Jenkins and Joe arrived at the office quickly with the FBI surrounding the office. Arel and Karl are still both very shaken up. While Jenkins assessed Arel and Karl, Joe got an idea.
"Hey uh, Mr. Manfred?" nervously asked Joe.
"Ah, Joe! Yes, yes, what can I do for you?" Manfred replies.
"Do you still have Tom's phone?"
"Yes, I do. May I ask why?"
"Zeke never learned how to turn off his location. I bet it is live on the location app."
"Brilliant! Let me just text my forensic department. Might take a while. Oh no! She responded fast! It says Zeke is about to enter the city of San Diego. Let me text the chief of SDPD, and he should catch him soon.
A whole hour goes by, and Arel and Karl are sent home again when Manfred gets a call.
"They caught Zeke crossing the border with 100K dollars in the SUV with him," Manfred said.
"Amazing!" said Joe.
Over the phone, they can hear Zeke yelling at one of his getaway men.
"YOU DUMBASS! I TOLD YOU A PLANE WAS BETTER! YOU SUCH A FUCKING IDIOT!" yelled Zeke.
"I want Joe to be the prosecutor though." said Manfred.
"Me?! Oh, no way." replied Joe.
"The trial is in two days. Prepare!"
Joe prepared day and night. Arel was helping day in, day out, and not settling, and finally, it was time. To bring Zeke to justice. To carry out Tom's legacy. What will happen? Honestly, I don't even know, they didn't tell me. I'm the narrator and no communication with me, go figure! I gotta find a new job. Hello darkness smiled friend........
