Part 34 � Real Food
and Real People �

Don was still thinking about Rubel as he walked up the
hallway toward Will�s room.� He�d almost
gotten to the room before he realized that no one was on guard duty outside the
door.� He set his jaw, someone was in trouble,
and pushed open the door.

The room was empty.�
The extra chairs removed, the bed made.�
Don�s heart clenched and adrenaline slammed into his veins.� He�d been gone too long, something had
happened, Will was in surgery, Will died,
and no one told him.

Before he could completely panic, the door opened.� Don spun to see one of the ICU nurses.

�Mr. Stevens was moved out of ICU,� the nurse said
quickly.�

Don sighed in relief and she gave him an understanding
smile.

�Room 331,� she said.

Don nodded and hurried out to find the new room.�

It was easy to spot, once he was on the right floor, because
Eno was sitting in a chair outside the door.�
Don greeted Eno then opened the door.�
Will was sitting up in bed, and had a lot fewer things attached to him
than he had in ICU.

�Look at you!� Don smiled.�

�Hey,� Will said.�
�Wherez you been?�

�We caught our hacker,� Don said, then lept to keep Will in
the bed as he surged forward.

�Wha?� Will growled.�
�You diddn� tell me?�

Don pushed Will back to the pillow.� �I�ve been trying to break him down.� We haven�t got the mole yet.�

Will grumbled under his breath and sat back.

�In fact,� Don continued, �Charlie thinks that there isn�t a
mole, that Rubel � that�s the hacker�s name � has done it all by himself.�

�Bro-oke into DEAz computerz?�� Will said with disbelief.� �How gud iz thiz guy?�

�Very good.� Charlie
was fawning all over him like a groupie.�

�Huh,� Will said.�
�Tell me all �bout it!�

�At least let me say �hi� to your sister first,� Don
said.� He smiled at Amy.� �Actually, this will interest you too, I
bet.� But don�t ask me technical
questions!� You�ll have to talk to
Charlie for that.�

�Is he coming here?� Amy asked from her spot on the other
side of Will�s bed.

�No,� Don chuckled.�
�Colby made him go home to bed.�
One minute he�s the FBI�s computer god, then the next he�s a little boy
with a bed time.�

Amy laughed.� �He�s a
sweetie.� They both are.�

�Yep,� Don said.

Will made an impatient sound and Don said, �Okay,� and
pulled up a chair.

For the next hour, Don told Will and Amy everything he could
remember from the moment that he�d gotten into the office.� He answered Will�s still stumbling questions
and even a few of Amy�s technical ones.

�Now,� Don summed up with a sigh.� �It�s wait on Charlie time, as usual.�

�Nothing you can do?� Amy asked sympathetically.

�None of the usual interrogation tactics will work on this
guy.�

�Wha �bout un�usal?� Will asked.

�Like what?�

�If ya le� me see recor�ing, I�ll tell ya.�

Don raised his eyebrows, but understood Will�s desire to see
Rubel�s face, hear his words directly.�
�Blackmailing me already, eh?� You
must be feeling better.�

Will grinned.

�Okay,� Don agreed. ��I�ll get Megan to bring over a copy on a
laptop.�

�Will had another first earlier,� Amy said with a smile.

�Real fuud,� Will said.�
�Well, appusause �n juise.�

�Great!� Don said, �We�ll get you up to a steak in no time.�

�Sssteak,� Will groaned.

�Don�t start on that again,� Amy laughed.

Don chuckled in agreement.�
�I�m gonna go give Megan a call, then be back, okay?�

Will nodded.� Don
stepped out to call Megan, and, by the time he�d returned, Will was
asleep.� Quietly, Don pulled up a chair
to Will�s bedside, smiled at Amy, and picked up the newspaper.

�Don?� someone was saying, shaking his shoulder.�

Don blinked and stretched, trying to unkink himself from
chair he�d fallen asleep in.� A section
of newspaper slid to the floor.

�That looked awfully uncomfortable,� Megan said with a
smile.� �And Will wants to talk with
you.�

Don looked over at the bed to see that Will was frowning at
a computer on his lap.� The recording
that was playing explained why Rubel�s voice had been twining through Don�s
dreams.

Will looked over at Don and Megan.� �You �splain?� he requested.

�You got it,� Megan said.�
She leaned against the bed and took off her glasses.� �Will and I have been talking and watching
the tape again.� Oh, and I went home and
got some sleep too.� Cleared my head
some.� What we need is to show Rubel how
his abstract principles played out in concrete reality.� Show him real people that got hurt.� He�s arguing high ideals and statistics,
let�s show him the dirty real world.�

�CTen,� Will commented.

�Right,� Megan said.�
�Will pointed out something I should have noticed immediately.� Even if I was distracted by what happened
after.�

Will shook his head then gave Don an understanding smile,
and Don figured out �what happened� was Don had shook off Megan and stormed
back into the room.

�When Charlie was asking him about how dangerous CTen is,�
Megan continued. �Rubel kept answering a different question, about prescription
drugs, marijuana, etc.� He doesn�t want
to acknowledge how dangerous CTen really is.�

�True,� Don said slowly.�
�That�s true.�� He looked at Will
and a vindictive smile lit his face.� �I
need to take him to the morgue.�
