Jens found Vega's car easily enough. And it was empty. Completely expected. He searched the detectives car but found nothing. No evidence that he had driven the car, no evidence that he was still alive or injured or even if his men had found him. The car was in perfect condition. Whatever had happened to him remained a mystery.
A sound outside the vehicle brought his attention to the tunnel entrance. Long since abandoned pipes lead deeper into the bowels of the city. No real cop actually went down there. The rookies might to prove themselves, or the older ones to hid whatever illicit things they were doing.
Jens caught sight of a man running into the tunnel and wondered if he should follow. If it were Vega, he wondered what the man was up to. If it was a thug, well Jens didn't want to go after him. But he was almost certain he caught sight of the detectives profile before he darted further into the darkness.
Jens drew his gun and followed cautiously. This wasn't his first rodeo. And he should radio for back up but not that kind. Jens stopped in the tunnels and sent a text to his own handler.
Vega sighted. Going after him. Coordinates attached.
The Atharim would send back up. They wanted Vega dead.
