Small Town USA A Stranger In Town

That afternoon, Sean entered the FBI office, where Drago and Mrs. Gutierrez were already at work. Walking toward Drago, he asked, "Agent Drago, do you have the latest report from Wilburn?"

Drago handed a pile of papers to Sean, who remained standing and quietly began studying the report.

Sean looked up as he heard quick footsteps approaching and saw Julie enter. She was well-dressed, but in very conservative business attire. She wore her gold chain and matching earnings, but was bare of any rings or other jewelry. Julie stood at one end of the table and greeted the group. "Good afternoon Assistant Director Gutierrez, Agent Drago, Sean." Sean's eyes followed Julie around the table as she walked over and sat across from Mrs. Gutierrez and next to Drago.

Sean stepped to the side so he was directly behind Julie. He bent over slightly and said softly, "Good afternoon, Julie," before taking a seat next to Mrs. Gutierrez.

"Agent Drago, please give us an update on the case," requested Mrs. Gutierrez.

"On Saturday, while the FBI team was in Buenos Aires, there was another chemical release at the OC Chemicals Plant."

Sean interrupted, "Yes, I believe I saw Forsythe trigger that event."

Drago continued, "There were no injuries or exposures. The release was liquid and the sump contained the entire spill. The chemical was an emulsifying agent used in the polymer-processing unit. An FBI team will check out the OC Chemicals plant this week.
