" I'm Pria Hotchner, attorney at law. I also happen to be Hank's personal lawyer. The union lawyers seem more concerned with the reputation of the department rather than the officers themselves. So Hank hired me to look out for him. He's been keeping up to date on the case. My sister also happens to be an FBI agent so I've picked up on some of her skills. Now either the CPD doesn't do background checks or they don't care. Hank and Al aren't Woods' first 'victims' as it were. Uh do we have an extra large whiteboard or something, we're going to need it for all the 'victims' as it were."
"I'll get it." Adam said walking towards a conference room.
"Great. Now we have Detectives Lawrence and Finch of the NYPD. Now Lawrence was partnered with Woods on the Uncle Jackson serial case. That case was falsely attributed to one Parson Jackson, hence the media name. However when Lawrence and Finch were paired up about three years after that, the weapon used in all of those murders was found to be the same as in a self defense case against a local teen whose ex broke in and attempted raping said ex. The attacker ex of course was sent to prison and Parson Jackson was then released. Game over right? Not so much. About 6 mouths after the self-defense case, Lawrence was brought up on 2nd murder and obstruction charges by, you guessed it, one Denny Woods. Now under normal circumstances those would be bailable offenses. Not this time. Lawrence's partner was given an ultimatum: testify against his partner or go down with him. Finch testified against his partner. His parter was ultimately convicted and sentenced to life in prison and Finch received the title of 'rat.' After the trial, The NYPD took away Lawrence's pension away. Later that year, his wife divorced him and took the kids with her. A little over a month later officers responded to a fight in progress, and found that Lawrence had killed himself in his cell. Two similar cases also occurred in New York. After that third case Woods requested a transfer. Now I found it suspicious that Woods has transferred though request 6 times in a 40 year career. I have had about half the time on the job that he had and I only requested a transfer once. I had started in the state of New York where my family had lived. However I was the sixth person in my family to join the NYPD. By the time I decided that I wanted to be both a attorney and a cop, my family had established a reputation in New York. I couldn't spend one minute on the job without a camera on me. I eventually requested a transfer to Miami where no one knew who my family was. I looked into the reason behind Woods' requests: Each time he said that he just wanted a fresh start where no one knew who he was. So after discovering this detail I had my sister use the same basic case elements except following Woods on his country wide tour. She found 22 similar cases to the Lawrence/Finch case. The scary thing is after three cases in each state Woods would disappear. No one was even suspicious of what he was doing because three cases is just below the federal mandate to launch a corruption investigation into the IAB officer. There are already two similar cases here in Chicago: Sargent Pearl Valentine and her junior Sargent Angela Ginish of the narcotics and Detectives James Johnson and Angel Doh spelled Doh of the SVU unit. Now both Detective Doh and junior Sargent Ginish are both no longer officers because of the 'rat' tag they received. They are both now working for the CPD union as crime scene analysts. Both Sargent Valentine and Detective Johnson are serving life sentences at cook county correctional. Both were sentenced last week."
"So to save our 'family' we have to interview all these 'victims' and try to get them to come forward." Stated Haley
"Pretty much" I replied.
"I can go talk to the people from narcotics. Narcotics is considered a for-life family. I used to be a part of that family. I still should be a part of that. I can also ask to speak to the team to find out what kind of officers they were." Antonio commented as he grabbed his jacket to leave.
"I can head to Cook County correctional facility and see if the other two will talk to me. I'm a convincing person when I want to be." Haley commented in a similar fashion.
"I can head over to the SVU headquarters and see what their teammates say about their former teammates. They know me now for helping out around the precinct." Kim replied, grabbing her phone to call ahead.
"This is a perfect start. The rest of you see if you can check in with ci's to see if there's any word on the street about any of this nonsense. I'm going to actually going to head to the FBI field office here in Chicago. My sister was going to send files over to them on the other victims as well as victim interviews with the officers on their behavior."
A/N: there's chapter two! Things are starting to heat up. The next chapter is going to be multiple parts probably for different points of views than the past ones. I might even have a chapter from the point of view of our villain! That's right people. My muse seems to want me to write a chapter form Woods point of view.
