Chapter 1

St. Victors Hospital

Manhattan, New York

Danny walked into the emergency room of the hospital and spied his wife standing at the emergency room desk. He walked on up. "Hey babe."

"Hey you. What brings you by?" Linda asked in surprise. Then she remembered. "OH your shooting victim. They just got him stabilize. Andrew is taking up to surgery now."

"Thanks babe. Love you." Danny said moving quickly away from the desk where he saw Erin's boyfriend, Dr. Andrew Parker helping to move a gurney with the shooting victim on it. "Andrew."

Andrew looked over and saw Danny. Andrew moved away from the gurney and towards Danny. "Danny, he's been uncousnicous pretty much since he arrived."

Danny sighed and ran his hands over his head. "Did he say anything?"

"Asha, Asha." Andrew replied. He looked back towards the gurney and Danny again. "Is that relevant?"

"Only the name of my second victim." Danny replied. He took a deep breath. "What do you think?"

"Don't know Danny, he was shot three times by a medium caliber round. I'll let you know." Andrew replied as he heard the elevator ding and Andrew moved off towards the elevator. "Linda has his clothing."

"Thanks." Danny replied. He turned and moved back towards the desk where his wife was waiting. Linda handed him a brown paper bag with the clothing and personnel possessions of the victim inside. "Thanks babe."

"No problem. Paramedics says he was with a girl when they were shot?" Linda asked getting a nod from Danny. She sighed. "What is the world coming to?"

"I ask that every time I roll up to a scene like this. I'll see you tonight." Danny answered. He gave her a quick kiss. "Love you."

Linda smiled. "Love you more."

Danny turned around and walked backwards. "Love you most."

One Police Plaza

Manhattan, New York

"This can't be right John." Frank stated as he looked at the financial figures on the maintenance of the fleet of department vehicles. "How did our maintenance cost jump by 5 percent in the last year?"

"That is because the department had to find another supplier for the parts whose supply comes from a different manufacture." The deputy chief said looking over his notes. "We looked at different suppliers but this was the cheaper option."

"Find a way to cut back on maintenance cost or otherwise we have to take money from someplace I don't want to lose it." Frank ordered with everyone nodding. There came a knock on the door.

Garrett poked his head in from Frank's office. "Got a minute sir?"

Frank turned and got up with everyone rising to their feet. "Give me a few minutes. Keep your seats."

Frank walked into his office. He looked at Garrett who had the TV on. "Garrett is this an excuse for me to watch the View? Because they castrate me every…."

"No. Just watch." Garrett stated as he found the story on a national news network.

"This footage obtained by a source shows a NYPD female officer apparently engaged in a sexual relationship in exchange for a discount on…" The anchor started to say but Garrett muted the news.

"Who is the officer and where is she located out of?" Frank said coming over and sitting down on the edge of his desk.

"I have all commands checking their rosters including here." Garrett remarked as he saw Frank sigh. He himself took a deep breath. "It could be worse."

"Really. One of my officers is caught on camera in an improper sexual relationship for the exchange of goods and all you could say is it could be worse?" Frank asked getting up.

"Alright, poor choice of words on my part." Garrett stated as Frank walked around the desk.

"You think?" Frank asked his DCPI. He looked at Garrett and took a deep breath. "Where's Sid on this?"

"He's checking the roster and id photos of everyone here in headquarters." Garrett stated as he sat down in the chair. He looked at Frank. "We have to get out ahead of this. I am getting questions from the national and local press clamoring for a statement."

"Well you're the media guy you tell me?" Frank stated back.

"The NYPD is currently investigation the allegations that one of their officers engaged in an improper relationship for the exchange of goods and services." Garrett said off the top of his head. He then realized the last part. "I'll clean it up a little bit before I release it."

"Good, and I want updates by the time lunch rolls around." Frank told him getting up and heading towards the conference room again as Garrett nodded and left the office.

Dr. MLK Blvd and Fredrick Douglas Blvd

Harlem, New York

Jamie and his new platoon commander rolled up to the scene of the robbery with another unit from their precinct already on scene. Lt. Jameson and Jamie got out of the car. "This is one of our bi-weekly call outs. Most of the time its small scale crimes such as shoplifting or vandalism. Yet this is the second time as in many weeks poor Mr. Jackson got robbed."

"It wouldn't happen either if the police did more." Mr. Jackson shouted as the officers in front of him tried to calm his down. "I've own this business for the past 20 years and I have changed insurances 10 times since I opened."

"I understand Mr. Jackson, but most of the time, the charges are dropped and we can't do anything about that." Lt. Jameson stated as he walked by the store where the area was taped off. "Oh and this is Sergeant Reagan. He just started today after coming in."

"Nice to meet you sir." Jamie said coming over and shaking Mr. Jackson's hand.

