OC Character Introductions
Sgt. Kelvin Lane
Aside from being the team's Sergeant and leader, he is a crisis negotiator. As such, he prefers that situations be resolved through dialogue instead of lethal force. He learned the art of negotiation when he was able to survive a hard life under his strict father. He is divorced from his wife and became estranged from his only son, Dean, because he spent too much time with the SRU years ago and he had a drinking problem. Kelvin cares not only for his team, but for the lives of the innocents and those subjects who are about to make a mistake that will ruin an otherwise good life. He often puts the blame for a failed attempt to save a life solely on himself, something James often reminds him of.
James Parker
The veteran of the Strategic Response Unit team, he is the team's tactical leader in the field. He has been trained to use lethal force, and is constantly troubled with it. He sometimes needs to use it to save the lives of others and has some problems with his wife of fifteen years, Sophie, and son Clark due to the nature of his job, and the fact that he is strongly attached to his SRU colleagues. For example, he once deliberately missed the anniversary of his in-laws for work. he also has a daughter Isabelle who is 5 months old.
Carlos Scarlatti
Serving on the team as a less-lethal weapons operator, trying to help others due to his former gangster life before he decided to reform and join the police. Carlos knowledge on street gangs was helpful to the SRU team.

Salty is on the team as a demolitions and tactical tech expert, trying to learn from the older SRU veterans while at the same time working to be a successful SRU operator. He is usually in charge of hi-tech intel from the van and he operates an anti-explosives robot who he calls 'Babycakes'. He is a constantly happy and optimistic young man who is always willing to help others and is deeply touched by his job. He lives with his Mother and Father and is quite pleased to be incredibly in touch with his Italian heritage and speaks the language fluently.
Jayden Young
A former Master Sergeant and ex-special forces operative of the US Army Green Berets He joined the SRU unit, replacing the promoted Roland 'Rolie' Cray, after he was involved in Afghan combat operations. Due to his experience in Afghanistan, Jayden believed that lethal force was the solution instead of using negotiation to resolve situations.
Wesley "Wes" Callaghan
The other married operator in the SRU along with James, Wes is the team's entry tactics and Close Quarters Battle expert and less-lethal weapons specialist aside from Carlos. He's also often in charge of acquiring visual inside the area of the operations through several type of surveillance gadgets.

His wife, Shelley, was once in an abusive marriage, and he is very protective of her and strongly against domestic violence.
Episode 1: High School Emergency
Location: ReefSide high school
Time: 7:30 AM
It was the third week of school at Reefside High, the School was full with about 3000 teenagers, 150 teachers, ten administrators, and ten security guards. The late bell had just rung and all the kids were in class, well almost all of them. Others were scrambling the hallways dodging the hall monitors and teachers to avoid being sent to the principle's office for being late.
So in Dr. Oliver's classroom, Tommy was getting his senior class to settle down. Once they were settled Tommy began teaching his lesson for AP Chemistry. Everything was peaceful when all of a sudden a young boy, about 5'11' in height, with glasses burst through the door of the classroom, surprising everyone, as they hadn't seen him in class before.
"Dean, let me see your schedule" Tommy said, extending a hand.
"Oh, that won't be necessary Dr. Oliver" Dean replied menacingly, as he pulled 9mm pistol from the back pocket of his jeans.
"BOOM!BOOM!"
Loud shots rang out through the school, and the class bully fell to the ground, blood spilling from his forehead. The students in the class quickly dropped to the ground and crawled under the chemistry tables, fearing for their lives. As the boy fled from the classroom, Dr. Oliver called security. As the panicked seniors breathed sighs of relief, the voice of their Principal Cranston spoke through the speakers.
"Students and faculty of Reefside High, may I please have your attention!" With a pause, static crackled through and several background voices could be heard. "This is Principal Cranston." She continued," We are currently under Code Red Lock-down! Please follow all Code Red procedures, security will be here shortly. Thank you."
With that Tommy sprang into action (having years of Power Ranger training helped), as he quickly quieted the students, shut off the lights and locked the doors before rushing to the class bully's side.
Reefside Police : Strategic Response Unit HQ
Time: 7:59 AM
The seven members of SRU SWAT Team 1 were in the briefing room. A discussion involving procedures during a high school shoot out had been brought up and they had broken into an argument of whether to face it be lethal force or negotiation.
"BEEP!BEEP!BEEP! Team 1, Hot Call! Shots fired at Reefside High School, gear up and move out!"
