would
recognize the storage facility from the satellite
images.”
    “ It’s certainly worth a
try,” Agent Angie said. “Why don’t you get your laptop Agent
Tony?”
    “ Sure,” Agent Tony said.
“Can I get you anything?”
    “ We’d like to get out of
here,” Aden said.
    “ Nash and Noelle are
waiting for us,” Sandy said. “We have one more day of fun things
planned.”
    “ Then it’s four weeks of
work and back to school,” Sissy said.
    “ I’ll hurry,” Agent Tony
said.
    They waited just a few moments before the
agent returned. Sandy moved aside so that he, Aden and Sissy could
look at the map. With Aden’s support and guidance, Sissy easily
found the storage facility. She pointed to the end of a row on the
north edge of the facility.
    “ Right there,” she
said.
    “ She wears a key around
her neck,” Charlie said.
    “ That’s right,” Sandy
said. “It’s under her cross. She used to call it the key to her
heart.”
    “ Wouldn’t she have to
remove everything for treatment?” Charlie asked. “I
did.”
    “ I did too,” Sissy pulled
on the tiny gold cross she wore around her neck.
    “ Good thinking,” Agent
Tony smiled like they’d given him the golden goose.
    “ I’ll tell you what,”
Agent Angie stood. “Why don’t you go back to the resort? Agent Tony
and I will keep Sandy and Aden updated on what we find.”
    Aden hopped to his feet. Charlie stood and
Sissy followed. At the door, Sandy turned back to the agents.
    “ Thank you for your
sensitivity,” Sandy said. “I know this could have been a lot
worse.”
    “ We don’t want to harm
them,” Agent Tony said.
    “ I know,” Sandy said.
“Thanks.”
    She waved a hand and trotted to catch up
with her family.
    “ Well?” Agent Angie
asked.
    “ She’s better than I could
have ever imagined,” Agent Tony said. “I can see why O’Malley is so
protective of her.”
    “ They’re all amazing. Did
you know Aden’s a Gilmore?” Agent Angie asked.
    “ Of Gary Gilmore?” Agent
Tony asked.
    “ His nephew,” Agent Angie
said.
    “ Wow,” Agent Tony
said.
    “ They’re all pretty wow,”
Agent Angie said. “Come on, let’s go close this case.”

Denver, CO
     
    Seth clicked the wireless headset off to end
another phone call with another FBI agent. Much to Maresol’s
disapproval, the phone had been ringing off the hook. In fact, Seth
had been on that ‘stupid phone’ for so long she had to set up a
charging station for the seconds in-between calls.
    “ If you take one more
call,” Maresol had said an hour and four phone calls ago. “I’m
going to call Bumpy and ask him for something stronger!”
    Maresol was a woman of her word.
    Bumpy was suddenly standing in the doorway.
His eyes flicked to the side as if to say that Maresol was standing
behind him. She gave the big man a little shove and he entered the
room. Maresol followed.
    “ This man is very sick,”
Maresol was so rattled she was speaking rapid Spanish. “He’s on
leave from that stupid job that he doesn’t need to keep and I can’t
keep him off the damned phone!”
    Bumpy put his hand on Maresol’s shoulder
causing her to look up into his eyes. Seth watched the two old
friends assess each other. Maresol gave a slight nod and looked
away.
    “ You want to tell me why
you’re worrying my dear friend Maresol,” Bumpy raised an eyebrow at
Seth.
    Seth opened his mouth and the phone rang
again.
    “ I’m going to throw that
stupid thing out,” Maresol grabbed his Blackberry and turned it
off.
    Seth gave Bumpy a kind of ‘look what I have
to deal with’ look and Bumpy’s brow furrowed. As if he was
wondering who to treat first, he looked from Seth to Maresol and
then back to Seth. Seth raised his eyebrows in anticipation of the
question
    “ Whacha doin’ Seth?” Bumpy
asked.
    “ Lying here,” Seth
said.
    “ Yes, you are acting like a
thirteen year old child,” Bumpy said.
    Seth laughed and
