that it was time to go.
    Burrows quickly added, “Our office will arrange your flight back and I’ll keep you updated. At least it will give you a chance to start the writing for your next exclusive story.”
    “Yes you do that, let me know what’s going on,” Alice said in a sad tone. She had been so excited a few moments ago, she was actually expecting them to say something like, “Let’s hit the streets!”
    She sighed to herself as they walked away, thinking, I’ve been watching too much damn TV, why would I think the Feds would want me to tag along with them?
    As she ordered another coffee, it was a huge effort on her part to prevent her eyes from tearing up.

    As soon as Agent Burrows and Agent Campbell arrived back at the office, Campbell immediately drafted a report to send to Frank Brubaker, leaving Burrows to put out the bulletin about the partial number of the car.
    An hour later, Agent Burrows was making out her report and waiting for orders to fly up to Pennsylvania, when she noticed Agent Campbell on the phone. He was writing something down hurriedly. Lifting his head, he caught her eye and pointed his thumb to the door behind him. Burrows grabbed her coat immediately; she knew it was a lead.
    She walked closer and then getting into earshot, she heard him say, “Thank you, sergeant. We’ll be there as quick as we can.”
    He grabbed his coat and marched off in long strides, making it hard for Burrows to keep up.
    “What have we got?” she asked from behind him.
    “Sergeant Pitt thinks the photo sketch looks like some Pakistani kid that works at a garage, washing and valeting cars. The sergeant says the kid cleaned his car only yesterday.”
    “I think we should take Alice with us, just in case he’s the one.”
    Campbell slowed down a little and then said, “Okay, call her and tell her to get her skates on. We’ll be outside her hotel waiting for her.”
    Alice hadn’t been back in her room very long and she was actually considering making notes for her next article when her cell phone buzzed. Her first thoughts were, It’s the FBI office with my flight information so she picked up the call and began to say, “ Hi, that was quick. You haven’t gone and hired a special flight…”
    “Alice, a lead has come up,” Burrows interrupted her, “so get yourself out front. We’re stopping at your hotel to pick you up. Move!”
    Alice, surprised that a lead had come in so fast, tried to reply that she’d be ready but Burrows had already hung up. The sense of urgency she felt was overwhelming and she stood still for a moment, unsure of what to do. Then the adrenaline kicked in and she leapt to action. She grabbed her note book and shoved it in her coat pocket, put her coat on and ran to the elevator. The excitement was back and she loved it!
    Alice only had to wait a minute in front of the hotel before Campbell’s car came screeching to a stop. She was in the car before either of them had a chance to tell her to get in.
    “What kept you?” Alice asked sarcastically.
    The comment brought a smile to Burrows’ face and she immediately filled Alice in. It was a half hour ride to the precinct and as Campbell took the street corners sharply, he and Burrows weighed their options. Alice’s mind went to John; not quite ten minutes ago, she had been thinking of calling him to tell him that she would be home by the time he got back from work. Now she was off looking for a Pakistani boy.
    At the precinct, Sergeant Pitt was already waiting for them. They all shook hands with him and Pitt went over his story again. When he was done, he gave them the address of the garage. They were back in the car in no time and Campbell drove crazily to the garage and pulled into the forecourt. It was a tiny garage that looked like it could be fully staffed and operated by just one man.
    “This may be a wild goose chase,” Campbell said, looking the place over, “I can’t see a back exit, so I think I’ll
