"I’ru So co" Zane nudged Ty’s arm with his knee from where he stood next to the bed
"Ice cream?" Ty repeated flatly as he sat up "Seriously?" he asked dubiously
"Yeah," Zane drew out "Why? What’s wrong with ice crearuht blush as he sat back up, his head lowered
Zane frowned "You can stay here, you know," he said "I just figured you ," Ty ," he told his partner as he sat on the end of the bed and pushed his feet into his boots "I hate knowing I’ able to place it"
That, Zane could identify with He nodded and adjusted the straps of his holster once it was over his shoulders, gri as it rubbed over sore spots
"Before we get you ice creaested suddenly
"What hotel room?" Zane asked with a frown
"The last cri," Ty answered as he picked up the fax he had been studying earlier "This is the list of phone calls hlighted everything that’s not delivery," he said wryly as he waved it in the air
Zane took the fax and looked it over with a slight grimace There weren’t hted
"The first is Tier," Ty said with a nod at the paper "He was their liaison, just like us The second is soure out the specifics of the routing My guess is they used their cellswaste of paper," he went on bitterly
"What about cell phone records?" Zane asked as he handed the fax back to Ty
"Another day out, they tell o to the roo was hed, not looking up at Zane as he stared at the paper "I’d just like to see it," he answered distantly, his voice suddenly softer and al that Ty and Special Agent Elias Sanchez must have been pretty close once upon a time He nodded silently and turned away to pull on his jacket, leaving the other htly, letting the fax flutter to the end of his bed as he reached for his holster

The room was dark and alhtly and the air vents all closed up Dry blood still caked one of the beds, and there was another spot on the carpet near the table, where the second agent had fallen Ty stood in the center of the roo a feel for the scene He looked back at Zane, where his partner stood near the entry
"You’re the killer," he told the ht there where the tag is," he requested, pointing to where the ballistics forensics personnel had pinpointed the killer fired fro look, but moved to stand just over the little yellow placard that marked the spot Tyto face Zane
He cocked his head at hiesture to the bed "And I’ with you about what the fuck ever
Who do you kill first to ave the bed a cursory exa the belt holster that still rested on the table beside it He glanced back at Ty, then around the rooun," he answered, not seeing the man’s weapon in the room, which meant when they wheeled him out of the room, it had still been on him

"So I’d take you out first," Zane answered without hesitation He held his finger up like it was a gun andTy with it Then he turned and fired another fake shot at the bed
"Four shots were heard," Ty murmured as he turned and looked down at the floor behind him The blood on the floor wasn’t just a pool, it was a smear One shot hadn’t killed Sanchez He hadhis weapon to return fire as he tried to find cover on the floor But there were two ot off a round,"
Ty htly ill He could see the action as if he had been there He could see Sanchez, knowing he was going to die even as he pulled his gun and tried to save his partner
He shook his head and jerked himself away from the visual before he could fall further into it, and he s on the desk, going through drawers, even heading into the bathrooents had left behind
Zane still stood waiting patiently when he returned and grunted unhappily
