Thomas and his Grandfathers are tested by a case that has seized the NYPD, what will Thomas face in his battle with the killer?
Chapter 4:
Previously in Honor, Duty and New York
A re-union of old war comrades
Thomas and Jordan re-unite after 2 years from last seeing each other in Afghanistan, as Jordan bro-hugs Thomas.
A shocking truth comes out
Thomas and Jordan are sitting in a bar as Jordan says, "Remember 2 years ago, 6 kids went missing, you think the guy was ex-military."
Thomas looked over at Jordan, he had asked himself, what the hell he had been told.
"2 years ago, 6 kids, went missing and turned up dead." "Mother of all hell." Thomas I says.
Marine Park, Brooklyn, New York City
Thomas is sitting down as his Grandfather says, "And he told you all of this, himself?" "Straight from his own mouth, Gramps, I didn't know what to do." "If he told you, then there was something wrong." "What was I supposed to do, arrest him?" Thomas said in irritation.
Thomas I then said, "We picked three more bodies today, all three from St Joseph Catholic, another three more and the cycle rolls on." "When were they killed?" "Several days ago, was the last report."
Thomas IV then felt the urge to ask as he said, "Which Grade were they?" "5th Grade." "He's waiting, he's waiting to be caught." "Who by?" "The only person who knows him. Me." "I'll make a call and see about getting you back in the streets." "Are you even sure that's a wise idea?"
Thomas I chuckles saying, "The boots on the ground, like me, Rangers Lead the Way." "All the way, Master Sergeant." Both young and old laugh a little as they share a drink together.
After dinner, the Donnelly family are watching the Rangers game against the fierce rivals of the NY Islanders as it turned out to be a devasting loss as Thomas said, "Horrible loss, today." "Ah, that's life for you."
Danielle looked up and said, "Grandpa, are we having a bad month?" "I'd say, it's just a bit of bad luck." "A boy I played with in the park, said that Rangers are always the losers, and that we suck."
Thomas II then said, "Well, that young man, thinks he knows everything, don't let someone get to you, like that." "I told him that the New Jersey Devils suck."
Thomas IV smiled proudly as he said, "Atta-girl, and yes, the Devils ain't got nothing compared to the mighty Rangers." "Rangers Lead the Way, right?"
"Right." Thomas I, II and IV said simultaneously.
Louisa and Marilyn laughed as Elizabeth said, "Like Thomas, like Thomas, alike in every way." "What can we say?" Thomas IV asked.
Louisa then said, "Don't come to me, when Danielle starts swearing." "Danielle would never do that, not unless she decided to play little league, which wouldn't happen." "You never know, she might turn out like you." "Very funny." Thomas IV said.
All 3 generations of the Donnelly men laughed as the women left them, as Thomas I then said, "Good to spend time together, like the old days." "Yes, it's not all bad." Thomas II replied.
Thomas IV felt something was on his mind as he didn't speak up, which the first Thomas noted as he said, "Somethin' up, kid?" "Just thinkin' about him, doesn't feel like the gang is here without him."
Thomas II sighed thinking about his son, it had been nearly 10 years since Thomas III disappeared, they had lead an agonising search for him for a year before the NYPD called it off, but in this case, the Mayor ordered the previous Commissioner to call off the search, something that had pissed off the Donnelly family very deeply.
But in secret, both elder Thomas' had been secretly investigating the disappearance of their third generation, both men had their concerns that it was linked to a group of ex-dirty cops, they had heard rumours that this group had been bad news, going from stealing cash, weapons, drugs and even delved into terrorism, but none of it had been confirmed.
Only the two of them knew this, they didn't know who exactly to trust in the New York Police Department.
They weren't even certain how to reveal to Thomas they had found evidence that the third-generation was still alive and he was hidden out in the world.
Thomas I then said, "Don't give up, kiddo. He's alive, he's tough as nails." "Like all of us, Donnelly motto: Boots on the ground, No Retreat, No Surrender." "Hoo-ah." Thomas I & II said.
Soon the phone rang as Thomas IV headed to answer as he said, "Hello, who is it, please?" he heard a reply as he said, "Sir, it's the Chief."
Thomas I stepped up as Thomas handed him the phone, he then leaned up against the stairwell, watching his grandfather who had put the phone down as Thomas IV said, "What is it?" "Not here, let's go into the living room."
Thomas nodded as the pair walked into the room as Thomas shut the door quietly as possible as he sat down looking at the police commissioner who had said, "DNA was found on the bodies, it was a handprint, they analysed the handprint and it came up with Jordan Lipansky as the owner."
