Soon Dave realised it was already half 5, the time he'd promised he'd call Jack, Sean and Henry.
"Guys I'll be back in a minute. Gotta make a call I don't want to, I gotta tell Jack and Henry their dad's are missing…."
"Sure Rossi, tell Henry I'll call him after you've finished talking to them."
"Sure J.J. Back in a minute."
Dave stepped outside and dialled Jessica's house number.
"Hello?" Jess answered the phone.
"Hey Jess, it's me."
"Have you found them yet Dave?"
"Not yet but we're getting closer and we will find them soon. I promise. But first I did promise I'd call at this time to talk to Jack, Sean and Henry. J.J said she'd call Henry after I've finished talking."
"Sure, hang on a sec. HEY JACK! SEAN! HENRY! CAN YOU GUYS COME HERE A SEC? They already know something is up Dave cos there's agents here with us each now. But I haven't said anything, only that you'd call at this time to tell them everything. I'll put the phone on speaker okay?"
"Is it Uncle Dave Aunt Jess?"
"Yeah buddy it is. He'll tell you everything okay, but just listen."
"Okay. Hi Uncle Dave, did something happen to dad? Is he okay?"
"Hey Jack! Hey Henry! Hey Sean!"
"Hey Dave. So come on tell us, what's happened to my bro this time?"
"Well the thing is something's happened but not just to your dad Jack. It's happened to Matt, Morgan and your dad too Henry. They've been taken and are being somewhere by the bad guy we came here to find."
"Dad's missing? Where is he?"
"We don't Jack. Henry your mom said she'd call you after I finished this call to talk to you okay? She's okay and she's safe here. But like you she's really worried about your dad."
"Who took them Uncle Dave?"
"The bad guy Jack. And although we don't know where he's holding them, we think it's at his house, but we don't know where that is."
"When were they taken?"
"About half 10 this morning. Both your dad's had gone to a house to question someone who claimed they knew stuff about the case. Matt and Morgan went to another house where a different was claiming he knew stuff. A detective from here went with your dads and another detective from here went with Matt and Morgan. But both houses were a set up. Your dads, Matt and Morgan were drugged and taken prisoner away somewhere not too far from each house. They drugged both the detectives too but the drugs they used didn't completely knock the detectives out. They heard stuff, including names. The guys your dads, Matt and Morgan had gone to see apparently used their own names. Along with fingerprints they all left at both houses, to which we could match one set to a known bad guy, we were able identify the guy who your dads had gone to see, the guy who Matt and Morgan had gone to see and a guy who had helped take Matt and Morgan. That guy was the brother of the guy your dads had gone to see. We've already found out all the first names of the other guys involved, including the bad guy whose got your dads, Matt and Morgan. We're already pretty close to finding them and no one is giving up. The whole squad here is working 24 seven, we're working 24 seven, no one will sleep until we find your dads, Matt and Morgan and we already know a lot. We just don't know quite enough and we don't know exactly where they are just yet but we'll figure it out. We're already ready to pounce and arrest the 3 men we know about as soon as they turn up and one is due at work in the morning. One is due to work tomorrow night. The other we don't know where he is yet but we got officers keeping an eye on his home if he goes back there. We're going to talk to another guy's work mates tonight. We've already talked to both his bosses and they will help us find this guy. The boss at the other guy's workplace will help us catch him too. They'll let us know when he gets to work tomorrow morning. You guys following me so far?"
"Yeah course."
"Great. Tomorrow, when they get released from the hospital, the 2 detectives who went with your dads, Matt and Morgan will come back here to the station and get straight back to work to help find your dads, Matt and Morgan. We have the cell numbers of both the 2 guys who are working that we know about. Garcia has got them tracing for when they turn on the cell phones, which they'll have to do sooner or later. When they turn the cell phones on, Garcia will get a location and we can go and at least arrest someone. But we figure we find any of the guys we know about, we'll find the rest of them. We find the rest of the guys, we'll find the bad guy and find your dads, Matt and Morgan."
