Griffin

"Unit 17, we have gunshots fired at the corner of Young and Chesney." The scratchy voice came over the scanner.

"Copy that." I said and put the car in gear. I drive down the streets until I come to the corner, A run down house has lights on and I could hear yelling. The house reminded me of where I used to live with Cody. I parked the car and glanced at the photo I had on my dash. Kylie was smiling, her hands resting on our two kids shoulders, Jason and Rebecca. Kasey was old and lying at the kids feet. A lump came to my throat. Kasey had died just over a year ago, two months after this picture was taken. I rubbed the picture with my thumb before opening the door and stepping out. I jogged over to the run down house playing with the ring on my left hand. It always calmed me and made me feel like Kylie was here with me.

I knocked on the door, "Police! Open up!" No answer. I was ready to kick the door down when the window to my right smashed and someone stumbled out and ran onto the street. I pulled out my gun and chased them.

"Freeze!" The person stopped. It was a guy, around six feet, he had on dirty tattered clothes, it was too dark to see much else. He turned around slowly with his hands in the air and his face twisted into a deranged smile when he saw me. My heart was racing, I knew this man, I had been trying to catch him ever since he escaped prison.

"Chris." The named seemed loud against the silence of the night.

"Well, well, well. If it isn't little Griffin. Joined the pigs now? Good for you, no really. It's good that your with your own people now." Chris cackled.

"Get on the ground Chris, put your hands on your head." I said firmly

"Boo hoo, you're no fun!" Chris slowly moved his hands to his head. Suddenly he pulled a gun out of his waist band and pointed it at me. I barely saw the barrel of the gun before thunder erupted around me and everything went black.

Kylie

"Mommy! Mommy! Jason took my doll again!" Rebecca's voice whined as she appeared in the doorway to the kitchen. I sighed and set the last plate in the drying rack and wiped my hands on a towel before following Becca to the living room. Jason sat on the couch, Becca's doll wedged under his leg.

"Jason." I said a hint of pleading in my voice. He looked up from his video game.

"What?" His preteen attitude leaking out in his voice. I walked over and sat beside him.

"I need you to promise me something." I said looking him straight in his eyes. "I need you to watch over Becca. At school, when she goes out with friends, and when she's older. I need you to be her best friend, let her trust you, keep her out of trouble. And for God's sake warn her if you think that on of her friends or boyfriends inst a good person. Do you promise me that?" I tucked a loose curl of hair behind his ear. He nodded and hugged me, I hugged him back and kissed the top of his forehead.

"Okay. Thank you." I kissed his cheek then stood up returning to the kitchen to finish cleaning up. I paused at the doorway and looked over my shoulder. Jason was sitting on the carpet beside Becca, playing with one of her dolls as she giggled and laughed. I smiled, hearing the phone ring I walked over to it and picked it up.