Thomas IV stood up, he had felt betrayed, he had fought side-by-side with Jordan for 2 years, 2 of those years they were a sniper-spotter team until Thomas had been shot 5 inches close to his heart on a simple patrol in Afghanistan, it was Jordan and several other Rangers who had saved his life, for that he was eternally grateful. Jordan had left the Army in May of 2016. Which had saved his life from a convoy ambush in July of 2016.
Thomas had fallen into a dark hole but he still went back for more, he had been considered one of the best operators in the Rangers and his record had been unmatched by anyone in the entire 75th Ranger Regiment, even the NYPD saw his sniper skills as a talent.
Thomas had then watched the window as he said, "What'll happen now?" "The Chief is going to go live with the news, undoubtedly this'll cause a hell storm." "If it comes down to it, I want to be the man to put a bullet in his head, no one else, just me." Thomas says solemnly.
Thomas II then says, "How do we find this guy? That's what worries me, we're dealing with a 20-year Army Ranger veteran with more experience than others?"
Thomas IV then said, "You got me to help, I know this guy, he'll go to high ground, he's trained in everything, he won't hesitate to kill, he's lookin' to use the snowstorm tomorrow as his cover, there are many high buildings in this city, he'll use Manhattan as his battle ground." "Won't stop us though." "I know him, he trained me all his moves, but I'm just a little better."
Thomas I nods as he says, "I think we all need some rest tonight, and just pray to god, the coming snow storm lets up." all Thomas's nod as they head up for bed.
Thomas stops to take a peek in on his daughter, quietly sneaking into her room, he looks to see her sleeping as he softly says to her, "Nighty-night, Baby girl." Before kissing her softly.
He left the room closing the door as Danielle formed a smile dreaming peacefully.
Thomas then headed for his own room as he took his shirt off, he took a look at a picture of himself and his ex-friend Jordan Lipansky in their fatigues, Thomas held a M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle in his hands and Jordan was carrying two M4A1s in his hands.
Thomas then stares at his medals, looking at them, he sees the Congressional Medal of Honor at his awards ceremony in 2015 after his first tour, it was what had made him a legend in his first year, something that had confirmed his friendship with Jordan Lipansky.
Thomas fell on the bed as he fell asleep remembering when he said goodbye to Jordan as Jordan returned home from the war in 2016.
Thomas Flashback Scene
May 25th 2016
Afghanistan
It was a typical sunshine day in Afghanistan at the main command base for the 75th Ranger Regiment whilst they were in country.
First Sergeant Jordan Lipansky was preparing to leave the Army after 20 long years of fighting in the US Army 75th Ranger Regiment, he served in Kosovo, Operation Enduring Freedom and in Operation Iraqi Freedom and in South Eastern Afghanistan for Operation Freedom's Sentinel as well. he had been awarded every medal in service of his country, lost many comrades and made a many great friends.
He soon spotted Thomas Donnelly IV walking towards him, Thomas had been his best friend since the first day they had met, the two were sniper and spotter in the two years they fought together, Jordan had saved Thomas's life 2 months earlier after a sniper took a pot-shot at him, narrowly missing his heart by 5 inches.
Jordan smiled as he said, "Thomas, it was an honor." "Same as well First Sergeant, a true honor, you got anyone waitin' back home?" "Na, no family, I lost mine during 9/11." "Sorry Top, you have good luck, huh?" "You too, Staff Sergeant, they're letting me keep ole Kate, right here?" Jordan gestured to the M2010 Sniper rifle that Thomas had used during his time as a sniper.
Thomas chuckled as he said, "I'll kick your ass for namin' it Kate, you rat bastard."
Jordan laughed out loud as he said, "Your fault for showing me that picture of her." "Yeah, look, I best let you go, don't wanna miss your flight out of this place." "Good luck bro." "You too, First Sergeant. Rangers Lead the Way." "Sua Sponte, brother. Best of all luck." Thomas nods.
Thomas then stands to attention saluting the senior ranking NCO as Jordan returns it proudly as the pair fist-bump each other as Jordan heads for the truck that is soon to be departing, Thomas watches his friend leave as he doesn't shed a tear about it.
He walks back to his bunk and pulls out Jordan's parting gift to him which was a Glock 19 from Jordan's 2nd from last tour of duty. He sat on the bunk now cleaning the M24 SWS that was now his new sniper rifle, to his displeasure, he regretted letting go of the rifle that he used alongside Jordan.
