Chapter 28

Janet and I have been in the precinct since last night, and right now it's 2 am. I'm just lucky that I don't have classes today, otherwise, I'd be falling asleep right about now. Janet, on the other hand, was working on pure adrenaline, anxiety, anger, caffeine, and worry. She and half of everyone else in the room was rushing around, working on coffee and everything else. I was falling asleep at Janet's desk in her chair.

"Alright...if we thought this through correctly, maybe we'll find captain before time is up," Janet said as she was standing in the center of a whole group of suited up in bullet proof vest, and heavy duty weaponry.

"Based on the area points of our previous victims, and details from our only surviving victim, we believe that he is taking his victims here," she circled an area on a map in the center of 7 red dots and then pointed to a photo of a run down building.

"The old bread factory smack dab in the center of all the crime scenes," she said.

"Alright people. We've got 4 hours before that jackass makes that call, so lets get moving!" she said and like that, they all made their way out the door and to whatever kind of armored cars they usually used in a situation like this.

"Baby....what do you need me to do?"

"I'll have someone take you home so you can sleep,"

"But-"

"No. it's too dangerous for a civilian to go, especially since the civilian is you ok?" she kissed my head and rushed out of the building after she assigned Officer Thomas to bring me home. Once there, I went to bed, before praying everything would work out ok with Captain.

Everyone was on their toes as we reached the area. I got out and pulled my gun. My vest was tight around my body, but I kept it moving.

"Alright everyone. Surround any exits of the building make sue no one enters or exits the area until all are questioned. Find Captain first and get him out of here to a hospital before we lose him. Let's Go! Squad 2 lets go!" I say as the men and women followed me through the main doors of the old building.

As we entered, the floors below us creaked and groaned. The 6 story building was dusty and old, cob webs caking the corners and walls. I cleared the open area and went up to the second floor. making sue my gun lead the way up and around the area. There was old machinery on this floor, we checked every corner and found it was clear. We reached the third floor, and it was a horrid sight. The smell itself turned my stomach. The dried blood on the floor was a tall tail sign something or someone died here.

We checked everywhere. I checked one last area...it was metal door, locked up by a padlock. The guys cut the lock with bolt cutters and I opened the door....my mind flashed back to my night with Shaun in that building while it rained. The feeling of...losing. There captain lied....blood drenched his shirt, that was now dirty from the dust. he was cut up from the head down and his hand were now red from the blood flow cut off from his wrist by the tight electrical tape. He was breathing shallowly and his skin pale. He looked at me, not an emotion in his face.

"Call a bus!" I yelled. I sat with Him, and pulled him to me. He looked at me, not a word coming out of his mouth.

"You'll be alright Cap,"

"If you say so," he said as he sighed. I knew it was already to late for him. I knew it because it's what always happens to me when someone I care about is in a life or death situation. I knew it because he already lost too much blood. I knew it, because I could feel it in him.

"Don't give up yet....please don't,"

"I'll try Janet....but I can't promise anything," he said in a raspy voice. I knew when he called me by my first name, he truly meant it, so it made my heart beat go easy a little bit. The paramedics got up to our level and got him on a stretcher and oxygen, before bringing him back down to the ambulance. A crowd had formed full of neighborhood people and reporters for both the news and magazines. The area was blocked off by yellow police tape.
