Chapter 7

After a few hours of people breaking everything down, putting it all into vans and transporting it back to Amanda’s house, Tommy’s room now looks like communication central. The house is full of FBI technicians. Computer, cables, and people fill the house in every room. There are five black FBI vans out front with the big radar dishes on top spinning around. All of the neighbors are walking the street wondering what’s going on. Amanda is running around asking people if they want coffee or anything amidst the confusion. Sarah and the boys are out back sitting at the picnic table eating some sandwiches that Tommy’s mom has made for them. They are discussing game strategies and throwing stories around of what might have happened to Tommy. It’s starting to get dark. The little back porch light goes on and Steven comes walking out through the back door and stands next to the table. He looks at Sarah. The boys stop talking. Everyone looks at Steven except Sarah.

“Sarah, they are ready for you now.” Steven reports as he puts his hand on her shoulder.

Sarah gets up, brushes the crumbs off of her jeans, fixes her bra strap underneath her black t-shirt, and turns to the boys,

“Game time boys.” She conveys.

They all get up and follow her into the house with Steven leading they way. All the FBI agents they pass along the way stop what they are doing and watch as they all pass by. It’s like a parade, and Sarah is the confident princess. Sarah walks with perfect posture and eyes fixed straight ahead. When they get to the kitchen, Amanda is standing there with a dish and rag in her hand, watching the entourage walk through. Sarah glances over to Amanda, breaks character with a frightened confused look on her face and shrugs her shoulders. Then returns her fixed stare straight ahead, as they head out of the kitchen and go upstairs to Tommy’s room.

When they get into the room, Sarah and the boys are completely overwhelmed by all the equipment that is setup, but doesn’t let it show. One of the FBI guys pulls the chair out for her and she sits gracefully trying to act calm. In front of her are a large monitor and two energy drinks sitting on the desk. She tries to act unaffected by all the attention. She sits calmly in the chair with her hands folded on her lap waiting for everyone to get everything ready. The boys collect what chairs they can find and surround them selves behind her.

Steven comes up to her holding some papers. He hands her the papers and pictures.

“There was another assignation attempt. Only one FBI agent was shot in the arm. Everyone else escaped unharmed. Does this look like Tommy’s work?” He inquires.

Sarah looks at the pictures of the scene one by one and hands them back to the boys behind her as she goes through them.

“I told you Tommy needs my help me to do this.
