They told us to shut off our computer and our phones, that they would let us know when we could turn them back on and that when we turn the devices that we would have to put them on airplane mode. 

  Charles Point Of View                                                                                                                                                                    I woke up and went downstairs to get a cup of coffee so I could sit on the front porch, I got my cup of coffee and there was flower on our step for my loss. I sat down wondering what Heather was doing, I hate that it came down with her have to pretend that she had died because someone wanted their secret to stay hidden. I sent a quick text to Zack to see if heard anything from William and he said no. I went in and got change into clothes so I could head into town to get supplies that I needed to build Heather a bird house that she been wanting to build. I have a couples week off of work so I figure that I would build the build house while she was gone. I got to the local Lowes to get the woods and other supplies that I needed to get. I was loading the supplies into the car when Max and Lucy came up to me and asked how I was, I knew Lucy didn't tell Max that Heather was alive, I told them I was doing ok just keeping busy and that I was going to be building a bird house and Max and Lucy said they would be over to help me and I told them that they didn't have to and they said that they wanted to help out and I told them I would make lunch for everyone and they said ok. I stop at the grocery store to get stuff for lasagna if I know Max and Lucy, they going to have quite a bit of people come over to help with the bird house. I also decide to pick up some salad and cookie tray to go with the meal, I paid and went back to the house and unload the car. I got into the house and got the three lasagna and got the salads made and I decide to set the picnic table for when we do eat lunch. I got all of the tools for the bird house and put them in the front yard. I went into the house and got change into work clothes and went back out when Zack, Lucy and other people from the police department pull in. Lucy said that there were more people coming and helping out to get thing done, they also said they bought a meat tray with four different pies for lunch, I told them they could put it on the table that I set up for the food. I saw that a couple of new reporters pull up and ask if they could help and I said yes, they put the food on the table, and I show them the plan on what I wanting to build and they give ideas that I knew that Heather would like and as we were getting started William pull in and asked if he could help and I said yes and we got to work I asked Lucy if she could check the lasagna and she said yes. We just got done and I pulled William aside and asked if they were planning on doing a memorial and he said yes that it was going to happen on Monday, and I said ok and I help Lucy with putting the rest of the food on the table. I thank everyone for coming out to help me build the four-bird house and that Heather would love the build house that they help with. I told them to go and head a grab some lunch and that I would be right back. I went up to our room and got change and sat on the bed for a minute to collect my thoughts before going back outside. I went back out and grab a plate of food and sat down next to Max, Lucy and William and we talk among ourselves when Joey car pull in, I got up and couples off officers got up and stood beside me in case he tried something. I noticed that a couple of them had the weapon draw in case they need to. " Charles I'm not here to harm you there something I need to talk to William and you about," ok come into my office," ok." I asked Max and Lucy and a couple of other officers to join us. " Joey what do you need, you have no reason to be here," I know but you will want to hear what I've to say," ok go ahead and say what you have to say," Lexi hired a hit man to kill Heather," we know that she hired someone to kill Heather," how do you know that," we have the two hit man in custody right now," ok Lexi know that you have them in custody right now, and she know that Heather isn't dead," how do you guys know this," you have a corrupt cop in your department," there was only William, Lucy and I in that office and they are not mole neither I'm, so how do you know this information," someone was listening at the door," ok do you know their name, and do you know where Heather is," his name is Andrew Young and no they don't know where she is located," I hate to tell you this Heather is dead she not alive and you can leave but be on noticed you will be call in to make a statement," ok." Max walked Charlie out and William called out for him to come back into the office and he said he would be right back. We all know that Max would have question for us about what was really going on. Max came back in and sat next to Lucy and we were quit for a second before he spoke to us." William what is really going on," Heather is in FBI witness protection right now," so she is alive," yes but we can't let anyone know," ok but three people know that she is alive or think that she is," I know that why we are going to release a statement in the morning," ok, what about Andrew ," we are going to set a trap for him tonight," ok can I help," yes we were hoping that you were going to wanted to help us caught him," he trying to get an officer killed, isn't right, do we know if Andrew is related by chance," no he not related to Lexi," ok then what is his tie to Lexi and Joey then," that what we will find out tonight," ok so what is the plan," we are going to have you go to Andrew and say you know where Heather is and that you need back up to confront her," ok what happen if he doesn't fall for the trap," then you say something that will make him want to go with you," ok we should head back outside." We went back outside and finish eating, and I thank everyone for coming out to help me and I told them to take any food that they wanted to and everyone help me clean up.  I got the dishes done and went up and got ready for tonight. I got dress in our uniform and William text said that he was here to pick me up and I text that I would be down. I grab everything I would need for tonight and we left for the abandon warehouse, I asked William how many officers that would be there, William said that we would have Lucy, Athena, Tim, Annette, Bobby, and Jim would be there us. We got to the abandoned warehouse we park in the second building, and we meet in the first building, we got a text from Max saying that they would be there in ten minutes. They all got in their position so they didn't have to rush, Lucy was tied to a chair had a wig on so Andrew didn't think anything was wrong. Lucy could get out of the chair if needed to, we heard the car pull up, William told us to put our body camera on so the DA and the defense team could see what was going on. They enter the building. We waiting until Andrew went up to Lucy and he fell to the ground and went to go after Max, so we got out of our position and told him to surrender so we didn't have to shoot him, and he tried to run so I tased him and he drop to the ground we got him into William car and headed back to the station. We got back to the police department and William told Max and Lucy to take Andrew to an interrogation room and they would be in a couples of minutes. " Charles are you ok," yes just wondering how many corrupt cops we have in our department," I know but let worried about one thing at a time," I guess, let get in there." Lucy said that Andrew was cuff to the table, Lucy told us that she was going to get back on patrol and if we need her to call and she would be back, and we said ok. William said that Max would be in the room with me and that he would be on the other side and I said ok. I got into the room and I sat down next to Max, I decide that I would let Max take the lead on asking Andrew questions. " Andrew why would you betray the police department and your badge," I didn't have much of choice to," what do you mean," if I didn't tell her the information, she wanted to know she would've left me," so she your girlfriend," yes hopefully she will accept my proposal," why would you want to marry someone who is criminal," she special and everyone deserve love," that may be true but I can guarantee that she is just using you, how long have you been together for," I been with her for over two years now," and this relationship was worth going to prison and losing your job for," yes," what is your girlfriend name,"  I am not going to give you her name, I want a lawyer." I know we had to stop questioning him now. Max told me that he would take Andrew to a holding cell until they can transport him to the local prison, I asked William what time I needed to be here in the morning, and he told me I needed to be here by ten. I told him that if he found any information to let me know and I told him I would see him in the morning, he told me to wait that he had a letter for me. I thank him and then head home for the night still wondering who Andrew was seeing that made him betray his badge. I park and head into the house for the night I put my gun on the stand and sat down so I could open the letter to see who it was from.
