Reme got the call at about 10 p.m. that she needed to get down to the 55th precinct by Lt. Sweresky that something happened that she needed to be there. Her and Davenport finished up what they were doing and headed back to the 55. When she got there, she saw Sully and Davis standing outside the Lt.'s office. "What's up guys?" "We don't know we were hoping you could tell us!" "Actually Lieu called me down here said it was urgent!" "Deputy Director Reme!" She heard Sgnt. Christopher yell her name. "What's this all about Sgnt?" "Please, Deputy Director come with me." She followed Christopher into the Lt.'s office. To her dismay when she walked in she saw who was seated in there and knew this wasn't good. Reme walked in and glared at Cruz cause she knew that bitch was behind this. "Okay, what the hell is this all about?" Reme said heated. "Deputy Director, we have a situation here and I feel it would be better diffused if you were involved" "Okay so what is this situation, Lt!" "I think Sgnt. Cruz should explain." He said pointing at Cruz who sat at the far end of the room. Reme walked over and sat at the edge of the Lt.'s desk so she was right in front of Cruz. "Deputy Director, Officer Boscorelli and I were checking out one of the names on the list. A Seth Branstrom. When we arrived Officer Yokas and Guessler were already there. We went in to find that Yokas was with the landlord upstairs by Mr. Branstrom's apartment and Officer Guessler was questioning the wife. Boscorelli took point on questioning the wife while I headed upstairs to assist Yokas in her questioning of Mr. Waters." Reme noticed Yokas's eyes widen when she heard the word "assist" come out of Cruz's mouth. Reme's attention went right back to Cruz as to not alert Cruz to Yokas's reaction to the story.

"So as we proceeded to further question Mr. Water's, I felt it was best that we get a look inside the man's apartment. Since he was the landlord and if we had his consent then a warrant would not be needed. Mr. Water agreed and I proceeded inside and that's when Mr. Branstrom arrived and caused a situation." Reme stared at Cruz, arching her brow and then turned to Yokas and said, "Do you corroborate Sgnt. Cruz's description of tonight's events so far, Officer Yokas?" Reme looked over at Faith. Faith looked unsure on how to react. She knew that what Cruz said was mostly true except for the fact that she did not assist in the inquiry rather bullied her way in and basically tricked Mr. Water's into giving her permission to enter Mr. Branstrom's apartment by saying he was a murder suspect. But Yokas knew that if she said this about Cruz, she would be stirring up a whole lot of shit that she didn't need right now. She would decided she would deal with what Cruz did outside of this.

"Yes, Deputy Director, but after that I left to check on Guessler. I felt that Sgnt. Cruz had the situation under control and as I went downstairs, that is when Mr. Branstrom arrived. Officer Boscorelli began to question Mr. Branstrom and Mr. Branstrom became very irate and refused to talk until Officer Boscorelli told him what it was all about. As Officer Boscorelli continued the questioning, Mr. Branstrom headed to his apartment not listening to the officer and chiming on that he use to be cop that he knew his rights and that is when he found Sgnt. Cruz in his apartment and proceeded to scream at us to get out that we had no right to be in there without a warrant or his consent. Sgnt. Cruz made him aware since he did not own this property out right and he rented that the landlord had the right to allow a search of the premises, which Mr. Waters had done!" "Okay, so what happened with Mr. Branstrom? "Well apparently Mr. Branstrom has a little problem with some displaced anger and he became physical with Officer Boscorelli when Officer Boscorelli tried to calm him down and explain the situation. So Mr. Branstrom is in lock up right now about to be charged with assaulting a police officer" "Really, well that's interesting!" She looked over at Bosco who just sat there and nodded. "The jag-off took a swing at me. So I placed him under arrest mostly just to keep him from hurtin' himself or anybody else." Reme nodded. "The thing is Deputy Director, that now Mr. Branstrom is claiming that these officers used extreme force and is accusing us of police brutality and tarnishing his reputation by saying he is a murder!" "What!" Reme snapped at the Lt. "How the hell did he come to the conclusion that he was a murder!" Reme said very angrily. "I can explain that Deputy Director," Cruz said. Reme snapped her head and looked fiercely at Cruz, "This better be good, Cruz!!!" "Apparently Mr. Waters was confused about why we were present. I had told him that we wanted to talk to Mr. Branstrom about some stuff that might help us in our investigation about the murder. I guess he just misinterpreted me because when he asked Mr. Water's why he allowed us to be there Mr. Waters said that he thought he was helping the police catch a murder. See so it was a simple misunderstanding that got out of hand." "Oh, is that so!" Reme shot back, knowing full well this story was a crock and would definitely get to the bottom of it but right now it would have to wait. "Alright, you know I really don't need to deal with this petty shit right now. Okay so this is what I'm going to do. Bosco, do you feel this man is a potential suspect?" "No, I do not. He works as a security officer in the airport. There uniforms have white shirts and the dye used for them is completely different then that of police and his alibi is solid. I checked it out. His mother is in the hospital so he's been in Upstate New York at her place!" "Okay, could you find it in the kindness of your heart to drop the assault charges?" "Yeah, I could do that!" "Good, there, now that's solved. Now Sgnt. Cruz next time you better make damn clear when you question anybody pertaining to this case that you make them fully aware that they are not under no circumstances deemed a suspect until I say so, is that clear?" Reme sharply said this to Cruz. "Yes Deputy Director, I understand." "Alright, I'll deal with Mr. Branstrom and the charges he thinks he is going to bring on you. Don't worry it wont happen. And with that said I'm done" With that Reme left and met up with Davenport who was outside waiting in the truck. "What the hell was that about? "Shit. Pure shit. That Sgnt. Cruz, huh man I'm going to love taking her down!" "Why what did she do, now?" " I'll tell you later. Did anybody call?" "Yeah, Det. Langley from Homicide they have info on the vics. I had them fax everything to your office." "Good I just need to deal with something real quick. Look you go ahead, I'll get a ride there" "Yeah, yeah, yeah." Davenport smirked and agreed. Reme headed inside to deal with Mr. Branstrom.

