"Hello, Deputy?" Noah wasn't surprised that Valerie called him. But he was surprised to hear her request, especially after learning that her Chief hadn't trusted her and was unwilling to grant her permission to seek help from the bomb disposal squad.
"Can you perhaps help me in this matter?" Valerie questioned carefully and glanced at Maggie who nodded back at her assuringly.

"But they cannot help us, Mr. Carter." Valerie rejected him immediately. "You'll be in deep trouble if anyone else finds out about your involvement. I need someone who works for the country, maybe a SWAT team or someone else."
"Can't you try speaking to the SWAT team yourself, Deputy?"
