Bob and Jerry were called to JR's house the next morning once his body was found by his housekeeper. The medical examiner told them that he was shot the same as the others. They were given the note.
"We will meet soon." Bob read it out loud. "What is he trying to do?"
"I don't know. Have we got anything on the badge?" Jerry asked as Shawn walked up with Hunter.
"Nothing. Shawn, Hunter." Bob said when they did.
"I can't believe this. Everyone loved JR." Shawn said.
"I know. It has to be someone we know. That is the only way they could get this close."
"I agree but how do we find out whom?"
"We need to look at former cops and someone who is well known too."
"What makes you say that?" Jerry asked.
"He killed rookies. Those rookies had to know who he was and how well known he was." Hunter replied.
"That's a good idea. Let's get started on that." Bob said.
"So, you're going to call Randy and John?" Shawn asked. "They are the leads on this."
"Randy yeah, I'm going to call him. I don't want to have to make John leave Kallie right now."
"Bob, I know Kallie is your daughter but John is a cop. He has to continue with this."
"You're right." Bob got out his cell phone and called Randy and John. He explained things and both said they would be there.
John sighed when he got Bob's call. He knew it was his job but he hated to leave Kallie. He turned to her and saw that she was awake.
"Go. You need to find out who is doing this." Kallie said. "Krista is coming and bringing Henry to see me."
"Alright." He walked over to his wife's bedside. "I love you."
"I love you too." She smiled as he leaned down to kiss her. "Now, go."
He kissed her again and headed out. He called Krista on the way to the scene and she said she was on her way to see Kallie. He soon arrived at the scene and was greeted by Bob and Randy. They looked over to scene and found a footprint in the dirt. They hoped it belong to the killer.
Krista arrived at the hospital with Henry and Lily. Ted was duty that day. She headed to Kallie's room and found her awake.
"Hey sis. How are you?" Krista said walking.
"I'm good and I will get better." She smiled. "Now, give me my baby."
Krista laughed as she carefully handed Henry to her.
"Hey, baby. Mommy missed you so much." Kallie said holding her son close.
"He missed you too." Krista said sitting down and putting her daughter on her lap. "He was good though."
"I'm glad. I can't wait to get out of here and back to my family."
"I know. I hear JR got shot last night."
"I know. Kris, what is going on? I'm not a cop yet this person went after me."
"I don't know if he wanted to hurt you. I think he wanted to scare John. Kal, you are married to a cop and the daughter and sister of cops."
"I know. I was so scared that but I knew I had to protect the kids. I put Max and Camryn in the panic room got Henry put him there."
"Why didn't you stay in the panic room too?"
"John hadn't hooked up the phone yet. I had to call for help. I went in the kitchen to call 911 and call John. That's when I was shot."
"Kal, you could have died. Please don't do that again."
"Kris, I don't plan too." She smiled holding Henry close.
"Good."
Krista stayed with Kallie for a few hours and then she took the kids home. She would have Henry until Kallie came home from the hospital. She called Annie and told her that Kallie was better.
Randy and John looked over the evidence. So far, they couldn't figure out whose badge it was and whose footprints. They knew the footprints belonged to a size 9 but that was it. They had been looking through the retired and fired cops who were well known in the department. So far, they had four possible people: Mark Calloway, Michael Cole, Chris Jericho and Glen Jacobs.
Mark, Chris and Glen had retired after getting shot in the line of duty and Michael was fired after it was found he was taking bribes from the mob. All four were well known in the department.
The killer stalked his next victim. He watched them talk to the waitress while on meal break. He watched their partner talk too. He had only wanted to kill the one but he couldn't resist shooting both. The statement it would make. He watched them pay and walk out to their car. He knew all of the cops were on alert but he knew that they had no idea who he was. He calmly walked up to them. He wasn't going to say anything to them.
"Hey, cop." He yelled.
Both turned and he aimed his gun at one. He took the shot and they fell. He turned to the other cop and aimed. He took one shot and then felt something hit him. He realized that he had been shot. He looked and saw that he had managed to shoot both cops. He slowly made his way back to his car. He knew he needed medical attention. He drove to her house. He knew she would help him.
When he got there, he went inside and she got out her medical stuff and took the bullet out. She cleaned the wound and gave him some pain medication.
"What happened?" She asked him.
"You know what."
"I thought you weren't doing this. You said you let it go."
"I can't. Not until Bob Orton pays. I want him to suffer and his family to suffer. Now they will."
