"Officers sit down." Sargent Lee orders. "This briefing will be presented by Officer Darling and Reed." He walks to the back of the room and stands cross armed facing these offices. Both dressed in NYPD uniforms. "We had two victims found in their homes two days ago. Both hanging." Officer Darling switches the presentation to a photo of the victims.

"As many of you may have thought this could have been a double suicide. Us too. Until we the autopsy showed victim one to have wounds around the neck that could imply a noose, but the actual marks are bigger." Officer reed continues. Officer Darling passes a stack of paper to the front row.

"The guy we are looking for." He says as the papers are being passed around. "The female is Mia Miller, and the male is Travis Luna still trying to identify but we think they are both part of a drug cartel."

Amelia puts her hand up "yes officer?" Officer Reed pauses to read her badge. "Officer Micheal, and are you here to tell us the man you are looking for has been spotted here?" She smiles

Officer Darling smirks "correct Officer Micheal, next time I will see if I can get you a gold sticker that you can have." He says sarcastically. Sargent Lee gives him a look. "Please keep your radios on Channel nine and I will keep you updated."

Officer Reed says as everybody stands up and leaves "Officer Micheal can I borrow you for a minute". Sargent Lee shouts. "Is there a problem sir?" Amelia approaches him.

"Do you and Officer Darling have any history I should know about." She looks at him confused "there is no previous history. We met when I was undercover, and he was the one who caught me and arrested me. Which he still has not apologised for." She looks at Eric who is holding onto the top of his vest, talking to his partner. "I read his report, and it does state that he found your weapon in the morning while you were in his words 'fast asleep in bed."
"Sir it is not what you think it is." Amelia tries to explain herself, but her Sargent walks closer and whispers in her ear

"what happens undercover stays undercover, just make sure James knows there was no feelings." She walks back "He does know." She gives him a fake smile.

"Officer Micheal you're driving with me." She turns around and Eric is staring at her. "Great." She stares back before walking to the armoury. "Keep an eye on her, she hasn't been herself for a few weeks." He says to Eric before walking away.

"Why did you want me to work with you." Amelia says looking at him. "Officer Micheal, I am not here to chit chat. I am here to get my job done than go home." He replies sternly. "Aye, Aye Captain." She gives him a look before putting her eyes back on the road.

A voice comes onto the radio "Our suspect is a part of a drug cartel labelled the "black lotus". The victims were in an opposite cartel "Imagine dragons." She picks up the radio. "Why were we not informed on these cartels this morning?" Amelia says staring at the road. "Officer Reed had to make sure she had the right information to pass onto our detectives." Sargent Lee says. She places the radio back down.

"I know you are here for one reason, but couldn't your department notify mine? Why did you travel here?" He looks at her before rolling her eyes. "You ask a lot of questions." She smiles. "I get that a lot now answer them." Eric sits up straight. "It gets boring being stuck in one station. Yes, you have a new experience every day on duty, but I haven't been on the street for a while."

Amelia drives past an alley but it gives her a weird feeling. A kind of sketchy one. Yes, all back alleys in New York are creepy and sketchy but that one really doesn't feel right.

"I'm going to turn back around." She states. Eric looks backwards. "Why did you see him." He asks, "No but that alley looked bad, I don't have a good feeling about it." She drives up to a car park and turns around.

She reaches the Alley and slows down. Inside she sees a pair of feet lying behind a trash can and a couple of garbage bags. "Could be a homeless person?" Eric asks. "Or it could be a body. She looks at him and pulls up. "Make sure your body cam is on." He says shutting the car door and turning on his cam. She does what he says and turns on hers.

They walk up the garbage. Amelia pulls out a pair of rubber gloves and places them on her hands. After she grabs her baton and whips it to make it longer.

"NYPD." She says to alert the man lying down. She turns to look at Eric and nods. He grabs his radio and lifts it up. "This is Officer Darling, possible a 10-54 please send back up units to my location." He places his radio back into his belt and pulls out his gun.

"NYPD." She says again. Using her baton, she moves a garbage bag out the way revealing a corpse. She bends down to check his pulse. "No pulse." She gets down to her knees and checks his pockets. She finds an ID. "Chris McDaniel." He reads from over her shoulder.

She looks down and sees a similar marks on his neck. "Officer Darling look." She uses her Pinky to show the marks on his neck. "Pull up the marks on our victims." He uses his phone and finds the images of the bodies. He puts his phone next to them and the marks match.

Sirens blare in the background. "They came fast." He turns around. "Yeah, because a murderer is in our streets.
