At SRU headquarters, also known as the barn, Team One was rolling into the facility to start their day of work.
"So Raf you said you had a gig tonight right?" Michelangelo "Spike" Scarlatti asked his teammate as the two entered headquarters.
"Yeah we do, it's at a coffee shop right around the corner from the arena, you going to be able to make it out?" Rafik "Raf" Rousseau asked Spike.
"Me and Sam are, we have wanted to hear you guys play again for awhile," Spike answered.
"Be sure to send the address to us so we get to the right place, especially since Spike got lost last time" Sam Braddock added with a laugh as he entered the barn and heard the two talking about Raf's gig.
"It was one time, I just forgot it was the east part of the street not the west part," Spike said, explaining his side as Sam and Raf just laughed
"Boss, Ed, will you able to see the show tonight?" Raf asked the two men as they entered.
"No can do tonight Raf its date night with Sophia," Ed Lane responded. "Don't get many alone nights with the wife now that the baby is here," Ed added as the other guys understood where he was coming from.
"Going to have to pass as well Raf," Greg Parker responded. "Taking Dean to the Jays game tonight, it's been far too long since we've been to a ballgame together" Greg said.
"So guys what are we talking about?" Jules asked as she entered headquarters.
"Raf and his band have a gig tonight, just seeing who can go," Sam responded.
"Will we see you there tonight?" Spike asked.
"I think myself and Geoff can do that, we don't have any plans for the night, and we really enjoyed ourselves the last time we went to one of your shows," Jules responded.
"You guys have no plans; shouldn't you be packing for your California vacation that's just a week away?" Ed teased Jules.
"We are notorious for being late packers, especially Geoff," Jules said with a laugh.
"Just don't forget to pack us some souvenirs while you are there," Spike said as the other guys nodded in agreement.
"Well my friends we are visiting live not too far away from the desert, maybe I'll bring all you guys back some sand or rocks," Jules said laughing as she headed into the women's locker room and the guys went into their locker room.
Once everyone got changed they headed into the briefing room to begin their shift.
"Alright Team One plan for the day is simple so far, we're going to hit the weights for a bit, then head down to the shooting range for some target practice, and if things are still slow we'll head out on the town for some patrolling," Greg said. "Any questions?" he then asked.
"Who are we looking to top in the weight room and on the range?" Spike asked
"Ah as always the most important question of the day Mr. Scarlatti," Greg responded. "In the weight room Mr. Lane continues to have the bench to beat, while we have a new champion in the range for the moment as Mrs. Callaghan has the most targets hit in the shortest amount of time," Greg said.
"And that is a record I plan on keeping for as long as Ed has kept the bench record," Jules added with a laugh as the six made their way towards the weight room to begin their day.
Downtown Toronto, Outside of a bank
Outside of one of the First National and Trust banks in downtown Toronto a man sat in his car outside of the bank, prepping himself for a plan years and years in the making.
"This is it; the time for my plan is finally here. I was lucky to survive that wave, lucky to be in an area that it didn't hit when it happened. That has given me this second chance, and I must take advantage of it. It took me awhile but I finally found them, and when I get rid of them once and for all no one can stop me. She is the key; she is his only true weakness. When I have her he will crumble. They don't have powers anymore so they are ripe for the picking. The rest of them are on the other side of this continent, so they can't get in my way either, and it wouldn't matter if they were here because they don't have powers either. Victory shall finally be mine."
The man then grabbed his cell phone and dialed a number.
Back at SRU Headquarters
"And Eddy remains the champion in the weight room," Greg announced after Team One was done with lifting as Ed lifted his arms up in victory.
"We are going to have to get you one of those wrestling title belts soon to show off your dominates in the weight room," Spike said.
"As long as you are paying for it and it's the big gold one and not the spinner," Ed responded with a laugh while those who watched wrestling (Spike, Sam, and Greg) laughed as well.
"Well now that Ed has defended his title its mine turn, and as a certain wrestler would say, just bring it," Jules said as she gestured to the rest of the team.
"Didn't know you were into wrestling Jules," Sam responded.
"Only when The Rock is around," Jules answered as the team started to make their way towards the shooting range.
Before they could make it to the range though the sirens in the SRU headquarters started going off.
"Team One hot call, we got a bomb threat called into the First National and Trust Bank on the corner of York and Richmond West," Winnie Camden, the SRU dispatcher, announced over the intercom.
"Alright team lets suit up and get there as fast as we can," Greg said to his team and they got their gear on, picked up their weapons, and made their way to the cars to head to the bank where the bomb threat was.
Once they arrived on the scene everyone was given their assignments.
"Alright Spike head to the truck and try and pinpoint where that call came from and who made it, have Babycakes on standby too in case we need her. Jules stay here with the boss and talk with the teller who received the call. Sam and Raf with me to clear the building and look for anything that might be a bomb," Ed said to the team as they went to do their part.
"Alright team let's keep the peace," Greg told the other five.
Meanwhile the man in the car was still in his car as he saw the police arrive. He saw Jules get out of one of the vehicles and could only smile. The thought then crossed his mind to go ahead and take care of business now.
