Both officers were right about it taking at least a few days before the apartment was released back to Johnny. On the plus side, the found quite a few fingerprints that helped out. It turned out that the father had two names he used besides his real one. With that information, police officers began digging for any properties that may have been held by him or his son. It seemed that luck was finally on their side as within forty-eight hours, they found three previously unknown ones.
It took another twenty-four hours to gather enough people to simultaneous search each place, but once the teams were in place, 'Operation Extinguish' as it was being called, was launch. The second place was filled with explosives ready to go and even more supplies to build bombs. There were also plans on how to attack a large mall, a large shopping center, a couple schools, a couple apartment buildings, as well as Station 51 all at once. It seemed as though the father and son planned on delivering baked goods, flowers, or different supplies to the mall, shopping center and school. They also would plant flowers with bombs underneath in the mall, shopping center, school, and apartment building. At the schools and apartment buildings, the father and son planned on being maintenance workers and while 'working', leaving tools or supplies in certain areas. As far as Station 51 went, when the timers went off and set off the other places, the father and son would be manual there, surround the building with explosive material.
The third building was a small cabin about ten miles away and had been purchased under a different name. Despite the difficulty getting to it, the search team was able to sneak up there and found both the father and son. Both had rifles, but with ten people on the team, the father/son arsonist group was taken down quickly with fatal injuries. Oddly enough, no one seemed to mind after all that had occurred to them.
Since neither of them had relatives, it was decided to sell everything the two had in properties, stocks, bonds and bank accounts to go towards their victims.
As far as John Gage goes, he still has to fight at times to restrain from hurting himself when the memories of one of the worst times in his firefighting career try to take over him. There are times he slips, but each time, his friends, or rather, family, considering how close Station 51 became from this nightmare, help him back up and start again.
