Chapter 3 – docwho2100

"You and your fucking partner have fucked everything to high heaven. In fact this entire damn unit has been dragging their feet and interfering with this investigation. I should have all of you removed from duty and locked up!"

Georgia's eyes narrowed as she stared at the shouter, mentally playing connect the dots with the freckles and moles that dotted the man's face. She didn't care how high ranking this stupid agent was, or how many other high ranking N.O.P.D. officials there were in the room. All she cared about was two of her co-workers, two of her friends, were missing and it was this pock-marked asshole's fault.

No one had bothered to mention the fact that this witness was more than a basic witness. That this criminal they were going after was dirtier than the newspaper at the bottom of a chicken coop's cage. And that Jensen was one of the most prolific informants the feds had reeled in in over 100 years. They had let her and Nikki go out, be sitting ducks, stupid decoys and essentially bait while the transport took place. Bait that now these crappy fishers wanted to cut the line on and run leaving them to the sharks. Add in the fact Nora and Dan had been escorting the equivalent of a nuclear bomb without any idea or protection… Her eyes darted over to where Dan was standing, both admiring and hating how her Lieutenant seemed to be able to maintain a neutral expression and a manner that seemed cool and unperturbed. Maybe earning his Lieutenant rank had sucked all the emotion out of him.

"If Ricci gets away or Jensen is compromised," the Fed continued to yell at Georgia and the other SCU detectives. "We are going to go and relocate Jensen again since apparently your unit is unable to control even a simple stakeout and witness transfer and we now have two of your officers in position to fuck up everything. At this point we are going to be lucky if we can salvage even a few of the basic cases and counts. As of this moment, we are cutting the SCU out of any part of this operation." He began heading out, the others following. "Sending in children and local yahoos to try and foster a good feeling between agencies, what a load of bullshit."

The door slammed closed behind them, leaving the SCU in sullen silence .

"Just going to cut the losses and protect their little nest egg. All they care about is some stats and count and getting a damn medal. They aren't even planning on going after Nikki and Nora." Georgia tensed as she felt a hand on her shoulder. She took a step toward where the brass and Feds had gone and spit. She then turned around, adopting a very scary sweet and innocent look. "Yes boss?"

"That is no way Georgia to speak about your superiors."

"I can not believe, Dan, that you have crossed to their side and are just letting Nora and Nikki take two bullets to protect some greasy, oily…"

"You forgot slimy," one of the other detectives chimed in.

"Whoa, hold on before you send me to the firing line. Did I walk out that door with them?"

"You didn't stand up for Nikki or Nora," Georgia blasted back.

"I had to get them out of here so we can go get our own." Georgia looked curious, the other officers and detectives drawing close. "Georgia, I want you to tell us everything about last night, then I know that even though Detective Honscomb insists he does not know how to hack into computers, he is going to find out a way to get all of the case files on Ricci. Now then, let's get going."
