The sun was just peeking out over the eastern sky when they arrived back at the station to see Detective Mason.

“How you doing?” Dwight was behind the wheel while Nick continued to dry out.

“Better. I’ll be all right.”

“Well, you still look like shit.”

“Thanks.” Nick looked through the side-view mirror at Kate.

She caught his gaze, but he quickly returned his attention to the front. “I see Mason out front now.” Kate noticed the woman as she stood outside the station doors with a coffee in hand.

She began to walk out to meet them.

Dwight opened the door and stepped outside. “Morning. You ready?”

“As I’ll ever be.” Mason turned and the two walked side by side. “You guys manage any sleep at all?”

“Some,” Dwight replied without acknowledging what had happened. No one would know that they’d spent the past two hours trying to sober up their boss.

Inside, the early hour seemed of no consequence to the many officers working hard to help find the man who just killed a boy and was looking to kill more. Kate almost felt guilty for leaving at all. “We’re going to need to take a two-pronged approach. Keep searching for Stroud and find out who those kids are and make sure they’re safe,” she said to Mason.

The team made their way into the bullpen where the images and maps and anything else that pertained to Stroud’s whereabouts lay upon a table. It wasn’t exactly the way things were usually laid out back at the WFO where they had space and privacy to create a board and a timeline. Here, the officers were crammed into a bullpen with a few low privacy walls between the desks and was open for suspects, victims, and the like to waltz right through. Not exactly the best place to line out what one was working on. Not to mention, most of these guys worked multiple cases at once. But they did the best they could with what they had.

“As you can see, we’ve already tried to begin making sense of the information you all found in his home,” Mason said.

Kate leaned in for a closer look. “What about getting some checkpoints in place? Can we reach out to State Police and get them up on the major highways, particularly leading out of state?” She looked at Dwight. “I can also get Vasquez to give us a hand with coordination.”

Nick walked toward the table and began to study it closely. “I count five children in total and he’s already taken two of them.” He pushed aside the photos of Emily Aldrich and Colton Talbot. “Let’s piece together this information and see if we can find out if these posts and articles connect with any of these three remaining kids. Names, locations; that’s what we need right now.” He turned around to Kate. “State Police should implement checkpoints in addition to the BOLO already out. The only thing we have on our side right now is that we can safely assume he's taken his grandmother’s car.
