Emotionally Involved
Greg sighed as they followed drove towards the Queensway in an attempt to jump ahead and intersect with the last known location of the car.
"Boss 911 has just reported a car matching our description as being on fire behind an old warehouse. There are reports the man you are looking for has shot out a security camera that was still functioning outside the warehouse. He has also reportedly shot in the leg one security guard."
"Thank you Winnie, keep us posted." Greg announced over the Com
"This guy seems to want to keep us on our feet. What if this isn't about this Kimberly Hart person but is another personal attack on the SRU?"
"I am getting that vibe as well. Kidnapping an SRU officer and then driving around the city shooting his gun off at random places." Greg said in reply to Ed.
Pulling into the Warehouse the fire dept. was already on scene putting out the fire on the car. The car was a total loss however they could make out the License plate that matched the number.
A security guard ran over to them. "Our Security camera caught most of the incident until he shot it off the wall."
"That's good, can you show Constable Scarlatti here where he can access your network?" Greg asked, "Sam you go with them."
Spike and Sam headed off with the Security guard while Greg went to the ambulance to question the guy who got shot.
"I am Sargent Greg Parker, what can you tell me about the incident?" Greg asked
"My partner was doing rounds in the warehouse. It is mostly unused but there is always two guards patrolling it. The owners don't want the facility to fall apart; they are hoping to get some more use out of it. I was out here in the parking lot on a smoke break. I had my radio turned off because the battery was getting low so my partner had no idea what was going on until he heard the gun shots." The guard explained, "That car pulled up and this man who was nice as anyone came up to me and offered me cash to use my car. I refused because the car belonged to my neighbor. He pulled out a gun and threatened me. I tried to reach for my radio however he took it and threw it across the parking lot while threatening me. I gave him the keys and then he opened his trunk and pulled a woman out of it and untied her legs, he then forced her to walk to my car where he put her back in the trunk and tied her again." The guy tried to explain fast as he ignored the pain that was shooting through his leg. "While they were walking the woman started doing something with her hands as they passed the camera, he noticed and threatened her and shot my leg before shooting another round into the camera. He mentioned something about the next bullet going into her the next time she tried anything stupid."
"Thank you for your help, you are going to be just fine." Greg reassured, "Do you know the license plate number of your car that will help us greatly."
"I am sorry I don't. I borrowed the car from my neighbor just this morning because my car needed to go into the shop and he was on his way to catch a flight to Australia. His flight doesn't land for another three hours." The guard explained, "It is however a Dark blue 2007 Chevy Cobalt four door Sedan."
"That will help us in locating it, thank you." Greg nodded as he took the information and returned the mobile command.
"Winnie, "Can you have all eyes looking out for a 2007 Chevy Cobalt in Dark Blue?"
"On it boss."
"Where are you Jules?" Greg said shaking his head, technically they should have handed this call over however currently they were the only ones on patrol at this time.
Sam raced back to the van and turned his radio off, "Boss, Spike and I found something and I think Jules was signing the code to her lock box at her house. I recognized one of the numbers at the beginning of the feed because one day she was opening it while I was visiting her during her recovery; I had brought in her mail for her. She yelled at me for looking so I only saw the first number that time. Four-fifteen-nine something the camera got shot before she could finish her message."
"Take Wordy and go to her house and see if you can find anything, oh and the last number is likely ninety-seven. That Dr. Oliver is listed as having a thirteen year old daughter and he is convinced that this Kim and Jules is the same person. If so that little girls thirteenth birthday was this past week which would put her born in ninety-seven." Greg said casually as he muted his own.
"So you are officially linking these two stories Sir?" Sam asked
"I don't want to but the coincidence is there and right now we need to find Jules, this man has proven that he will shoot if he feels threatened and he has already threatened people more than once today." Greg said shaking his head, "Besides all the information we have would match at this time."
Greg randomly picked up the cellphone that they had found in Jules car to find that there was a text message on it.
"I am on a flight that will get in just before midnight. I will find a place to stay and meet with you and your team and only your team tomorrow morning about the Kim/ Jules thing."
Greg's phone rang and when he answered it he regretted it. "Good afternoon Chief, what can I do for you?"
"Is there any reason why you and your team are out chasing after a missing person and tying up resources?"
"Sir this guy has shot a person and the missing person in question is Constable Callahan." Greg responded, "We responded to a hot call and the guy has fired off two rounds since we were called in."
"I don't care if it is the Prime Minister who is being held hostage at this time, it is the fact that you are over stepping your boundaries. You are to return to base and resume your normal patrol until this guy fires another weapon or threatens any more civilians the normal uniforms can handle him."
"Yes sir." Greg answered as he stepped out of the command unit as he hung up.
"Officially we are hanging up our uniforms on this badge and we are to reconvene at the SRU until this guy escalates to the point where he is threatening more people than just our teammate."
"The Guy shot a security officer, that doesn't count?" Leah questioned
"Apparently not enough to have us chasing this guy all over town. The uniforms are going to pick up looking for him and we will be called in if he escalates." Greg apologized to the team
Greg pressed his ear piece, "Sam, Wordy when you get a chance to return to base, we have been called back in but don't come home empty handed, we are all going to need a Timmy's Cream no Sugar."
"Understood, we will bring back everyone's usual order."
