The briefing
Donovan walked silently down the stairs stopped and said "Good afternoon, Cody bring up the latest case file, we have been asked to look into A SWAT team that may have gone rogue. There have been several suspicious deaths including the death of a federal CI. We have been asked to go in and find the member of members that have gone over. Monica," said with a flourish as he relinquished the floor to her.
"This team is tight and close knit like the C.S.C. cops. It is highly unlikely but is possible that the entire team has gone bad. We're looking at maybe two or three rotten apples. Now what makes this team so different is their current leader" she said clicking her slide remote.
An image popped up, obviously a surveillance photo. The image was of a woman in SWAT fatigues stripping an MP-5.
"Meet Valinda Alexandra Kilmann: six feet, 175, blue eyes, black hair. She is the current SWAT commander; what makes her special is the fact that she is a former navy SEAL. Valinda is smart, tough, and in training she blows all these guys away; takes no crap from anybody. She had a problem once with one of her team, they came to blows he left the team in disgrace no other team would have him after that incident. I don't see her as an assassin, not with her background. Her psyche profile suggests a profound sense of justice. She kills only when absolutely necessary, she hasn't had a single questionable shoot since she joined the force out 25 incidents."
"Why did she leave the SEALS, they never quit without a fight or a damn good reason?" Donovan questioned.
"According to the parts of the file that were not blacked out, she was honorable discharged after four years of service with an active team. She passed BUD/SEAL training with flying colors. According to the file she was going to be court-martialed, but was discharged instead. She probably cut a deal of some kind; I couldn't get any details." Monica clicked again and looked at each of her teammates. "This is Jack Kincaid and Marcus Cutler, she said as a picture of two men popped on screen. Kincaid is five- nine, one fifty and brown eyed and dark haired. Cutler is five-ten blonde haired and blue eyed. Both these men are adrenaline junkies, extreme sports, and mountain climbing, and skydiving, stuff like that. These two are like brothers, inseparable; their families even get together on the weekends. I like these two as our guys they break a few too many rules to get the job done." Monica clicked again and a new photo popped up this one with four men in it. "Meet Anthony "Pup" Mercer, Sean McClain, Caesar Villarreal, and James Joseph Butler, sometimes call "Wild Bill". Mercer is a crack shot an entry man, he got his nickname from cutler because he follows Kilmann around like a puppy, bit of a crush their I think. Mercer and Butler are both country boys from Nebraska and Texas. They both have white knight complexes to beat the band. Mercer grew up in a predominately female household. He won't go against Kilmann, but if I'm wrong and she is the one, he may go along with her. McClain is a real cowboy, hothead, so much so he got himself shot the last time they went out. I don't think it's him he has no contacts and he's too far outside the line to do this. Caesar Villarreal is a different story he and butler are the teams Snipers. Villarreal is in hock up to his eyeballs, got a little gambling problem. So that's the team now let me show your gold shield contacts, that's how I think their getting their contracts someone in the detective bureau maybe Major Crimes. This is Leon Weller," she said as she clicked the remote, the man in the resulting picture looked a bit a like a weasel. " And he is a weasel. He has 15 IA investigations in the last 2years, and he is very much in debt.' Monica gave a nod to Donovan as she gave the floor back to him.
"So who's going in?" Jake asked, he had been fairly quiet this briefing ; he figured it would be himself or Alex, but he didn't think his ribs could take the pounding.
"I am." Donovan said plainly, your ribs are still severely bruised and your ability to move quickly has been impaired. Alex I want you to go in as a detective, your target is Weller, get him to trust you so that he'll let you in on the contracts. All right let's get to work , Cody I want you to bug everyone involved with this, I want total coverage Audio and visual. In their homes, in their office, anywhere they frequent, I want to see them. He said with a hand on Cody's shoulder.
"You got it boss man, you want me to bug their cereal too?" Cody wisecracked. Donovan just raised an eyebrow at him.
