Three helicopters were landing, as Mr. Patrick was approaching me. He was now dressed in bright orange overalls, which evidently the EMS crew had given him. “Mr. Pat, you look like ‘Otto, the orange,’ I said.

A few of the officers and EMS crew members got the picture and laughed.

“I’m afraid I don’t know who Otto is?” Patrick said.

“Otto, the orange, the mascot, for Syracuse University. You don’t follow college football?”

“I’m afraid not. But, here, I’ve got one of these overalls for you also,” he said, handing me a pair of the brightly colored orange uniforms.

I walked over to Cardenas, handing him his phone back, I asked, “Who’s in charge of coordinating the search?”

Cardenas took his phone back, and replied, “Lieutenant Phillips, with our State Police. He’s over there with the pilots. They’re looking at a map.”

“Thanks, Cardenas,” I said. I gingerly put on my overalls, keeping my tee shirt as an extra layer, and delicately walked over to Phillips.

“Lieutenant Phillips, I’m Joey Mancuso,” I said, extending a handshake.

“Mancuso, how’s your ankle? he asked, looking at our uniforms.

“It’s sprained, but, I’ll survive. I have new information on the possible location of Belford, and Special Agent Martinez.”

“We were just looking at the map,” he replied.

I nodded in the direction of the three pilots. “My office followed his GPS until it no longer transmitted a signal. He either disconnected it or switched cars.”

“You said before; he might be headed north and west?” Phillips asked.

“Yes, but, when we lost the signal, he was on Canistear Road, headed south.”

Phillips exchanged glances with the pilots. “How long ago was that?” he asked.

“That must have been one hour ago, now.”

“So, he’s been gone almost two hours, and one hour ago he was on Canistear?” he asked, unfolding the map on top of the hood of a car.

“Say he’s traveling at sixty miles per hour, the most, he can’t be more than one hundred-twenty miles from us,” I said.

“Shit,” Phillips said, “I already had the State police north of us ready to go. Now, I have to contact the States south of us. Are you sure, Mancuso?”

“Yes, Lieutenant, they tracked him going south.”

“Well, let’s get these birds in the air. We’ll fly over Canistear,” he said, looking at the pilots. “Understand, that we’ll need to hand this over, once we reach the State line.’

“I understand. What about the FBI? Are they bringing helicopters?”

“Yes, they are. They can cross State lines. I’ll inform them of this new information. You think this Belford, switch cars, or just disconnected the GPS?”

I thought for a second, “I don’t think he’s going to risk stealing a car. My feeling is, he switched license plates, at the most, and killed the GPS on his jeep.”

“Okay, we’ll go with that. He reached for his car radio, and communicated the route he wanted the cars to take, and informed everyone. The helos were going to be flying over Canistear Road.”

Patrick, the orange man, was standing next to me. “What are we going to do?”

I replied, I don’t know, let me see.
