At the Market residence, now after 10:00 p.m., the family and Lauren are all in the living room chatting. Back on task, Lauren has steered the conversation towards discussion about keeping journals.

Downstairs, FBI Agent, turned-electrician, George Sandoval, is crouched on the floor watching as lead FBI Agent, turned-insurance-adjuster, Albert Hinton, paces back and forth. Hinton is deep in thought on how to manage to stay close to the Market family as the time for their insurance man to leave, comes; but even more concerning is this question of why the sniper seemed to want them to know that he was out there, waiting for them. Without taking a shot, he has had both him and Lauren Coles in his sights. In his mind there’s no doubt about it, he must know somehow that they are government agents.

The veteran agent is legitimately perplexed. “Damn, I need Ramirez!”

Sandoval, “Why, what are you thinking?”

Hinton, “You ever had a feeling that something is going on, and you are just one bit of information shy of figuring it out?”

Sandoval, “Maybe you can reach him at home, it’s pretty late on a Saturday. He’s gotta family, doesn’t he?”

“Yeah, but, he’s with the Secret Service AD somewhere. I think they are sequestered.”

“My God! Sequestered? Sir, please, when department heads are being tucked away for safekeeping, that’s serious! Now, come on!”

Hinton, calming Sandoval down, “No, no, no. I don’t think it’s– It’s not that. Listen, I’ll tell you everything that I know, but this isn’t the time. Right now, it’s just you and me, and I need to bounce some ideas off you.”

“Okay, okay. Go.”

“So you just found out that there’s a kid in New York that has info that you need, info that could make or break a nation. What do you do?”

“I go get him.”

“Yeah, you do. Don’t you? But what if you can’t get to him?”

“Then I wait for an opportunity when I can.”

“Agreed. But what if it looks like somebody else is going to take him first?”

“And that’s gonna end my chance at getting him?”

“Yeah.”

“Well, sir, if my nation depends on me getting this kid, I’m gonna kill the people trying to take him before I can, and then I’m gonna take him.”

“Right, and they had the chance to do it. The question is, why didn’t they?”

“Maybe the timing wasn’t right on their end; the pickup wasn’t in place.”

“That’s exactly where I wind up, which means we should be expecting company.”

Sandoval then says, “Correcto!”

“How are you packed?”

“I just got my Glock service weapon.”

“Same here. I may have a rifle in the magic trunk.”

“The wha–?”

Hinton smiles a little and says, “The trunk of my car, it’s kind of a joke I have with– Never mind. I think I was supplied a rifle.”

“Nice! We’ll go get it.”

“Well, here’s the thing, we’ve got to pack out of here or our cover is blown right? But if our theory holds true, the reason Agent Coles and I don’t have sniper bullet holes in us is the sniper didn’t want to accidentally kill the kid.
