«How?»
«Call him right now. The bird should be able to pick up noise of his phone ringing.»
Coleman thought about it for a second and said, «Wait the time is right. Let's get out there and get the SOG in place. We don't want to spook him.»
«All right.»
«Do you think that's Anna upstairs?»
«l hope so.»
The faceless voice came back over their headsets. «We have a couple of cars in the driveway.» Rapp, Coleman, and Dumond looked up at the screen and watched. «We also have one individual standing near the front door. He ears to be carrying a weapon. Let me see if I can get a little closer.» The picture zoomed in on the warm body standing on the front porch. The man's body was mostly red with a yellow glow around the edges. Near his waist was an elongated area of blue.
Coleman spoke before the technician did. «It looks like a machine pistol with a suppressor attached to the end.»
«Either that or an assault rifle.» Rapp squinted at the image.
A second red figure appeared on the front porch and then a third. Rapp's immediate fear was that they had somehow sighted the chopper. Using their call sign, Rapp asked, «Libra Three, have you been discovered?»
«That's a negative.» It was a different voice this time. «We're two miles out and obscured by a tree line.»
One of the men left the porch and walked over to one the cars. He climbed in, and a moment later the car started moving. The technician announced, «One, of the cars is leaving.»
«We see it.» Rapp flipped up his lip mike, looked at Marcus, and snapped, «Find out where we are, and tell him to step on it!» Pulling the lip mike back down, he asked, «Libra Three, can you keep contact with both targets?»
There was no response at first, and then, «That depends on how big the separation gets between the two.»
«Keep an eye on both for as long as you can.»
Dumond left the small door to the front of the van open and sat back down at his console. «He said we just passed Queen Anne Road.»
«That means we should be at the Muddy Creek exit in five minutes.» Looking at Coleman, Rapp pointed behind them with his thumb and said, «Tell the boys to be ready for some action.» Rapp watched the screen and listened to the technician call out the car's maneuvers. Rapp's thoughts kept going back to Anna. He was going to have to decide pretty quickly if the chopper was going to keep an eye on the house or follow the car.
Coleman knew what Rapp was thinking and said, «The house isn't going anywhere.
