Later that evening a man waited at Atlanta’s Hartsfield Airport awaiting his flight to Costa Rica. He had purchased a nice condo there many years ago as an investment, now it was his sanctuary. His flight carried him to Mexico City with a transfer to a flight to San Jose’. When he arrived at the airport after checking his luggage and putting the luggage through security, he immediately headed to go through customs. Sooner or later they’d figure him out and customs was the last check point that he thought that he’d have to worry about. He showed his passport to the customs agent and offered to open his carry on luggage and the agent scanned his passport, the waived him through.

Detective Black knocked on the door of the modest home in the suburbs of Montgomery. No one answered. When he got back to his car, he emailed a note to dispatch. “Be on the look out for Jack Jenkins, Jr. who is driving a new car likely with dealer tags, if you find him detain him for questioning. He is a person of interest in an attempted murder.” At that moment his cell phone rang and it was Jack, Sr. Jack had called his store manager to find out which car Junior was driving and what tags were on it. They had agreed to meet and the dealership and then reviewed the check out slips and found that Junior was driving a Blue Tango Sedan, the most popular color of the most popular model the manufacturer made. He also noticed that it was the lone dealer car without GPS and without an activated security system. He also checked the log to see which cell phone number Junior had. They tried calling the cell phone but it was not turned on. Senior had a hunch that Junior was on the run. He called Detective Black. “He driving a 2010 Tango Sedan, four door, color blue. License plate dXXX-1234. His cellphone is turned off. My gut says he’s running. He owns a place in Costa Rica that he’s visited for years. My guess, is that’s where he’s headed.”

Detective Black immediately got everyone in his office to start calling airlines, he needed to find out whether Jack, Jr. was booked on any international flights. He called INS and asked if Jack Jenkins, Jr. had been through customs in the last 24 hours. They checked their computers and confirmed that he had passed through customs at Atlanta Airport about an hour earlier. He’s fleeing. He contacted Atlanta Airport and asked them if there were any flights to Costa Rica leaving tonight. There were none, but there was one flight to Mexico City that had not left on Yuca Airlines. He called Yuca Airlines and asked if they had a Jack Jenkins or Jack Jenkins, Jr. booked on the flight tonight out of Atlanta. “Why, yes, but its already left the gate”, the lady replied, “and it will be landing in Mexico City in three hours”. Detective Black called the State’s Attorney. “We need an arrest warrant for Jack Jenkins, Jr., the charge attempted murder and vandalism. And then you need the Attorney General to call the Attorney General of the United States to get a fugitive notification to the Mexican authorities all within three hours.” “Wow, that’s a tall order, you’ve got your affidavit and the warrant prepared”, the prosecutor asked. “Yeah, and I’m emailing them to you now”, Black replied. “Good, I’ll go see Judge Moseley, he stays up late and doesn’t seem to get too upset when we ring his doorbell.”
