them in each other arms
"what happening" Ryan asked
"We got enough to convict them all for fake tip off which they all admitted to and there are going to be other charges against them all"
"Will they be going to the US for trial"
"No it will be here in Australia."
"How long will they get for what they done" bird asked
"I don't know about the Australian justest system, but in the US they would get twenty plus years for what they done" Bird nodded.
"when you are ready an officer will take you both back to the hotel"