"Is this bad guy hurting our dads Uncle Dave?"
"I don't know Jack. I do know that he holds his victims in chains with their hands chained up but I don't know how he's holding them. I don't know if he's hurting them or not. We won't know anything for sure til we find them. But I promise you boys, we will find your dads, we will find Matt and Morgan and I promise I will bring your dads home to you guys as soon as I can okay? I know I've probably told you guys more than you needed to know but I also know you guys hate being kept in the dark and you guys deserve to know the truth and everything possible as it happens."
"Thanks for that Uncle Dave. We love it that your so honest with us and don't try to hide anything. Why did the bad man take our dads?"
"We don't know Jack. Maybe he wants to play a game with us. But he hasn't gotten in touch with us to let us know why he's taken the 4 of them, so we don't know why he's taken them, just that he has. There were notes left with the detectives that simply said I got your friends. From the unsub. He called himself the unsub. He know we're looking for him and that we will find him real soon."
"Please find my dad Uncle Dave, he's the only parent I got left. I know I got Aunt Jess and Uncle Sean but he's my dad. A bad guy already killed mom, I can't lose dad too!"
"We'll find him Jack, I promise. And doesn't your dad always tell you, a promise is a promise?"
"Yeah he does."
"Well I promise we will find both your dads. And I promise that we will bring them home to you guys. I promise you will both see your dads again. We always promise to bring your dad home to you Jack every time we go anywhere on a case. We may not make that promise directly to you, but it's promise we make to ourselves every time and on every case and we all promise we'll bring your dad home to you again. We wouldn't let anything happen to your dad Jack. We know he's your world. We hate that we couldn't save your mom but we'll always do everything we can to make sure your dad comes home to you every time. We make the promise and we mean to keep it. And we promise Henry, we'll find your dad too and we'll bring him home to you. We promise to find all 4 of them and bring them home."
"Thanks Uncle Dave."
"Yeah thanks Uncle Dave. I just want my dad. Aunt Jess when dad comes home, can he come here til he's better?"
"Course he's coming here Jack, I wouldn't have it any other way. He'll be coming here whether he wants to or not. We'll help him get better."
"Thanks Aunt Jess. I know I'm 10 and a big boy now but can I sleep in your bed tonight with you? I miss dad."
"Course you can Jack."
"Is there room for me too? I'm scared and I haven't got mom to comfort me."
"Sure there is. There's room for 3 in bed. Always is."
"Thank you."
"Yeah thanks Aunt Jess. Please find Uncle Dave and bring him home."
"I will Jack. I promise to bring both your dads home."
"So there's a chance you'll find them real soon Dave?"
"Yeah Sean, we're pretty close. And if either of the guys we know about turn up for work, we'll catch them. Then we'll find the others. We find them, we find the unsub and the guys. And it could be only another day or so before we find them all."
"Really? Only another day?"
"Maybe 2 at most we just have to wait for something to turn up, for a phone to be turned on or for one of the 2 guys to show up at work. Me and J.J are going to talk to 2 guys tonight who often work the same night shift as one of the guys we're after. And the other guy is very likely to show up for work at 9am tomorrow morning at his workplace. We'll find either of them in the next 24 hours. One of them will turn up for work. The guy working tomorrow night left his work uniform at his apartment. He HAS to go back for his uniform. We got officers waiting at his apartment and keeping watch outside. He turns up there, we'll arrest him. And once we arrest one of them the rest of the puzzle will fall into place hopefully and we'll find the others and then we'll find the unsub and the guys for sure. And that's if someone doesn't turn a cell phone on before the morning. They only have to turn it on for us to get a location. Garcia is waiting for that to happen. And to get more cell numbers she's cross referencing calls the 2 guys we know about and whose cell numbers we have, she's cross referencing their numbers with any numbers they both called and any number they called a lot. She'll find those numbers, put traces on those cells and then it's just a case of a waiting game to see if a cell gets turned on or someone turns up for work. But something has to happen in the next 12 to 24 hours and when it does, it will move fast for us. We'll figure the rest out and we'll go arrest the unsub and rescue the guys. Jack? Henry? I promise you that as soon as we have your dads safe and well and as soon as they can, I'll get them to give you guys each a call okay? And in the meantime if anything happens, I'll call you to tell you the minute I can okay?"
