"Alright." Greg said to us, "They're here to ask us questions about how it all went down. You've been officially debriefed, so you can talk about it, but I would prefer that you not get too detailed, ok?"
We all nodded.
"Ok-" Greg said, "They want to talk to me first."
Greg sat down at the stool. The television crew had setup in one of the conference rooms. They were using a large piece of cloth that had the SRU insignia as the back drop.
"What is your name, and your role in the Strategic Response Unit?" the journalist asked.
"I'm Sargent Greg Parker- I work primarily with Team One, but I'm also a member of Strategic Response Unit Administration Team."
"Do you feel happy that we have a serial killer off of the streets?"
"I love my job- I wouldn't be happier doing anything else. There are days that we patrol, and there are days like the day Duncan Ranger was arrested- every one of those days makes me happy."
"What do you remember the most about the day of the arrest?"
"For me- it was just another day."
"What is your specialty Mr. Lane?"
Ed looked into the camera with a cold stone look, "I'm a long distance marksman."
"A sniper?"
"No, a long distance marksman." Ed corrected.
"Are you happy about having Mr. Ranger off the streets?"
"I'm not at liberty to discuss that."
"You've been a member of SRU for how long?"
"Six months." Brad answered.
"Is it all it's cracked up to be?"
"Oh, yes it is. The people here- everybody takes the job very seriously, which is obviously what they need to do, because of the job."
"Are you afraid?"
Brad thought about it for a moment, "Yes, Ma'am- I am afraid. I'm afraid of being shot and not going home at night."
"You are…?"
"Megan Perrasmith."
"You're fairly young to be a police officer."
"I was studying under the best professors and instructors at Durham College in Police Foundations and was a SRU Rover Crew Sargent. There was a position available for an officer in training, so I took it."
"You are the only female member of SRU Team One?"
"Currently, yes."
"Currently?"
"My step-mother was a member of SRU Team One before my step-sister was born."
"Does policing run in your family? What did your father do?"
"Yes- policing does run in my family. My great grandfathers served in World War Two, my grandfather is retired from the Navy, and my father was a member of SRU Team One."
"So your blood does run blue?"
"Yes."
"Do you feel good about the arrest of Duncan Ranger?"
"Well, anyday that I get to enforce the laws and regulations of our modern society is a day that I feel good. My great-grandfathers fought for our freedom, and I help preserve it."
"What do you remember the most the day of the arrest?"
"A lot of things happened on that day, it's hard to pick just one."
"Try."
I thought about it. I thought about how I want to be perceived, and how Greg doesn't want us sharing intimate details.
"That was the day my baby sister turned five months old."
"You're afraid of your job?" the reporter asked Brad.
"I'm not afraid of my job- I'm afraid that I may not come home after a shift."
"Mr. Lane, do you have faith in your Team?"
"Of course." Ed replied, "I am the Team Leader, it is my job to lead them. I trust them, as they trust me-without them I would be nothing, 'We burn the fat off of our souls.' Henway said that."
"Sargent, do you think that if the Toronto Police Service employed more competent officers, that the murders of Kendra Plant, Hope Caesar, Juliet Prang, Amy Yi, Claire Romeo and Laurie Cooper could have been prevented."
"First of all," Greg replied, "Laurie Cooper was not murdered by Duncan Ranger. In the events leading up to his arrest, his actions, which endangered the lives of several- including Laurie Cooper. Laurie Cooper's death is considered public endangerment with criminal intent causing in death."
"Mrs. Perrasmith-"
"Please, call me Megan; Mrs. Perrasmith is my mother."
"Megan- do you think that Mr. Duncan Ranger's case is another case to bring back capital punishment?"
"I am not at liberty to discuss Mr. Ranger's legal case of law."
"Do you believe capital punishment should be brought back for cases similar to this one?"
"Do you?" I asked back, avoiding providing an answer.
A/N: A little short chapter for ya'll. This chapter marks the end of my 'Goddess' saga within A New Beginning. I had a lot of fun writing it, and even more fun reading the reactions of my readers via reviews. Now what that means? REVIEW!
