Morning

The alarm rang into Yuri's ears like a drill, he sleepily opened his eyes and rose from bed. He looked at the clock "six thirty A:M:" Yuri thought, and sleepily went to his closet taking out his suit and coat. He headed to the bathroom and left the clothes hanging up besides the towel he would be using. But first he needed his morning workout and breakfast, after all he needed to be in tip top shape when protecting his country and sister. Doing 100 push-ups, 100 sit-ups, and 100 squats had used to cause his body extreme soreness and pain but now he felt like he was almost ready to start doing 150 of these. He'd hoped that someday he would be able to do 1000 of them, he went to his fridge, opened it and took out a couple of eggs. Yuri hated doing this but he broke the two eggs into a cup and drank it. He used to throw it back up but had trained himself to swallow and ignore the taste with sometimes mixed results. He then got a shower, brushed his teeth, and shaved and was out the door within a flash. The sky was blue, the sun was shining, and the air was cool on the perfect autumn morning as Yuri made his way to work.

Yesterday the first lieutenant had told him that they were going to be working on a very important case together which had Yuri excited, he'd always liked working together with the man and the fact that this was important probably meant Yuri would be getting a promotion if he performed well. He arrived at the SSS building and checked his watch, it was nearly eight o' clock "better hurry" he thought to himself. He went through the door showing the "receptionist" his "civil servant" badge. In the changing room he opened his locker, took out his uniform and put it on he then scanned the locker and saw the picture of him and his sister that he always kept in it "love you bunches" he thought to himself and smiled, not only was he working a case that might get him promoted today he was going to have coffee with his sis tomorrow which to him was a perfect weekend. Of course he would go back to work sunday because the scum of the earth did not take sundays off either so why should he?

The lieutenant's office was as it always was, clean and smelling like air freshener. The lieutenant himself sat at his desk writing on some papers which didn't concern Yuri "Sir reporting for duty!" he said, saluting him "ah Briar good to see you please sit down" Yuri did as he was told. "Good to see you as well sir" Yuri said smiling, the lieutenant smiled back "well now that pleasantries are out of the way i'm sure you want to hear about this new case that i've been so cryptic about" Yuri nodded the lieutenants face turned serious. "Well, about 2 days ago now the newborn child of senator Robert Rose was taken from his very home, we don't know how but we do know that she had to have been taken between 6 P:M: and 7 P:M:"

Yuri was shocked, whoever kidnapped this child must have been very skilled. Robert Achen was a man who prided himself on his security cameras and armed security were stationed everywhere around his mansion. "Sir but how did they get through everything?" Yuri asked "From what we found an EMP was used around 6:02 then whoever they killed several of Achen's security with a nine millimeter, they then broke through the window of the baby's room and took her" the lieutenant replied. "However we do have one lead, we found the bullet casings and traced them back to a local gun store, we of course interrogated him and he gave us the name and address of the one who bought the bullets, one Joseph Merit of whom we had arrested and taken here early this morning."

"I assume he didn't take the child?" Yuri said, "right" the lieutenant said "he keeps claiming innocence stating that he hasn't done anything wrong which is why right now I need you to have a "talk" with him." Yuri got an evil smile on his face "of course sir "talking" is what I do best." The lieutenant smiled as well "do what you wish to him however do not "talk" to him so much that he is unable to speak, we need him to tell us who he is working for and hopefully where the child is." Yuri and the lieutenant stood up and walked to the interrogation room "he's right in there I'll be watching through the window, make me proud Briar." "Yes Sir" Yuri said saluting him once more before entering.
