In a small all night diner near Whitney University
Hurst and Krieg sat at a back booth.
They had four files and two notepads spread out
amongst cheeseburgers and french fries.
"Okay,"Katherine began as she picked up a pencil,"Lets
treat this like any other homicide case."
Hurst raised an eyebrow,"Treat it as a normal case?
Okay we have our victim who's the scientist who blew
the lid on this new human species. The main suspect in
her death is her boyfriend who's an FBI agent. We have
a John Doe who went to college with the victim who
turns out to be one of the new species."
Krieg took a sip of her soda,"Okay so normal may have
been the wrong term but I think you have something
there."
Hurst glanced up from his burger,"What?"
Katherine thumbed through her notebook,"Our John Doe.
If we can trace his steps we might be able to find out
why he was killed in Daniels's room."
Peter smirked,"He was there because Daniels's lured
him there to kill him."

Katherine ignored her partner's attempt at
humor,"Think about it,Peter. This guy's a FBI agent.
He knows his girlfriend's missing he's not going to
risk her safety buy getting arrested for killing a guy
in his rented room."
"You're assuming he cared about her at all."Peter
replied through a mouthful of fries.
Krieg rubbed her head in a futile effort to get rid of
her headache,"Alright,let's forget the love story for
now and concentrate on the John Doe. What was his name
again?"
Hurst reached for a file on the opposite side of the
table nearly toppling Krieg's soda in the
process,"Timothy something."
"Here it is,"Hurst stated as he opened the
file,"Timothy Hanson."

When Lewis had peaked out into the corridor he had
been just in time to see Tom being pulled into the
hallway.
Now as he started to follow the group who had taken
Tom he could only hope that Attwood kept Sanchez under
control.
His plan and Daniels's safety depended on it.

Tom barely noticed that the elevator had reached its
destination.
He was too busy trying not to think.
Thinking would give away what he was trying to protect
the most.
Which was hard to do when all his instincts were
asking him if this was the right thing.
But it was too late to back out now.
He had to go with the flow and see where things led.
Perhaps them he could find an opening to escape.

Colin had just stepped out of the elevator and into
the parking garage when his cellular phone rang. He
cursed as he motioned for the men holding Tom to stop.
"Whatever it is,it can wait."Colin snapped as he
answered the phone,"I don't care who it is; you know
what I'm in the middle of. Fine I will be there
shortly."
As he ended the phone conversation Colin turned to
face the henchmen,"Gentlemen I'm afraid you'll have to
handle this transfer yourselves. I assume you can
handle this without any problems?"
A red haired man in his mid thirties nodded,"Yes,Sir."
With a nod Colin turned and retreated into the
elevator.

Tate put a reasurring hand on Sloan's shoulder as he
gently pushed her back against the pillow,"Tom's
fine.You need to rest,Sloan, you've been through a
lot."
Sloan glared at him,"I know what I've been through,Ed.
If Tom was fine he'd be here. He's trapped in a life
that he's tried so hard to distance himself from."
Ed's eyes flickered to Sloan's heart monitor which had
started to increase,"Ray and I will look for him,I
promise. But only if you promise me that you'll get
some rest."
Sloan's eyes were already drifting closed as she
nodded,"Promise."she replied softly.
