John tossed and turned all night. He wondered where the hell the CIA planned to send him and why he would need to take Duke along. He got up in the middle of the night and went to the kitchen to have some coffee. He forgot that Commander was home with him, thank God Duke was there and growled at Commander before he bit John.

"Did I scare you, Commander? No biting! That is what got you in trouble in the White House. Do you want to go back and stay there with Mayor, then behave!

"Commander walked close and John patted him on the head, "Good boy!"

John prepared some coffee and sat on the sofa in the living room with the dogs. He turned on the TV.

On Saturday he left the dog in Dr. Freeman's care.

"Are you sure you can handle Commander, Morgan?"

"Yes, don't worry if he hasn't bitten me so far, he won't. I will be OK." 

They bid goodbye and John drove his Mustang out of the garage. He went to the first place where they'd dive in the Potomac River.

When he arrived at the designated spot Ellen, Jason, Zac, Benjamin, and a team from the FBI were waiting for him.

"I didn't know all of you would come..." John was surprised.

"I won't dive," Ben said, "I am just coordinating the team and the equipment. These guys came to refill the air tanks and do whatever you need, they also brought the communication and video equipment so we can talk while you are down there, I thought that instead of cameras it would be better if you get video images so we can check them later. But I also brought some cameras, too."

"Ellen, are you diving?"

" No, sorry. I am too anxious. I just couldn't stay home."

"OK. No problem. Let's get ready.

Jason, Zac, and John put the wet suits on, and then the experts from the FBI equipped them with the communication system and gave them the video cameras. They inflated their scuba diving buoys to let boats know they were underwater. 

Ben decided to stay near the shore in case the divers needed help. "Ellen go inside the ban, you can watch the images and hear their conversation there."

"Thanks, Ben."

John gave some instructions to Zac and Jason. Then they dove into the water. The visibility wasn't the best but they could see properly.

"Base, are the images clear enough for you to see?" John asked.

The FBI technician answered, "Yes, agent. Clear do you hear us?"

"Perfectly," John answered.

They dove around but couldn't find the car they were looking for. However, they were amazed about the number of vehicles disposed of there.

"I think the city must send a team and take all these cars out. Who knows maybe some are cars involved in felonies," John stated, "Guys try to get a good image of the cars and if the license plate is visible get a good shot of it. I will give all this information to the Chief of the Metro Police."

"Ok, John," Zac answered.

"Copied," Jason said.

Forty minutes later John ended the search, "Guys, how much air do you have?"

"Half tank," Jason said.

"Almost in reserve," Zac said.

"OK. Let's just go to the next place. It's not here."
