As they filled the room and managed to calm down, Captain handed them set of files without a word.

"Take your seats, please," he said and then went to the chair behind his desk and sat down.

The young police officers obeyed and waited in silence and some kind of tension because Captain seemed very serious and silent. As Fuller noticed that the attention of his charges was on the highest point he asked.

"What do you know about the case of Angela Snow and the Sect?"

The three officers looked at each other in surprise.

"You mean that Angela Snow who was raped by members of a satanic sect who call themselves The Sect, about six months ago?" Judy asked with wide opened eyes.

"Eight, to be precise." Fuller got quickly in.

Ioki looked at Judy surprised. He didn't know anything about that case.

"The Sect?" he said with a sneer. "Couldn't they think up more challenging name like Children of Devil or something like that?"

"Apparently not," said Doug with a smile.

"So!" Captain interrupted. "Do you know something more?" He looked around. "Judy? Doug?"

"Well…" Doug started. "Not much. Only that it was not found out who exactly did this and if it really was The Sect. There were only suspicions it were they, because of mass of blood of killed cats and hens and some satanic signs…" Doug looked away lost in his thoughts. "…The case was taken by FBI as I remember, don't ask me why".

After Doug finished and the rest of the young officers agreed with him, Captain Fuller said only "Right" clasped his hands against his laps and stood up abruptly. "Yes, that is what I expected you to know". He pointed his finger at the files they hold unconsciously in their hands.

"In those files you will find much more about that case…"

"But why?" asked Judy "I thought they closed it. Because of lack of…"

"Does it mean," Doug didn't wait until she finished, "they handover the case to us?"

"Stop! Stop!" Fuller raised his hands to calm them down. "Could you talk to me one after another and not together in one time, please?" As the officers seemed to calm down he continued: "Yes, Doug. They handover the case to Jump Street. Or rather I'd say they shared it with us."

"Shared? What do they need us for?" asked Ioki.

"As you can read in the files federals conducted that case not because of the poor Angela Snow herself, but because of what she did say. According to her words, the guys who raped her that day were talking about a man who they called GUARDIAN and some action he was preparing for. For us Guardian is only a nickname, doesn't mean anything. But federals had known before a man named GUARDIAN as a drugs dealer they were hunting for months. Moreover their Guardian uses a kind of trade mark on drugs he is smuggling which is reversed David Star".

"The sign of Satanists!" Doug said it with wide open eyes. "A head of a goat."

"That's right, Doug" agreed Captain.

"Smart of them" said Ioki "but what can us 'not important baby-faced cops' do with case where great federals couldn't cope with?" Ioki asked sarcastically.

"Actually, they are right: they can't" the older man answered and looked at them meaningfully. "But you – can."
