    “I don’t think so, Denise responded. The public already knows she is here and there hasn’t been an attempt on her life yet,” she knocked on wood. “You could always change their appearance and bring them up through the old service elevator. Run it past, Special Agent Hightower to be sure. As a single mother, I would want to see my children,” Denise finished.
    “Oh my God, I didn’t even think about your little man, are you sure that you can do this case,” Michael asked sincerely.
    “Dr. Blake-Moore I have a great network, Dennis is mature for his age and I am honored to have been chosen,” Denise finished.
    Michael hugged her and thanked her. “Jasmine is like a sister to us. I have to have the best on her team. I trust you with her care. Thank you, I will repay you somehow. I am going to go check on her,” Michael said. As he was walking way he threw over his shoulder, “You get some rest.”

 
    Chapter 6
    Ethan left the hospital after Jasmine had fallen asleep. He drove to the house Trent had allowed the others to set up as their temporary headquarters.
    Michelle had made several packets of information on Ralph Jefferson, who was Jasmine’s children’s father. He had a rap sheet that was ten pages long with crimes ranging from simple possession, DUI, DUS, all the way up to larceny. He went through a local drug rehabilitation treatment program and completed it successfully, yet he still was a cocaine addict. He works in labor production, rents a trailer with his common law wife Courtney Sinclair. Courtney is a high school drop out with three children by three different fathers. She suffers with bi-polar disorder and doesn’t take her prescriptions as prescribed. She also abuses recreational drugs. She too had a rap sheet that was about ten pages long, for shoplifting, check fraud, and simple possession. Her half-brother Christopher Knight is a computer whiz/low scale drug dealer, who was affiliated with a local gang.
    Michelle had also been able to pull the phone records for all three suspects, and another person calling from a blocked number had become a person of interest. This three were involved in some way but they don’t have the skills or the resources to pull off a job like this. Ethan knew that he needed more information on the fourth person. He could be the missing piece of the puzzle.
    Ethan was the last person in the house to get up. He showered and dressed in black dress slacks and a navy blue button down shirt. He ran his fingers through his wet, short, dirty blonde hair and ran his fingers across his reshaped goatee. He walked into the living room were Luke, Trujillo, Michelle, Carina, Ricardo, Marisol, and Patrick were eating and going over the notes.
    Ethan said his good mornings, between bites of a red delicious apple. Ethan addressed the team and gave them an update on his thought process with the Ralph Jefferson gang. The missing person was someone with training in advance weaponry, possible gang ties.
    “What had Representative Jasmine Anderson done to upset a local gang? How did this all tie back in to Ralph Jefferson? These are questions that we need answers to quickly” Ethan advised. “I want all three of them called back for questioning. I want a well-child checkup done on the house by a police officer and a DSS social service worker,” Ethan said to the group at large.
    “Wow don’t you think that this is a little much?” Michelle asked. “She could lose her children?”
    Ethan responded with, “They are the best and only leads that we have right now? One of them, if not all of them are responsible for a state representative being shot on a college campus, in front of her kids. I don’t think she deserved that either. If she is doing what she is supposed to in regard to her household then her kids being taken won’t be an issue,” Ethan finished.
    “What if she wasn’t involved, she suffers from a mental disorder, and we
