Looking up he sees the worried expression on her face. Sighing, "In a minute,sweetie."
She walks away somberly leaving Shoeler to wallow in his self pity. Looking down again at the Lawrence file he noticed something he didn't see before. Hurriedly he dashes out the door, puts on his jacket and attempts to call Director Collins.
Running through the red lights Shoeler was sweating bullets.

"I know, in his hometown Charlotte,North Carolina."
