Gunshot

Reports are coming in again, shooting incidents really intensifies everything in you. You can feel your body heating up with anger and also with fear, ironic, right?

An agent afraid of gunshot sounds.

The HQ Director called you earlier to take over the incident from the local police force. You should be used with your teammates calling you "boss" other than "our real boss/the director of the force" because you are the boss of your team, a senior agent to be precise. You are used to being sent in every crime scene, it is just so annoying but with the fact that you are in the crime investigation department.

"Agent Jauregui, come with me. The others team up and use the other car.", you said with command in your voice.

"Boss, why'd you come with Agent Jauregui and not with one of us, 'ya know, boys?", Agent Cuevas said slightly questioning your decision.

"Agent Cuevas, if I needed some help for my own protection I wouldn't ask yours so go now with Agents Simpson and Jackson.", you ordered while looking at a smiling Agent Jauregui.

Everyone in your team walked out from the headquarters to the parking area.
You looked at Agent Jauregui still smiling when both of you entered the car.

"I guess you wanted to go behind the wheels, Jauregui."

"Really b-boss? You'd let me? Like drive?", she's cute when she's nervous as hell.

"Yes, I wanted you to drive.", you gave her a smirk as you throw her the car key.

"Of course, boss. I will, thanks.", she hopped on the driver's seat.

As Agent Jauregui sat down, it seems like she doesn't know how to drive because she kept on touching every damn button that she could see.

"Come on, Agent Jauregui. This isn't a jet plane.", you can't help but to laugh at her nervousness.

"Oh yeah, sorry sorry. Here we go.", she drove smoothly to the countryside.

When you reached the destination, the other agents in your team also appeared.

The local chief approached you, "Agent, I am glad your team is here. The HQ Director said you'd take over from here."

"Yes, we will. What do we have here?", you asked him as you walked to the body of the victim.

"We have here a black guy, died with two gunshots in his chest.", he stopped for a minute.

"Anddddd? What else do we have here?", you questioned him with a hint of annoyance.

"I-I don't really know much about it. Maybe this one is a thief or a burglar, 'ya know, he's black.", whispering the latter to you.

"Sir, you wanted us to take over something I wish you could give us more details about this not only the obvious ones or your little guesses and not because he's black you're going to accuse him of anything without concrete evidences. If only I could arrest you with false conclusions and racism, I would gladly do that.", you were so annoyed at his words but you should maintain professionalism at all times.

"Arrogant, aren't you?", he chuckled loudly.

"Boss, I got something!"

"What's up, Jackson?", you ran to Peter before you punched that one hella idiotic local chief in front of you.

"Boss, his body smells like gasoline, my guess he was supposed to be burned.", you knelt and you started to sniff the ground for some traces of gasoline.

"This is the best agents that the Director has to offer? Sniffing the ground like a dog?", the local police chief said which is kinda offensive but before you could answer, Agent Jauregui already spoke.

"Excuse me, Sir? But don't you dare talk to our boss like that, we are state agents. And if you don't mind, get out of here because this case is already on us. Don't you get what "turn over" meant?", you were holding your laughter because of Jauregui being a savage little bish.

"Okay, enough of that, where is Agent Cuevas?", you were looking for Bradley because he is the best agent in your team that can interrogate people.

"Here, boss."

"Please do me a favor and send the local police chief back to his station, if he doesn't want to bring him to the headquarters and list him in for interrogation."

"You sure about that, boss?"

"Do I look like I am in doubt, Agent Cuevas?"

"Nope."

"Jackson, get some help from the forensics and investigate on the body. Simpson, look for witnesses around ask them for some statements and gather evidences. After that, immediately proceed back to the headquarters. Jauregui and I will be back to the HQ now."

"Copy, boss.", they all answered in unison.

"Would you like me to drive again, boss?"

"Yes. Seems like you are enjoying it, huh?"

"Haha well, I am."

You buckled up then Agent Jauregui started to drive. You are enjoying the nature very much so you opened the car window and let the woody scent of the wind entered the car. Little did you know, you drifted off to sleep when you both heard gunshots from behind the car.

"What the hell was that?", you asked in confusion as you pulled out your gun.

Jauregui continued driving in her normal phase and you stuck your head outside the window just to see what or who was behind you. A blonde lady in red riding a black motorcycle, she was shooting from behind.

"Down now!", you shouted when the lady sped up as if she was trying to outrun you.

You trembled in fear and almost cried but you are with a co-worker so you got your shit up and said, "Go after her, Jauregui."

"Copy that."

You looked at Agent Jauregui checking if she's hurt and you saw the usual deep furrow that forms in her brow whenever she is either angry or focused.

"Are you okay?", you asked.

"I am, don't worry, boss.", she replied with seriousness.

You noticed how fast you two are going, the sharp turns that she's making while you are chasing that lady in red.

"Hey, hey, slow down. We are going too fast, we could be killed in a crash! Agent Jauregui!", you yelled at her kinda afraid for your life.

"Boss, do you trust me?"

"Y-yes, I do trust you."

"Then calm down. I got this." You closed your eyes in fear as you heard the car engine roaring.

"Boss, get ready."

Agent Jauregui drove in another way and you can see the motorcycle lady on the other side. You are ahead of the shooter now and Jauregui is trying to meet her at the intersection. Lauren turned the car to the right and stopped at some point, you heard a loud crash.

You got out of the car first with a gun in your hand, Agent Jauregui coming out next to you.

As you got nearer to the lady in red lying on the road, she was motionless so you put your gun back and you were trying to reach her neck checking for her pulse when she pointed a revolver at you.

You raised your hands as high as you could and tried to talk to her, "Ma'am, put your gun down now. This is not the way for you to settle this. What's your name?"

You heard her revolver clicked and you closed your eyes waiting for your time then you heard another gunshot hoping it wasn't you being shot. You heard the lady screamed in pain.

"AaAaaaAaaahHHHhhHhhhHH who the fuck are ya'?"

"Agent Jauregui and that is my boss you are trying to shoot." Jauregui managed to shoot the victim's gun hand in just a flick.

You handcuffed the lady and you said, "You are under arrest for attacking state agents and for threatening our lives. Who are you for the record?"

"I ain't tellin' ya' anythin'."

You called Agent Cuevas for an assistance back to the HQ.