He then recited the sniper's creed saying, "This is my rifle. There are many like it, but this one is mine.
My rifle is my best friend. It is my life. I must master it as I must master my life.
Without me, my rifle is useless. Without my rifle, I am useless. I must fire my rifle true. I must shoot straighter than my enemy who is trying to kill me. I must shoot him before he shoots me. I will ...
My rifle and I know that what counts in war is not the rounds we fire, the noise of our burst, nor the smoke we make. We know that it is the hits that count. We will hit ...
My rifle is human, even as I, because it is my life. Thus, I will learn it as a brother. I will learn its weaknesses, its strength, its parts, its accessories, its sights and its barrel. I will keep my rifle clean and ready, even as I am clean and ready. We will become part of each other. We will ...
Before God, I swear this creed. My rifle and I are the defenders of my country. We are the masters of our enemy. We are the saviors of my life."
End Flashback Scene
Back in New York, Thomas laid staring up at the ceiling as he contemplated what he was going to do, he'd be asked to kill his former spotter, a man he served alongside with, sometimes, he wondered if this was all a simple joke on him. Outside the window of the Donnelly home, the snow had begun to fall setting up a high density area all over the city of New York.
On another part of New York City, Jordan Lipansky was sitting in his hideout, he was brushing over the familiar sniper rifle that was the M2010 Enhanced Sniper Rifle, he caressed the weapon carefully as he murmured to it. He then said to a picture of him and Thomas saying, "Tomorrow, we duel."
Jordan loads the rifle as he speaks to another person in the darkness saying, "You ready?" "Whenever you are." The man says.
Jordan nods before saying, "Get some rest, we'll leave in the morning." "Yeah, sure thing." The man says.
The next morning, Thomas wakes up early at 0630 am, doing 30 push ups and 30 reps of his dumbbells before he heads for the shower and washes himself quickly before getting out, he dries himself off and changes into his off-duty clothing.
He heads down the stairs as he makes himself some toast and some scrambled eggs, after he's eaten, he cleans his plate and the frying pan he used for the eggs as he puts it all away, he turns on the radio as he listens to the broadcast seeing the snow falling through the window, soon the broadcast changes as it says, "As you're all wondering, the snow is falling all around us outside. Which does mean schools are closed, mostly in Staten Island, Brooklyn, Queens and The Bronx. But unfortunately, only 75% of the schools have been closed in Manhattan…"
The broadcast lists down the schools that have been closed because of the snow storm but does list the schools that have been open as one school catches his ears which is, "St Joseph's Catholic Kindergarten school."
Thomas's heart fell hearing the name, it was then he realised that Kate's school was still a target for Jordan, he knew that Kate and many others would be a target for Jordan. He then headed to brush his teeth as he saw a text from his friend Henry Renzulli who said, "Tommy, my car's been damned to hell, don't suppose I can get a lift from ya?" "No problem, bro, I'll pick ya up, in 5 mikes." "Nothin' takes 5 minutes." Henry replies back.
Thomas chuckles as he brushes his teeth going all around before he spits out mouthwash, he then heads down the stairs carrying his jacket and his pack before walking out the door and driving out of the driveway, he then heads for Henry's address one street over as he waits out the front as he sees his good friend Henry turn up, who kisses his wife goodbye before walking to Thomas's car as he says, "Thanks Tommy-boy." "No problem." "You see the news about that Army Ranger that killed those kids?" "Yeah, I knew him, he was my spotter in the Rangers."
Henry then formed an O-shape on his mouth as he says, "I'm sorry, kid." "Thanks, the guy saved my life too, when I was close to dying." "You thinkin' about it?" "Only thing that's going to happen is that this prick is dyin' today, nothing else. I'm taking the shot, no matter what."
Henry then says, "Gotta be smart about this, this ain't no sniper they're talking about." "I know, you and I both know which sniper we're talking about."
Henry and Thomas both shared a look, the two men had trained in sniper school for both the Marines and the Army, both were the best in the business, Henry was the lone wolf sniper, an expert with his weapon, some presumed he was much of a legend. But he didn't like taking credit for actions during the line of duty in his 5 years as a United States Marine.
The pair drove in silence heading for the 27th Precinct. Once they arrive they see the precinct is bursting as they walk in and see Matt who says, "About time." "The hell's goin' on?" Thomas asks.
Matt then explains, "Ever since last night, the precinct's being going into overdrive with false sightings of this sniper." "Jesus, hands on deck is it?" "Every precinct in Manhattan, as far as I know."