"Alright team, gear up! You know the drill!" Sgt. Kelvin Lane commanded, as the team began arming themselves.
'Oh no! That's the school where Trini serves as principal! Hopefully, she won't notice me!' Kimberly thought worriedly as she suited up. 'And maybe Dr. Oliver isn't Tommy?'
With that, the team quickly boarded their black SUVs, turned on their sirens and sped to Reefside High.
Location: Reefside High School Front Office
Time: 8:13 AM
The seven members of the SRU SWAT Team 1 entered the front office and established a command post. Once the command post had been set up, Officer Carlos opened his laptop.
"This is Officer Carlos Scarlatti. 8:13 AM, SRU arrives on scene" Officer Scarlatti said to the computer for the transcripts
"Jayden and Wes, secure floor 1 and user loitering students in the hallways to safety." Srt. Lane ordered, the said people nodded affirmatively before running to their post. "Salty and Carlos, stay in the front office gathering Intel. James and Kimberly, visit the crime scene Room 211 and talk to the witnesses. See if you can find a description on the subject. We'll send in EMTS to check the victim. All clear!"
"Yes Serge" The others shouted in unison.
"Move out!" They nodded and ran to their posts.
"10-4" replied Kimberly
As everyone left to their duties, Kelvin talked with Principal Trini Cranston for more Intel.
Location: Room 211
Time: 8:20 AM
While Kim and James guarded the doors outside the crime scene, Tommy was inside trying to keep his class quiet.
"This is Cassidy Cornell with the top news of this week. Recently, Dean Giambi , that senior nerd who got picked on, pulled a gun in this classroom." Cassidy whispered and motioned Devin to follow her as they crawled over to the victim. "What do you have to say?" She pointed the microphone to the bully, now recognized as David Earnhardt. Blood had pooled on the floor surrounding him, and was now smothered all over Cassidy's pink skirt and hands.
"Cassidy, shut up! The gunman can be outside this classroom waiting to come in" Kira Ford whisper yelled, fear lacing her words. She was huddled underneath a desk that was three desks behind Cassidy with none other than Trent Fernandez.
"Everyone please be quiet! We need to keep calm, this is a serous situation and it isn't a time for your news report, Cassidy!" Dr. Oliver whisper yelled. "Now Cassidy, move away from the body, we don't-" Dr. Oliver started, but was suddenly interrupted as the door was kicked down.
"This is the Police Strategic Response Unit! Is everyone okay?" The officers in clad black SWAT uniform shouted.
"I am officer Kimberly Hart and this is officer James Parker. We are here to help, now please come out from underneath the desk and line up against the back wall." Kimberly ordered as James began ushering the students. "James will talk to each one of you on your account of this situation, don't be afraid to say anything. We need all the help we can have." Kim then strode over to the body, knelt down and felt for the pulse.
Checking for any other damage, she found bullet wounds hitting the brain stem and the victim's neck
'Whoever shot this must either be a good shot or he was just lucky. Hopefully there won't be any more dead bodies.' Kimberly thought, as she stood from checking the victim and surveyed the class for the teacher.
"Bullet wounds on the victim are found at the brain stem and around the neck and there is no pulse" Kimberly spoke into her radio. She walked over to James and he pointed to the man standing with a group of teenagers dressed in colors red, yellow, blue and white.
"Sir, are you the teacher here?" She tapped on his shoulder and asked.
"Yes, I am" He responded gruffly. "Dr. Tommy Oliver." He said extending a hand. She grasped it firmly and shook.
"Kimberly Hart, I need an adult's point of view on this." She said, and pointed to the side. "Please follow me." Kim noticed a knowing glance that Tommy gave towards the students and walked over to a secluded area.
"I know it's you, Kim." Tommy said softly. He gave her a soft look of shock and hurt, but Kim couldn't let her emotions get into her work.
"I'm here on a job Tommy." She replied curtly. " Now, I need a description of the gunman."
"He is a young Caucasian male with black hair and glasses."
"Do you know what clothing he was wearing?"
"He was wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie with the hood up." Tommy replied, "His name is Dean Giambi, a senior in my seventh period class. He is an overall great student with straight A's, but other than that I don't know why he would feel the need to bring a gun to school." Tommy added.
"Has he ever been bullied? And is there a relation to the victim? Kimberly asked.