"Thanks Uncle Dave."
"Yeah thanks Uncle Dave."
"And in the meantime if any of you 4 guys want to talk to me, or any of the others at any time, call any of us. Call me any time to talk okay guys? I promise we'll find them and bring them home."
"Thanks Dave."
"Thanks Uncle Dave."
"Yeah thank you Dave."
"Thanks Uncle Dave."
"Stay safe won't you Dave? You and the others?"
"Course we will Jess. Anywhere we go now we're taking detectives and uniformed officers with us and taking extra care and precautions."
"Aunt Jess? Do we have to go to school tomorrow?"
"After what's happened and what might happen tomorrow, I can take the day off Jess and be here. I know you have to work."
"I'll take the day off too. No guys, I'll call the school in the morning and explain okay? But you guys can be here for when anything happens okay?"
"Thanks Aunt Jess!"
"Yeah thanks Jessica!"
"Hear that Dave? We'll all be here tomorrow if you call with any news."
"Sure. Thanks Jess. I promise I'll call the minute I can with any news. But stuff might be happening pretty fast tomorrow, but I or one the guys will keep you updated. Oh and if you lend Henry your cell Jess, I'll get J.J to call your cell phone to talk to Henry."
"Sure Dave. Stay safe though okay? And find Aaron, I don't care what condition he might be in, just bring him home, we'll take care of him here."
"Thanks Jess. You really are too good."
Dave eventually finished the call and went back to the others in the conference room.
"J.J, I told Henry you'd call Jess's cell. He and Jack are staying home tomorrow to hear any news but Henry's waiting for your call. He's got Jess's cell so you'd better call him before he finds your number in her cell phone…."
"Sure I'll be right back guys…."
J.J stepped out of the room to call Henry and had just come back in when Garcia burst into the conference room with her laptop.
"Guys! I got something. You know how I couldn't find any links to begin with between Eric, Thomas and the others?"
"Yeah, Why?"
"Eric and Thomas called quite a few numbers quite a few times. Eric called Thomas a lot, Thomas called Eric a lot and I looked up the other numbers and they belong to a Toby Williams, a Tony Sprite, a Mike Walters, a Andrew Taylor, or Andy as most things have him listed as, and a Gary Watson. Eric called Gary the most, followed by Tony, followed by Thomas, then the others. Eric called Mike and Andy more than Toby and Andy. And Thomas called Eric a lot, followed by Tony, then Toby and Gary then Andy and Mike. Both Mike and Toby work at the same warehouse but do day shifts, Gary works at a movie theatre but he must get paid under the table or in cash cos I couldn't find an official record, just bits I had to put together. Andy works in a grocery store. Tony doesn't seem to have a job but has a good income. Every month he brings in well over 6 grand, all cash. Think he lives off the other guys. Half their earnings are taken out as soon as they get paid but there's no sign of where that money goes. I'm guessing it goes to Tony."
"Wonder what they pay him for?"
"Dunno, but you should go talk to the warehouse manager again about Mike and Toby, he should know them better than Eric cos both Toby and Mike work day shifts."
"And what's more, we know his full name. You got an address Garcia?"
"Sadly for once I don't. He hasn't got a house registered to him. Think he must be squatting somewhere. There's no sign of any bills being paid under his name. Must pay everything with cash. But I got traces on all their cells. All are turned off at the moment but the minute even one is turned on, we'll get a hit."
"Great work kitten!"
"Yeah fantastic work Garcia. Thanks."
"Yeah definitely thanks Garcia. I got a grainy image from the footage. Looks like it could be Thomas who bought the phones. Look guys."