Thomas nods as he looks around seeing the people, he stops a minute and thought he saw someone, a man in his late 20s, dark hair pushed to the side, Blue eyes, he wore a blue jacket, brown cargo trousers, his boots tucked into the trousers.
He then heard someone then say, "THOMAS!"
Thomas turns back to Henry who said, "Let's go, Bud, roll call in 10 mikes!"
Thomas nods before turning to the front seeing the familiar man isn't there as he walks to the changing room as he changes into the uniform.
He attaches his tie and places his weapon in his holster before putting his hat on, as he walks out of the room.
He walks into the briefing room and stands in the front just as Sergeant Roselli walks in saying, "Officers, fall in."
Everyone silences conversations as they pay attention to the Sergeant as he begins, "As you all are aware today's snowstorm was pretty much unplanned, but still we have a city to protect. As you may have heard on the news, 3 dead kids, we do have a suspect. Everyone, this is Jordan Lipansky, he's a 20-year United States Army veteran, served in the 1st Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment. Highly decorated, even a trained sniper, for those of you who may have served…this guy is the ultimate deal. Especially for a couple men that served in the famed 75th Ranger Regiment."
Roselli nods to Thomas who returns it as Roselli continues, "Plan for today is to ensure that this guy is behind bars, that's the official order down from the PC and the Chiefs, don't like it? Keep those thoughts to yourself. Any questions before concluding the briefing?"
One officer puts his hand up as Roselli said, "Yeah Manfredi, what ya got?" "Sarge, I had two questions. First one, if this guy shoots at us, do we have permission to shoot at him?" "Rules of engagement are not to return fire unless fired upon. Your second question?"
Manfredi nods before saying, "I know that Officer Donnelly is a former Ranger, can we trust him not to shoot at us?"
Some of the other officers laugh as Thomas keeps his temper in check as Roselli then says, "Okay wiseass."
Roselli turned to Thomas and said, "Officer Donnelly will you most likely shoot at us?" "In response to the Sergeant's question, I will follow the orders that have been handed down by the chain of command, I wouldn't shoot at fellow brother or sister in blue. I suggest that Officer Manfredi keeps both eyes and ears open on the job." Thomas says glaring at the officer.
Roselli nods as everyone is dismissed as Thomas partners up with Roselli as he says, "Good handling, sorry about Manfredi." "Don't worry, Sergeant, I've learned that guys like him are all talk." Roselli laughs as Thomas says, "Sarge, I know it's not proper procedure, but I might know a guy that knows where 1st Sergeant Lipansky is." "Alright, we'll follow you." "Okay."
Thomas and Roselli get into the patrol car as they head off to meet Thomas's guy.
At 1PP, Commissioner Donnelly is in a briefing with the other chiefs of the NYPD as he says, "Where we at with security in all boroughs?" "All boroughs have been alerted prior to this scenario, ESU and Mounted Units are on high alert and patrolling the areas. Harbour and Aviation Units can't get out into the perimeter due to low visibility on behalf of weather conditions." "Curse this weather."
Many other chiefs murmured in agreement as Manhattan East Chief then said, "We've currently set up patrol officers on the Brooklyn Bridge and the Manhattan Bridge at both sides, we've even got officers set up in Hugh L. Carey toll tunnel, so far pictures up all over the place." "Good, I want everyone on high alert, don't start roughing up anyone." Everyone nodded as Thomas stood to leave as everyone stood to attention.
Soon the Commissioner's secretary came in saying, "Sir, the Mayor is requesting your presence." "Have her on in, Ramirez."
Soon the mayor walked in, she had long brunette hair with brown eyes, a skirt that fluttered in the wind as she said, "Commissioner Donnelly." "Madame Mayor, take a seat." "I understand you have set up security on all bridges tunnels in and out of every borough or into New Jersey, don't you think it's overkill."
Thomas sighed as he said, "In a situation we must always be prepared, but a situation like this, involving an Army Ranger. We need all hands on deck."
The mayor sighed as "I know your record Commissioner, you were once a soldier, this is personal, I see that." "This isn't personal, Madame Mayor, we have an Ex-Army Ranger out in the wind running around New York City, 75% of schools closed and god knows how many children at risk." "Is that the reason you brought your great-grandson in on this."
Thomas I looked up, he wondered how this reached her ears as he said, "No idea what you mean." "I know his record, awarded the Medal of Honor, DSC, Silver Star 3 times and god knows how many other medals on his record, he served alongside this man for 2 years, was his partner in a sniper-spotter team, how can you trust that your grandson won't turn on his fellow officers?"
