SURRERA-NON CHILL MODE

TAKE HIM OUT

Battalion Chief Robert Sullivan was shot by a sniper outside of the home he shares
with Andy Herrera. The wound is non-life-threatening (instincts honed during
his Iraq and Afghanistan tours likely saved his life-he sprang to one side as the
sniper, JOSH BARRENS, fired from a perch 1000 yards away).

Barrens is in custody, however, The Seattle PD have questions: for ANDREA HERRERA...

At The Seattle PD precinct serving the Sullivan-Herrera household, Lucas Ripley does his best to calm his wife, Lieutenant  Victoria Ripley-Hughes, Lieutenant Maya Bishop, Travis Montgomery, and Lieutenant Jack Gibson.

He snags Detective Ryan Tanner as he, Ryan, is headed through the doors marked AUTHORIZED PERSONS ONLY'...

"Ryan...what the fuck is going on? Surely you don't suspect Herrera is involved in Sully's shooting!"

"They say they want her questioned, I question her, Chief", Ryan says. In a lower voice, he says, "Look, I know her, and I don't believe she's capable of something like this, but eyes are on this: Chief Dixon."

"Don't let ...'whatever' get in the way," Rip warns.

"I gotta go, Chief...I'll see you."

Lead Detective Lana Balderas and Ryan pause outside of interview room 4. Inside, Andrea Herrera sits placidly. Before entering, Lana turns to Ryan and says, "I have serious reservations about you coming in there with me, Tanner."

Ryan assures her, "I'm GOOD...really."

"You were FUCKING HER-for years...you can be objective?"

"Old history...and it wasn't YEARS...not consistently."

"A'ight...we have eyes on us."

INSIDE:

"Miss Herrera, hello. I'm Detective Balderas, and I believe you and Detective Tanner are acquainted...can we get you something before we begin?"

"No thank you. Yes, I know Ryan...hello."

DET B: You have a strong fan club in the FD, Ms. Herrera...The Chief is here, along with two  Lieutenants: they were very insistent about being allowed to stick around during our talk, in the waiting room.

AH: Both women are MADRINAS-God Mothers-of my little boy.

DET B: You and Detective Tanner share some history, I understand...is there a problem with him being a part of this interview?

AH: NO...none.

DET T: The subject of this interview is the shooting of Station 19 battalion Chief Robert Sullivan, on 19 April at approximately 0220hrs, at your and Mr. Sullivan's residence. You are acquainted with both the suspect and the victim, which is why we wanted to talk with you. Again: you are not under arrest, and are free to leave at any time.

AH: I understand that.

DET T: To verify: you and the victim are legally married, that's correct?

AH: It is. We share a child, and I'm currently pregnant.

DET B: You are the beneficiary of any life insurance, correct?

AH: I am. But I DID NOT have anything to do with Robert being shot-I have a large insurance settlement from my deceased parent's estates. It makes no sense that I would try to have him killed for money-he's the father of my children, and I'm in love with him. I resent any implication that I'm involved in this, in any way.
