At 7:00am the following day, Tara was investigating the video footage of Myles, the mystery woman and the black SUV in his driveway. Tara paused at the exact moment in time when the mystery woman's picture was clear. She zoomed into the woman's face, and took a high resolution snapshot on her laptop. Then, she sent the image to the printer. Once printed, she went over to Jack and placed it onto his desk. Tara asked, "This is the mystery lady. Does she look familiar to you?"

Jack grabbed the photo. At first glance, Jack would've said no, but upon closer inspection, the woman's face gave him a sense of deja vu; he just couldn't place where he'd seen her before. He turned to Bobby, "Hey Bobby, this is a picture of the lady at Myles' house. Do you recognize her? I do, but I cannot place my finger on where I've seen her before."

Bobby took a hard glance at the photo before him. Without hesitation, he answered, "Oh yeah. Her name is Wanda…I think."

Jack squinted. "Wanda? Wanda who?"

Bobby shrugged. "Wanda…y'know…the waitress at Brandy Station? We were there five or six years ago, investigating a plane crash that was smuggling cocaine. Don't you remember? She only said her name five times."

Jack rolled his eyes. "How could I forget?" He then looked back at the picture and confirmed, "Yeah, I guess you're right. That is Wanda." A beat. "But what's Myles doing with her? Did they keep in contact or something?"

Bobby said, "There's only one of two possibilities, mate. Either they swapped phone numbers years ago, or he accidentally ran into her yesterday, and she somehow convinced him to go somewhere with her. I choose door #2, because there is no way that Myles would ever want to be with Wanda on his own accord…only if he's lost his mind."

Tara commented, "Myles doesn't get along with a lot of people. Anyway, now that we know who he is with, the question is where is he?"

Bobby suggested, "Wanda is from Brandy Station. Maybe she took him there."

Suddenly, the new girl at Myles' desk said in a harsh tone, "Your teammate has been gone for almost 24 hours now. He could be halfway across the country, so give up. You're trying to find a needle in a haystack."

Bobby muttered in Jack's direction, "Y'know, I can tolerate Myles, but I don't think I can tolerate Elke."

Suddenly, in his peripheral vision, Jack noticed Sue's green light go off. This meant that she was receiving a phone call. Jack continued, "Yes, we can locate Wanda at Brandy Station…"

Elke interjected, "Guys, I know you're upset that your friend didn't tell you where he was going and who he was going with, but…he's on vacation, and he can do what he likes with it. It's quite obvious that he doesn't want to be found. Just leave him alone. He'll be back in two weeks. Besides, shouldn't you all be working?"

Bobby held his tongue. This lady was new to this unit; she couldn't possibly understand why they wanted to know where Myles was. They wanted to know, because they were worried about their friend who was severely sick, and the team wanted to make sure that their little brother wasn't going to do something stupid, like harm himself. He already pulled a stunt on them; they wouldn't put it past him to pull another one.

Meanwhile, Sue answered her phone, "Hello?"

She watched her computer intently to see who was calling. Text appeared on her screen:

"Ms. Thomas, don't be alarmed…"

"Who is this," asked Sue. This person obviously knew her.

The person answered, "Sorry, I'm calling from a separate phone line, because I left mine at home; otherwise I would've texted you."

Sue gasped. "YOU!"

The person on the other end said, "Yes, Sue?"

Anger was coursing through her veins. She yelled, "I'm going to kill you!"

This caused everyone in the vicinity to look at Sue and watch her tirade. Sue never got mad, but when she did, she was a force to be reckoned with. "First, you're going to tell me where you are."

Jack and Bobby looked at each other with wide eyes. Could it be Myles?

"Sue…"

"And then I'm going to drive over to your location with Jack's gun and shoot you until you are half dead. And after I shoot you, I'm going to hang you on a tree. And then when you're three quarters dead, I'm going to cut you down from the tree, lop off all your body parts, and feed you to the wolves…or whatever animals are hanging around you right now."

The man answered, "...You've been hanging around Lucy too long."

"Myles, this is not funny! You worried us all to death!"

"I did, huh? Well, it's highly reassuring to know you all care for my prosperity."

"Of course we care! We were so worried about you last night. I brought you supper, but you weren't answering your door, so Jack and Bobby came over to help me find you. We thought you hurt yourself."

"Huh…so am I right to assume that all of you broke into my home?"

Sue scoffed, "Yes, we did, but it was for your benefit."

He commented, "Darn…I should have notified you earlier. Anyway, I'm calling to let you know that I'm away from my house and that I'm okay."

Sue looked up and saw the current team gathering around her desk, patiently waiting for her to end the call and give them a detailed report on their friend. Sue then gawked at Bobby's desk area, and could see Dimitrius making an attempt to trace the call. "Oh yeah? Where are you Myles?"

Myles said, "I apologize for worrying you guys. Long story short, an old acquaintance offered me to come on a road trip with them, and I took the opportunity because I needed to get out of the city. Plus, it sounded relaxing, and that's just what I need. Peace and quiet."

"You left your cell phone."

"I know, because the lady and her husband told me that cell phones weren't allowed. I had no choice but to obey their commands."

"I'm furious, Myles. Absolutely furious with you. Where are you?"

"I wish I could say Sue," Myles said reluctantly, "But I know if I tell you, you guys are just going to find and fetch me, and I don't want to be found right now. I need to spend some quality time alone, as much as you hate it. There are some nice folks here that are going to take care of me. I'm in a place that'll put my mind at ease in a healthy manner."

Sue managed to calm herself, but she swore that she was still going to find Myles and kill him with her bare hands. She then asked him, "How're you feeling?"

"I feel okay, so far. I actually slept last night. Anyway, I've got to go. I've got a big day ahead of me. Say hello to the team for me." He then hung up.

Sue then looked at Dimitrius who had just hung up Bobby's phone. He told the crew, "The caller was traced to a home in rural Virginia. That's about all I got."

Jack quickly asked, "That was Myles?"

Sue nodded her head. "Of course, and I'm going to kill him."

Bobby chuckled. "I know. We heard you."

Jack then said, "Okay, so since the call is rural, Myles might be in Brandy Station after all."

Dimitrius said, "Well, we have some time. Sue and Jack, if you'd like to go to Brandy Station for an official search on our agent, be my guest."

When Dimitrius left, Jack quickly turned to Sue, and asked, "What did he say?"

Sue, knowing that Jack was referring to Myles, answered, "Myles said that he was okay, and that he wouldn't be doing anything stupid. He didn't tell me where he was, because he made it clear that he wanted to be left alone. But I can't leave him alone, Jack. Please, let's find him, and make sure that he's taken care of. Once I'm satisfied with what I see, I will leave him alone until he gets back from holidays."

Jack smiled. How did he end up with a wonderful, caring woman like her? "Sue, are you actually going to shoot Myles, and hang him from a tree?"

Sue said, "I wish I could right now, however, the best I can do is hit him with my shoe."

Jack chuckled. "Now that would be a sight to see. Let's go."


Myles hung up the phone. Well…he did it; he unleashed Sue's wrath…again. Now, he could get on with his day. While eating breakfast, Wanda, Gregory and he discussed fishing and where they would like to start and end their journey. They planned to fish throughout the week. On the first leg, Wanda and Gregory were set on teaching Myles the ropes. After that, he could do whatever he wanted. He could continue to fish with them, or go downstream a bit and keep to himself. He preferred to do the latter since the couple reminded him at breakfast that they were too much for him to handle. He needed peace, calmness, and common sense.
