"All right coppers listen up! Saidi Falls was found murdered last night around 1 am in the South-West area of Woodbine Park. She was stabbed multiple times into the abdomen. Our Witness Mr. Lee, who was walking his dog at the time, saw a man rushing out of the Park.
The suspect was described as Caucasian, roughly 5"9, stubble beard, wearing a Maple Leafs cap, leather jacket, black jeans and black boots.
We don't know yet why Saidi was in that area, but we are assuming that she was meeting the guy who ran away. Unfortunately the guy avoided all the cameras we have in that area, so we couldn't get a good look at his face.
This looks to be the same guy who murdered Francine Marker and Tilly Ashburn. All three women were working the streets as well as had a habit of using drugs. It seems like someone is targeting prostitutes.
We need to get out there and canvas the area. Ask around. We need to put an end to this. Serve, Protect and find this guy" Sargent Frank Best finished his speech and everybody scrambled out of the room.
"Clarke, ready to go?" Andy Swarek my TO asks and throws the car keys. "You are driving today!"
My name is Mia Clarke. I am a Rookie at 15 division for the past six month and Andy Swarek is my training officer. She is married to Detective Swarek, a hard ass. He never smiles, except from when Andy is in the room. It's really sickening.
I am twenty-five years old and recently broke up with my fiancée. Tim couldn't handle me being a cop and I couldn't handle him sleeping with my best friend. Andy told me 'my best friend said to me once: to get over someone, you will need to get under someone'. Let's say I am keeping that in mind, while I get my life on track.
I just moved in with my brother Will, who is a Detective at 55 division, because I didn't want to move in with my parents.
"Clarke?" Andy is sitting next to me and looking at me expectantly. I didn't hear her getting into the car.
"Sorry" I tell her and start the car.
"All right, we are going to ask a couple of Saidi's friends. Maybe they know why she was in the Park." My TO tells me and we drive to Moss Park. Andy knows that Saidi and her friends usually hand out there.
"Stay in here I will be right back." Andy tells me and walks to the next corner. She talks to two women for five minutes before she jumps back into the car.
"So?" I ask.
"Well those two said she was meeting up with a guy called Mark. Apparently he is working for a guy called Ray" Andy answered and fishes her phone out of her pocket.
"Did they describe these guys?" I ask her.
"No. But they said that Ray does business in the F-Stop, a new night club on Wellington Street. I will call Sam and let him know." Andy hit dial.
"Hey Sam..." Her whole body language changes as Andy says his name. "I have some news about Saidi...She was meeting up with a guy called Mark who works for Ray, who does is business in the F-Stop...Yeah ask Steve. Okay...me too. Bye!"
"So he is going to call Peck from Guns & Gangs and see what he can find out." Andy tells me and I start the car again. The rest of our shift is uneventful and I am glad when I my head hit's the pillow that night.
A week later we get ready for a bust at the F-Stop. Guns & Gangs found out that Ray is in fact Ray Morgan, who deals drugs for Darren Flinch. Darren Flinch is one of the biggest heroin and ecstasy suppliers in Toronto.
Guns & Gangs says they have an informant in that club, who told them that Mark is the middle man between Flinch and Morgan. He is supposed to deliver another batch of drugs to the F-Stop today. Unfortunately Guns & Gangs was not able to put a face to that name.
We sit in our squad car watching the back entrance and the alley way. Just five minutes before we supposed to storm the place, the back door opens and three men run out of the building. Andy and I get out of the car and start chasing after them. We radio for back up and hear Dov and Nick replying that they are on the way.
The suspects are splitting up in two different directions. I turn right after one suspect and Andy keeps running straight, running after the other two. The right turn is a dead end and my suspect turns around with a knife in his hand. I take out my gun and point it at him. Just then I realize he fits the description of the guy who fled Woodbine Park.
"Drop the knife and turn around" I shout at him, far louder than necessary. I assume he realizes that I have the upper hand. He drops the knife and turns around.
"This is Clarke. I am in the right alley next to the club. Please send back up." I speak through my radio and then take out my cuffs.
"Alright. Step towards the wall and put your hands to the wall." My suspect obliges and I step closer to search him, as he speaks up.
"You are making a mistake. Just let me go. I am working." He pleads with me.
"Sorry no can do. You are wanted for questioning in a murder investigation. I have to take you in" I cuff him.
"You mean Saidi? Okay listen I will tell you what I saw, if you let me go!" He hisses. I ignore him and radio in "One suspect in custody."
"All right lets go" I tell him and start walking to our cruiser.
Once we get back to the car, I just see a detective from Guns & Gangs at the back door, but Andy is nowhere to be found.
I put my suspect in to the back of the car and wait for Andy.
Ten minutes later, Andy and Dov get back with the other guys.
"Clarke? Where did you go? Why didn't you follow me?" I can see that she is a little pissed.
"I made an arrest" I tell her as she gets back. "They guy I was chasing, went off to the right into an ally and I followed him. He is in the back of the car"
Andy just nods, puts her suspect into the car as well and gets into the driver's seat. "Awesome. This is exactly what I need today."
I look at her confused, but she doesn't elaborate on her comment.
As we get back to the station, she tells me to take her guy and she takes out mine.
"Let's get you guys into holding" Andy opens the door to the holding area and we all move in.
"Holy SHIT" Gail Peck says and looks at the guy Andy is holding. "Donovan Boyd, I wondered what happened to you! Never thought I would see you in here again, after the fiasco four years ago!"
The guy I am holding whips his head around and stares at the guy who is apparently called Donovan. "You told me your name is Mark Link? What the fuck dude?"
"Oh...shit" Gail scrambles for words. "Well, you know...he has been in and out here a few times. Must have mixed you up with someone else."
But my guy doesn't believe her and he keeps on staring at the other guy. "You are a cop?"

Well people let me know what you think! Should I continue or let it be?
