This is my first Criminal Intent FanFic, sorry if I didn't capture Goren well enough.

Chapter 1: The Crime Scene
"Ha ha! Yo, man I love the city at night!" I yelled, adrenaline pumping through me as I raced through the empty streets.
"Charlie, it's getting late man, your ma said to be home an hour ago. And I need my sleep of the calculus test tomorrow, we should head back." Jake said anxiously, his eyes darting around the lonely, unfamiliar streets.
" What's wrong, Jakey-boy, afraid a gang's gonna come bust a cap in yo ass for being on their territory! Calculus is for losers anyway!" I laughed at my friends shifting eyes and worried form.
I jumped on top of a garbage can and screamed, " I'm king of the ghetto! Come an get me if you're brave enough!"
" What are you doing man, you wantt to get us both killed! I have a future, man, see you later! " He yelled, he darted down the wet streets.
"Jake, come back man, I'll cut it out! Jake! JAKE! " I yelled after him, but he was already gone.
Suddenly, being alone in the ghetto seemed like the stupidest place to be. A death wish almost. I swung around, hearing a noise behind me, but it was just an alley cat. Quickly, I started back the way that I' de come.
Then I heard it, a gunshot, and then more shots. There were running feet, lots of running feet. Screams and grunts of pain coming from somewhere to my right. Just my luck, it seemed that I' de stumbled upon some kind of gang war.
I ran. Down any street, not caring if it was one of the streets that I' de come down. I just ran.
At one point I stopped, the gunfire had stopped; there was no more noise.
Slowly, I retraced my steps towards the alley that the noise had been coming from. My heart racing, I slowly turned the corner and peaked around.
Blood. Bodies. Death.
All I saw before I blacked out was a woman, maybe eighteen, in black, crouched over one of the bodies. She looked up at me, her eyes held tears of pain, and then I was out.
