It's Wednesday morning, Riley and her partner Sgt. Dominique Lane are about to go and arrest a known crack dealer. Things are about to go south.
Riley: did the warrant come in for Jack Adams yet?
Dominique: waiting on it
Riley: what is taking so long? It's a simple warrant to arrest a crack dealer nothing fancy

Jack Adams is standing there with his back toward the street selling crack to two customers. When Riley and Dominique pull up and get out
Riley: Jack Adams your under arrest for dealing crack. Stand where you are with you hands up
Jack: Detectives what can I do for you?
He starts moving towards them
Dominique: you were told to stay put with you hands in the air
Jack pulls out a 9mm semi-automatic and starts firing. One bullet slams through Riley's left shoulder and another one slams into Dominique's chest. Riley empties her clip into Jack Adams and he slumps to the ground dead.
Riley: Dominique you hold on dam it
Dominique: you were the best partner I had my entire career gonna miss you kid
Riley: don't you dare die on me
Dominique takes his last breath and his eyes close for the final time, Riley is kneeling on the ground with Dominique's head in her lap when back up arrives on scene
Capt Mathews: Lt. McNally what happened?

He hands her a wrapped package and she opens it. It's a picture frame with the entire 12th Precinct hanging out in the bull pen goofing off. Jinx (Kayla's dad) and Dominique are in the picture as well. Riley starts tearing up
Riley: thank you this means the world to me
Capt: one more and this is from Sgt. Lane it was on his desk
He hands her another package and she opens it to reveal another picture frame but this one has Kayla, Dominique and Riley at Hope Park playing freebie on a sunny afternoon having a blast. More tears fall and this time she is unable to stop from breaking down. The Captain tries to comfort her the best he can

She shakily stands up to speak
Mrs. Lane: this group of people standing here was Dominique's family. He was proud to serve with each and everyone of you. He used to come home and tell me all kinds of stories about the adventures you all went on together. My son loved this city and he loved his job. It was who he was and now he's up there with my husband his father watching over all of us and making sure we are all safe. I would like to give the little girl that has touched everyone's heart that she has come in contact with Dominique's Shield. Kayla he would want you to have this
