I´m sitting in an unmarked Van four blocks from 2223 Haywood Street putting on my gear.
Black trousers.
White blouse.
Dark blue flak vest with FBI written across it.
Black shoes with a low heal.
Utility Belt.
A Glock 22 .40 S&W in my hip holster. Right side.
A Glock 26 9x19mm Parabellum in my ankle holster. Left leg.
A Ka-Bar combat knife in a sheath strapped on my left forearm.
Two pair of handcuffs and three extra clips .40 S&W. Backside.
Small Maglite, a small can of maze and a stun gun. Left side.
Black jacket.
Hair up, in a French Twist.
Comm-unit. Earpiece and a Microphone taped on my left cheek. Transmitter hefted on the belt.
Lip gloss.
Five coats of mascara. I need more than just courage.
Shiny Badge dangling on my chest.
Today I´m not proud to wear it.
Today it stands for my betrayal by doing the right thing.
