behind the desk and lit a cigarette.  During his third inhale his door opened and Edgar entered the room.  He took a seat at the opposite side of the desk and Bobby could see he was pissed off.
    “Can you believe that idiot?”  Hoover asked.
    Bobby exhaled the smoke through his nose.  “I’m pretty surprised if I’m honest, he’s not usually like that.”
    “He’s always like that with me.”
    “He doesn’t trust you.”  Bobby stated bluntly.
    “I don’t trust him either.”
    “Because of the wire tapping?”
    “Well partly, it makes me wonder if he has something to hide.”
    “I think you are being a little paranoid, you were breaking the law.”
    “In the interest of national security.”
    They were interrupted by the ring of the telephone.  After the second ring Bobby answered the phone.
    “Hello, Bobby Stinson.”
    “Bobby its Jane, how are you?”
    “I’ve been better, how are things there?”
    “Terrible.”
    “What’s happened?”
    “Well David tried to commit suicide, he’s in hospital, but don’t worry he should be fine.”
    “He did what?”  Bobby yelled.  Hoover looked suddenly concerned.
    “It happened last night.”
    “How did he do it?”
    “He slit his wrist.”
    “Fucking hell!”
    “Yeah, when we left the hospital he was about to see the Psychiatrist but we haven’t been to see him yet today.  We thought we’d better give you a call before we do anything.
    “Did you see Oswald?”
    “Yes.  So did Ethel.”
    “How did she take it?”
    “As to be expected, Nancy is sat with her just now.  I’m surprised Kennedy never called.”
    “He’s on his way to you.”
    “He left the White House?”
    “Yes I must say I was a little surprised but Ethel means the world to him, he is doing right by her.”
    “I suppose so.  Will and Chase are in New York, they found Josef Mengele.”
    “In New York?”
    “Yup.”
    “Why didn’t one of you go?”
    “Well we couldn’t when David was in hospital.”
    “So he took Chase?”
    “Yeah.”
    “I’m not sure that was a good idea.”
    “There was no one else.”
    “We can’t afford anymore members of staff, the funding just isn’t there.”
    “Have you spoken to Hoover?”
    “He’s with me now.” 
    “What does he think?”
    “Well he believes that Oswald was brought back in the country by a former CIA man, Jacob Cohen.  I’m wondering if Mengele is with them.”
    “It would make sense.”
    “Have you heard from Will or Chase?”
    “No I was hoping you had.”
    “No, not yet.  Well I’ll wait until I hear from them before I do go anywhere.  You guys go and see David and tell him I’m sorry I couldn’t make it.”
    “Will do.”
    “Okay I’ll speak to you later.”
    Bobby hung up just as his office door opened, Abaddon walked into the room looking like a dog chewing a wasp.
    “Who was that?”  He asked.
    “Jane, apparently David tried to commit suicide last night.”
    “Jesus, is he alright?”
    “He’s in the hospital.  Her and Faraday are about to go and visit him.”
    “What about Oswald?”
    “Well Chase and Will are in New York, they found Josef Mengele, we believe he may be with Oswald and this Jacob Cohen.”
    “Have they apprehended them?”
    “I don’t know, we haven’t heard from them.”
    “You run a real tight ship.”  Abaddon stated sarcastically, Hoover made a face so that only Bobby could see.  He was beginning to agree with Hoover.
    “What did you want?”
    “I wanted to warn you never to speak like that to me again.” Abaddon stated angrily.
    “Are you joking?”
    “Not at all.”
    Bobby really wanted to smack Abaddon, but he thought better of it.  “No problem.”
    “Edgar what are the FBI doing?”
    “Well as I said we are tracking Jacob Cohen, if he is with Mengele then when Bobby’s team get in touch I’ll send agents out there.”
    “Good, keep me posted.”
