As Leo was on his way to Katherine's something hit him. He called Jonathan back. "Hey just reallized something maybe a good idea for us to get somebody looking into outbound flights and also greyhound bus tickets. Katherine maybe on the run, and may have taken Brookelyn with her."
Jonathan smiled "Way ahead of you already have my people looking into it. But glad we are now on the same page I'm nearly at the hospital, will call you as soon as I find out anything. Thanks for working with me on this."
"I'm doing this for Josh and his family they are my second family. Josh is the son I never had."
"I know we will get baby Brooke back and Josh will be just fine. We have to have faith."
" When does all this end? Josh has been through way to much in his life time. First his sister and dad and now this. Does the pain ever end?"
" I know God has his reasons though. We may not know them but he has a purpose for it all we just have to wait to see what the future holds. Maybe its to teach us all that life is to important to put work first. I know after what happened to Brookelyn it made me really start to think twice of how I have treated my son."
"I hear you. I got to go. I really should call Mallory think at this point would be good to hear her voice before reaching Katherine's."
"Ok stay safe Leo, and give Brooke an extra hug for me will you?"
"Will do."
Once Leo got to Katherine's house he could feel something was wrong. Before he approached the agents to go ahead of him with the search warrant and knock when he gave a signal. While he went towards the back of the house with 2 other agents.
Once he arrived he could tell immediately that his gut was right. Brookelyn was in a stroller sound asleep with a bomb attached to one of the legs beneath her.
"Do you think its connected to the house. If so what should we do?"
Agent Matthews looked at him "I assume getting you out of here is out of the question. So first step would be to evacuate the neighborhood and block any non-official personnel from entering a 3mile radius, and get a bomb squad in here. Catherine is likely not home or the bomb would of gone off by now. There are likely hidden triggers and its a miracle we haven't set any off." The call for the bomb squad was made.
"You sure you want to stay"
"That kid is like my granddaughter to me. If I leave and she gets blown up, I'll never forgive myself. If she goes I go. She's to young to die we need to get her out of there shes only 4 months old."
All of a sudden a loud cry was heard and everyone turned towards the baby. Miraculously the bomb didn't go off. Which likely meant the bomb wouldn't go off if it wouldn't go off with a baby moving on top of it. Thank goodness but they still didn't want to enter best to be safe.
Once the bomb squad cleared the area. Leo pretty much stormed passed the agents to get to Brooklyn. Which was just in time she looked like she was about to roll right out of the stroller. She was a smart baby.
"It's ok baby girl Grandpa Leo has you now. Your safe with me let's go see your daddy. I'm sure he will be highly glad to see you."
Once they got past the barricade they were ushered into an ambulance and on the way to the hospital. Leo was updated via phone on what happened at the house.
"The bomb had no triggers it was just a decoy to try and distract us. But Katherine way underestimated you. She was caught at Dules airport. She is now in police custody, on charges of child endangerment and attempted vehicular manslaughter."
"Good hopefully she goes away for a very long time."
He called Hoynes on the way to the hospital. "Shes safe we are on our way to the hospital now. I'm with her in the ambulance. Any word on Josh?"
Hoynes hesitated, "I just got here it doesn't look good I think we need a miracle."
"Well our God is a god of miracles, and through him nothing is impossible. We just have to keep praying."
