Prologue
Sonja Percy almost didn't answer the call. She was still suffering from jet lag from another overseas assignment. She knew it wasn't the office and she had just spoken with her mother and sister the day before. She decided she would go look and see who it was and decide then. Loretta Wade? Oh no she thought. This cannot be good.
"Hello Loretta."
"Hello Sonja."
"This is bad news isn't it" she said recalling the last late night call from New Orleans that disclosed that Dwayne Pride had been shot.
"Yes, I'm sorry Sonja it is. Chris LaSalle was shot a couple of hours ago. It's not looking good. I'm not sure what you are doing but I knew you would want to know and honestly Sonja, I think Tammy and Chris both need you."
