Chapter 6

Jack's pov
I went straight to my new apartment, the thoughts that bothered me in the diner slowly disappeared, I am such a coward, why didn't I approach her?
Because you don't have the right, remember you are a police officer, you need to follow the law.
Yeah right, the law was full of dark corners, I was just startled that's all.

My boss got me a flat two blocks from the station, it was cosy and spacious, I wasn't pretentious. My door unlocked and threw my keys on the counter, now what? I looked at the pile of papers on the coffee table.
Sighing I approached the papers, so work? Maybe there is something here that these guys missed.

I took a beer from the fridge, well looks like the guys gave me a present, stashing my fridge with beer. Nice I'm starting to like New York.
A couple of hours passed and I finally managed to go through all there was abut this case, believe me, most of it were speculations...

I took a warm shower, how old was she? She looked pretty young 25? God Dammit, how could a woman run the mafia world at 25? I need to find more about this.
After I finished my shower I dressed in a black t-shirt and black pants and decided to take a walk, it was night already.

I kept thinking about the possibilities when my phone rang, "Look partner, I don't have much time to explain, where are you, we got a lead from someone that Sasha's men are having an exchange tonight We should be there. Where should I pick you up from?" McCoy was a bit tense, hah the old man was going to have a heart attack at this point.

"Yo, partner calm down, I'm two blocks away from work, I'll be there in 10. Make me a coffee." I started to laugh and hung up the phone.
First night of action, wooohoo.

Detective McCoy's pov

Did that son of a bitch just asked me to make him a coffee, I'm starting to lose my patience with this boy.

I will have a talk with him after the exchange. Let's see if he can take it.

I was at the car when he got to the station" You should work out more, it's been 15 minutes. Get in!" We both entered the car.

He started to chuckle, " Do you have the equipment we need?" He was such a smart mouth...
"Yes, on the back seat, get ready, we will be arriving in 20 minutes." I touched my right part to check on my gun and then started the engine.

We were both quiet until we reached the deposits. There were two other police cars situated behind the building. 10 Police officers should be able to handle this kind of things.

Sasha's men had to retrieve a cargo from a Russian, and pay good money for it. We didn't know what the cargo was so we had to catch them both.

The men approached a red van parked at the edge of the parking lot. They had a suitcase with them.

They started to talk and progressively shout to each other, the exchange was not going ok. In a couple of seconds the back of the van opened and 4 people started to shoot at Sasha's men, that's when we got in.

"Police, lower your weapons!" But none of them did that one of Sasha's men was dead while we managed to shoot 3 people, the driver took off with the van and due to the panic he drove in one of the narrow streets and hit in full force one of the building's wall.

The car exploded and the driver was dead. I saw Jack going in pursuit of the guy with the money.

"Jack, don't!" I knew he will be retreating to the red painted neighborhood , it was a trap and the kid went straight to it.

Jack's pov

I ran to catch Sasha's second guy who retreated with the money, he managed to escape through the police officers and I was on pursuit, what I didn't know is that he had already set foot in the red painted neighborhood, and I had no jurisdiction there.

I drew my gun and in a second I heard a shot. The bullet entered my upper arm, I didn't even know where it came from? The roof? I backed out into a corner behind a garbage bin.

Fuck it hurt like shit. I ripped a part of my shirt and tried to cover the wound as much as I could. I tried to look up but I couldn't see any movement.
Snipers? Really? This neighborhood had snipers?

I didn't even notice that the guy I was chasing was long gone, great job Jack. Now what are you going to do?

I tried to find my phone but it seemed I lost it, great!

I knew the sniper was waiting for my new move, he was hunting me. Fuck my had was bleeding hard.

"I don't want any trouble, I just want the guy who ran away. Nothing else."
I was speaking to nothingness. This was so fucked up.

"No officers allowed, this is the red painted neighborhood!" The voice echoed through the streets. Where was he situated?

I had to run for it, and so I did, the sniper started shooting at me I could feel one of the bullets lightly scraping my cheek, damn this street was long. My feet started to slowly collapse, I looked behind me and I hit something with my full body.

I collapsed on the floor, my head dizzy and my eyes blurry, what did I hit?

I looked in front of me ... a pair of green eyes, pale blonde hair. No..it couldn't! I passed out right after I saw her bending down to me.

This was my end, this beautiful woman will take my life.
