Prologue
Starsky opened the door, anger in is eyes. Hutch was right behind him. The blond turned to look at Captain Dobey. "You know this stinks."
Hutch caught up to his partner in the hallway, grabbing Starsky's shoulder and turning him around.
Blue eyes met blue, tension filled the air. "We'll fight it, Hutch pleaded."
"What's the point? They already think I'm guilty." Starsky pointed a finger at Hutch.
"One wrong name on a piece of paper, Starsky. It's just a mistake."
I was a damn good cop. Starsky pointed his finger at himself. "I want that back. Hell, Damian walked because of my mistake, on a piece of paper."
Hutch's blue eyes softened. "God knows, you were in a car wreck; the tomato was totally ruined. Your damn lucky to be alive."
Starsky stormed off.
Hutch stood alone, looking around at those who were watching. He motioned to the officers. "Mind your own business."

Starsky's eyes stared out the window...
Hutch turned the key in the ignition, then gently pulled Statsky's face toward him. "I'm here for you, Buddy." Starsky nodded, as their eyes met.
