Inside the Building
"I'll go right, you go left" Matt said. Emily nodded in agreement. They rounded the corner, Frank and Duff got into position so that they had Emily and Matt covered. "Go" Frank commended over the ear piece. Matt and Emily approached the two suspects with extreme cautious, Emily got to the suspects first "FBI, freeze" she said with her gun drawn.
"Whoa, we didn't do anything" said the male. Emily had a look at the two people she was holding a gun on. A male and female, and neither could be more than seventeen. "Put your hands where I can see them" Emily said as Matt, Frank, and Duff approached. Emily kept her gun drawn while Frank checked the two for concealed weapons. "We're clear" Frank said
"Dude, it's just alcohol" the male said again
"What's your name?" Emily asked lowering her weapon but not putting it away
"I'm Holly, this is Cody" the young girl said
"Alright, I'm Agent Emily Lehman, we just need to asked you some questions" Emily said
"What are you doing here?" Matt asked
"Look dude, I watch TV I know we don't have to answer any questions without a lawyer" Cody replied
"Fine. Let’s go downtown to the FBI building and call that lawyer and your parents" Emily said
"Wait, my dad will flip if he has to pick me up at the FBI, let's just answer their questions" Holly pleaded with Cody
"Fine" Cody replied "some dude paid us 200 bucks and bought us this alcohol. All we had to do was wait inside this building until after 2:00 than we could just leave. It was a sweet deal"
Matt pulled out the missing poster with Isabella on it. "Was this girl with the guy?" he asked
Both teenagers shook their heads. "It was just the guy" Holly said
"Alright, excuse us for a second" Emily said. She wave for Matt and Frank to follow her while Duff kept an eye on them "they don't know anything; they were just out doing teenage stuff." Frank said
"I agree but we still need to take them in, we need a statement and they may be able to give a description of the guy to a sketch artist" Emily said
"Anyone else starting to get the impression we've been played?" Matt asked
"Yep but now we have reasonable cause and we can check out that building" Emily said as she walked back to where Holly and Cody were waiting. "OK, I want you two to go with Agent Gonzalez and see if you can describe the guy who paid you to a sketch artist."
"But my parents" Holly said
"We won't notify your parents though I suggest you do since it is almost 3 in the morning" Emily said. Duff took the two teenagers and walked towards the car to drive them back to the FBI office. The other three agents walked back to the other car, they needed to get permission from their bosses before entering the building and standing out in public was not helping them stay under cover. Once back in the car, Emily pulled out her cell "I'll give Cheryl an update" she told the boys as she hit speed dial for Cheryl. "Yes Mam, I understand but...Ok...we'll do that" Emily hung up the phone, not looking very happy. "Due to the fact that this is missing persons jurisdiction, all updates have to go to missing and Murphy and Johnson" Emily explained "Matt, you call"
"Why can't you call?" Frank asked very curious to hear the answer
"Because I'll say something that will get us thrown off the case" Emily replied as Matt picked up his cell and made the call.
"You don't like Murphy and Johnson, do you?" Frank asked
"Not even a little bit" Emily replied
"Ok, so Murphy and Johnson are on their way, we are to wait for them to arrive before entering the building, because you know we have never entered a hot zone before" Matt said sarcastically and rolling his eyes
Twenty minutes later, Murphy and Johnson and back up had showed up. The building had been cleared and now they were looking for any evidence that placed Isabella at that spot. There was more than enough agents covering the main room so Emily decided to check the back room, she walked down the hallway, she came to the door, she turned the knob but the door was locked. "Darn it" she thought to herself. She heard footsteps come up behind her; she quickly turned around "Little jumping, aren't we? Lehman" Agent David Murphy said. Emily took a deep breathe and it took all her will power to bite her tongue. "The door is locked" she told him
"Do you need help breaking it down?" David asked
Emily rolled her eyes and walked back from the door so she would have more room, she pulled her gun out just in case and with all of her strength she kicked the door in. "No thanks" She whispered to David before carefully entering the room. She looked around the room, no one was inside "clear" she said to David who was right behind her with his gun drawn. The light switch was next to David so he turned it on. However, neither agent expected to see what was in that room. In the far corner there was a tiny bed, Emily could just make out that there were chains coming from the headboard more likely used to restrain someone and lay carefully atop of the bed was a child's doll. But that wasn't the most disturbing thing; on the floor next to the bed was a pool of blood, behind the bed the walls were also covered with blood. Emily walked back out of the room and called back to everyone "hey, we got something down here"
Emily walked back into the room and David looked at her "no one could survive losing that much blood."
