Chapter 1: The First Day, 06:39 November 14th 1947 [Detective Hart]

When I walked into the briefing room I didn't know what to suspect. Would these guys be horrible to me and Enrique of would they be nice. Captain Leary approached and we walked in behind him.

"Settle down men. Today I would like to welcome two new members of the squad. These boys have been working their asses off and have earned a promotion. Detectives Gonzales and Hart". Leary announced our arrival as if it was the main act of the Jazz club.

"Right first up, Kruijswik and Tallington, I've got a stolen car found on the train tracks at Union Station. There is blood on the passenger seat so get over there and investigate". Leary began

"Yes boss" replied the Kruijswik. He was a tall guy who seemed to like the colour Blue as his whole outfit was Blue. They walked out and went to scene

Leary continued "Right boys, I'm giving you a new scheme, all four of you are a team". By all four of us he meant me, Enrique, Joseph Hobbes and Rusty Galloway. I knew Galloway well from his days on Homicide with Late Detective Phelps. I admired those two. They always seem to have a sense of swagger about them. Galloway had been suspended after Phelps' death because he attacked a man in the street. He had history with this guy and so did I. John Ferdinand Jamison. He was a creep who tried to make love with a dead body. Galloway punched him square in the face and if it weren't for his partner he wouldn't of stopped. He was suspended for three weeks and demoted to Traffic. I worked the Scene in that particular case.

"WHAT" Hobbes bellowed.

"Listen Hobbes, The crime rates are going up and we need more officers on a scene at the same time". Leary firmly pushed aside Hobbes' lack of vision

"Morning Hart, good to see your in the big leagues" Galloway called out.

"Thanks Rusty" I said back.

" Okay quit the Mothers meeting at lets get back to business. A Mr Caltenaga reported a car had driven straight into his kitchen. The car seems to have been driven into the building at high speed. Get up and get out boys".

We walked down the stairs as Enrique asked Hobbes why he had been that rude to Captain Leary, the superior officer. "Look Gonzales sometimes you have to attack the Captain so that you can get the best out of your job".

We reached the car and I offered to drive but Hobbes said he would so I sat in the back with Galloway.

"Before you say anything about Cole Phelps, please be respectful towards him". Rusty said. It was silent then until we reached the scene. The House was opposite the Westlake Tar Pits.
