Sam did what Rhia had said and waited for the bomb squad to guide them to the room. It seemed like hours, years, before they showed up. Finally, they did. 'Follow me!' Sam shouted to them. One of them nodded and they followed her into the house, to where Rhia was. 'There! There's the bomb! Up there!' She told them. They nodded again and looked at the trap door. Then the leader of the squad turned to Rhia and Sam. 'Listen! You have to clear the scene before it will all go up in smoke!' But neither of them did. They just couldn't let Brian alone. Not now. 'Fine' the squad leader said, and he started to try to dismantle the bomb. 'Bombsquad's here, Brian! They're gonna save you!' Sam shouted. In a silence, they heard a knock. He had heard her.

Sheldon came with the ambulences. There was no way he could stay at the morgue when they knew where Brian was. He watched the bombsquad hurrying towards one of the buildings, and hung back with the paramedics to wait.
He didn't see Riah or Sam come out after the bombsquad went in, and he mumbled a prayer under his breath.
"Why haven't they cleared the scene?" he mumbled, knowing full well what the answer was. But he couldn't go in, all he could do was wait. "C'mon Brian, you can make it." He muttered, even though he knew Brian couldn't hear him.

Brian felt cold and wet as he heard the bomb squad setting up right outside his door. All he could manage was a tiny knock now and then to show he was still hanging on. He began to shiver uncontrollably. He bit his lip, willing the bomb squad to work faster. They were too close, he couldn't let go just yet.

In the meantime the paramedics had also arrived. They were patiently waiting outside the room. Rhia was pacing up and down sending silent prayers that the bomb squad man would work faster. Calmly he was touching different spots on the door until he found some wires. He looked at them and then at a sketch in front of him.
"Sir, would you please hurry. Our friend is dying!" she nearly lost her nerve.
Without turning around he answered: "Lady. Trust me, it's worth taking my time. Otherwise we're all dying!" So he kept working on the wires for about five minutes.
Suddenly he turned around to face Sam and Rhia.
"Ladies, I think I've found the right one. Would you leave the room, please?" he said to them.
"No way!" they answered together.
The man only shrugged and held his gripper ready. When he started to cut Rhia grabbed Sam's hand and pressed it hard. She also kept her eyes shut until she heard the metallic click when the two halves of the gripper collided. Her eyes flew open as did the door.
We are still alive! she thought.
"Go on!" she yelled at the paramedics who had already stirred and were on their way. Sam and Rhia chased after them. When she discovered Brian it was a shock for her. He was looking dreadful and around him was a pool of blood.
"Brian!" she shouted hoping that they arrived in time.

Sheldon rushed in with the Paramedics. When he reached Brian's side, he couldn't help but feel relieved. Sure, the man wasn't looking too good, but Sheldon could tell they'd gotten to him just in time.
"You're gonna be fine, Brian. Just hang in there," one of the paramedics said. "Dr. Consare, could you handle this?" he added, handing Sheldon the oxygen mask. Sheldon nodded and took the mask, he held it up to Brian's face.
"You're going to be fine," he said, laying a reassuring hand on Brian's shoulder.

Sam thought she had never felt this relieved. Brian was saved! She, Rhia and Sheldon followed the paramedics outside, where the rest of the team was waiting. Luke and Sheldon went with the ambulance to the hospital, Luke because he was the supervisor and Sheldon because he had a medical degree. Not that paramedics aren't good enough, but it could always come in handy to have a doctor on board, Sam realised. She and Rhia walked all the way back to Sam's car to get to the hospital. 'Oh god... I feel so relieved. I'm so glad he's save now!' Sam said.

Laura cursed herself for being late...again. It was in her nature she guessed, but this was no time for it. She walked up beside Sheldon as they loaded Brian on the ambulance. "Thank God," she breathed. "They found him." He didn't look too great though and her relief turned to worry. "You think he'll be alright?" she asked Sheldon quietly.

