It was a hot, humid day in California. Jon Baker was as always, waiting for his partner officer Frank Poncherello at their normal meetibg spot on the side of the freeway. He wasn't waiting long but it was long enoughto get him annoyed with his partner. A car sped by, almost causing an accident with the car in front of him.

Jon radioed in. "LA 15 7 Mary 3 in persuit of a reckless driver on harbor freeway heading toward the exit for W. Manchester Ave. All units proceed with caution as this car matches the description of a bank robbery suspect earlier this week."

"10-4 7 Mary 3. 7 Adam, assist 7 Mary 3." Central said.

"7 Adam responding."

Jon sped his motor and followed after the car with his sirens blaring. The car made a sharp turn. Jon slowed down at the turn so he wouldnt tip over. Finally, the car slowed down and stopped. Jon got off his motor and proceeded with caution toward the car.

"Driver of the vehicle, would you please step out?"

The driver stepped out and took out a shotgun.

Jon's demeaner changed as he saw the gun and slowly rose his hands.

"Stay back!" He shouted.

"Okay. Why dont you just calm down." He slowly started reaching for his own weapon.

"Stop moving! I see what youre doing!"

Jon stopped. "Okay."

"Listen fella, I dont want any trouble."

"Its too late for that isnt it? Give me your gun."

"What?"

The man repeated angrily. "Give. Me. Your. Gun." He cocked the shotgun.

"Okay. Okay. Here." Jon said as he threw it to him.

"Youre coming with me cop."

"I dont think so."

"Yes you are! Now, first, take off your belt and set it next to your bike. I dont want you trying anything."

Jon did just as he was told, mainly because he didnt want to get shot.

"Get the handcuffs and put your hands behind your back."

Jon did as he was told and the guy snatched the cuffs from him. Before he put them on Jon's wrists, Jon elbowed him in the face. But the guy was quick and hit him in the face with the butt of he gun.

Jon fell and immediately got back up.

He grabbed Jon by the wrist and out the cuffs on him. Jon was struggling against him. "Stop struggling and you wont get hurt anymore."

"What is it you want?"

"I just want the police to know Im serious."

He was shoved in the back of the car.

"Serious about what?"

"Like you dont know."

"Do you really think I read minds? You know, everyone is going to know something happened if I dont radio in."

"Thats their problem. Now shut your mouth."

Ponch finally showed up. He heard on the radio about the car Jon was following. He followed the same route Jon did and stopped once he passed his bike on the side of the road.

"Jon?" He called out.

Hw got off his bike and looked around the area. Then, he spotted something nextto the bike. Jon's belt and his gun was missing. He ran back to his bike and radioed in.

"LA 15 7 Mary 4 we have an 11-26 and a 10-65. Be on the lookout for officer Jon Baker. I found his motor abandoned. Something happened to him."
