The Tests of Willpower
Chapter One
A woman in her early forties. Running for her life. After just witinessing a older man in Central Park. It was late around 11 p.m. Debbie Johnson doing her usual running of two miles. Mostly for exercise in order to keep her weight down.
Her primary care doctor recommended she start up some type of exercise program.
Debbie Johnson a secretary working for the district attorney for New York City. She's also a friend of Mayor Weldon for the last ten years. Even though he will be leaving office soon with the elections coming up.
Temperature wise for this one particular evening. In the upper forties. There was a partial moon currently out behind the Cirrus type of cloud cover.
She wore her small flash light on her side in order to see where she was going. Even though there were enough of lighting coming from the lamp posts through out the entire park.
Running slowly.
It was a moment later. She heard some type of a noise coming from the small ball park. She stopped her movement of running. In order to investigate what it just might be. Having to be some what curious as to just what it can be at this time of the night.
She'd to be awfully careful. So not to spook who or what it might be making the noise. Moving closer to the open gate leading into the ball field.
She was able to see two men standing towards the end of the seats. She wasn't really able to see their faces. She stayed out of sight after turning off her light. In order not to be seen or heard.
She could hear the anger coming from the white causcasian. male. From what she heard. He was discussing about taking out someone from a certain police precinct. She wasn't even sure which precinct or who would be the target at this point.
It was unbelieveable to think to what this man had just said. In the light of things. This man growled rather harshly. When all of a sudden. She heard gun shots being fired. Two shots exactly.
When she looked over at the general vicinity. She saw the body fall between the seats. Not knowing on whether this person was either dead or alive. There was enough of the illumination from the partial moon to now see the man run into another direction.
She waited a few moments until he was now out of sight. Before running over to see on whether the man was still alive.
And when she did. Trying not to touch anything. In order to call 911 to advise the police. It would seem New York City had another dead body on their hands for the moment.
Checking for a pulse at the neck and wrist. He was differently dead with two bullets through to the heart.
She'd to pull out her cell phone placed inside of a small purse on her waste. Having to be dangling about. She needed to call 911 right away to report the shooting.
A moment later.
She was able to explain to the operator. In a some what distraight voice explaining about the two men's conversation, and than the shooting with the two shots being fired.
She needed to stay calm for now. Since the operator had exclaimed. She will be dispatching the authorities right away from the different precincts. Including the 12th precinct with Captain Kate Beckett in charge.
All she'd to do now is just wait it out for now. Even though she was scared as hell. On whether or now she just might of been seen afterwards for when it came to the shooting.
Debbie needed to make a decision. On whether to stay or go into hiding for now. Until the coast was clear. She'd to make a decision quickly. When she heard the sirens in the foreground.
It was at this point.
She made her decision_
