you that. It looks like he’s been collecting these kids for a very, very long time. He has become very, very good at what he does.” Jim turned to look her in the eye. “He may have been doing this for a long time, but someone else found out before law enforcement.” She had a confused look on her face. “I don’t understand.” “There was a 911 call made from the house that led police to find the missing girl and then accidently the three others that are now in the hospital.” She had a thoughtful look on her face, “Was it the girl who called 911?” “I was only able to interview her for a few minutes before they took her to the hospital, but from what I gathered from her she didn’t make the call. She told the first officers on scene that someone else was in the house, and that he saved her and protected her from her assailant before the police arrived. You haven’t processed the rest of the house yet have you?” She shook her head. He started walking toward the house and said, “Follow me.”
    She did as he asked and followed him to the bedroom where Cheryl had been held. He pointed to the bed in the corner of the room. It now had crime scene markers all around it, and there were a few FBI agents mulling around. She walked over to the bed and looked down at the pillow where a large yellow marker sat. A sad look fell upon her face. “The Eagle,” she said softly. He nodded. “Is this the girl’s blood?” He shook his head; she called to one of her team members to get into the room. “Get a sample of this blood over to the lab stat. Have them type, cross, and rush a DNA analysis. Have we harvested the scene for DNA?” The tech just gave her a glazed look. “Jade, we’ve been digging in a basement for the past several hours. There was no sign of a homicide up here.” She ordered him back to the basement, grabbed a crime scene kit from one of the cases, and started carefully bagging things from the home. She started in the bathroom and worked her way to the kitchen. When she was finished, she handed the bags to one of her associates. “If this ends up in court, I want this scene processed by the book. Start a chain of custody report for all DNA evidence. I don’t want questions on who had what down the road. And get them to the lab right away.”
    Jim had been watching her on the periphery as he scoured the scene for other evidence. After Jade had sent off the specimens, she asked if Roskowski was in custody. He shook his head. “Well, are you planning on getting him into custody?” He sat down on a chair in front of a table in the kitchen. “Would love to do it, Jade, but Mr. Roskowski is missing.” “The Eagle.” “Are you asking me or telling me?” She sat up straight. “This is not the work of The Eagle; it doesn’t fit his profile.” He nodded. “But The Eagle was here?” He nodded again. Her face got a strange look on it, one he didn’t know how to read. “The Eagle took Roskowski?” “That’s the way it looks, Jade. Steve and his team are working on The Eagle aspect of this case; we need to focus on processing this crime scene and trying to figure out just how many kids are in that basement. And who they are.” She put her elbows on the table and put her head in her hands. “Shit, Jim…the son of a bitch is going to kill Roskowski before we can get any answers out of him as to whom he has in this house.” He stood up and tidied his suit coat. “You’re right and wrong. If The Eagle follows his previous M.O., he will kill Roskowski…however, he will also get a detailed confession out of him before he does.” She stood up as well. “That’s not his fuckin’ job! It’s your job. This animal needs to face justice.” “Which animal are you referring to, Jade?” She started down the stairs to the basement, yelling “both of them” back at him.
    It took Jim’s team, as well as the others, two weeks to process the house and the property. When all was said and
