She looked very concerned but didn't say anything she just nodded her head in understanding. "What would you like me to do Mr. Nichols?" "Call Jonathan Bowers and tell him to get here as quickly as possible." "Okay Mr. Nichols is there anything else I can do?" " Contact Jordan at the White Sands hotel and let her know what is going on because Jonathan may want to ask her a few more questions about the bombing and about the items found in my closet." "We have not been able to contact Ms. Mackenzie all afternoon. We were hoping that maybe you had heard from her or could tell us where she might possibly be." He looked at Andy accusingly "You mean to tell me that nobody knows where she is and there's some quack out there who wants to kill her. What in God's name are we paying you for if we can't get protection around here." Andy was furious and for a moment was shocked at himself for his reaction. Officer Deen simply replied in a calm controlled manner. "She was not under our custody Mr. Nichols. For all we know she could be out shopping at this very moment. Jumping to conclusions will only make things worse. Now if you don't mind I have to bring you back to the station." Andy looked at Mrs. Sparks and with a grim look and preceded the Officer out to the awaiting police car. Calling over his shoulder at Mrs. Sparks he told her to contact him the moment that he heard anything about Jordan's whereabouts. She agreed to call Mr. Bowers and start her own search for Jordan.
