At the police station, Roebuck was returning as chief of police. He entered the building to applause from every officer, particularly Will. After the welcome died down, Roebuck headed straight toward him. "It's good to see you again, Will," he said. "Same here," Will replied. "Your replacement didn't do such a good job. It was quite a relief when the door opened for you to come back."
"So what's the big news around here?" Roebuck asked. "We got a tip that there'll be a high profile drug deal tonight. I'm part of the team that's headed there. There might be a little excitement." Roebuck's face turned serious. "Listen Will, be careful out there. I don't want to lose you right after I got back." "Don't worry, sir. I will be."
Will's cell phone rang, and he found Helen on the other end. "Honey, I have something to tell you. It's about Joan."
Aaaaaaaaaaaa
"So what was with that look at Rove?" Grace asked Luke as they walked home. Luke said, "He cheated on Joan. That's why they broke up." "I know," Grace replied without thinking. Instantly she realized her mistake. She turned to Luke to see him stop in his tracks. "When did you find out?" he asked.
Grace sighed inwardly. She'd started to talk about it, there was no going back now. "He told me a few hours before Joan found out." Luke didn't move. "And you never told me? How could you not tell me? She's my sister!" Then his expression turned angrier. "Wait a minute. You said she found out about it. Does that mean she didn't find out from you?"
Grace put on the most apologetic face she could muster. "Yes, it does." "Jesus, Grace! Why didn't you tell her? I thought you two were friends!" Grace hesitated a little. "I've known Rove my whole life. It was a confusing moment." Luke's expression didn't waver. "So that was more important than letting Joan know she was dating a cheating bastard?" "I was going to tell her, she just found out on her own before I could." "Well, seeing as you just said you had a few hours, you'll excuse me if I don't believe that." Luke walked off. Once she was alone, Grace felt a single tear slip down her face.
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Detective Carlisle munched on a twinkie as the officers awaited the perps. Will continued the rant he had been having for a good while now. "What, was my daughter just not good enough for him? I hope I don't ever see him again, or I don't know what I'll do." Carlisle said, "Okay, Will, we get it. It's getting close to the time we were told, so could you turn it down a little?" "Okay, I'm sorry," Will said. "You're right, the job is what's important now."
They silently watched as a group of men entered the alley. As soon as the money and the drugs were both visible they moved in, shouting at everyone that they were under arrest. Almost in slow motion, Will saw one of the men panic. Then he reached into his jacket, pulled out a gun, and fired…
