Chapter 2 Welcome to Seattle

Agent Bowers said his goodbyes while picking up his belongings. "We'll be in touch." He said, handing Tom a card. "That's my private number, so call if you need anything. Anytime, day or night. If things start to go wrong, get out and get out fast. We don't want to loose anyone else over this case, got it?"

"Yes sir." Doug answered. He shook Bowers' hand and watched as he left the chapel. Turning to his captain, he stated, "I can't believe the Feds want our help on this one."

"I'm with you Doug, something isn't right here." Tom said. "Captain, is there something he isn't telling us?"

Fuller sat down in the chair across from his young officers. Rubbing a hand over his tired face, he sighed. "Guys, this thing goes pretty deep. We're talking some high ranking officers involved with this Vinnie guy. No one is exactly sure how many of the Seattle PD are actually involved. The Feds even suspect the mayor is involved in this."

"Shit, the fallout over all of this is going to affect the whole city." Doug stated with a whistle. "I mean, what if we prove that the mayor is in on this? The shit will hit the fan for sure."

"And if we prove that officers are involved, we'll be at the bottom of everyone's Christmas list this year." Tom said with a sigh. Leaning his head back on his chair, Tom closed his eyes. "So coach, where do we go from here?"

Fuller glanced over at his youngest officer with a worried look on his face. "You guys leave for Seattle tomorrow morning. You'll start in Vice Special on Thursday. The plan is for you guys to get in with the undercover unit working on Vinnie. We suspect a few of them are actually working for him."

"Great, not only do we have to watch our backs with Vinnie, but some of our own as well." Tom said. Opening his eyes, he sat up and looked at his captain. "What's our cover going to be?"

"You guys are transferring in from Jump Street. Your story is that you're getting too old looking for Jump Street now and the mayor here passed on your recommendations. The rest of your cover to get in with Vinnie is up to Seattle PD." Fuller handed each of them a file on Carlton. "Read over these. Memorize them front to back. You can't afford to make any mistakes. Mistakes are a sure way to end up dead with this guy."

Tom and Doug stood up and began to make their way out of the chapel. They had almost made it to the door when their captain spoke once again.

"Hanson, Penhall. You guys be careful. I don't want to attend the funerals of my best two officers."

Tom and Doug looked back at Fuller and nodded. Tom sent him a mock salute and said, "Don't worry coach. We won't screw this up."

"It's not you guys I'm worried about." Fuller stated. "Keep in touch."

"Okey dokey." Tom said as he and his partner left the building. Once outside, he turned to his partner and asked, "You want to come over and go over these?"

"Got any beer?" Doug asked, a smile playing across his lips.

Tom shook his head and laughed. "Yeah."

"Okay, I'll follow you over."

Tom shook his head once again and made his way over to his mustang. Well, if there's one guy that I'd want to be with me when I'm going up against a mob boss, it'd be Doug Penhall….even with a few beers in him, Tom thought as he laughed to himself. Tom climbed into the mustang and put the key into the ignition. He put it into gear and pulled out of the parking lot with his best friend right behind him.

It was 7:00 am when Doug Penhall and Tom Hanson walked through the doors at Seattle PD. The department was already alive with the sounds of officers hard at work. Tom was nearly run over by a guy being dragged in in handcuffs by two plainclothes officers as he stood next to the front desk. He stepped back and watched as the prisoner kicked and fought against the officers.

"I want my lawyer asshole. I didn't do a thing." The prisoner screamed.

One of the officers laughed. "Sure John, that's why we found that heroin in your car and almost 1000 in cash in your pocket."

"Hey, fuck you. It isn't mine. I told you that I was borrowing my friend's car."

The officer sat the man down in the chair next to his desk and then peered into his face. "Save it John. Your story is bullshit. We caught you red-handed and now you're going to jail. So spare me the lies and attitude. It's not going to change anything." Looking up, the officer noticed the two men standing at the front desk. He quickly undid John's handcuffs and handcuffed him to his desk drawer. "Stay here and be good." He said before making his way over to the desk.

"Can I help you guys?" he asked, looking them up and down.

"I'm Officer Doug Penhall, this is my partner Officer Tom Hanson."

"Penhall and Hanson… Oh yeah, the two from Jump Street over in Vancouver." He held out his hand and said, "I'm Detective Ethan Hayes. This is my partner Detective Alex Wainwright." Tom and Doug shook both officers' hands.

"Is it always this hectic around here?" Doug asked.

"Oh, this is a slow morning actually. You should see us when we're really busy." Ethan said with a laugh.

Doug let out a whistle as he surveyed the busy room. Phones were ringing off the hook and officers were running in and out of the room with prisoners and paperwork. "Jeez, this is a lot faster pace than Jump Street."

Ethan looked at Alex and laughed. "Welcome to Seattle boys."

Okay, I'm hoping that I'm not boring anyone to death. I promise this is going to pick up, but I just need to build my up to it first. Then I promise, lots of action and torture and all that good stuff. Please send me a review and let me know what you all think. Thanks!
