My name is Layla Maloy. Yes, Police Chief Jack Maloys, daughter. My mom died when I was four so it

was just me and dad then. I am 27 now,so I live on my own. I am a cop at my dads favorite precinct

in New York, Precinct #45. Right now, I am just a beat cop but I plan on taking dads job later.

Today, I am going to the shooting range to practice. One day,soon I hope, I will be making it into

ECU. I have more shooting credit than most officers do. While I was in shooting, two officers

came into the control booth.

"Whose in the rooms, Lieu?"

Dad walked in.

"A very talented Maloy."

"Is it your sister, Chief?"

"No, Boscorelli. Do you know who Yokas?"

"Is it your niece?"

"No. It's my daughter, Layla."

"She's beautiful, Chief."

"Damn straight. Layla looks just like her mother."

The buzzer rung.

"Good job, Maloy. Hundred percent. Come on out."

I walked into the control booth. I had my NYPD Hoodi on and a pair of Khakis with an NYPD Baseball

cap. I took the hat off and shook my head as my beautiful golden hair fell onto my shoulders.

"Layla, this is Officer Maurice Boscorelli."

"Hi. You can call me Bosco."

"Hey Bosco."

"and this is Officer Faith Yokas."

"Good to finally meet you, Layla."

"Same here, Faith."

"What were you going to do when you're done here, Layla?"

"Maybe go grab some lunch. Go home and clean up a little before work."

"Come on. I'll treat y'all to lunch."

"Thanks Chief."

"Thank ya Chief."

"Thanks dad."

"You're welcome everyone."

We all went down to a resturant next to precinct 45. In Bosco & Faith's car.....

"She seems really nice."

Bosco wasn't listening.

"Huh?"

"Layla. She seems nice."

"She's hot."

"I wouldn't do it, Bosco."

"Do what?!?"

"I know when you get that look on your face. Be Careful. She's the Police Chief's daughter."

"I want to get to know her, Faith. Layla. That's a beautiful name. Just think, Layla Boscorelli."

"Bosco!"

In my car w/ dad....

"I think Bosco seemed to like you, Lay."

"Dad!"

"I know it sounds weird, Layla. I'm your dad and I'm telling you about guys."

"That's not what I meant dad. Jason died a little over a year ago."

"I know."

We finally got to the resturant.

"Layla here is a Sergeant."

"Techniqly yes. I just got transfered to Precinct 55. I start tomorrow.How long have you been

married, Faith?"

"About 17 years. We have two kids, Emily 16, and Charlie 10. Have you been married?"

I shifted a little and dad knew I was uneasy.

"Lay,"

"Dad. Yeah. He was a firefighter for Company 30 by the WTC. We had been married six months when

the attacks happened. His name was Jason Caffrey,and he was a great guy. His company was one of the

first ones in. He never came back out."

"Did Jason have a brother named Bobby?"

"Yeah."

"Bobby is a paramedic at the company down the street from the precinct 55 house."

We all drove down there. I had some stuff that Jason wanted to give Bobby.

Everyone was with the trucks.

"Anyone here?"

"Can I help you?"

"Yes. I'm lookin' for Bobby Caffrey."

"and you are?"

"Layla Maloy, his brothers widow."

"Bobby!"

He walked up to me and everyone else was watching.

"I'm sorry I didn't come sooner. It was just a little too painful."

"I know whatcha mean."

"Before Jason died, he had gathered up some stuff he wanted to give to you. Here's that plus a

little more that I think that he would want you to have."

"Thank you Layla. I have something for you too."

He ran upstairs and came back down.

"Jas wanted me to hold this for him until your birthday."

"Thanks Bobby. Bye."

"Bye.Listen, stop by once in a while and let me and my ma know how you're doin', Okay?"

"Okay."

I walked over to Dad, Bosco, and Faith and showed them the diamond necklace that was in the case.

My cell rung.

"Layla?"

"Who is this?"

"Mrs.Caffrey Jason's mom."

"Hi Mrs.Caffrey."

"I need you to come over here right away."

"What's the matter? Mrs.Caffrey, has something happened to you?"

"I think someone is still in my house."

"I'll be right over okay? I'll bring a couple officers with me."

"Thanks Layla. Bye."

"Bye."

I ran across the street and told Bobby what was going on. We went over to Bosco, Faith, and Dad.

"Bosco and Faith, do you need a collar?"

"Sure."

"Then come with me."

I drove them to Mrs.Caffrey's house.

"Ain't this where Bobby's mom lives?"

"Yep. We have ourselve a breaking and Entering."

Bobby unlocked the door. We went in with our hands on our guns, ready to draw them if necessary.

Mrs.Caffrey was sitting on the living room floor with a bloody nose and a black eye.

"Jesus Christ, Ma! Who did this to you?"

"I don't know."

"Mrs.Caffrey?"

"Please call me Faye."

"Faye, I'm going to take Officer Boscorelli here and we're going to search your house okay?"

We drew our guns and started searching. I went up in the attic and Bosco went through the bedrooms.

I heard gunshots coming from downstairs, so I ran down the stairs. I felt someone put their hands

around my throat. The person threw me against the wall. The guy was wearing a ski mask, so I

couldn't tell what he looked like. He kissed me EXTREMELY passionatly on the lips. I pushed him

away, did a "floor sweep"kick, and put my foot on his windpipe. I kept my gun trained on him the

whole time.I put the handcuffs on him.

"You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in the

court of law. You have the right to an attourney. If you can not afford an attourney, One will be

appointed to you by the court. Do you understand your rights?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now,shut up."
