Unfortunate Trio “I trust you. I’m not at all worried. I know you won’t let something slip or give Piper Weber the scoop she’s looking for,” Jericho said again. “But, she doesn’t know that. If you can tolerate her constant advances, it would really help me out here.” “I’ll keep her busy,” Dean promised. “Okay,” Tolman continued. “Now that we have that settled. Where are we on the case?” “Sean called, he’s the agent working this for the FBI. He’s on his way as we speak,” Paige informed them. “We got lucky on that one. Sean is solid, we can trust him not to seek out the media or blab about anything. I’ve been sifting through soil this morning and I think I may have found something.” She continued to tell them what she found, why she was starting in Moab and St. George, and the plan to send the sample to lab with an agent sometime tonight. “Gage has also been looking for missing persons in those areas.” “I haven’t found anything concrete,” Gage admitted. “I talked to both agencies, Grand County and Washington County as well as St. George PD. They are all pulling cases between three and six years old. They agreed to email me photos and reports as soon as they have them compiled. I guess now, it’s just a waiting game. Once I have the documents, we can start sifting through the information. Hopefully, we can narrow down our options.” “Sounds like a good plan,” James said as he stood. “Now, I’m heading back to the office to brief my staff and explain how important confidentiality is during times like this. We might have to tolerate a hundred reporters but they will not get information from any of us unless we want them to have it.” “I’m going to check on the couple at the motel. They said they were checking out, Coen said they don’t want to deal with the media frenzy, but I’d like to make sure,” Paige supplied.
“Don’t you think they will just follow you out there? And if the couple is still in the area, they’ll be hounded until they give up the location of the site,” Tolman warned. “No,” Paige grinned. “Because I’m going to stop at every shop, every restaurant and every motel along the way. If they follow me, they will not get a thing. And as a bonus, I just might keep them occupied for another day.” Jericho laughed, Tolman left the room. Paige followed him out.
