FBI Headquarters
10:50 am

The task force just concluded their after action meeting on the Robbery case. The team was able to arrest the person that was buying the stolen data. He was a North Korean national with suspected ties to the Chinese government. Before closing that link, they went ahead and transmitted the plans to the other party. Not before altering the data slightly of course. Let them spend the next 10 years chasing faulty plans around.

Even though he vehemently denied it, Mitch Gifford was arrested for the theft of classified government data and is being charged with espionage. The warehouse where the laptop was found was purchased in his name and they found data on his personal computer that was part of the stolen information. They found the money trail from his fraudulent billing and his offshore accounts that were recently emptied. While they couldn’t locate the money, it didn’t matter for the trial as the transfers into the account were all documented. All in all the mission was a complete success and the task force’s stock within the Bureau rose a little more. Nikki and Rob were walking toward their offices from the conference room when Rob looked over at Nikki and said in a low voice,

“That was really nice work Nikki, everything is all nice and wrapped up.” He studied her out of the corner of his eye. “The only thing that I can’t answer is the presence of unidentified blood in the warehouse. It doesn’t match Gifford’s type.” Nikki continued walking without the slightest hitch and turned to him,

“That is weird. Maybe it was there before Gifford bought the warehouse. It was only purchased 6 months ago.” Rob continued walking and he looked over at her as he came to his office door,

“Yeah, that must be it. Although, I wonder who Simon is writing about in his blog these days…” he winked at Nikki and went into his office. Nikki turned and kept walking toward her office, hoping he didn’t see her hands shaking or notice that she didn’t take a breath during the entire conversation
