The team has gathered in the media room so they can all watching the security footage. Luckily, the store has really good camera coverage so Sharon's car should be visible and each isle inside the store is viewable as well. They all watch as Sharon parks and then enters the store. The space beside her car is empty as she enters the store. She spends about 20 minutes in the store, during that time a dark grey van has parked beside her car. A man exits the van and proceeds into the store as well. The man has on khaki pants, a light green shirt with a blue jacket and a blue baseball cap. His cap is pulled low so they can't make out his face. But he is definitely not Stroh. He is too short and his build is not right. He slowly walks around the store and even passes Sharon twice while she is shopping. He appears to be looking for something but never even puts anything into his basket. Sharon checks out and walks to her car with 3 bags of groceries. As she opens the trunk, they all watch as the man approaches her. She doesn't appear to be frightened at first and is still holding one bag of groceries as he steps even closer to her. They appear to be carrying on a small conversation. Then very suddenly the man grabs Sharon by the shoulders and places a cloth over her mouth and nose. She drops the bag of groceries into the trunk and is struggling with one hand to get her purse and trying to push him away with the other. She elbows him hard in the chin and then kicks her attacker causing him to momentarily let go of her. They all watch in horror as she tries to run but stumbles because of the effect of whatever was on the cloth. The man is on her fast, grabbing her by the jacket and slamming her into the open trunk. He then pulls a gun from his jacket and hits her in the head with it twice, causing her body to go limp. None of the team realizes that Andy has gotten up and left the room until they hear the door slam closed. Buzz pauses the playback for a moment and they all look at each other. "Go ahead Buzz, let's see the rest of this," Provenza orders. As the film continues they watch in silence as the man then hauls Sharon over his shoulder, walks a few steps and throws her lifeless body into the back of the grey van. From the angle of the camera they can't see inside the van. After about a minute they watch as the man closes the van door, he has Sharon's suit jacket and shoes in his hands. He also has her badge. He takes the time to neatly arrange the items in the trunk before closing it and returning to the van. He then exits the parking lot at approximately 8:45pm according to the time stamp on footage.
Buzz pauses the footage again. "Ok" Provenza speaks up. "Let's see if facial recognition will give us anything, although it is doubtful. Sykes, run the plate on that van even though it is probably stolen. Tao see if you can get anything from the street cams as to where the van was headed. 8:45, glancing at his watch, which means the bastard has a 15 hour head start. Let's get busy people. This is our Captain we are talking about. Buzz can you upload the video to the iPad so I can watch it again? There is something familiar about this creep; I just can't put my finger on exactly what it is."
Louie Provenza exits the media room and the first thing he notices is that Flynn is nowhere to be seen. He walks down the hall checking in the break room and then stopping in the men's room. There he finds Andy sitting on the floor once again holding the evidence bag containing Sharon's glasses. He realizes that is time for some tough love. "Come on, get up Flynn there is work to be done. Do you seriously think if that was you out there, the Captain would sitting in the ladies room crying and not trying to find you? Pull yourself together. You have a job to do. If you are as serious about having this relationship with her as I think you are then you need to get off your ass and help us find her! Damn it Flynn!"
Slowly, getting to his feet, he gives his best friend a pat on the shoulder. "You're right, you're right. She would be mad as hell if she knew I was acting like this. I… I just don't think I have ever been this scared in my whole life. I can't believe I let her push me way and now she may be gone forever."
"We will find her Flynn and she will be alive. She is the strongest woman either of us has ever met, plus she's smart. So I know she will make it through this. And when she does…Flynn, look at me, and when she does, she will need you more than ever. Now, let's go watch the footage again. There is something oddly familiar about this ass-hole that I can't put my finger on."
