The lights were back on by the time Dodge and Sam entered the apartment. Faded wallpaper peeled back from the walls. There might have been carpet once, but it was long gone, and grimy floorboards were covered only by a hard-knotted but threadbare rug.
Some jackets, and other indeterminate clothing, hung from a row of wooden pegs inside the door, and a faded photograph of a sailing ship hung lopsidedly in front of the door.
The two dark figures they had seen were stretched out on the ground, receiving medical attention from the soldiers. Their computers were in pieces on the table.
âAny explosives?â Dodge asked the first soldier he saw.
âNone,â the man said.
âI thought we sniffed out ammonia?â Dodge said.
âWe did, but it wasnât explosives,â the man said, and didnât elaborate.
As per his instructions, Sam cloned the drive before starting the computer up and analyzing the hard drive.
It took him just a minute to confirm the extent of the disaster. The computer was wiped clean. The operating system was there, and some basic programs, but nothing else. It was as if it had just been taken out of the box. There was a scattering of code fragments near the boot sector of the disk, but it was garbage.
âThis has been wiped,â Dodge said.
âSame here,â Sam murmured.
âBleedinâ hell, whatâre we going to tell Jaggard?â Dodge asked in a loud voice, then leaned over, talking quietly for Samâs ears only. âWho else knew the location of the terrorists, do you think?â he asked.
âThe insider!â Sam realized with shock.
âAnd who knew we were on our way here?â Dodge pursed his lips and answered his own question. âSame person.â
âYou think the insider did this?â
âIf it is an insider, then it all adds up,â Dodge said. âThey would have done this to clean up any traces that might have led us back to them.â
âThen itâs not just one person,â Sam said. âThey must have had people on the ground here in Chicago.â
âNot only that,â Dodge said, âbut they were able to get in here right under the noses of the Chicago PD and get out again without being seen.â