He showed the imaged to the others and it did look like Thomas but with dark sunglasses and a cap on.
"Great work Garcia. Put APB's out on all of them detective."
"Done and done J.J."
"I'll go back to the warehouse and wait there with Woods. We'll talk to the warehouse manager then wait for the 8pm shift to start to talk to the other 2 guards. J.J, you and Spencer go to the movie theatre and ask about Gary. Alex you take detectives Towers and Spike and some uniforms and go to the grocery store where this Andy works. We'll find out when they all are next due to work and anything we can about them. Woods, let me just nip by the men's room, then I'll be ready to go. We can grab burgers on the way."
"Sure, I gotta go by the men's room too anyway."
Dave, Woods and some uniforms went back out to the warehouse, stopping by a burger drive through on the way to pick up a quick dinner. After quickly eating their dinner in the SUV, they headed back into the warehouse.
"Hi Agent Rossi, Detective Woods, night shift doesn't start for another hour and a half."
"That's okay. We know that. We're here to speak to Mr Edwards again. Can we just go straight to his office?"
"Sure, go ahead."
They both headed to the back to the managers office again and Dave tapped on the door.
"Mr Edwards? Sorry to disturb you again but we have some more stuff we need to ask you about."
"Sure come in Agent Rossi, Detective Woods and take a seat. What is it that you need to know this time? I know you were due to talk to 2 of the night shift guards but their shift doesn't start til 8. Did you talk to Mark Carter?"
"Yeah and he was real helpful thanks. We'll talk to him again later. We figured as it's already half 6, we'd hang around til the start of the 8pm shift."
"Sure that's no problem."
"We just have to ask you about 2 other employees this time. Both work day shifts here. One is named Toby Williams and the other is named Mike Walters. Both are implicated in the same crimes and the kidnapping and abduction of our agents and the detective."
"Toby and Mike? They work as floor guys, stocking shelves, getting orders ready, that sort of thing. They're both hard workers and decent enough workers. Toby has got a shift tomorrow according to the rota, and Mike has a shift day after next. But both guys come to work on time, work hard and leave after their shifts finish. I've never had any problems with either guy."
He stood up and took out both men's employee files.
"I'll have Lisa make copies of both these but see for yourselves."
He handed the files to Dave and Woods to look at whilst he called Lisa on the front desk.
"Lisa, can you come to my office for a minute? Thanks."
Within a minute, Lisa was tapping on the door.
"Sir? Did you guys need something?"
"Yeah can you make copies of these files for us please?" Dave and Woods handed her the files in their hands.
"Sure, back in a minute."
"So their both good workers?"
"Yeah, never had any problems with either of them. You sure they're involved?"
"Eric and another guy we know about, the Thomas he called a lot the other day, called a few guys a lot. Plus we had their first names. We matched their cell numbers to their first names and got their full details."
"As far as I know, they don't socialise with Eric or have anything to do with him. I've never seen them with Eric and to my knowledge, they've never mentioned an Eric. But I do have quite a lot of people working for me and as you can probably understand I don't get to know them personally. I'm their boss and I have to oversee everything. The floor manager might know more. When Lisa comes back, I'll get her to fetch him so you can ask him anything you want. But all the reports I get from day shifts they work never say anything about any problems and Sam Jones, the floor manager, has never reported any problems with either guy. Both have worked here for almost 2 years now without problems. But I don't have a tendency to employ criminals. I need workers I can trust so if they are involved I'm afraid that, like Eric, I will have to fire them. Like I do with every employee, I ran criminal checks on both guys and they came out clean."
"Do know any guys named Thomas Baker, Tony Sprite, Andy Taylor?"
"No, no and no. Never heard of those guys. Sorry."
"That's okay."
"Here you go Agent Rossi, Detective Woods. Copies of both Toby and Mike's files. Sir here are the originals back."
"Thanks Lisa. Could you get Sam, the floor manager up here? He might know Toby and Mike better than I do or at least know if he's friends with anyone else who works here."
