Outside in Los Angeles city

Jack closes the door and walks toward the entrance of house number 6. Jack rings the bell and after a few seconds Rick opens the door.

"Good to see you, Jack," says Rick. "come in."

"You too," says Jack and gets into the house.

"So what's up, Jack? How's your family? I bet your kids have grown a lot," says Rick.

"yes."

"You want a drink?" Rick asks.

"No, I'm fine."

Jack sits down on the couch and Rick sits in front of him.

"So what was so urgent for you that to meet now after we have not met for more than ten years?" Rick asks.

"I need to know something," says Jack. "You're still a good friend of Ryan?"

"No, I haven't seen him in years."

"But you were very close friends," says Jack.

"Yes we were"

"so what happened?" Jack asks.

"Just something personal between me and him."

"Look, I'm a federal agent," says Jack, showing his badge. "So don't play games with me."

"You are an agent, pshhhi, Good for you, Jack," says Rick. "Which agency?"

"I am the head of Counter Terrorist Unit," says Jack. "And I'll ask you again, are you a friend of Ryan?"

"I told you, no."

"Don't lie to me," says Jack.

"I'm telling the truth."

"I see in your face that you are lying," says Jack.

Rick remains in silent and Jack continues: "The information you know about Ryan could help to national security. So I need you to tell me everything you know about him."

"What is the connection to national security?" Rick asks.

"Today will be an attempt to assassinate Senator David Palmer," says Jack. "I know that Ryan helped the terrorists in their plan."

"Ryan wouldn't do that," says Rick nervously.

"We know that Ryan met with a businessman connected with these terrorists," says Jack. "Ryan has sold something and I need to know if you know anything about this business."

"I'm not in touch with Ryan for a long time, so why should I know which businesses he is doing," says Rick and gets up from the sofa.

"Sit down!" Jack commands. "We're just getting started here."

Rick sits down on the couch.

In the room Lucas is standing and is leaning with his hands a little bit backwards on the table. The door opens and a man in the middle thirties enters the room. He has short black hair.

"James, here's your device," says Lucas. "Now you can pay me?"

"I told you that I would pay you the moment I saw the device works," says James.

"Okay, but Ryan told me this device only works on some metals," says Lucas.

"You bought a device that works part-time?!"

"We both knew that device could be not complete yet," says Lucas.

"Luckily I thought about it and I bought three different types of sniper rifles. Each of them is made from another metal," says James and opens the drawer.

He takes out three different types of metals and lays them on the table.

"Every metal here is from another rifle," says James. "If the device success to hide one of these metals from the metal detector that means we could use a sniper rifle from that metal."

On the table there is the device, the three metals and a metal detectors. Lucas sits down on the chair that is on the other side of the table and press the blue button in the middle of the device. The device has five blank lines. Every second a line is filled with a green light.

The five lines light up in green, and Lucas says: "The device is ready."

Lucas takes the metal detector and puts it on the first metal piece. The detector identifies the metal and does: beep, beep, beep, beep. Lucas passes the metal detector on the second metal and again there is the sound: beep, beep, beep, beep.

"It better for you that it will work with the last metal," says James.

Lucas scans the last metal with the metal detectors and hears: beep, beep, beep, beep.

"It's not working, ha?" Says James.

"Wait a minute, give me time," says Lucas.

"Someone will have to pay for it and it will be you or Ryan."

"Wait, maybe there is a problem in the device," says Lucas. "Just let me open it and maybe I could fix it from the inside"

Lucas picks up the device and sees that it has four small screws.

"You have a screwdriver?" Asks Lucas.

"Yes," says James and opens the top drawer.

He takes a screwdriver and brings it to Lucas. Lucas takes the screwdriver and begins to remove the screws.

Lucas removes the last screw and opens the device. Inside the device there is nothing except the chip that is responsible for lighting the green lights.

"Dammit!" Lucas says angrily. "Ryan took the electronic component that is responsible for activating the device. He cheated us."

"You mean he cheated you," says James. "you've made a mistake!"

"True, but my mistake can still be fix," says Lucas. "The electronic component is probably still with Ryan. I bet he's hiding it in his house."

"Okay, you're in luck that this time I can fix it," says James. "And know that this is the last time you do something like that because next time there will be consequences."

"Of course," replies Lucas.
