Tuesday rolled around and Carlson had not be able to get anything out of either man. Carlson told the man in the basement that if he would not answer his questions he would have to deal with Matthew and since he helped ICE kidnap his wife that Matthew is a person he would not want to talk to. It had been since Saturday since the man in the basement had any food or water. Carlson told him he needed to answer his questions first. No one had called about either man so Carlson thought that was strange. Matthew was receiving messages back from of the agencies. They were willing to offer huge amounts to get rid of ICE. Three out of four was 1 million and the forth was 1.5 million. He returned the message and told them that was not enough. That if they wanted this job completed they would have to do better than that. He thought his team would really be happy about that. Matthew didn’t call Carlson. He thought that Carlson would call if needed and it was easier to deal with things if he kept the man in the basement out of his mind. He was hoping by Wednesday that all the agencies he contacted would reply and him and his men would start working on a plan. It was after lunch and he decided to call Carlson. Matthew asked how it was going and he said there was not an update yet. Matthew told Carlson he wanted to meet with the ICE team everyday at 10am. He said he is starting to get offers of contracts. Matthew thought that maybe everyone could be ready to go with a really good plan by March 1 or 2. Carlson thought that was really great. Carlson said if I can’t get these guys to cooperate when do you want to do something. Matthew said he was trying to keep that off his mind but if he had to see about it maybe tomorrow or Thursday. Carlson said it was strange that no one was looking for these two. He said you would think someone would have called looking for the driver. Matthew said that is interesting. I wondered what’s up with that. I want you to call the bakery and ask for these two. Tell them the driver left his cell phone there and you wanted to return it. Matthew said he was going to put that part of the job out of his mind and he would get an up date tomorrow at the meeting. Bring anything to the meeting that you think will help. We need a rock solid plan. Matthew went between helping Gary and spending time with Mom and Hunter. He was trying to keep negative thoughts out of his mind and make his life better.
Wednesday rolled around and at breakfast Matthew told Mom he had meetings to go to and would try and make it back for lunch. Matthew thought the meeting went really well. Two of his guys had worked as engineers on subs for more than 10years and knew them inside and out. He was very confident his team could complete the mission. His men were becoming excited about the money offers. After the meeting he talked to Carlson and found out no one at the baker knew either guy. Matthew said to quit feeding the driver and gather up Matthew’s supplies and take they down stairs and leave them out side the door. Carlson said the guy down stairs was starting to smell really bad. Matthew said he would like to have a quite day today but would defiantly get to the guy tomorrow. Carlson said ok and Matthew went to see Mom. He was determined to have a nice day.
