The Code

Chapter 1: The Crime Scene
Calleigh sat in the lounge sipping on her morning coffee when she got a call for a crime scene. He watched her as she drove off; slowly he turned into the flow of traffic and followed her as he always did, as he had for the past six months. But this run was special, this was to let her know he was back but would she understand in time?
"What do we have Alexx?" Calleigh chirped.
"A mess, you've been through hell haven't you honey." Alexx soothing said to the dead man. "He was tortured, and the official COD is a gunshot to the back of the head. Executed."
"Hey isn't this Patrick O' Neil?" Calleigh asked as she snapped pictures of the victim.
"It is," Ryan stated as he came up beside her.
"You knew him?" Calleigh asked as she stood up.
"I did, just in passing though, he testified last month against his patrol partner for killing a suspect then planting a gun on him to make it look like a good shoot."
Calleigh looked around and noticed something on the door, "what do we have here?" she stated as she walked over and shut the door.
There on the door written in blood was a phrase that most cops take seriously THE CODE.
"Revenge for testifying against his partner?" Ryan asked.
"That's what I'm thinking."
He watched for two hours as the police coming and going, residents gawking and gossiping. She hadn't caught on, she hadn't gotten the message. Not that it bothered him; meant that when he got her he could see the look on her face, watch as she remembered putting him behind bars with criminals. She had taken his life, had stripped him of his future, she had ruined him. Now it was his turn only this time he would have her begging for death.
