1 HOUR EARLIER
Jules finished changing out of her civilian clothes and then walked out to the common area.
"I bet Jules would like to go after the shift," she heard Ed say.
"Go where?" she asked.
"A guy's doing a show. A hypnotist named Frederick Dustin," Sam answered.
"No, thanks. I don't like people messing with my head," Jules replied. I got my share of that when I was a kid and on duty. I like to keep my mind intact, thank you very much, she thought to herself.
"Oh, come on. It'll be fun," Sam urged.
"I said 'No'," Jules snapped.
"Okay," Sam said in a hurt tone. Then, the alarm blared.
"Active Shooter at 3940 Kensworth Complexes. Team 1 Deploy." Within moments, they were at the location: a warehouse. Once there, Ed gave the silent command for them to split up. Sam led the way as Jules followed him, her eyes darting left and right as they walked up the stairs of the building.
"Winnie, we need details," Ed stated.
"Getting them, Sir," the dispatcher, Winnie, responded as her fingers flew over the keyboard. "Okay, name's Roger Styman, from all appearances he's usually quiet, friendly, all-around nice guy," she continued a few minutes later.
"So, when did his true colors come out?" Jules asked.
"Hold on. Let me get there," Winnie answered. She frowned as she typed. "Whoa, this is weird," she commented.
"Talk to us, Winnie. What's going on?" Greg wondered.
"His change in attitude didn't start until he took in a show with some friends. It says here that soon after the show, his personality took a complete one-eighty: snapping at people, blowing off work…it's all very strange," Winnie told them.
"Let me guess: he went to see that hypnotist guy that Sam's so hot on," Jules said, resulting in an indignant exclamation from her ex.
"Frederick Dustin. Yeah, that's the show he went to," Winnie confirmed. "But it couldn't possibly be related because his friends went to the exact same show and they didn't go off the deep end," she continued.
"Describe 'Going off the deep end'," Ed requested.
"At first, it was just the little things that I mentioned, but then all of a sudden, he breaks into Kensworth Complex and shoots his boss. When the building security found him, he let out another shot, and then started babbling about not being able to stop himself and complaining of a headache," Winnie told them. Jules inhaled sharply.
"Not again," she whispered. That sounds like a spell Rita or Zedd would do, she thought to herself. Hearing her words, Sam looked at her in confusion. The teams continued to search.
"All clear!"
"All clear!" San and Jules cautiously opened a door leading to an office. Then, the man whirled around and pointed his gun at them. Jules inhaled sharply.
"Boss…Jules and I found him."
