"Ms. Prince.. again." The receptionist handed the woman the flowers, it was such a habit now that she just grabbed them, muttered good morning and continued on her way.

She sent Lindsey a good morning text in the stairwell before making her way up, her day feeling repetitive as she did so. "Good morning Ms. Prince.."

"Morning." She replied back, making her way into the meeting room with the flowers in hand. "Is every Monday national flower day or something?"

"For her it is." A few people chuckle at the reply, Tiana not paying them any mind as she took her seat and got her paperwork out of her bag, sitting the flowers inside gently.

"What's today's agenda?" One of her coworkers asked, she glanced up from her actions and looked at the board, seeing the words " SOCIAL MEDIA "

"Oh brother.. this should be a fun one."

Lindsey sat in the passenger seat of her partner, Carl's car, not saying anything since she loading her gun in case she needed it. "We're here." He informed, Linds glanced up to see them pulling up in front of a beat up apartment complex, she hummed while sliding the clip inside before cocking the gun back.

Unbuckling her seatbelt, she got out and closed the door before straightening her blazer and sliding the gun into her holster, she then made her way toward the door of the complex, watching as a group of guys stared them down.

Linds made her way past them, Carl following behind as they went up to a notorious apartment door. There had been numerous raids and warrants for this specific place, the neighborhood being a hot bed for murderers and drug dealers. Linds took the warrant papers out the inside pocket of her blazer right when they approached the door, she knocked 3 times before stepping back, waiting for a reply.

"You cool?" Carl asked, she hummed and continued to wait for an answer but ended up getting no one. So she knocked harder and louder with a now frowned face, a few seconds later someone came to the door.

"Hi, I'm detective Cruz, this is my partner Detective—." Before she could finish, the door attempted to shut but she put her foot in the doorway. "We have a warrant here, as you can see.."

"Yo', you think I give a fuck about a warrant?"

"You should, it gives us the right to search your property—."

"—watch out." A man stepped into view, it was of course the man they were looking for. Mr. Quintell Porter. Wanted and suspected for the murder of Chester Lewis. "Mr. Porter, you've—."

"—I know." He said, about to close the door but Linds kicked it back open, noticing the man reach for his hip. Carl instantly shoved her out of the way and was slow to pull his gun from the holster, the first shot rang out and hit Carl's shoulder so Linds acted fast, sprinting past, knocking him down and out of the way.

She quickly pulled her gun from her hip and began firing it at the man, hitting him twice in his lower stomach, he stumbled back and shot once more, the bullet barely made it past her. She tried her best at avoiding it, getting grazed in her shoulder which made her grimace in acknowledgment but her adrenaline was far too high to focus on it. She quickly stood up and dragged Carl into the corner.