"Sure, be right back…."
Within a few minutes, Lisa was back with another guy.
"Hey Sam, how are things going on the floor?"
"Pretty good Mr Edwards. Orders are almost ready to go out now. Sent the last batch of orders out on time and everyone's where they should be."
"Great. Listen this Agent Rossi and this is Detective Woods. They're asking about Toby Williams and Mike Walters, 2 of the day shift floor guys. I'll leave you guys alone to talk but this is Sam Jones, the day shift floor manager. He's their direct boss. You want coffee Agent Rossi? Detective Woods?"
"No thanks we're okay thanks but thanks."
"Sure, there's a coffee machine by the door if you want some."
"Thanks Mr Edwards."
He left the room so Sam Jones could talk to Dave and Woods.
"Is there a problem with Toby and Mike? And why are the FBI and police asking about them?"
"We understand they work here on the floor on the day shifts?"
"Yeah, I'm their direct boss. Toby is due to work tomorrow, Mike the day after. Why? Has something happened to them?"
"Not exactly. They and one of the night shift guards, a Eric Watson, are all implicated and possibly involved in the abduction and kidnapping and possible torture of 3 FBI agents and a MDPD detective and they could be involved in several recent murders committed by the same guy."
"Toby and Mike? There's no way. Their both hard workers and work to their full potential. Both do whatever they have to and do whatever they are ordered to do."
"Have you ever seen them with Eric Watson?"
"Actually yeah, a couple of times when the day shift has finished and the night shift starts I've seen them both talking to Eric and then when the night shift ends and the day shift starts, again I've seen them talking to Eric but I assumed they were friends or something. So I didn't really think about it."
"According to Mr Edwards and the night shift security manager Mr Carter, he kept to himself."
"I don't know about that but I have seen both Toby and Mike talking to Eric on shift changes but a lot of the guys changing shifts talk to and chat to each other."
"Have you ever heard Toby or Mike mention a Thomas Baker, a Tony Sprite, a Gary Watson or an Andy Taylor?"
"Heard them mention the first names of Andy, Gary, Tom, they call him Tom, and Tony but never caught a last name. Figured they were mates of theirs. They've mentioned Eric by first name too but figured Eric was another mate of theirs. They are friendly guys who get on with others. I've never had any problems with either of them. They often work the same day shift but sometimes, like this week, it depends on if anyone is off and who I can get to cover a shift. One thing I have noticed recently is that they've both taken a lot of sick days. They actually don't have any more sick days they can take this year. But in the last few weeks, they've both called in sick on quite a few days. They both know they got no more sick days they can take, so god help them if they do really become sick. But the last few weeks has been unusual for them. Normally they turn up for every shift and work a full shift. Recently they've been either calling in sick or they've left a little early or arrived a little late, and it was getting to the point where I was going to report them to Mr Edwards. I've been putting it off cos it's unusual for them and only happened in the last few weeks. Before then they both had a spotless record, never missing a shift, never calling in sick, always arriving for every shift on time, working a full shift and not leaving til the shift was over. But on his last shift, the day before last, Mike actually disappeared and went home on his afternoon break when he still had another 3 hours to work. We all get a break every couple of hours. Lunch we get a good half hour. He went on a break about 5 but left instead of coming back to work. I was gonna talk to him when he was next in for a shift to give him the chance to explain before I told Mr Edwards. I'm a decent enough guy and I'm willing to give a guy a chance to explain himself before I'll report him. Toby, on his last shift, used his very last sick day and called in sick. I told him he didn't have any more sick days this year he could take so he'd better show up for his next shift or I'd report him and force him to go see a doctor and get a doctors note. I knew he was lying about being sick which is why I threatened to have him forced to go get a doctors note as I know no doctor would give him a note as he wasn't sick. Mike used his last sick day up a couple of days before. He came into work the next day and reported for the shift late. I told him I wanted to talk to him at the end of the shift but its that shift that he left during the afternoon break. I'm going to talk to him before the start of the next shift when he comes in. I'm gonna talk to Toby tomorrow when he reports for his next shift. I need workers who can come for shifts on time, do full shifts and not leave til the shift is over and I need guys I can rely on to come in when they do have a shift. If I'm one person short, it messes everything up and puts more work on the other guys, which isn't fair on them as they already have heavy enough workloads of their own. I was gonna tell them that either they get their act together and go back to being the workers they used to and go back to working full shifts and turning up and on time or they risked getting fired after I'd report them to Mr Edwards. They are beginning to slow the production line down on the floor and because of them orders are going out late, which I can't have happen. Today is a good day, all the orders are going out on time, all the guys working today are all working to their full potential and are working hard and all are getting the job done. All in all a good day for us. We're getting things out on time. Makes everyone happy when we have a good day. Got some great guys working today, everyone's pulling their weight."
