Chapter Eight: Sargent- How many did we lose and how can I help?

Pria POV

Riley and I were currently hooked up to the machine that would take our blood to save Atwater's life. I smile at my sister as she is in the same state I am. I see the rest of the team coming in and hugging us and saying thank you for everything. Then I noticed there was a black band around each of their badges.

"How many?"

"In Chicago alone or across the country?"

"Chicago alone."

"25 from five different precincts have died, and 18 are still critical where the next 24 hours will decide. Yet 12 more are stable and out of the grassland as it were."

"Don't worry. We should have a list of suspects soon. I want to help."

"Figured you might sis. I got you temporarily reinstated to full authority. I know you've been consulting on cases, but this way you can come into the field with us, and work interviews and interrogations. I know you miss it."

"Sometimes I do. I should be about done with my donation so ready to motor."

"You know it sis"

"Oh my tablet just buzzed. Can someone hand it to me? Thanks. Ok here we go. Meet our likely shooter candidates. Emeka Hughes this guy has a rap sheet as a kid as long as his name. His sister was murdered three years ago by a illegal immigrant. Of course he blames the CPD for the man getting away with it because Chicago is a sacuary city so the immigrants responsible will never be arrested. Don Sutton how a 17 year old got a high powered gun I will never know. His mother was murdered when he was young. Favorite subjects in school are PE, biology and sports science especially, you guessed it, shooting. Heath Macrae her friend Elle was murdered. After that father left, leaving him with his addict mother. After that he resulted to petty crime to survive. He blamed the police for his new life. Cole McQueen his father left after neighbors kept calling 911 on the couple multiple times. He blamed police for his fathers leaving. And lastly Esther Ahmed. No clues on why she'd be in on it but her name popped up so she was involved somehow."

We'll head back to the precinct and figure things out, I know we will."
