Moon- T. Bradford (engl. Version) [1]

Chapter twenty-eight.

Today, the LAPD would do a shooting training and Katie had volunteered to participate as well. A little training couldn't hurt and Angela could work a bit with Camila so that they could work on a real case. In addition, she was also able to improve the function in her shoulder

"Uhg...I hate training in public. As if I had to share a trade secret," Tim complained as he got out of the car together with Nyla and Katie and got their things out of the trunk. "Isn't it possible that Tim Bradford is afraid of failure? There are also tablets for something like that," Nyla asked laughing and Katie had to refrain from a grin.

"Listen to them. The last four years I've been third after Katie and Lopez. Now that our protected detectives are, I almost have crown in my pocket," Tim explained to her and now grinned himself. "Oh, I only see a problem for you... Me," Nyla said, those who have already arrived at the hut.

"Today is the day of the firearms test. And yes, I said day, because even if they are given a month for this requalification, I expect the expected score from each of them. As police officers, we must never forget the power we have with such a weapon. But there are only three times when they should actually use their weapon. Which ones are they, rookies?" Sergeant Grey wanted to know.

"To protect his life.
To protect a third person's life.
Or to prevent the escape of a person who has committed a crime under the threat of violence and poses a danger to the public if they were allowed to flee," the rookies explained quite exemplary how it should be.

"I am Officer Dixon. Your Range Master. Each target has two sides. The civilian and the suspect. When they see the suspect, they have three seconds to shoot. Shoot on the side of the civilian, they automatically fly through. They have 36 shots, 2 magazine changes. They passed with 30 hits," Officer Dixon explained to the people present very precisely.

First the To's had shot and everyone passed, but now it was the rookies' turn and then Katie.

"Should we make it more interesting? 20$ when your rookie does the race?" Stanton suggested to the other two TO'S when it was the rookies' turn. "Good, I'm in." "Me too." both voted. "I'm also in. Then I get your money when I win." Katie now put on herself and got confused glances from Stanton. "What? You don't seriously think that I'll let you play alone, do you??"

"In 1st place. The most hits, the fastest time and the densest grouping. Detectiv Winters. With one more point than Officer Chen. Congratulations. You remain our champion," Grey congratulated her when it was everyone's turn and the results were announced.

Waiting, Katie held her hand to the three To's and the next moment she was 60$ richer. Grinning, she put the money away before she turned back to the important things. "Bradford, Harper. They are both third."

"What did I say?" Nyla grinned at Tim, who only shook his head acidified.

"I need a signature." Tamara surprised Katie as she entered the district. "Tamara, good morning," Katie greeted the teenager. "Good morning, it's about who owns the car. The police constantly doubt that you gave it to me," she explained to her and Katie nodded with a sigh. "You have not yet confirmed the appointment with the social worker on Tuesday. We have to find a place for you to stay," she said.

"I will be there. Promised..." Tamara promised her and handed her the note when Katie discovered a book in Tamara's backpack. "Hey, psychology was my major," Katie told her kindly. "Cool. I only took it because there was no other way," the student replied. "You should deal with it," Katie advised her and handed her the now signed note again. "So the car is officially yours. Drive carefully."

Shortly afterwards, Katie had to leave, because she was called to a crime scene. Stanton and Jackson were both already present when she arrived there and the rookie just explained the clues to his trainer.

"I see Lopez was a good teacher," Katie complimented the young protégé. "I'm sorry you had to wait," she apologized before turning to the case. "Whole new tones. I've never heard that a detective apologizes," commented Stanton and Katie had to admit that the man got on her nerves. "I was also once responsible for the crime scene. So what do we have here?" She skillfully changed the subject.

"A Hispano, was tortured and virtually executed. probably also by a gang member whose body we will find somewhere next week. A case in which there are no victims if they ask me," said Stanton. "But I didn't ask. Listen around the area," she replied annoyed.

"Yes, ma'am." it just came back from him pissed off and the two men were about to leave when Katie Jackson stopped again briefly. "Don't become a hater through Doug. It's easy to judge others." she asked him and turned her eyes away from the file she held in her hand. "I really miss driving with Lopez," he saddly to her. "Is everything okay?" Katie was worried about her best friend's former protégé and he nodded and then followed Stanton and Katie turned to the body.

"Luna. How are you?" Katie was happy to see her boss's wife when she entered his office. "I'm fine, Detectiv Winters. How's it going, Elliot?" Luna now asked as a counter-question. "He's fine, he's growing magnificently," Katie replied happily and then turned the real reason why she was here.

"I just have a strange murder case. Forensic medicine has brought armor-proofing ammunition from my victim," she explained to those present. "Pnazerbreaking?? Who was so angry with him?" Grey wanted to know. But Katie could not provide him with a suitable explanation. "I don't know, but he had connections to the Malos Dorados. Do you have another informant?" She explained to him what she knew." Felix Minosa. He has been working under Wysocki since I was in this department. He helps them," Grey replies to her.

"Thank you. I was happy to watch her." she said goodbye to the two.
