Ch.15-Following Shadows

~December 14th, 11:30am~

Connor and Hank were working quickly through any data they could collect of Pete and Jordin, and the computer was still trying to match faces to the image of Jaylen's attacker. However, since the image was not clear in his mind, it would take a while to load so in the meantime they were connecting any sights of the two. Sumo was with them, walking back and forth with his leash on as he received attention from the two, and any workers that would walk by to pet him.

"Why did you bring Sumo again?" Hank asked, not looking away from his screen and petting Sumo's head.

"Katie is meeting me here and we will be going on a walk together." Connor replied. "She loves animals.

"Ok then.." Hank leaned back in his seat and rubbed his eyes, groaning. "This..is fucking stupid. I feel like a rookie again."

"How does analyzing data make you feel like a rookie?" Connor asked, stopping his work to look at Hank.

"Because I normally am not looking for the "last place we've seen them" shit. All that Jordin has been spotted at was at the stocks, restaurants, and bars." Hank sighed and looked over. "Any luck on your end?"

"My findings have been inconclusive as well. Pete seems to be an anomaly, being referred to as Pete and Peter and possibly a name we do not know of." Connor replied. "On top of that the sightings of him are rare, and if I have seen him on the cameras I would not be able to recognize him or only see him for a second."

It was true, the images they had of Pete were either altered, old, or blurry. The night clubs image of him only was able to identify his face, his face always hidden behind shades or a hood. From the videos they could only tell he was a Caucasian male around his 30's, muscular body stature, and he always wore the same grey hoodie with no identifiable markings. Any sightings that could have been him were always in crowds, the man knew how to hide.

"Well shit.." Hank grumbled. "Maybe we should change tactics. We already know Jordin is connected to Pete and Ashley. Ashley is a lawyer to both Jordin and Kenny, and Kenny is head of an android disassembly line for criminals. We should focus on Pete."

"Agreed. Pete seems to be the most lethal with illegal weapons and the distribution of red ice." Connor nodded. "We only have images of him in crowds or in clubs and no one has confirmed meeting him in a gun store. Only Katie has confirmed meeting him and only knowing him as Pete, whereas we know him as Peter Miller."

"Fucking great and the guys that were taken away wouldn't say anything or didn't know him." Hank sighed and got up. "I'm getting some coffee."

"Alright." Connor said as he looked back at his screen, moving a hand down to pet Sumo as he walked by and sat down next to Connor.

He kept reviewing videos but with no such luck, he was not sure what else he could try to locate Pete's steps. Even looking up his name as Peter Miller the only crimes that have been recorded was theft and speeding, and he was virtually erased from the world 10 years ago. Markus had also called earlier that morning to let him know that Jaylen was stable and that they would be taking a look at the house from Allen and Dr. Hayes. Sitting back Connor decided to pet Sumo for a bit and try to think of something else, smiling as sumo let out a huff. He only looked up as he heard laughing and noticed Hank and Katie walking over.

She was in her work outfit, showing she only just got off, wearing her winter coat over herself. "Hi Connor. How are things?"

"They could be better." Connor replied and Katie looked to Sumo with a large smile and begin to coo at him.

"Awww! Is this Sumo? What a cutie!" Katie giggled and kneeled down, hugging Sumo as he calmly sat there and let her. He sniffed her a little which made her giggle louder as she pecked his head and scratches behind his ears. "Aww, you are just the sweetest~ How old is he?"