"Yeah, he's gonna be fine," Sheldon told Laura as he climbed into the ambulence. He shut the door and watched the scene fade away as they started the drive to the hospital.

Brian had tears streaming down his face as they packed guaze into his wounds and strapped him to the stretcher. He even smiled behind the face mask as they lifted him into the ambulance. Then he remembered he had a job to do.
He tugged at Sheldon's shirt, and when Sheldon looked, Brian started moving his mouth. Puzzled, Sheldon took the maks away for a minute.
"Wh-white v-v-van... m-men in... b-black c-c-clothes... I k-k-killed two... there... still m-m-more..."
Sheldon nodded, and put the oxygen mask back to Brian's face. "I'll let them know," he reassured Brian.
Brian wanted to slip from consciousness again to relieve the pain, but he couldn't, not with his friends there. He held on, this time.

Zora had taken pictures, casted tire treads, and found blood droplets and she hadn't even entered the house yet. As she stood behind her vehicle with the back open, frantically typing away on her laptop she hoped Brian would be alright. She had seen the paramedics load him into the ambulance and he didn't look well at all. At least Sheldon is with him she said to herself.
Zora loaded up the digital photo of the tire treads and also the dimensions of it into her computer. After a few minutes Zora had her results; the tire treads had been left by a 1999 Chevy Cargo Van. Although it wasn't much at least she knew the make and model of the get away car. She now hoped that the blood drop she found near the treads would be just as prolific. Zora called a lab tech and told them about the van and he told her that he would start working on it right away.
Sighing Zora locked her SUV, picked up her kit, and headed towards the house to start processing.

Sheldon pulled out his cell phone and dialed Rhia's number.
"Hey, Rhia," he said when she picked up. "Brian says the men who held him wore black, that he killed two, and they drove a white van."
He nodded to himself as Rhia said she'd look into it, and then he hung up.
"They'll find them," he said to Brian.

Brian's throat was raw and bleeding, his eyes were red, swollen, and burned like hell, he had a gunshot wound to the leg that had been bleeding profusely, he was dehydrated, going into shock, his ankle had been rubbed raw from the shackle, his ears were still ringing from the rapid depressurization of the two gas tanks, his nostrils stung with every breath, he had been electrocuted and he had several large bruises from hand-to-hand combat.
But he smiled through the whole ambulance ride to the hospital.

After Brian had been carried away by the ambulance (Rhia even believed she had seen him smile), her mobile rung. It was Sheldon. She nodded at his talk and hung up. Then she turned to Sam.
"Brian told them it was a white van. And that there are still more of them to catch..."
She then took a grip and shouted into the house.
"HEY! ALL OF YOU! COME OUT!"
When everyone had arrived she started telling them: "Look, I don't want to seem bossy or anything, but Luke's gone and Brian told us some things that need to be investigated more thoroughly. Listen, there are still two or three persons running around and they drive a white van. Has anyone of you already processed the tyre tracks?" She looked around hopingly.
"Two or three of us should search the house for any clues, while the rest drives back to the lab. Does everyone agree?" Rhia's hands were wet because she had never taken over control, but somehow she felt that it was necessary.
"Although Brian is saved now, there are still people free who did this to him. We mustn't lose our heads now. We have to find them, track them down and bring them to court. For Brian!" she added. Then she spun around on the heel.
"I haven't got my kit with me...so I'll be at the lab telling you when we find something new..." She smiled at them all.
"Sam...would you mind giving me a lift?" she asked her friend.

"I'll search the house," Laura offered and waited for anyone else that would search with her. Rhia had said two or three people.

"Sure, I will give you a lift" Sam said. Then she turned to the others. "Folks, there's something I haven't had the time to tell you about: the handwriting on the boxes. It's Lizzy Hibiscus's. You might want to track her down. She's a reporter. And then there was something about Emilio Marquez's brother? "
