Reid was impressed with the way Tryner was managing the situation. Not only from a professional standpoint but an emotional one as well. He was at the scene when The Pentagon was hit on 9/11 and it was a good hour before things were at a manageable state from a professional standpoint. Emotionally? McBride doubted that it would ever be manageable from that point of view in this lifetime. This wasn't on the scale of 9/11 but for a small town like this one it could be argued that this was even bigger. Here there is no doubt that there would be escalations and it would be decades before they were able to look back on this and not feel a sense of pain and agony.

Tryner mentioned watching the video later on. Reid was hoping they could find anything that might be of use, and there was no way on this planet that anyone else would know about the video. He just got here and there was only one person Reid trusted and that was Tryner. Then she made the request of scoring a set of wheels, and in most cases he could flash his FBI badge and he could commandeer a bus. Which he did with his partner once. They had a good laugh over that one for years and if they ever watched the movie "Speed" his partner Victor Sanchez would always look at him and say, "How come she can do that you couldn't? You realize you almost took out a chunk of the Smithsonian with that move off of the curb." However this wasn't DC and he had no badge with him that said FBI.

He took a deep breath and said,[B] "No problem." [/B]Reid looked around and saw the officer who was in with Tryner and approached him. This kid was shaken to his core and trying to do his job, but he was really shaken.

Reid said, [B]"Excuse me..." [/B]he looked at his name plate and said,[B] "Officer Davis. My name is Jason Reid I'm with the Associated Press and I was...."[/B]

Davis interrupted, "Mr. Reid I don't think I should be talking to the press at this time."

Reid shook his head and said, [B]"No no no questions or anything that will be in print. I came here with Captain Tryner I'm doing a series of articles about the gang violence here in Justice. I'm staying with Captain Tryner for the time being and we're heading to the hospital. I noticed you have a set of keys on you and you must've showed up on scene by yourself otherwise you'd be with your partner right now."[/B]

Davis nodded and said, "Yes sir. My partner called in sick, so I figured I'd drive around and get used to things. The call came in and I was one block over. I've never seen anything like this."

Reid replied, [B]"Okay I need the keys to your cruiser so we can get to the hospital. Can you get a ride back to the station?"[/B]

Davis nodded and said, "Sure that's not a problem. I'm parked over there by the swing set on the hill." He handed Reid the keys, but he was shaking so bad he dropped them. 

Reid picked them as Davis said, "Sorry about that sir."

Reid asked, [B]"How long you been on the force Davis?"[/B]

Davis looked down and said, "4 months sir."

Reid nodded and said, [B]"Okay, take five minutes write down everything you're feeling and what you see and smell all of it. You got five minutes. Then put it away and do your job. When you get back to the station go see the Station Therapist or Chaplain. My guess you won't be alone, so no one will think less of you. Read back your list to them and go from there. Okay? And it's Jason."[/B]

Davis nodded and said, "Thank you si...I mean Jason. By the way how did you know what to do?". 

Reid replied, [B]"Been embedded with several military units overseas. You learn things."[/B]

Reid smiled and said, [B]"Get writing."[/B]

Reid saw Tryner the two made eye contact, and Reid held up the keys and pointed to the cruiser on the hill and started to head to the cruiser.
