Go to Greer

Yesterday, Bonnie Mullen came through for our heroes. She identified the second of the would-be assassins as David Troutman. Troutman had the skills to build a bomb and his partner, Dan Steele was, according to Captain Keller, a natural born killer. Put those two together and I think we can understand what happened. Also Sussen asked about them. Could this fact be related? Probably.

Anyway, Rome and Rei are getting ready to leave as they got what the came for, the names of their would-be killers. Maybe Bonnie can help Rome and Rei track them down:

     “Thank you, Bonnie,” Rome said. She stood up. “You have been very helpful. I just have one more question.”
     “What?” Bonnie inquired.
     “Now that we know who we are looking for, can you give us any guidance as to where we should start looking?”
     “That I couldn’t tell you,” Bonnie answered. She looked out the window as if the answer was blowing in the wind. Suddenly, she nodded. “But I bet Nick Greer could. Troutman used to hang around with him. He might be able to tell you something.”
     “Where do we find Greer?” Rei asked.
     Bonnie lowered her eyes to the ground. Rei looked over at Virga. She had a sad expression on her face.
     “What?” Rei asked. “Where is he?”
     “As I told you,” Virga said. “There were a few recalcitrants who remain uncooperative to this day. Greer is one of them.”
     “So what did you do with them?”
     “They built a prison,” Bonnie answered for her. “They pretend it isn’t but it is. Keller even supplied the Vuduri with the design. They had no idea how to build one. That’s how serious Maury was about reform. It’s ways away from here.”
     “A prison, huh,” Rei said. “Can you take us there?” he directed at Virga.
     “Yes,” Virga said. “I will take you but I do not think Greer will be very communicative.”
     “Let me go with you,” Bonnie said, stepping forward. “He might talk to me.” She looked over at Virga. “Is that OK?”
     Virga nodded.
     Bonnie turned to Gemen who had remained silent up until this point. “Goodbye, honey,” Bonnie said to Gemen and she kissed him on the cheek. “I’ll see you later.”
     Gemen sighed and lifted his hand to wave farewell.

A Vuduri prison? This should be interesting. But first I want to tell you about my niece, Rebecca Brachman, who may have discovered something truly fantastic: a vaccine for PTSD!