"Any of the guys working today that work right alongside either Toby or Mike or are friends with them?"
"Got quite a few guys who get on with both them. Tell you what, the shift finishes in an hour and a quarter, if you guys are willing to stick around, I'll have them stay behind and you can talk to any of them. I just have to finish the shift and get these orders out on time first. We don't get these orders out, then the next shift has more work to do so I tend to try and get everything out on time on my shifts, makes it easier for the night shift guy, Paul, and the shift working."
"Don't worry, we understand. We were gonna stick around to talk to Lee Brown and Jason Head, 2 of the night security guards who often work the same night shifts as Eric Watson. We also wanna ask the night security manager, Mr Carter about if he's seen Eric talking to Toby or Mike and if he knows or has heard any of the names of the other guys we know about."
"Sure, no problem. I'll get this shift finished and keep the guys I got in mind back for a few minutes. They are all good guys and will want to help you. But anything more I can do please don't hesitate to ask me. I want to help and I really hope you find your friends Agent Rossi. I can't believe Toby and Mike might be mixed up in this."
"Things surprise people and anyone is capable of anything, but we'll let you get back to work Mr Jones and we'd appreciate talking to whoever you can think of who might help us."
"Sure, no problem. I'm here every day except Monday, my day off so anything I can do to help just let me know. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get back down to the floor."
"Sure no problem. Thanks again Mr Jones."
At the 8pm shift change, Dave and Woods talked to some of the guys who worked and knew both Toby and Mike. They too had seen the guys talking to Eric and had heard some of the first names of the others but they didn't socialise with either Toby or Matt outside of work. Next they went to talk to the 2 security guards who often worked with Eric on night duty but although they often worked alongside, they told Dave and Woods that Eric often kept to himself and never mentioned a personal life. Though they had seen Eric talking to both Toby and Matt but assumed they were friends. Lastly they went back to talk to Mr Carter.
"Hi Agent Rossi, Detective Woods. Have you guys talked to Jason and Lee yet?"
"Yeah but they could only tell us they'd seen Eric talking to Toby and Mike from the day shift but that Eric kept to himself."
"Toby Williams and Mike Walters?"
"Yeah, you know them?"
"I know they work the day shift on the warehouse floor. And yeah I've seen Eric talk to them but guys are always chatting to each other at shift changes so I thought nothing of it."
"Apart from the first names of Toby and Thomas, has he ever mentioned anyone else? Any first names?"
"No, not that I can recall. I was actually surprised by his behaviour on the cell phone occasions as I didn't think the guy had many friends and he'd never done it before, at least whilst working here."
"Apart from the cell phone problems, he's not had any other problems like turning up late for shifts, calling in sick, leaving early, that sort of thing?"
"No, though he has called in sick quite a few times in the past few weeks, which is unlike him but I suppose everyone gets sick sometimes and that's why we have sick days we can take isn't it?"
"Sure."
"Although by the next shift, he's been looking like he was never sick and looked completely healthy so I do question those sick days but he does have every right to call in sick every once in a while if he decides he needs to. But he's never been late for a shift or left early. He can't as we need to go through the witnessing of the gun safe handling and the lockboxes."
