Kenzie scoffed as she walked through the headquarters lobby, talking on the phone. "Hey, so, this is like the 20th message I've left you? Call me back," she demanded.
As she walked into the bullpen, she looked up to see a bunch of agents staring at her. She looked around, wondering where Teresa was. She narrowed her eyes at Kirkland, who was standing in her office.
Who the fuck let him in there? She walked in.
"Kirkland?" she called out. "What's going on?"
"Have you heard about Lorelei Martins yet?"
This bitch again. "No. Why?"
"She escaped from federal prison this morning. Your Mr. Jane was questioning prison transport drivers."
Kenzie scoffed. "No. There's no way. He wouldn't. He's not that stupid."
"Where is he now?"
"I don't know. I haven't heard from him since yesterday. He hasn't answered his phone. But that doesn't mean he did this."
"It would make it much more likely, wouldn't it?"
"Why is this a Homeland Security issue?"
"It's complicated."
"Well, uncomplicate it!"
"I mean, if he is with her, he's in a lot of danger. You know him better than anybody. Now, if he did do this, where would he go?"
She looked up to see the team surrounding Rigsby's desk. "I'll be right back." She walked over to them. "Hey, has anyone seen Jane?"
"No," said all of them in unison.
"We need to find him right now. Put a BOLO out on his car. Grace, Cho, I need you to go to his motel room. Rigs, call his cell phone company. Get GPS tracking on his phone."
"What's going on?" asked Grace.
"Lorelei Martins escaped from prison this morning."
"Was Jane involved?"
"We don't know yet."
"Bob Kirkland, Homeland Security." Kenzie's shoulder slumped. Teresa pinched her, telling her to behave.
"He's leading the search to find Martins," Teresa said.
Cho walked up. "Boss. SAC PD got a report of an abandoned blue Citroen this morning. Uh, parking lot at 16th and K Street."
"Text me," said Kenzie.
🙂
Kenzie sighed and placed her hands on her hips, staring at Kirkland, who was looking into the blue Citroen. One of the windows was broken. He grabbed a piece of paper.
"It's for you," he said.
"Someone after me," she read.
"Looks like he's been abducted."
"Jane doesn't have Lorelei. Lorelei has Jane."
They drove back to headquarters, where they went over the case with the rest of the agents.
"Our fugitive is a known associate of the serial killer Red John," explained Kirkland. "She's wanted for murder conspiracy, kidnapping, and weapons violations. We believe that Martins and unknown accomplices abducted CBI consultant Patrick Jane.
"Jane led a 6-month undercover operation that resulted in Lorelei's arrest. Martins may have kidnapped him for payback or to take him to Red John."
"Either way, we need to find them," said Kenzie. "Martins is a Sacramento girl. "I want systematic searches of old residences, old friends, old coworkers. You all have information packets. Study them, and when you're done, contact Lisbon, me, or Agent Kirkland for your assignments. Thank you."