When she got to lock up Bosco was there dropping the assault charges and smiled when he saw her. She smiled back and proceeded to introduce herself to Mr. Seth Branstrom who was shouting at the top of his lungs. By the time the conversation was over, Mr. Branstrom looked liked a scared little boy and agreed that it was a misunderstanding and no charges would be brought up against any officers involved. Reme got Mr. Branstrom a cab and paid for it deciding that's the least they could do for this poor guy. Bosco came up behind her outside and said in a low voice, "What did you say to him, he looked like he was going to piss himself?" "Well now if I told you I would have to kill ya!" She said in a sultry voice, turning her head slightly. "So it's like that, huh!" "Yeah seems so." Reme said laughing. "Hey where you going now?" "Actually I was going to ask you if I could possibly have a ride to my office?" "Sure let me get my stuff, I'll be right out." Bosco went into the locker and realized he had just walked into something bad. Yokas was there and so was Cruz and they both looked like they were about kill one another. "Faith is everything okay?" "Yeah sure Bos, just peachy!" She said getting her stuff from her locker. Cruz's face turned from a growl into an evil grin. "Don't worry Boscorelli she's just fine. Remember what I said Yokas. Good night all."

Cruz said smiling and heading out and thinking to herself. "Soon Yokas you won't be a problem anymore. Better yet." Cruz got out her cell phone, dialed a number, "Yeah, it's me. I got a job for you."

"What the hell was that all about Faith?" "Nothing Bosco, look I'm beat I'm going to head home!" "Faith come on don't lie to me. I know that something's up!" "Look Bosco trust me everything is fine." Faith said sternly. "Okay Faith but you know I'm still your friend right I'm still here if you need me for anything, anything at all!!" "I know Bos." She said putting her hand in his and squeezing. "Look I gotta go." Faith turned and saw Reme waved and headed home. Reme watched them both leave the precinct and became aware that the conversation was serious. As Bosco walked up to Reme, she said, 'Is everything okay with Faith?" "I don't know. I just walked in on her and Cruz in the locker room and well it was pretty intense!!" "Huh really, do you know what it might be about?" "Where should I began. There not exactly each others biggest fan but I've never seen it this bad." Bosco said shaking his head. Reme knew. She knew that it was about today's events and this was probably the straw that broke both their camels back and didn't like the feelings she was getting about it. She would definitely talk to Faith about this.

As Faith walked home, she went over what had happened in the locker room. Faith had approached Cruz and flat out told the Srgnt. that she knew she was lying and just because she had corroborated her story didn't mean she was going to get away with it. Cruz snickered and made her aware that anything Faith would say could easily be dismissed since Cruz was a superior officer. But Faith made Cruz realize she wouldn't go to the department she had much bigger guns in mind. Cruz knew she meant Reme. And that's when Cruz flat out threatened Faith. Faith didn't have time to react because that's when Bosco walked in. Faith knew Cruz was serious but that didn't matter to her. She was going to tell Reme but not until this case was solved. Just then she heard a screeching of tires and out of the corner of her eye she spotted a gun and just instinctively reacted. All she heard next was a loud bang and felt a sharp pain and blacked out after that.
