11. Tracking Laura

Adam was tracking the GPS when Hawkes entered with the wire tapes. He ran them through the recorder to check the names then punched them into the computer, but came up empty. Adam told Hawkes that he'd traced the other trackers, to the lab. Hawkes was just about to go and check where they could be. He asked for an update on Laura's location as the circumstantial evidence pointed to her having the other GPS tracker. Mac as they studied the screen tracking Laura, Mac entered.

"Hawkes, what's going on? I just had to send Lindsay out on her own, no one else is around"

"Mac, I'm glad your back, have you spoken to Stella?" Mac shook his head waiting for answers. "Laura's been abducted, she went to meet one of her undercover guys and he knocked her out and took her from under the noses of the surveillance team. Stella and Danny are down at Port Authority trying to find out how they got her out. We're pretty certain she's wearing a tracker." Hawkes, quickly brought him up to date.

"They're heading across 42nd street and judging by the speed they're in traffic, they just turned south on 2nd Avenue, which is pretty clear at the moment for about 20 blocks" Adam announced.

Mac asked what other information they had. Hawkes proceeded. "Something big is going down tonight, possibly connected with a cargo ship, we've got no other details. Our 3 vics all had trackers, the signals are all here in the lab, I'm on my way to check their personal effects-" He got cut off as Adam cursed.

"I just lost it!" He panicked. Mac asked where the signal was lost. "Around 36th St" Adam answered, his voice shaking. Hawkes visualised the route, his hand moving as he thought, then he realised what had happened "There's an entrance to the Queens Midtown tunnel just off second."

"They're heading for Brooklyn. Adam watch when it comes out the other side, keep me informed where it goes." Mac ordered.

"Adam, did you get anything on cargo ships yet?" asked Hawkes. Adam told them the information was still going through the database, but he told them he would narrow the search to docks in Brooklyn.

"I'll call Flack and have SWAT on standby." Mac told them. Hawkes was watching the tracking display then turned to Adam. "Can we get this loaded to a PDA so they can track her at the docks?" Adam thought. "It'll take a bit of work because of the encryption but I should be able to."

Mac nodded. "Do it, they'll need it and for it to be precise if they're to locate Laura once they're there."

Mac and Hawkes left the lab to go follow their other activities and met Danny as he came out of the elevator, with a box of evidence.

"Hey Mac!" called Danny. "Danny, how are things? How's Flack holding up?" Mac replied.

Danny shook his head. "Not good, I've never seen him this bad over a case."

Mac smiled "It's called love Danny, tell me you wouldn't be the same if your roles were reversed and they had Lindsay?"

Danny stares at Mac, as realisation sets in that his boss knows about his relationship with his colleague. "You thought I didn't know? Keep it out of the lab and we won't have a problem" Mac told him and walked away.

A few hours later SWAT teams are gathering at an isolated warehouse near the docks. Mac arrives with Danny and Sheldon, Stella and Don are talking to the SWAT leader. Introductions over, Danny starts to give them the latest information from Adam as he hands Don the PDA tracking Laura.

"Adam says they've driven round most of the afternoon, probably ensuring they weren't followed. Signal's been stable for about 2 hours, warehouse 12. The same warehouse is being used to unload the Tseng Chao which docked an hour ago. It will take another 30 minutes before the first container is off loaded. The whole process will take about 4 hours. At midnight the return shipment will be loaded and she'll sail at 0800 tomorrow."

Hawkes added that the cargo was listed as auto parts and computers from Taiwan.

Mac informs the SWAT Leader that some containers may contain Asian women being brought in illegally and gives him the numbers which are expected to be on the containers. He looked at Don before continuing "They have 2 NYPD officers in there, whose cover may have been blown. One of them is Charlie Price the other is Laura Stevens, who has been heavily involved in breaking this gang up. They may have tried to find out from her if anyone else knows about the shipment and we don't know if she's been forced to give anything away". Don was fingering the PDA, hoping that she was ok, not knowing what he would do if she wasn't.

The SWAT leader looked at the team in front of him, he sympathised, he knew how he felt about his team, now one of their's was in danger. "I think we have to assume she has, so our op may not be a surprise. Mac I want your guys to stay back we'll let you in as soon as it's clear. You can monitor anything from the control van." He offered sympathetically.

"I'm coming with you" Don announced. The SWAT Leader opened his mouth to disagree but was cut off. "Either you take me in or I go myself, I can ID Charlie Price, the other undercover Cop!"

"I thought he was dirty?" questioned the SWAT Leader.

Mac told him they didn't know for sure, that they wanted him alive. "There's possibly this has been set up to get us here."

The SWAT Leader turned to Don. "OK detective, get your gear and you stick with me we go in 10."
