I waited, knowing the team would give me a call when they felt it necessary. Which didn’t make it easier, I’ll tell you that. I pulled out a small set of binoculars and focused on the entrance to the park, seeing uniformed police running about, with many headed up the path. Won’t be long now. Clock’s ticking. Finally, Knuckles came on. “Target is fleeing. Back the way he came. He’s avoiding the path and the police. He’s coming down through the trees.” I said, “Straight north?” “Yeah. Straight north.” He’s going to hit Jennifer’s path. “Can you keep eyes on?” “Not without compromise. And he’s got a weapon.” The unspoken command being, I’ll have to kill him. I said, “Let him go. I think he’s going to end up right in front of me. All elements, all elements, give me an up.”
