The news of Daniel's death sent a wave of shock and unease through the Bureau and the highest echelons of the U.S. government.
Though they had suspected Silas might kill Daniel, they hadn't anticipated the way it would happen—Daniel taken out with eerie precision, without a trace of Silas's physical presence.
The chilling manner of Daniel's death left them acutely aware of just how elusive and dangerous Silas was becoming.
Shortly after the report of the murder came in, the Bureau launched a secret investigation to determine the identity of the killer. Though deep down, most of them suspected who was responsible.
Despite their efforts, no substantial evidence had surfaced. The investigation only served to highlight how little control they had over the situation.