"No, I have this planned when I need to make my next move, no need to jump the gun and possibly ruin things," he said to himself as he continued to watch.
As Jules and Greg talked to the teller who received the call with the threat Spike was having no luck finding out where the call came from.
"This guy knew what he was doing, had the GPS disabled in the cell phone so I can't find where it came from. I'll see if I can get anything from the voice it does appear to be male," Spike said.
"Keep trying your best Spike," Greg responded.
"Babycakes is ready to go as well if needed," Spike added.
"All clear so far," Ed said.
"Nothing out of the ordinary here as well," Raf said.
"Same here," Sam added.
As the three continued to make their rounds they got the building clear. They also covered the whole building, including the roof, for something that could be a bomb, but found nothing.
"Building is clear and there is no sign of anything that looks like a bomb," Ed reported to Greg as the three left the building.
"Alright team this is starting to look like a false alarm or even a prank," Greg responded. Spike keep trying to find a match on that voice, we can at least get this person for inducing panic," Greg added.
"Got it boss," Spike responded.
The man in the car saw the three cops who entered the bank leave the building. Now was the time. He then pulled out his gun and opened the car door. He then raised the gun to the air and shot it twice.
Team One along with the other police officers and the workers from the bank got down as they heard the shots.
"Shots fired, we have shots fired," Greg yelled.
"Anyone see where they came from?" Raf asked.
"Guy in the car over there, holding the gun in the air," Sam answered.
Once the man was spotted he got back into the car and drove off. Spike, Ed, Jules, and Sam then got into two of the SRU cars and followed. Greg and Raf stayed on the scene to make sure everything was all clear at the bank.
"Alright team new deal, bomb threat may have been a ploy by this guy to get our attention," Greg said. "Did anyone catch the plate numbers for the car?" he asked.
"Got it here boss, its alpha Charlie bravo six three four niner," Jules responded.
"Did you get that Winnie?" Greg asked the dispatcher.
"Got it, searching for an owner now," Winnie responded.
"Looks like he is heading for the marina," Ed said.
"Keep in pursuit guys, me and Raf will stay here to make sure we have an all clear before joining you," Greg said.
"Alright boss the car belongs to a Lauren Jacobson, she doesn't live too far from the bank," Winnie said.
"Once we are done here at the bank myself and Raf will head to her residence," Greg answered. "Our shooter was a male so it's not her, could be a relative or significant other though," he added.
Ed, Sam, Spike, and Jules continued to chase after the car as it headed towards the marina. Once at the marina the man got out of the car and started running, firing some wild shots at the SRU SUV's that missed the cars.
"He has abandoned the car and is now on foot," Ed said as the four got out of their cars and proceeded on foot as well.
"Proceed with caution," Greg told the four.
"Boss I'm at the car, doesn't appear to be any other weapons in it or have any identification on who this guy may be," Spike said.
"Alright Spike stay with the car until the uniforms get there," Greg responded. "We have an all clear here at the bank so me and Raf are headed to see Lauren Jacobson and see if she has any information to help us figure out who this guy is," Greg said as he and Raf entered their car and headed to Miss Jacobson's address which wasn't too far from the bank.
The man continued to run through the marina and fire off shots randomly, not really trying to hit anyone just making a presence, it was all a part of his plan. Once he didn't see Jules or the other cops anymore he jumped into one of the boats that didn't have a tarp over it and hid.
"Any luck guys," Spike asked the three.
"Negative," each responded.
"Guys we are at Lauren's, the car was stolen a few days ago by a man in his mid to late thirties with brown hair. Lauren had never seen the man before. Uniforms haven't been able to id him or match him up to anything in the databases, so it looks like this guy may be an out of towner who just came here to commit some out of the blue crimes," Greg said.
"Carjacking, inducing panic, and firing at officers, he has been busy since getting here," Spike responded.
"Add to that breaking and entering and stealing a weapon as well. He broke into Lauren's place looking for something. Her boyfriend had gotten her a gun because of multiple break-ins in the area, and he was able to get the gun from her. He just wanted a car though cause all he asked for was the keys to it," Greg added.
"Weird indeed," Sam said as he, Jules, and Ed continued looking for the man in the marina.
The man continued to hide from the three on one of the boats. He soon heard footsteps approaching and peered over the edge quietly. He saw Jules and knew now was the time. Once she had passed the boat he was hiding on he quietly stuck off it.
Jules continued going past the boats in the marina looking for the man with brown hair and in his mid to late thirties. She looked around each corner only to find nothing. After passing one boat she thought she heard something. She went to turn around but before she could she felt something against her back. It was a gun.
"Hello Jules, or should I say Kimberly," the man said.
Jules was shaken to the core. She knew that voice. It was a voice she never wanted to hear again. A voice she couldn't understand how she was hearing because he was suppose to be dead.
"Tony"
A/N: While it appears to be Tony, everything is not what it seems to be. The true identify of this person will be revealed in chapter three, plus Team One learns about Geoff and Jules' past.
