Several news vans were still parked outside the Miami police station, reporters doing live broadcasts when they suddenly saw police officers rushing out of the station, jumping into cars, and speeding away with sirens blaring. They immediately realized something major had happened.
Reporters were a resourceful bunch. After a few phone calls, they learned what had happened and instantly became excited.

"All we know now is that his name is Jason. We know nothing else. Even Jason might be a fake name."

Microphones were thrust beneath the chief's mouth. "Chief, the suspect escaped, correct? Can you tell us what happened?"
"How did the suspect escape? Was anyone injured?"
The reporters bombarded the chief with one pointed question after another.

The reporters turned and saw a blonde beauty, immediately crowding around her with excited questions. "Agent Scarlett, how did the suspect escape?"
"Can't the FBI even keep watch over a captured suspect?
