You never think it’s going to happen in your town. You never think a terrorist is your local store clerk. The dark energy now lingers in the mist of the foggy drizzle. The rain is gone but the gloominess remains in the air. The threat maybe teamed for now but the question remains how and why? Did Rahami work with others? Will bombings pursue? Although detectives did an amazing job in putting the pieces together with in 48 hours and capturing the number one suspect this investigation is far from over.