Thomas then stood up as he said, "Madame Mayor, my Grandson is one of the best Rangers I've ever seen, I once was part of the 2nd Ranger Battalion on D-Day, even served in Korea, he knows the odds and so do I, he'll give his life in service of his city, he's a damn good shot and our only lead on this guy, you've gotta trust him."
The mayor nodded before saying, "So you'd put everyone's lives in his hands." "He's got more stones than anyone else, he won't hesitate." "Then I'll reluctantly put my life in his hands, just don't let him screw up." "He won't, I promise you."
The mayor nodded before leaving as Thomas II and the special assistant to the Commissioner Lieutenant Ramsey (White-Grey hair slicked back with light green eyes) came in as he said, "Thomas's got the world on his shoulders here."
Thomas II muttered saying, "You know this reminds me of Franklin." "Gives me the feeling about Phillips too."
Lieutenant Ramsey then said, "I hate to say it, but how confident are you that Thomas will pull the trigger here?" "Confident, to a T."
Thomas I, II and Lieutenant Ramsey stand looking out the window at the sight of a snowy New York City.
Thomas and Roselli are driving to a nearby military veterans bar as Thomas says, "You want to find a military vet, check a military bar. This bar, I know pretty well." "Personal experience?" "Been around since the end of WW1, My Great-Great Grandfather came here after the war ended, him and his ole buddies." "You do the same with yours?"
Thomas doesn't say a word as he puts the car in a parking spot as he walks in as Roselli says, "How we do it?" "Play it cool."
Thomas walks inside as he looks around the bar trying to spot someone with no luck. He then walks to the bar seeing the bartender saying, "Looking for someone." "Lotta somebodies in here, kid." "Dark hair, blue eyes, blue jacket with brown trousers, trousers tucked into the boots, Frank Magnum, ring a bell?" Thomas says arching his eyebrows.
The man looks up smiling as he says, "Should have known you be coming around, Tommy." "Where's Frank? Johnny, you musta known somethin'?" "Come to think of it, he was around here, 2 days ago, just mindin' his own business, then Lipansky came up to him, offered him a job, that much I know." Johnny the bartender said.
Thomas then said, "It's important, Johnny, we need to find Jordan otherwise, there's goin' to be casualties." "I heard a rumour, he was in either Staten Island or Queens, maybe Manhattan, but a guy like him, he don't stay on the grid for long." "I know, what you mean." Thomas says.
Johnny then said, "I'd tell ya, kid, you think, you can take him in?" "I'm going to try Johnny. I gotta try, if I can't, I know what to do." "I know, kid, you remind me of him, you know." "Thanks Johnny, take care of yourself, brother." Thomas says a farewell to his friend.
Soon Johnny then says, "Tom, Frank's living in Manhattan, down in Little Italy." "Thanks, Johnny."
Thomas leaves the bar as Roselli follows him asking, "We got somethin'?" "Yeah, we do, Frank Magnum's last location. Little Italy, Manhattan."
Roselli claps his hands seeing the snow continuing to fall around them as he says, "Patterson and Renzulli are in that area, let's pass it onto them." "Alright, let's get on the road." Thomas says.
The pair get in the squad car as Roselli then says into the radio, "Central, this is 27-Charlie, got a radio message to 27-Indigo, pass it down to them." "Copy, 27-Charlie, relay message." "Have 27-Indigo, pick up a guy in Little Italy, name's Frank Magnum, description's Caucasian male, mid-late 20s, dark hair, blue eyes, looks kinda like Sebastian Stan." Thomas then says providing a description of the man.
"Copy, 27-Indigo, we'll relay message to them." "Much obliged, Central." Roselli replies.
Roselli then says, "So how'd you know that barman?" "He and my Dad served together in the Gulf and in Somalia." "Oh, right."
The pair get on the road to continue their patrol.
Over in Canal Street, just near Little Italy, Manhattan, Matt and Henry were on foot patrol keeping an eye out for Jordan Lipansky, so far there had been no luck in finding him, but for the 2 Marines that had 9 years of combat experience between them (Matt with 4 and Henry with 5). They didn't like having to search for a fellow war veteran, but orders were orders. Soon Matt's radio went off as they heard Central say, "27-Indigo, you have an urgent radio message from 27-Charlie."