After finishing talking to Mr Carter, Dave, Detective Woods and the uniformed officers headed back to the station.
"Anything?" J.J and the others were still in the conference room. Dave told them what they'd found out at the warehouse.
"We didn't really get anything from the movie theatre. They do pay him cash under the table as they don't want to admit they employee a known criminal but they say he's a decent enough worker, turns up on time and does a full shift. He's works on the ticket booth. He talks about his brother, and some guys named Tony, Toby, Andy, Mike and Tom but he never mentions last names. He's next got a shift day after next. But he keeps himself to himself and only interacts with the customers when they're buying tickets and that's only saying what he has to. But he has called in sick so much he's used all the sick days the theatre will give him. He has to turn up for his next shift"
"I went to the grocery store. They said Andy was a good worker. He worked both stocking shelves and behind the cash register. He was also a odd job man and did other things like sweeping up and cleaning up messes. Never complained. Always turned up on time. Does full shifts and they never have a problem with him. He has called in sick a lot lately, so much so that he's used all his available sick days. He's due to work a shift tomorrow from 9am to 6pm and he has to turn up for the shift."
"Seems a common occurrence lately for these guys to keep calling in sick. Eric's called in sick quite a lot too. Toby and Mike haven't got any more sick days they can take. Toby's due to work a shift from 8am til 8pm tomorrow. Mike has a 8am to 8pm shift the day after. Eric's working the 8pm to 8am night shift. So within 24 hours, we can nab all 3 guys if we don't get them before then!"
"Be a good day."
"Oh yeah! The best!"
"I know it's after 9pm but hopefully Jack and Henry might still be awake. I did promise them updates as soon as I could call."
"You can try them. If they're asleep I'll bet they'll wake up to hear any news."
Dave sat there and dialled Jess's home number. Sean answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Hey Sean, it's me."
"Hey Dave! Any news on my bro and the others?"
"Maybe. I was wondering, I know it's almost half 9 but are the boys asleep?"
"Not quite, they're still up watching TV with me and Jess. Hang on I'll put you on speaker. Hey Jack turn off the TV, Dave's on the phone."
They all jumped up, turned off the TV and ran to the phone as Sean put it on speaker.
"Okay Dave, your on speaker now."
"Any news on our dads Uncle Dave?"
"We found some really good stuff out Jack. Just after your mom finished talking to you Henry, Garcia found matching numbers and matched them to a whole load of names. They match all 7 first names we had. We know who all these guys are now. We know their addresses, where they work, their cell numbers, everything. Garcia is waiting for one guy to turn on their cell phone. She's got all 7 tracking now. All that has to happen with that is for one guy to turn on his cell phone for one minute and we can get a location on where the guy is. In the meantime we've talked to guys who've worked with the other guys involved. One guy is due to start work at 8am, two at 9am, one at 8pm and the others are due for shifts the next day. We can arrest 3 of them tomorrow morning when they turn up for work. If we don't get the rest before then, we can arrest the others as they turn up for work. The only guy that doesn't have a job is the main bad guy who seems to be living off the others. He's also squatting in a house and living in a house that doesn't belong to him. That's where he is now we think. And we think that's where your dads, Morgan and Matt are being held. But we've found out a lot about all the other guys involved in the last few hours and by tomorrow morning, we'll have 3 of them arrested. They'll lead us to the others, who in turn will lead us to the main bad guy and to your dads, Morgan and Matt. It could be only 1 more day til we find everyone, it all depends on how tomorrow goes but we will be arresting 3 of them when they report for work in the morning. So very soon, this could all be over guys."
"YEAH! AWESOME NEWS!"
"YEAH! That's awesome news Uncle Dave!"
"Wow! You guys are moving fast!"
"This case is moving fast Jess. We're just moving with it."
"So Aaron and the others could really be coming home soon?"
"Yeah very soon Sean, I'm sure of it."
