Charlie’s determined walk through the bullpen drew the attention of the team and they followed closely behind him enroute to the war room.
His laptop was barely connected before Charlie spoke, “So, I used the information you gave me, expanding my search to other federal agencies. Doing that, the Dynamic Network Analysis algorithm kept coming back with only one name.”
The team settled into the room as Charlie hit “enter” on his computer, bringing the ID to the large screen.
“Natasha Warren, Department of Defense?” David read aloud, speculation in his voice.
“I was suspicious at first myself,” Charlie smirked and before he could continue, Megan chided.
“You know, not all masterminds are men. In fact, women are less likely to get caught.”
“Be that as it may,” Charlie continued. “Considering the list of demands made by the terrorists and her known associates, including work with Agent Walker, the algorithm gives her a 93% probability as your most likely suspect.”
“It fits. She knows Walker and her capabilities. It also explains that sense of controlled chaos. With a woman running the team, situations are less likely to scale to violence. It’s more about winning the game than forcing it,” Megan replied, her hands gesturing to make her point.
“Do we know where she is?” Don questioned, raising an eyebrow at his brother.
“I’m glad you asked because using another program, I considered the toxin’s chemical signature - available components, transportability. Considering also space needed to mass produce and contain the toxin, and considering Agent Warren’s known associates, I’ve narrowed down the location to three warehouses near the waterfront. Here…here…and here.” He pointed out each with a click.
“Good work Charlie. Thanks!” Don called, dashing from the room with his team - moving to organize a full scale tactical response. [
