Chapter 13

"Let's go through it one more time."

Finch's anger was simmering just below the surface. Biting it back, he glared at the officer who was sitting across from him in the San Antonio police department. "I've already told you everything I know. Why aren't you out there looking for them?"

The door opened, and TJ entered along with another man carrying a folder. With a nod, the officer stood and walked out. Sitting at the table, TJ took the folder from the other one and placed it on the surface and tapped it. "We need to talk about this," he told Finch succinctly. "We got the autopsy report for Sarah Nolan." Motioning to the man standing behind him, TJ introduced him. "He's Cruz Livingston, FBI. I asked him to come in with me."

Finch lifted his chin at the second man then motioned to the folder. "I'm guessing since you're here with that, then there's something going on."

"You could say that." He flipped open the report. Shuffling around until he found the paper he wanted, TJ pulled it out and placed it on top. Turning it around, he pushed it toward Finch. "Do you know what this is?"

Finch glanced down at the page. "Toxicology report."

"Right." He turned it around. "Were you aware that Sarah was taking cyclosporine?"

"I wasn't aware she was taking anything. You know she never regained consciousness. I'm not sure what it's for."

"It's an autoimmune suppressor. It's normally prescribed for people with rheumatoid arthritis or severe cases of psoriasis. In a nutshell, it keeps the body from attacking itself, so it's also given to transplant patients to keep the body from rejections."

"I didn't know she was sick," Finch frowned. Why didn't Sarah tell him?

"Well, that's the thing. She doesn't have rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis or an organ transplant." Cruz chimed in. "As far as we can tell, there's no reason for her to have it."

That cold, sick feeling in Finch's stomach grew. "Then why was she taking it?"

TJ looked up from the file and sat back. "That's a good question, but I have a better one for you. There were trace amounts of it in her system when she was admitted to the hospital." He pointed to the toxicology report. "But the autopsy report came back with triple the normal dose. We've checked the hospital reports and dispersion machines in the ICU. There were no patients requiring cyclosporine in the ICU for the four days Sarah was there. It wasn't administered or even stored on the floor."

"And I was the last one to visit her before she died," Finch growled out. "Are you accusing me of something, TJ?"

"We're just trying to get some answers, Finch."

Cruz took a couple of steps forward and braced his hands on the table. "I took the liberty to have you checked out; looked into your records. You were deployed when Sarah and Lorelei went missing, and you were deployed when they were found. Being a SEAL doesn't make you infallible, but it does garner a certain amount of respect.
