Al had slept very little and Michelle was now off life support and slowly starting to recover. Everytime Al went to visit her, all he could see was his friend lying in some cold place being tortured. Al knew what it was like, but he had the memory of Beth to keep him going. Sam had only him, but would Sam hold on long enough for Al to get to him. " Admiral, I think we have found the information we need. " Ziggy's voice could be heard in the empty corridor that Al was walking down. Already on his way to the Control Room, he told Ziggy that he was on his way. In the Control Room, Gooshie was reading information off a computer screen to a technician. Alerted to Al presents by Ziggy, Gooshie turned around and explained what they had found. " Sir, we are happy to report, that we may have fix on Dr. Beckett. When it was obvious that Michelle Thomas was kidnapped, and subjected to physical abuse, Ziggy started checking all the local and non-local reports of similar crimes, as well as missing people. We found three possible people who may have kidnapped Michelle. The Imaging Chamber is set up with the home of the first person. " Grabbing a hand link, Al rushed into the Chamber. Inside he found a man sitting down. The room looked like a lounge room and there where two children present. Al looked through the house ad told Gooshie to lock him on Sam. After a few seconds, the reply was from Ziggy was that Sam was not there and no lock would be forth coming. Punching in a new set of commands, the room around Al changed to a busy Subway. Al saw the man he was locked on to and followed him around for a few minutes. Once a lock was fully fully set up , Al then left the man and visited the man's home. Ziggy had given 89.98% odds that Michelle would have been kept at the captors home. After spending 10 minutes in the house, Al was sickened. He did not find Sam, but he found a basement full of torture equipment as well as two dead bodies. The last place on the short list was where Al went next. Once he appeared beside the quit man, Al knew he had found Sam. The tall muscular man was dusting the mantelpiece. His eyes were what had grabbed Al's attention. They were angry eyes, eyes full of hatred and evil. The house was dark, as if a shadow, hung over it. Not taking anymore time to look around, Al told Gooshie to center him on Sam. Within seconds, he was standing in a dark, cold room.
