SYLVESTER'S POV
I have been working on an equation on the board for an hour when Meghan walks down stairs and goes to the couch, She looks really sick. She's wearing a maroon shirt that says 'New York 23' on it, distressed black jeans and grey sneakers with a built in wedge. She has not been doing well with the morning sickness. She sits down and puts her head in her hands.
"Your looking a little green there sailer." Toby says looking up from his two books he is holding.
"I haven't noticed." Meghan says sarcastically with her head still in her hands.
"You look like your going to puke." I say putting on hand sanitizer.
"Well if you keep talking about it then I just might." Meghan responds with her head still in her hands.
"Did you take the pills?" Happy asks looking up from her engine.
"I took three. They're not working." Meghan responds.
"Walt can you make me a coffee with cinnamon?" Meghan ask finally looking up.
"Sure. Why?" He asks walking to the coffee maker.
"It's the only thing that helps." She says sitting back on the couch. She sits up suddenly.
"Are you gonna puke?" Toby asks looking up at her.
"No.... yes." She says running to the trash can, throwing up twice. She sits down next to the trash can and doesn't even bother getting up. She stays there for five minutes. Walter walks over and places the coffee mug on the coffee table, Meghan gets up and takes a sip of the coffee.
"Thanks Walt." She says placing the mug back on the table. Walter nods then we hear a knock at the door. Paige goes to open it.
"Oh hi Shawn." She says opening the door.
"Hi Paige, is Meghan here?" He asks. Paige opens the door.
"She's right there." She says pointing towards the couch. He walks over and sits next to her.
"How are you?" He asks Meghan.
"Ask the trash can." Toby says not looking up from his books.
"Shut up Toby!" Meghan says angrily to Toby.
"I'm ok." She says to Shawn laying down placing her head in his lap. She lays there then sits up suddenly.
"Get down!" She shouts, we're all really confused.
"What?" Toby asks.
"Shut up and get under a freakin table!" She shouts and we do. We wait there for a minute or two. All of a sudden there is an explosion in the middle/end of the garage. It's not huge but it's enough to do some damage and take out a team member if they were over there. We all jump a bit, I'm covering my ears. Meghan stands up first and then the rest of us stand up.
"How the hell did you know that was going to happen?" Happy asks.
"I heard the beeping." Meghan responds.
"I'm calling homeland." Cabe says walking away, typing something on his phone.
"I'm sorry baby, I have to go to school now, I'll be back here after school." Shawn says giving Meghan a hug.
"Go learn some useless shit. Love you." Meghan says smiling and giving him a hug back. Shawn waves as he leaves the garage.
"Ok so homeland said that they are going to assign us to this case, do to it happening in our garage. He said we should meet him at headquarters right away. It's about an hour drive so everybody get in the van." Cabe says walking into the room.
"Yippee! An hour car ride in a cramped car with morning sickness." Meghan says sarcastically, grabbing her olive green backpack and heading out the door.
"We're dropping Jess of at daycare on the way." Happy says making it clear that it is not a question.
"Do you know how many germs daycare has? More then a hospital." I respond following everybody out the door. We get in the car, Happy drives, Meghan sits in the passengers seat, I sit in the middle with Cabe and Toby, Walter and Paige sit in the back. Meghan seems good, no motion sickness. Which is definitely good considering how much we travel. When we get there, Meghan gets out first and then the rest of us.
"So what would somebody want from our garage?" Walter asks a tall bald man, who I don't think any of us have ever seen.
"Us." Meghan responds
"What?" The bald man asks.
"They don't want our technology or paper work, they want to take us out." Meghan responds.
"That's probably right." I say thinking it over.
"Why would they want to take you out?" The bald man asks.
"Well that's what we are here to find out. Anyway who are you?" Meghan asks.
"Oh I'm Agent Michael Coleman." The man says. The whole team nods.
"So it would probably be somebody for revenge of some sort. Remember any cases that the people got away?" I say looking at the team.
"Hey remember when Sly got hurt and there were multiple people working for the man who stole the diamonds. Maybe somebody was working with them." Walter says.
"I'm not sure, I was in the hospital." I Respond, the memory of that day is kind of foggy.
"I wasn't apart of the team yet." Meghan says.
"Wait but what about the wolves?" Meghan asks.
"The wolves?" I question.
"Nobody's heard of the wolves? They are hackers, thieves and criminals that help big name hackers, thieves and criminals. They could have easily helped the people who hurt Sylvester." Meghan responds and it makes sense to me.
"Where would we find these wolves?" Toby asks.
"I only know of them, not where they are located." She responds.
"Hey Cabe when was your last big case?" Happy asks. It looks like she has an idea.
"Three days ago why?" Cabe says slightly confused.
"Did you have any unusual evidence?" Toby asks. I think he knows what Happy is getting at.
"Yeah I found a cell phone and a pair of glasses and we are not sure who they belonged to. We don't usually get that kind of evidence." Cabe responds.
"Get me the phone." Happy tells Cabe. We walk down to the evidence locker, it is a big room filled with all sorts of evidence. I look around in amazement and so does the rest of the team. Cabe walks over to a locked locker and dials in the combination, the locker pops open making a 'click' noise. Inside is a few different phones, ranging from the IPhone 6+ to the Sprint flip phone. He pulls out an IPhone 5s with a blue case and hands it to us. Happy takes it and looks at it.
"This is the phone we found at the scene three days ago." Cabe says looking at the phone in Happy's hand.
"Well the sneaky bastard put on a case that resists finger prints and same with the screen protector. He also did a finger scan passcode so nobody could get in. But I have a way of getting into the phone." She says. She throws the phone to the ground making it shatter and break into multiple pieces and the screen falls off. Walter bends over and picks up the memory card that fell out of the phone.
"He may have locked the phone and blocked it from finger prints, but he was stupid enough to put a backup memory chip in the hardware system. Which makes it easy for us to see what's in the phone." Walter says holding out the chip in his hands so we could all see. We walk over to a desktop computer and put the memory chip inside the computer. A message pops up on the screen and Walter clicks on it. It brings us directly to the main control system. We could see his name and address in one of the apps. His name is Glen Goldstein and he lives a 42 Westwood street, Oakland, California.
"Everybody get in the car we're going for a ride." Cabe demands.
