Icon: Unanswered Questions

Hood works for an organization that monitors the illegal guns purchases. However at the beginning of the story, a man was run over by another vehicle and was left alone to die in the desert when help came for him at the last minute.

Was Hood the man that was run over? How long ago did the incident occur? Where in Mexico does Hood work? Is the man still alive that was run over? What happened to the couple that ran him over? Did they end up calling an ambulance to rescue the man?

Icon: Patterns

Hood meets with Erin and Bradley because Bradley was able to get a job at LASD. The pattern that I notice is that Hood has all of these connections with mysterious people that haven't been explained in this book. An example of this is Bradley, who the reader does not know what the connection between the two are. Another example is when Hood investigates Victor Davis's house. Up until then, there was hardly any information given about who Victor Davis was, and how he was related to the Iron River until after they broke in. Even then, it seemed like Hood didn't really know who Victor really was. I predict that these relationships will not only be explained, but it will pertain to the story to make it more comprehensive.
