"Victim's name is Cole Riley. Age twenty-two. Found at the L.A. Zoo at seven a.m. this morning by a group of students who attended Jefferson Elementary School-"

"Hey,Tao.."

"Yes, chief?" The gentleman looked up from the board to see what chief Johnson had to say.

"Can you read that in your head instead of out loud? Please" The southern belle looked sweet eyed at him

"Uh, yes, chief" But he only spoke quitely while writing down the information.

It was ten a.m. and the priority homocide divison was already making progress in the case. They found footage of Mr. Riley cleaning up an empty monkey cage thirty minutes before the murder. The squad was in the middle of watching the tape when all of a sudden one of Flynn's old partner walks in.

"Hello, Commander Baker. I thought you retired." Flynn said curiously because he was wondering why he was there.

"Well, hello to you Andy. Getting older by the minute I see." His retired partner looked twenty years older than his real age. Flynn guessed that was what happens when you fall off the wagon. "I thought I was retired, too, but I found out one of my employees was murdered and I wanted to see what you had so far."

Brenda noticed the two men exchanging words and then decided to follow up on the discussion."Good morning, I'm Chief Brenda Leigh Johnson. And you are?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't properly introduce myself. I was Commander Sam Baker. I worked for the LAPD for seventeen year before I decided to retire. Lieutenant Flynn here was my partner for ten of those years." He said in a raspy low voice. "And for the other seven years I worked as his boss."

"Not to be rude, Commander, but why...what are you doing here?" She asked also curiously.

"My employee, Cole, was murdered."

"Oh I see. Did you want to give your statement?"

"Yes, ma'am"

"Okay, follow me." The woman turned on her heels to walk the older man to interview room 1. After the door was shut behind him she went up to Andy's desk to ask him for a favour."Lieutenant, Can you please get a statement from Mr. Baker?"

He hesitated, "Sure, Chief. On one condition."

Normally she doesn't make deals because if she asked for something she excepted it to be done. No exception. "Sure, What the condition first?"

"Can I have tomorrow off?" He was waiting on answer.

"Only if we rap this case up by tonight" Those words..."by tonight" were stuck in his head. That meant this case better be solved in eleven hours.

"Thank you for coming by to give your statement. Its been nice to see you again." Flynn, lied straight through his teeth. He remembered all those times that Sam was a complete prick towards him. Honestly, Andrew Fynn could care less about that evil man. And before that crazy bastard walked away he could tell Andy didn't like him and would probaly figure it out, after realizing what he mistakenly said in the interview room.

After Sam walked away the only thing that was on his mind was Sharon. He couldn't wait to get home to see her. He needed to hurry and finish the case in order for that to ever happen.

Things that Baker said in his statement were a little off. He told the divison everything, but most off it was a lie since they found no evidence that supported his information. One thing was a little off but Andy couldn't put his finger on it. it was something about his presence, something he said. Then it hit him. He went on the computer and found that before Baker retired he was sued for killing a father off three children. The three children were put into foster care after their mother committed suicide. The father's name was David Riley.

Andy went to the victims apartment alone to see what he could find. It was six or seven by now and the fall air was starting to come around. He could no longer concentrate, so he came up with something to get him to look deeper to find more evidence. All he came up with was a game he use to play with his siblings when he was many years younger. It was like a scavenger hunt, and the treasure was the evidence. As he was walking from room to room he found something strange. Pictures of his fathers dead body was lying all over a small desk. Note cards were hanging on a map. They were interview cards. The cards were written in sharpie and had names of other police officers Andy knew. Each card had a signature at the bottom. It had C.R. on it. He obviously knew it stood for Cole Riley. Then it hit Andy.

Riley was also trying to solve a case of his own. He was investigating the Commander. So maybe Sam knew he was being watched. What if Cole found out the real truth as to why his father was killed? Maybe Sam Baker knew he solved the old case and decided to kill him.

"Shit...Sam knew all along, that's why he said it was a terrible stab to Cole's back. That evidence had never been released and he wan't there at the time of the murder." All things were said out loud to make sure they made sense.

As Flynn pulled his phone out to call the Chief, his phone started to ring it was Sharon. "Lieutenant Flynn"

In a low voice he heard Sharon speak. "Andy, some is breaking into your apartment and I don't have my gun. I can't talk much longer..." Then he heard her yelp. His heart skipped a beat and he stopped breathing. He couldn't think of all but onething. Andy knew he was at his house and that he was about to hurt Sharon. Chills ran down his back when he recognized to raspy voice. "Come quick lieutenant before your precious girlfriend gets hurt. Don't call anyone or she'll be dead before you get here."

"You lay on hand on her you son of a bitch, and I swear I'll kill you myself." The last for words were cut short when Sam hung up the phone.

Once the call ended Andy jumped into the car and headed to his apartment driving 90 mph.
