    "Sacrifice your life rather than your word." General Thomas Johnathan "Stonewall"Jackson Csa

      Faring house Jewelers 219 E. Broadway Edmond, Oklahoma, Manning and his crew met with the robbery detectives at the scene.
CSI's were all over the place, dusting for prints, and taking in evidence.
"A group of eight camouflage clad robbers came in about four pm, smashed the cases and got away with around ninety-five thousand dollars in diamond jewelry, and gold and silver watches," the detective told them.
"Was jewelry all they took?", Harrison asked.
"Yeah, and they knew what cases held what," he responded.
    Reina knelt down beside a body in the back, checking for a pulse;"Manning, we've got a body back here!", She shouted out.
Manning and Harrison walked into the room to find a camo clad body on the floor.
"Detective Calmas, why didn't you mention the body back here?", Manning asked.
"Our people haven't been back there yet," Calmas replied.
    The Medical Examiner came back to the room and started going over the body.
"Conner Braden, nineteen, looks like he's been dead for at least an hour and half, he took a point blank shot to the temple," she told them.
    Harrison glanced up at the wall the picture of an elderly looking couple hung on the wall.
He remembered that his parents often spoke about shopping there, and even owned part of it as silent partners.
A young man walked up to them with a perplexed look on his face.
"How much longer are you all going to be, we need to figure out where to go to from here," he said.
"We should be done soon, can you send our video experts tape of the robbery?", Walker asked handing him a card.
The man agreed and they finished up and headed back to headquarters.
   Guardian Investigative Service headquarters Edmond public safety building Edmond, Oklahoma, Angel walked into her office and began looking over the list of parolees under Cana Caesar, it was at least four miles long, all in alphabetical order.
She quickly found Conner Braden's name on the list and took the parents phone numbers.
"Son of a gun, I knew it!", Angel shouted happily.
   Gordon and the others walked in.
"What's going on?", Earnhardt asked.
"We just found the leader of Caesar's last crew, and he is dead," Angel replied.
"The crew is still out there and will regroup and hit another place," Earnhardt said.
"She's hoping we can catch them with their pants down," Manning told him.
   Boyd stuck his head in the door with a grin on his face;"we just hacked Cana Caesar's GPS, she's in Fair play, Colorado, and has been there for the past two days," Boyd told them.
"Interesting, you'd think she'd head for Mexico at least," Gordon said.
"She's not thinking about getting caught, she's just hiding in plain sight," Samantha began.
"Why?", Pickett put in.
"Nobody is looking for her to be there, perfect place for her to blend in," Angel replied.
"She's an Army brat, and knows about survival if she needs to flee into the woods," Samantha finished.
   Carmine Inn Fair play, Colorado, Cana walked out of the hotel and headed down to an outdoor cafe and got something eat.
She buttoned her coat as the wind from the mountains began to blow colder.
A man met her as she strolled up to a patio table and took a seat.
"What do you need Garman?", She asked.
"The jewelry store robbery was almost foiled by the owner, Braden is dead," Garman told her.
Cana lit a cigarette and let out a puff, motioning for a cup of coffee.
"Collateral damage is an awful thing, isn't it?", She responded letting out another drag.
"You know the feds are closing in on our operations right?", Garman replied.
"Our operations, I thought up this whole thing, you're just a lawyer, get down there and do your fragging job," Cana told him.
    A couple of men in suits entered onto the patio and sat down across from them.
One of the men's coats blew open, revealing a detective's badge.
Cana wasn't worried, knowing that the feds had been trying to keep everything out of the news media.
Garman got up from the table and headed back to his car, and drove away.
  Cana finished her coffee, paid for it, and walked down to the theater.
The men didn't follow her, they stayed on the patio.
She bought a ticket for a movie and walked in, buying a drink and headed back to her studio.
    Guardian Investigative Service headquarters Edmond public safety building Edmond, Oklahoma, Angel walked into the coffee room and sat down, glancing up at the television.
News coverage of the robbery was all over the place.
Longbow walked into the room and sat down at Angel's table.
"When did you get here?", Angel asked.
"About an hour ago, figured you all might be able to use some help," Longbow replied.
"That we can, this is getting out of hand," Angel replied.
"Yeah, I heard about the nineteen year old that was killed in the last robbery, sounds like the owner caught him off guard," Longbow replied.
   Harrison and Kirby walked and sat down, grinning like Cheshire cats.
"What are you all so happy about?", Angel asked.
"Three of the robbers just turned themselves in, they just gave up the law firm that represents them," Kirby replied.
"Who is it?", Longbow asked.
"Garman and Andress on Robinson in the city," Harrison replied.
"Grab a warrant and take them down," Angel ordered.
   Longbow looked at Angel;"can I take lead on this one?"she asked.
"Go for it, is the warrant in?", Angel fired at Harrison.
"Just came in," Harrison replied.
"Go," Angel told them.
     Garman and Andress law firm 2121 West Robinson Oklahoma City, Oklahoma, Longbow and the crew pulled up in front of the sixteen story glass panaled building and walked in.
Longbow motioned for people to take the lobby, and walked up to the front desk showing her identification and telling them about search and arrest warrants they had.
The guard told them that the office was on the fourteenth floor and they headed up.
    Longbow and the crew took the stairs and elevators up, and walked into the office identifying themselves.
They began tossing the office as Andress shuffled in shouting at the top of his lung's.
"What the hell is this, who're you?!", He boomed.
"Guardian Investigative Service agents and we have search and warrants," Longbow replied.
Andress gave a cornered look as she turned and dashed out of the door.
Longbow darted out after him.
Andress turned left midstride and pulled a gun, looking around the corner for her.
It seemed like she was gone.
   Longbow slinked up behind him, and took him down to the ground, disarming her quickly.
Andress got up and swung at her.
Longbow quickly blocked her every punch knocking her over the handrail behind them.
Andress hit the thirteenth floor below back first with a horrible thump.
Agents on the floor below started helping the Medical Examiner.
   Dalton ran up to Longbow.
"You alright, where's Andress?", He asked.
"Yeah, I'm okay, she's in hell where she belongs, freaking lawyer," Longbow replied glanced over the rail.
They finished up and headed back to headquarters.