Matt then says, "Relay message." "Locate and bring in Frank Magnum, lookin' for a Caucasian male, mid to late 20s, dark hair, blue eyes, clothing is a blue jacket, brown trousers, trousers are tucked into the boots, over?" "Copy, we got a last known location?" "Seen somewhere in Little Italy, Manhattan, address is at an apartment in Baxter St." "Central, show us responding."
Matt and Henry raced back to the patrol car as they headed for Baxter Street, arriving at a rundown apartment block. Henry got out first as he walked towards the door, he looked at the mailbox seeing Magnum's name as it was listed under apartment 3. The pair walked up the steps seeing apartment 3.
Henry knocked on the door as Matt stood watching the stairwell.
The door opened to reveal Frank Magnum as he said, "Is somethin' up?"
Matt then said, "NYPD. You Frank Magnum?" "Yes, what is this about?" "We have orders to find you, it appears Thomas Donnelly wants to talk to you." "Master Sergeant Donnelly?"
The pair looked in shock as Henry said, "You know him?" "We were old friends in Special Forces, how is he?" "He's fine, but you're needed to speak to him." "Alright, let me grab my jacket."
Frank heads to grab his jacket and closes the door clutching his jacket as the three men walked down to the squad car heading out of Little Italy.
The car stops down by the Columbus park as the three men get out of the car, soon Frank spots Thomas Donnelly and an unfamiliar officer walking towards him as Frank walked up and said, "Master Sergeant." "I'm retired, First Sergeant, it's good to see you old friend." "You too, let's lose the ranks. What's this about?" "SFC Jordan Lipansky, you and he served in the Rangers before you up and left for the 5th SFG same time he left the Ranger Battalion."
Frank nods saying, "I am aware, now he's a wanted man, killed kids, right?" "Right, PD picked up 3 kids yesterday, DNA matched to him having dragged their bodies, 9 bodies to his name."
Frank whistles before saying, "Picked a helluva time to come to me." "You knew him for 4 years before headin' over to 5th SF, I want to find him before others do." "He's over at a warehouse in Queens, last I heard, he offered me a job to help him out, I declined, he's planning a terror attack, van running around New York with enough explosives to level the ground floor of a building." "Then we gotta stop him. Any friends?" "He's working alongside a rogue Spetsnaz sniper and a Syrian sniper. Rumour was that Syrian sniper was the same one that ambushed your company in July 2016."
Thomas then looked at Frank as he said, "You are kiddin' right?" "I'm not, Tom, I ain't kiddin'." "I thought I put lead in that guy." "Turns out the bastard's still alive." "Nikolai too, huh?" "Yeah. Look's like we have our own bridges to burn." "Help us find these assholes." "Why do you think I'm here? Plus, I hope to report to the Academy in February, can I get a reference from ya?"
Thomas laughed as he said, "After you saved my ass and I returned the favour, that made us friends, let's hunt this bastard."
Frank nods as Thomas says, "Call it in, tell Central we got a location on Jordan Lipansky, tell our boys to come in with no sirens, he may have company with him." "You got it."
Thomas then pulled out his phone and dialled his Grandfather's number as he said, "Commissioner, I got reliable intel on Jordan Lipansky, he's not alone, he's got 2 other snipers with him, one's Syrian, the other is Spetsnaz." "How'd you get this intel?" "Old comrade of mine who saved my life gave us actionable intel, turns out he met Jordan 2 days ago who offered him a job. Be advised, there may be a truck running around Manhattan with C-4 Explosives, we'll need back up." "I'll have our people on this intel." "Copy that, sendin' him to you, Frank Magnum is his name." "Acknowledged."
Thomas ends the call as he says, "Head to 1PP, ask for Commissioner Donnelly." "Sure thing, the minute we find our snipers, I'll let you know." "Copy that, Brother."
Thomas heads for the patrol car as he drives off heading for Queens, New York as Henry and Matt follow them.
Next time on Honor, Duty and New York
The Hunt begins
Many police cars arrive at a warehouse in Queens, New York City as Thomas gets out of the car carrying an M4 Carbine.
"Everyone stack up on the doors!"
Meanwhile, another threat is around the corner
In the Command Centre, the Chiefs begin tracking a possible threat to New York as the Chief of Department says.
"Sir, we have eyes on the vehicle, it's slowing down."
A harrowing showdown
"I'll finish the job, jackass."
"I'm counting on it. Good luck."
An unknown sniper rests his rifle on the front of a Car as he silently says something.
No one is safe
A loud explosion is heard, leaving only questions.
The hunt is on! With new intelligence, The NYPD, Thomas and a new-found ally, race to save their city.