"I know Dean's been bullied before because I've seen him in the nurses office with broken glasses and minor injuries." Tommy said thoughtfully, "He has no relation to the victim, David Earnhardt, other than Earnhardt being the class bully-"
"Has the victim been involved in any out of conduct school activity, resulting in suspension?" asked Kimberly
"He has just returned from a 1 week bullying suspension." replied Tommy
"Um Serge, you got that right?" Kimberly asked over the radio, as she began walking over to the victim. The EMTS had arrived and were now cleaning up the floor.
"Bring me the bullets once their out of the victim, I need them for evidence." Kim said to one of the EMTS as she waited for the Sergeant to answer.
Static crackled and his voice sounded through the radio. "Yes I did. Retrieve a list of all the other bullies, they could be in possible danger. Move-!"
"BOOM!"
Another loud shot rang through the school and all muttering and chattering stopped.
"James, let's go! That was close by! Let's go!" Kimberly yelled as she ran out the door.
"Right behind, you Kim" James shouted after her.
Upon exiting the classroom and entering the hallway, they found a body on the ground with blood gushing out of the left leg. Kim rushed over to the boy and found him breathing heavily but still conscious.
"Serge, we have another victim here. And by the looks of it, you may have been right about his hit list." Kimberly yelled through the radio, as Jason calmed the said victim. "Send in EMTS and an ambulance, stat!"
"Kimberly, return to room 211 and continue interrogating the teacher. He may know more about this, James meet me at the closest stairway. We'll scout the second floor" ordered Kelvin "The other teams are arriving and have secured the perimeter, it's only a matter of time before our gunman'll be flushed out. Now let's move!"
"10-4" they both replied
With that they split up and Kimberly re-entered the class room shutting the door behind her. She started to walk towards Tommy
"Tommy, I need to know more about the bullying that took place involving the gunman. We reason to believe that the shooting is caused by bullying, do you have anymore information?" Kim inquired as she pulled Dr. O aside.
"During lunch duty the other day, I witnessed four other seniors from the football team pushing Dean. According to Dean, they had taken his lunch and homework before stuffing him inside a trash bin." Tommy elaborated, "I sent the four kids to Principal Cranston's office where they received 1 week suspensions. They were supposed to return to school today."
Location: Reefside High First Floor
Time: 8:45 AM
"Attention SRU Team 1, subject's name is Dean Giambi. Caucasian male, five foot eleven, aged 18 attending the school as a senior. Clothing is noted to be blue jeans and black hoodie. Motive: unknown, however the gunman is a bully victim. Bullying maybe the cause." Sgt. Lane said through the radios.
"10-4" Jayden replied.
After scouting the hallways they entered the cafeteria. Upon finding nothing, Wes communicated with the others through the radio, "Floor 1, all clear."
Location: Reefside high Room 211
Time: 9:01 Am
After her interrogation with Tommy, Kim saw a flash of black zoom by the window of the classroom door. Acting quickly, she burst through the doors and chased after who she assumed was the gunman.
"Guys, I got a visual" Kim yelled through the radio.
"Kim, do not use force! Follow and arrest the gunman, do not engage with force!" Sgt. Lane's voice blared through her radio.
She grunted as she began chasing Dean down the hallways of Reefside High, turning left, right then left, before tackling him down and handcuffing him. As he went down, the gun slid through the hallway.
"Subject in custody, waiting for pick-up in room 211" yelled Kim through the radio.
With that Kimberly picked up the gun and with Dean, they walked to room 211. As the other team members began entering in, she walked up to Tommy.
"Um, Tommy it's really good to see you again, and I'm sorry if I was a little hos-."
"It's fine Kim, there's no need for you to apologize. You were just doing your job." Tommy interrupted, giving Kim a warm smile.
"If you want, we can meet up after work today?" Kimberly offered.
"I was about to ask you the same thing. Where do you want to meet?" Tommy asked, as he pulled his phone out.
"Today at my place, how does that sound?" Kim asked.
"That'll be great!"Tommy replied enthusiastically.
"My address is 1611 Valencia Road. Swing by around seven." Kim stated, as she turned around to leave.
"It's a date!" Tommy replied, after typing down her address.
'Does he still have feelings for me?' Kim thought.
With that, Kim walked outside the school with her team. As they were about to pull out, however Trini stopped them.
" Trini, I'll meet you here tomorrow. Got it!?" Kim asked.
" Got it." Trini replied.
