The armored car screeched to a stop and the three of them, along with the driver, jumped out. Ed eyed several police cars already parked in front of the main door with lights flashing. They quickly walked past the first car as two of the police officers were exiting the main door. The look on their faces said it all.
The driver stepped out in front, flashed his ID badge to the officers and said, “What happened?”
The officer glanced at the card and said, “You called this in?”
“Yes,” the driver answered and then asked, “What happened?”
“Got two bodies in there.”
“I have a dire feeling about this,” Ed said, exchanging glances with Alex. He then stepped up and asked, “May we take a look inside?”
“This is a crime scene,” the officer answered.
Ed stepped closer. “It is of the utmost importance that we take a quick look inside.”
The CIA driver stepped over and whispered to the officer.
The officer listened, nodded, and replied, “Okay fine, but only one of you; but you cannot enter the room.”
“Very well,” Ed said, “lead the way.”
The officer led him into the building and to the door. Yellow tape crossed the entrance into the lab room and what immediately came into view were the two female bodies lying on the floor. The blood-stained white lab coats sprawled about indicated that they might have been tortured. Ed’s eyes went from table to table and they were all empty. Every single skeleton was gone.
“That will be all,” Ed said.
