I had a rough time sleeping that night.I know it was a cliche but really.I had let 4 men get away.I was also nervous about going to work the next day.
"What would I tell Grant,What would he say to me?Would someone else take the case?"Those words continued echoing in my mind.I think I went to sleep around 3:45 am.I awoke to the loud ringing of my alarm clock.I slammed it so it turned off.I swung my legs out of bed and started walking to the kitchen.I'm a simple man,I ate some cereal.I got in a navy blue 3 piece suit and started driving to the station.My hands were getting sweaty as I got closer to the station.My knuckles white when gripping the leather wheel cover.I blanked out for a moment once I parked.I got out and made my nervous strut toward the door.I stepped into the station and I didnt see grant.I checked my watch and I was on time.Once I walked into the briefing room and got settled I saw Grant walk in.He briefed the others and I heard no mention of me or my case which made me a slightly suspicious but after he had briefed everyone else he said
"Finn I want you in my office."I was mentally preparing myself for the lecture that was about to occur.I was about to enter when Grant told Ralph to wait outside and that "This was on me,"which only made me more nervous. "Look you've let 4 men get away and you've only had this case for one day,"Grant said with disappointment.I just nodded as if I didn't approve either which I didn't. "But,"he started "You did apprehend the man in charge of the chop shop so we can question him.''I looked up slightly confused that he was saying something positive. "He's downstairs if you want to question him now."Grant told me.I just nodded and made my way out.I strolled past Ralph silently but I was walking with determination.I paused in front of the questioning room door,then opened and walked in.
"Hello," I said assertively.
"Hey maile,"he responded.
"Who was in that car with you yesterday?"
"3"He responded defiantly.
"Give me a name,"I demanded, slightly more angered.
He just gave me a look as if he were saying "Speak one more word and I'll break your nose."However I wouldn't fall for his intimidation tactics because he was chained to a desk,but I wasn't completely relaxed either though.
"Ray Moreno."
"Is that you?"I saw through him.He looked angry.I stared at him with a raised eyebrow.My mind went blank as to what I should ask him.
"Look maile I'm not cracking,end of story,"Ray told me.
"Fine."I walked out of the questioning room confidently.I walked down the hallway and out the front door.
"Ralph,"I started, "We're turning the chop shop upside down."I knew that the normal officers had instructions not to search but to simply guard.I walked to the vehicle and grabbed the handle.The door shut and I put my foot on the gas.
