Alex moved quickly, power walking along as he followed the path of Cole through the city and, disturbing, towards the Capital. The sight of the oncoming Justicar, engrossed in his work and with an escort, was enough to send all but the foolhardy scurrying out of the way, lest they meet and draw undue attention on themselves. Even if they had committed no crime, no one particularly wanted to attract the attention of the Ultimatum, unless it was positively oriented. Certainly not the attention of a Justicar busy at work.

But he paid no regard to them, fully engrossed in his mission. He was going to find this man, and he could tell the trail was closing. The point he was at in the recording was a mere five or so minutes ago....

His thought process was interrupted by the sound of explosions, drawing his attention away from his holopad to the disturbance, where fire faded and plums of ash and dust drifted into the sky as frames of buildings shuddered and collapsed.

"Carton," he growled to himself, the culprit obvious. As if to confirm that, the camera replay showed him entering the construction site.Well, not much to be done about that now. As security personnel responded, his full attention was on the chase. Just another crime to add to the list. 

A quick tap on his holopad brought him into contact with the security officer on scene. "Lieutenant, this is Justicar Alex Sinclair. I have reason to believe that this bombing was the work of a known terrorist and fugitive of the law. I need you to lock down this entire block. No one gets out. Am I understood?"

"Yes sir," came the quick response.

"Good," Alex replied, cutting off the call. He fast forwarded, reasoning that if Cole had gone in, he had to come out, and so he did. But if he missed his guess, he was still in the area. "I want a sweep done, building by building, until the entire block has been done. If he's here, we'll find him," he ordered with a sweep of his arm, before moving for the motel closest to the bombing site as a matter of procedure.

He entered in a quick stride, bringing overwhelming authority to bear as he presented his credentials to the man behind the desk. "I am Justicar Alex Sinclair, on official Ultimatum business, Have you seen this man recently," he asked, displaying the holopad with the image of Carton and his name. "Remember that if you lie, and I find out, then there will be dire consequences for you. Obstruction of justice and harboring a wanted fugitive are hardly charges to be taken lightly," he added. It seemed the search was on.
