“UUAV #16 is over the vehicle now, Sir,” the agent responsible for the hover drones informed her commander. “Video is coming up on the main screen in three, two, one.” The greenish glow of night vision video flashed across the huge display screen on the wall. The image came in and out of focus, until the correct focus was shown. A single SUV in the corner of a parking lot was visible. A smaller video display popped up in the upper corner of the screen. A picture within a picture containing the infrared imagery.

“Are they inside?” Goodman asked. Agent Greene stood at his side. The video screen showed the camera angle on the vehicle slowly changing. The drone was being maneuvered from straight above to the side to peer inside the SUV. The infrared display showed no heat sources other than the vehicle's engine.

Agent Goodman again swore aloud, though more to himself than to anyone in particular. He knew what they were going to find. “Bring the drone down closer. Get a cruiser over there now. And send in the other drones. We have to start scanning the area.” A side view of the SUV was being shown on the central display on the wall. It was evident there was no one inside.

Goodman turned to Greene, “I think that motherfucker Fraser fucked us. Why else would he have abandoned his car and obviously dumped the tracking devices?” Goodman smashed his fist against the command desk. “When we catch that fucker, once we're finished with him, I'm going to personally put a bullet through his fucking brains!”

Agent Greene chimed in, “It's just as likely that he's improvising his mission. He may be acting in such a way to convince the subject to trust him. Either way, Dylan and the terrorist leader would be expecting an all out search for them. Which we should do.”

Goodman nodded his head. “Your assessment may be correct. But my gut is telling me he fucked us and he's already fled. It's a manhunt now. We'll see who wins this game.”

Before he had confirmation that the subjects had disappeared, Goodman walked over to the side of the first row of console stations and began barking a series of orders. “Agent Amaral, get the State Police on the line. Agent Tran contact Commander Stevenson, inform him I want all available DHS patrol cars searching for our subjects. Gonzalez, get me the drone fleet commander on the line. And who's in charge of the street level video surveillance for that area? Find out how they left the area. Did they have any help? ” A flurry of “Yes, Sirs” where heard across the command center.

One of the agents in the room called out, “We have the Watertown police approaching the vehicle now, Sir.” Goodman walked over to the agent. “OK, they're at the car. They're reporting no occupants in the vehicle. Hold on...they've found Homeland Security uniforms in the back seat.” Agent Greene walked up behind Goodman. “He must have had help.
