"Well, this is the place."
Agent Green pulled into a parking spot in front of an apartment complex and got out of the car. He hoped to talk to the parents of Lionel Ulysses, the man who murdered Jeff Decker, to get a lead in the case. Wherever that man was, he wouldn't be hurting anyone anymore once he was caught.
Walking along the sidewalk, he glanced at the numbers above each door, reading them aloud.
"3C, 3B, 3A, 2D, 2C... here we are! Apartment 2B!"
He walked to the door and knocked on it twice. Behind the door, he could hear someone walking to answer it. When the door opened, Agent Green was greeted to a man that looked to be a few years older than he was.
"Hello sir," Agent Green said, "My name is Theodore Green. I'm part of the FBI, and I would like to ask you and your wife a few questions about your son."
"George! Who is it?," a voice called from inside the apartment.
"An FBI agent who would like to talk to us about our son Caroline," the man, obviously named George, responded.
George Ulysses turned to Agent Green. "Please, come in," he said.
--------------------------------------------------
"What can you tell us about our son?," Caroline Ulysses asked Agent Green. The three adults were sitting in the Ulysses' living room, discussing Lionel Ulysses.
"We are looking everywhere for him," Agent Green said, "But we haven't found anything. That's why I'm here. I would like to ask you some questions to see if we can get a clue as to where he is."
"Well," George said, "Lionel was a troublemaker growing up. He was always getting in trouble in school and getting in detention. We thought it was just a phase that he would grow out of."
"Apparently not, I'm afraid," Agent Green said, commenting on what Ulysses' father had said.
"Yes," said Caroline Ulysses, "Things got worse when he got to high school. He started hanging out with the wrong crowd. We tried everything we could to get him to turn a new leaf, but to no avail. He started to do drugs and sell drugs. Before we knew it, our little boy had become wanted for drug dealing in four states."
Agent Green watched as Caroline Ulysses wiped a tear from her eye.
"We never thought he'd go as far as to murder someone," she continued, tears streaming down her face, "Now all we want is for him to be caught before he hurts someone else."
"Believe me," Agent Green said, "I plan to. Do you have any idea where he might have went after he murdered Jeff Decker?"
There was a moment of silence before George broke it by saying, "I once overheard him talking about being in a gang. I told Caroline, and we both tried to hear more, but we didn't catch it all."
"What did you hear?," Agent Green asked, pulling out a notepad and a pen.
"I remember hearing him saying that they meet outside Seattle every Sunday," Caroline said, "That's all I heard."
Agent Green finished writing down what Caroline Ulysses had said and closed the notepad.
"Thank you both," he said, shaking their hands, "I promise, I will find your son, and he will get the justice he deserves."
