“That’s what I’m thinkin’,” Greystone said. “These bullshit references got Haqazzii in the door, then he hired his team?—”
“Which gave them access to the federal buildings JL had contracts with,” Caroline added.
Teddy vetted the two references, but the numbers weren’t associated with anyone.
Caroline pushed out of the chair, started pacing. He could see her brilliant mind working and he loved watching her.
“Tank, Erik Johnston doesn’t look like Sajid Haqazzii,” Caroline said. “Even so, the IDWare Software found a match. Can you scroll through the HR files to see if everyone has a profile pic?”
“Sure can.” Teddy jumped back over to JL’s company, got busy adding code into his program.
While it ran, Teddy stood. “What’s the story on food? I’m starving.”
“I’ll make us something to eat.” Greystone said as he glanced at his watch. “It’s almost time for the next shift.”
“Who’s up?” Teddy asked.
“Slash and Prescott,” Caroline replied. “They’re here until six. Everyone’s taking an eight-hour shift. We’re staying all weekend.”
“Bro, are you bailing on the fam?” Teddy asked.
“I’ll swing by,” Greystone said. “Caroline, wanna join me?”
“Thanks, but no. If I’m invited to the next one, I’d love to meet everyone.”
“What will you do?” Greystone asked.
“You mean in general or without you?” Caroline teased.
Teddy chuffed out a laugh. “Nice.”
“I’ll be here,” Caroline replied.
“When Slash and Prescott get here, we’re gonna visitCaroline’s friend, JL,” Greystone said. “I need to find out what her story is. I wouldn’t be surprised if Haqazzii had turned her.”
Caroline eyes grew large. “No. I mean, there’s no way… is there?”
“We won’t know until we talk to her,” Greystone replied.
“What should I do?” Teddy asked.
“Find the terrorists who work for JL,” Greystone said.
“Pull up Erik’s profile again,” Caroline said. “What’s his address?”
Teddy opened a different screen. Within seconds, he had the address Erik Johnston had provided. Then, he plugged it into Google Maps.
“Unbelievable,” Caroline bit out. “It doesn’t exist.” She shook her head. “I’m surprised JL didn’t verify this. She’s running a multi-million-dollar business with government security obligations. How can anyone be that gullible?”
“They’re not just killers, they’re trained con men,” Greystone said.
“It might take a while for me to write the program, then see if there’s overlap with JL’s employees and the terrorists,” Teddy explained. “We got lucky with Erik Johnston. It might not be that easy with the others.”
“Take as long as you need,” Greystone said. “But on May thirty-first, six federal buildings are gonna blow sky high.”
Caroline swatted his arm before regarding Teddy. “You’re doing great, better than great. Perfect.”
Teddy’s proud smile made Greystone chuckle.