"You look familiar to me Sergeant." Mr. Jackson replied as Jamie smiled and shrugged his shoulders. "It will come back to me. Now tell me what you are going to do about this Lieutenant?"

"Do you have security camera's sir?" Jamie asked as he walked towards the door.

"I do not that they do any good since the punks that always do stuff to my store always fry them out with laser pointers." Mr. Jackson replied to Jamie as he turned and looked. "Why do you care anyway?"

Lt. Jameson smiled and took Mr. Jackson by the shoulder. "He cares about you and your property Mr. Jackson, just like the rest of do. Now come on, let's take your statement and see if you describe the men who robbed your store."

Jamie walked inside the store and looked about. He saw the older models of the security cameras. He then saw a picture of a young lady wearing a Yale sweater working in the store. Lt. Jameson came in. "He described 3 young black males wearing bandanas over their faces. He couldn't tell who they are."

"Well I will increase patrols in this sector to try and calm nerves." Jamie said as he looked at the pictures.

"Not that they will cooperate if we did." Lt. Jameson stated as he saw Jamie staring at the picture. "That is Angela. Mr. Jackson's only daughter. She is at Yale right now. Come on Reagan. Juarez and Mann can finish up here as they wait for CSU to arrive."

Jamie nodded and moved off towards the door taking a look around one last time before departing.

Office of the District Attorney for New York County

Manhattan, New York

"She really told you that?" Laura, Erin's assistant asked. She got a nod from Erin. She let out a breath. "Did she say where you were on the list?"

"No she didn't but it wouldn't shock me if I am near the top of the list." Erin replied as she remained in shock. She leaned back in her chair and blew out an exasperated breath. "Just to be considered is an honor."

"What did you say to her ma'am?" Laura asked sitting down in the chair across from her boss.

"Thank you for the consideration." Erin stated as she got up. She looked at her assistant. "If I am selected though, I would to resign here and run for the seat in just a few years."

"I would go for it ma'am. You never know when you'll get another opportunity like this." Laura remarked.

Erin smiled. "Thanks, but it's not me I have to consider now."

Laura was confused for a moment then it hit her. "Dr. Parker."

Erin nodded and sat back down in the chair. "Anyway she gave me the next couple days to think about it. So let's move on. What about Mr. Jorgenson?"

Laura nodded and opened up a folder. "He says that he can be here around 11 am to discuss…"

Erin nodded as her assistant talked about the defense lawyer coming to see her, but her mind was on the decision she have to make and the person she had to talk to.

Major Case Squad

Manhattan, New York

"Hey Reagan. What's the status of our second victim?" Baez asked Danny as he walked back into the bullpen of his precinct.

"Andrew doesn't know, but he'll let us know when he can." Danny said as he set the bag down containing the victim's possessions on his desk. Danny put on gloves and opened the bag. "Alright so we have a jacket, with bullet holes and blood on it, along with the remains of his shirt. His jeans also covered with blood and cut up."

"We'll get these to the lab." Baez remarked as she opened up an evidence bag and placed the materials inside them.

Danny nodded. "All right we have a cellphone and wallet. ID does match our shooting victim here."

Baez grabbed the phone and set it on her desk. "Alright, and I'll get the warrant for the cell phone so we can check his call history and messages."

Danny nodded his agreement as he sat down as they sealed the evidence bags signed them and had a uniform grab them to run them to the lab. "Good and I'll have uniforms bring in his parents to talk to us. What did you find about Asha Kapoor?"

"Graduate assistant over at NYU in psychology where she is studying TBI in combat veterans." Baez remarked from the notes she gathered. She sat up and looked at her partner. "Canvass didn't turn up a murder weapon nor any shell casings."

"Great. What about her family?" Danny asked as he leaned back and looked at Baez who consulted her notes again.

Baez looked up from her notes. "Mother, brother both live in the city. Dad died five ago from cancer. He was another psychologist but he focused on children with learning disabilities. They are on the way in to talk to us."

"Well how does she know Jeffery?" Danny asked.

"Still working on that, because with the possibility of Jeffery living through his shooting, the school is waiting on a warrant to release his information to me." Baez remarked as she leaned back in his chair. She looked at her partner. "Is this a hate crime? Going after some poor girl who was either dating or hanging out with him?"

"In today's day and age partner possibly." Danny stated as he breathed out a sigh and moved his chair closer back to his desk. "So there isn't any shell casings. Asha is shot in the head, and Jeffery 3 times in the chest."

"You think it's an honor killing?" Baez asked.

"I don't know yet. But I do know something. Whoever shot these kids wanted to make a statement." Danny remarked as he opened up his email. "It would help if we knew what Jeffery was doing."

"Well warrant has been delivered to the school so we should hear something back soon." Baez said as she opened up her internet browser. "

"Yeah I hope its sooner than later and another body doesn't drop on us." Danny remarked he and Baez went to work on their current case.
