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

Chapter thirty-three

Outside, the bomb command had now also arrived and tried to make a plan on how to get Katie out of there. They had helicopters in use and approached in groups, just as Katie could see it through the small hole next to her. But suddenly the perpetrator fell over and Katie desperately tried to get to the dead man switch, but she didn't get far enough. Her arms were too short. The man had passed out and killed almost everyone.

But instead of suggesting us to turn off the switch, he stuffed himself with tablets. With her brand, which was still on her waistband, Katie forwarded a tip to the other in order to finally be able to identify the stranger. Graham Porter. He was in Primedale for three years because of a number of smaller offenses.

With his other free hand, he had now knocked out Katie, so that she could no longer ask any annoying questions all the time. So Katie didn't get anything. Not like Graham pointed his gun at her and wanted to shoot her. An innocent detective lying on the ground. Fortunately, they were able to arrest him and save Katie, who was now sitting with an ice pack, next to Camila, Tim and Angela. Nolan had managed to get them out of it.

"Go home." Asked Tim his girlfriend, but she didn't want to go, so she followed Stanton and West together with Tim and Lucy.

"Headquarters. Adam 7-07. Code 6 at the Manor Apartments. Check the terrain." Stanton's voice sounded over the radio and Tim and Katie looked at each other confused. "Why isn't he calling for reinforcements?" Tim wanted to know stunned. "He thinks he has it under control." It sounded meekly from Lucy who had left Katie in the passenger seat. "You don't put a foot there? Pure without a helmet and baton." Katie commented and the next moment they drove towards the Manor Apartments.

But when they got there, Jackson was beaten up on the ground and Doug Stanton didn't go against it. He had lied to her, but they didn't know that at the time.

When Katie and Lucy discovered the officer lying on the ground, they immediately ran towards him and knelt next to him.

"He's still breathing." Katie breathed relief. "Rescue car to the place of operation. Officer injured, 24, male, polytrauma." Tim sparked the central. "Jackson?? Jackson? What happened? Who did this to them?" Katie asked him carefully, but he didn't answer, he only raised his hand towards Stanton's body cam and turned it on. He had his bodycam off all the time.

But they could look up everything. Everything he had done. That he had seen that Jackson was lying on the ground and was beaten up and he had not considered it necessary to help.

"Officer Doug Stanton. Here I am suspending them with immediate effect from service. Her weapon and her mark." Grey demanded after he had also seen the video. Katie stood next to Jackson who was just to be brought to the RTW, but he wanted to see the whole thing. "Hands off!" The one addressed tried to defend himself. "Please give me a reason." Tim said angrily to him and then Doug already put the gun and the service stamp in the hand of the coffin. "Don't leave the city. They do not act anywhere in their capacity as police officers. Not even in court. They will be available to the police chief in the next 30 minutes. After appropriate examination, they will be brought before a legal committee." Grey explained to him what would happen now.

"We are not finished yet." It was despised by Stanton. "We don't. But they are." Those were Grey's last words before he let Stanton go.

*******

"I'm damn proud of Jackson. What he had to take on himself for Doug Stanton to finally be revealed." Katie said honestly when she dropped on the sofa next to Tim, which had Elliot on his lap, which he had just fallen asleep in his dad's arms. "Yes. Now the ass is finally out of the picture and we can do our work properly again without any problems," he answered and put his free arm around his girlfriend.

"But now let's talk about something else. How about we invite the others and tell them about our baby. I know it's still very early and a lot can still go wrong, but I... I want to do it right this time. So everything.... I know that last time I wasn't really there for you...I was afraid...very afraid to make the same mistakes I had to make in my childhood.... Elliot should have a better father than me... And there I moved away... not only from him.... No, also from you.... And that's supposed to be different this time... I promise you... if there's something... then... then we'll talk to each other and clarify the problems in the now and here." Tim tried to explain the brown-haired one and she understood it. She understood why he had acted like that. In any case, she understood it now. At the time it happened, she was mad at him and just didn't want to understand it.

"I think that's a good idea. However, there is a small problem... Angela wants me to accompany her in the next shopping for the wedding dress, so that we can also find a bridesmaid dress for me... even if it could be difficult if my belly continues to grow next month and I get fat." She said laughing and put her head on his shoulder. "You won't get fat. Our baby needs space to grow up and strong." He flattered.

Then they spent the evening together on the sofa before they went to bed.
