Kevin Atwater has been shot and lies critically wounded in Chicago
Gaffney's ICU. One of their own has been targeted and Intelligence receives authorization to treat the case as a RED BALL: a high priority case
"Damn!" said 'Otis' Zvonack. "I hate these types of calls."
"Me too" chimes Christopher Hermann. "The cops have protected us over and over and over. Most of 'em are good people."
" Except for those who AREN'T," mutters Joe Cruz.
No one had a response to THAT...

The EMTS of ambulance 81 stands by until patrol officers determine the scene 'secured' as ordered before entering; they find an unconscious black male sprawled on the pavement of the alley, bleeding with a smoking 9mm pistol near his hand- he's obviously the police officer reported by dispatch, as evidenced by the gold shield on his belt.
"I count two GSWS: one in the left upper chest, the second...lower right back..." reports Paramedic Violet Mikami.
Her partner, Gina Mackey states "WHOA-BP just plummeted! Starting compressions, better get the defibrillator ready!"
"I'm injecting 1MG of epi!" says Violet.
"OK, holding compressions...can you help us get him onto the board, Otis?
"Fuck me!" Brian 'Otis' Zvonecek (from Truck 81) grunts while shifting the patient's upper body onto the body board. "This is KEVIN ATWATER! He's an Intelligence detective in the 21st."

THE FOLLOWING DAY-INTELLIGENCE UNIT
"OK...Superintendent Miller authorized a red ball-full court press on all of Doyle's associates, both PD and criminal. Adam, Kim: get into the Chief Of Patrol for these assholes...MYERSON. There have been whispers about him for years. Hailey and Jay; I want surveillance on those from patrol we identify as bent. Vanessa and Torres, you're on desk. I'm briefing the group Miller loaned us."
