Chapter 1

SRU Headquarters

I was running late….and into things. I had overslept due to forgetting to set me alarm. I rushed to get dressed and get to work out. I would’ve made it but someone decided to run into a power pole on my street so I got held up.

“Sorry I’m late Boss. I forgot to set my alarm, then there was an accident on my…”  My explanation cut off by me walking right into the doorway to the workout room.

Jules and Spike ran over to me while everyone else burst out laughing. I had to admit it was pretty funny but I had to guilt them for laughing.

“Really guys? I could have a concussion right now.” I said as Spike helped me up.

“Well T. If you think that you have a concussion, you should take the day off. We can’t have a sniper who has a head injury.” Greg said, knowing exactly what I was up to.

“Could have, Boss. Could have. That doesn’t mean for sure. I’m fine.” After having to take 6 months off for breaking my arm a while back I was sick of taking sick days.

After things calmed down a bit and I hopped on the treadmill the Commander popped his head in. “I know you guys had a drill with Team 5 today, but it’s canceled.”

“What? Why?” Sam and I asked at the same time.

“Officer Price is taking time off.”

“Days off on drill days are rare but if they do happen it doesn’t affect them. What makes this different?” Ed asked.

“Price’s kids were killed last night. He needs time off, and his team is in shock as well. If they can’t perform at their best it won’t be beneficial for you or them.”

“If they can’t ‘perform their best’ then are they going on calls today?” I asked.

“They are only here for backup if needed.”

We nodded. He nodded and left. I started turning things over in my head. That’s the third instance of a law enforcement officer’s children being killed around here. I did some looking and I think I’ve spotted a pattern. Before I could continue in my thoughts someone was snapping their fingers on my face.

“Woah. How long was I out?” I asked the culprit. Today it was Wordy.

“Five minutes.” He replied. “Come on. Boss said that since there’s no drill we’re doing paperwork after we change.”

I groaned but followed him anyway. I didn’t have time to focus the rest of shift but when I got home I planned on doing some serious digging.
