Beck sat in his office, rereading his files. After all that had happened – all that he'd been wrong about – he decided he needed to go over everything with a fresh set of eyes. Ones that actually see, he thought to himself, remembering Heather's accusation.

Green, Eric. A law student at the time of the attacks, he had taken on leadership among the Rangers and therefore the town, though in an unofficial capacity. Lover of Mary Bailey, owner of the local bar.

Green, Gail. Nurse. Wife of former Mayor Johnston Green, mother of Jacob Green. A leader in the community – a matriarch.

Green, "Jake" Jacob. Currently Jericho's sheriff, his career was interesting, to say the least. Son of Gail and Johnston Green, and heir apparent to his father's place in the community. Trained as a pilot, but working odd jobs that took him to dangerous places. His file should be thicker, but parts were classified, and it's not like he could call up HQ and ask for them. What was in the file was sketchy, but Beck had deployed to some of the places Jake had been, and he could guess at the type of information filling the gaps.

Hawkins, Robert. At least, that was the name he went by with his family. As an undercover agent, he had too many aliases to list. Since most of was Hawkins did was classified, his folder was very thin, mostly consisting of notes he took himself.

Lisinski, Heather. Schoolteacher. There was very little in her file that jumped out at him. No criminal record, no ties to anyone considered dangerous, not even a scandal to her name. She seemed apart from the town in her file, but she was very much involved in the town's affairs, and well-liked to boot.

He sat and puzzled out this oddity. As a teacher, she knew much of the town through their children. But, he realized, that really wasn't knowing them. That was knowing their names and faces, perhaps their public history, but it wasn't really a relationship. And that's when he put his finger on it; she was well-liked by all, but aside from a friendship with fellow teacher Emily Sullivan, she was truly close with nobody. She had no family living; (Killed in a car accident while she was in college, her file said); no serious romantic relationships, no connection that normally was put into a file like this.

Which left him to fill in what he could from his own experience with her. Likable personality, helpful and upbeat, with strong mechanical aptitude. And beneath that friendly exterior, a keen mind and a spine strong enough to stand up to him as he threatened her life.

Sullivan, Emily. Schoolteacher. Banned from the president's visit because her father was a criminal, nevermind that he was long gone. Jake's long-time, on-again, off-again girlfriend…
