Listening to another dispatcher in his earpiece, Sergeant Barry Williams, who was leading a second SWAT team inside, tried to track Sanders down--but he says no one could tell him where the science rooms were. Still, he and his team searched on, looking for a rag that kids said they had tied on the doorknob as a signal...

Brigette/id Kerrigan could stir up acrimonious polemics about how her name should be spelled and provoke a near-insurrection with the well-timed wave of a flag...
